You forgot the best part: the monk upgrades weren't half as impactful as they might seem, because they don't apply to converted units 11 (not even if you convert them back)
As T90 mentioned, they barely had any good economy, so they'd have to switch vills off gold, possibly losing during the time it'd take them to switch due to the opponent overwhelming them with monks. The other major reason is that light cav attack from a different angle, so they don't compliment your monks, they basically open a new subgame. But with your opponent having so many monks, you'd need like at least (!) half as many light cav as he does monks (against Bengali you also need forging to 3-shot them due to 3/3 armor). If you don't have sufficient light cav, your opponent can just point groups of 3-5 monks at every single light cav and it'll likely not only die before it converts a monk, now your opponent had a light cav against your monks, so it's only worth it if you can kill off an entire monk army at once basically. That said, I don't see why blue spent 1000 on imp, I would've gone for a hidden tc (monks are slow, your opponent will likely not spot it) with 8 vills and made a stable to continuously trickle produce light cav until I have enough to break the stalemate. Ideally when there's just been a big battle and I'm ahead. *then the winged hussars arrived* 🎶
This many monks on that field just looking at each other trying to figure out who is what and when and oh that guy is now a different colour, hey I am a different colour, who am I what? It's really the Josh Fight meme
The resilience of Varvarus was admirable. Same as humble way of accepting the defeat by Red Phosphorus. I enjoyed that one, watching first AoE video in almost a year.
Will show this to my children, random number generation, probability, hardwork, strategy, commitment as well as the final C/D ratio of 1. Perfectly balanced as it should be. Started as a clown but gg'ed as a true gentleman
So many monks even this comment was converted.
T90 converted someone's comment !

"You convert one monk, I convert it back! VULULU! VULULU!"
This is absolutely hilarious, I did wonder why one of them didn't just switch to light-cav but going all on monks is so much funnier

Ah yes, the South Asian church choir battle. Truly AoE 2 is the finest reality simulator of our time.
Felt like twitter drama.
„For science purposes“ i always stick around 😂
To troll those of us who speed it up - you should cast it at half speed so that when we double it it goes at normal speed.

"It was a fun game, if you didn't play it" lol
Never caught a video so close to drop. Been watching alot of 1 or 2 year old videos.
Too many monks! (To the tune of “Too Many Cooks”)
That thumbnail is insane
Thank you for speeding through

I've soiled myself, again
If you get converted, was it still you who soiled yourself, or someone else?
Anyway, I still watch it on 1.5x speed
28:23 RP was converting vills repairing the trebuchet and they were being killed by the castle. It wasn't all monks.
lol! I feel called out! %G haha guilty x2 speed for all videos, apart from comedy & music.
as someone who never uses monks, this game was indeed blowing my brains out.
