    I theorize that single villager didn't die from Blue's units, but rather died from back problems from carrying Red's entire strategy. XD

    Damn, red's primary strategy was just "be as annoying as possible" and it actually paid off, that's nuts.
    Also I love how that one red flaming house stayed up the whole time

      I have to agree. It's certainly more relatable for me who knows how to play (compared to low elo legends) but can't execute it well enough (like the pros). I would love to see more replays from this level (about 1100-1500)!

    I think Red fell victim to a trap that will be familiar to Civilisation 4 players. There's a strategy called a choke, where you don't focus on stealing an enemy's cities outright, but instead raid their tiles and destroy their economic units. You then focus on your own domestic economy until you are strong enough to overwhelm your opponent's hobbled empire. However, the danger here is that you lose focus on your domestic economy because all your energy is devoted to destroying your opponent's economy. I think one of the reason Red had a rough 'middle' game is because he was so focussed on disrupting Blue, he didn't notice things going wrong at home.
    Once he rectified that, he could take advantage of the choke he was putting on Blue and win the game from there.

    When does a "battle event" occur? How many units or how many types of units do you have to produce and what do you have to do in order to trigger it?

    You should continue your road to 1800 again. I know 1800 is a lot harder now adays.
    Still miss hearing you commenting on your own games. Xox

      Unfortunately, he isn't super interested in it anymore.
      He explained it in one of his....i think it was the "answering comments" videos.
      Also, it is much harder to get to 1800 elo on DE when compared with Voobly.
      Tbh, while i do want to see that series continue, i can kinda understand why he isn't interested in it.

      @@nbrocx4216 the series was 1800 HD, not voobly. 1800 HD ~ 1500 Voobly ~ 1300 DE (with a decent margin of error on each of those conversions). Getting to that point is basically equivalent to basic competence in all the basic facets of multiplayer along with comfortability with the basic build orders, so I imagine Spirit could reach it if he really wanted to grind. It's a nontrivial time investment to even reach that point though.

      @@Naverb Thanks for the correction.
      1800 HD elo it is.
      Tbh, i'd say that the "basic" competence that you speak of isn't very basic after all. Half the playerbase is around 1050 elo in DE. If your conversions are assumed to be correct, 1300 de elo is in the top 20% of the playerbase, something which, while not impossible, is, like you said, "nontrivial".
      And, he has already answered, somewhat indirectly, to another comment under this very video, that he hasn't played a ranked game in DE at all. (I'm sure he means 1v1)
      Idk if spirit is a full time youtuber or not. But, looking at his upload schedule, it is very likely that he has a job outside YT. For a TH-camr like Spirit, he can either focus on only the analysis part of the game, or the competitive side. Doing both will put a lot of strain on his already busy schedule, since he barely gets free time in the day.
      If he were to start the road to 1800 (or, 1300 rather) series now, it will slow down his frequency of analysis videos. And you and I both know how much he loves analyzing the game. If he were playing ranked even on a weekly basis, it wouldn't have been a big deal. Although, he would still have had to focus on one at a time.
      (I am in a somewhat similar situation. I had to stop playing ranked because i didn't get the time to play aoe2 anymore. I haven't played properly in almost 6 months now. Work can take its toll. )
      Again, you don't have to accept my answer. You can hear it from Spirit himself in one of his 'answering comments' videos. He wasn't that interested in continuing the series then. Now, if he isn't playing ranked on DE, he probably still isn't in the mood to continue that series.
      Although, we can always wait and see. Who knows, Spirit may change his mind in the near future.
