"Just make whichever unit you think looks cooler." I see you too are a man of culture. *Instructions unclear, massed Teutonic Knights and then wondered why they did not have horses.*
I feel like you should have mentioned that with just two relics and full upgrades the letis three shots halbs instead of four. With such a heavy counter I bet that makes a huge difference on the field.
They do significantly better, true, but it's still a great trade for the Halbs. They also die faster to Halbs than Paladins, so that's still a problem.
You will overwhelm halbs in a team game pretty easily I think, but lacking that extra armor is a problem against their ranged units. I think they would be a solid compliment civ to a full paladin player in a 4v4.
Aoe 2 logic : Leitis's lance can completely pierce full-plate, chain-mail and Shields, Ignoring all armor. Scorpion's giant bolts the size of a horse can't.

Hey, I really enjoy modding Age of Empires 2 and I would like to share with you how the "true damage" is working behind the scene. You probably know that most unit have hidden attack bonuses vs. certain unit. That bonus works this way: Each unit have a type of armor dedicated to its type, normally with a value of 0. For example Knights have 0 cavalry armor. So when a unit deals damage to another, it deals each of its damage type to the corresponding armor type. So melee damage -> melee armor and cavalry damage -> cavalry armor. If you do not have a specific type of armor, you do not take damage from that type of damage (Pikemen do not have cavalry armor, so they do not take cavalry damage) So what about the Leitis? They do not deal any melee damage. They have 0 melee damage. Instead they have an unnamed type of damage and every units (not buildings) in the game have that same unnamed type of armor set to 0. So, in a sens, you could say that the Leitis deals 0 damage but have bonus damage vs. everything.
@@ArawnOfAnnwn Good question, I made a little mistake: Buildings do have the Leitis damage type armor! But instead of having a value of 0 like all units, they have the same value as their melee armor. Good catch!
@@zeroomega3781 it would mean inserting specific logic to the damage system in an old and complex code, when they just had to add new value type. I can see why they did it and I wouldn't call it stupid

Hey, Spirit Of The Law, could you do a video about different resource collection rates at different ages? This way I'd have a better understanding of what resource is more valuable/demanding at each age. Nice video as always. Shout out from Canada! Thanks!
also it should include what people are likely to need to invest in each age so we can do the mental math like, I need to get this tech but it will cost me a bunch of gold so i will have to shift over 5 villagers to gold to compensate.
@@Michaelonyoutub Well Food in first age, then food + wood and the following would be gold and stone. That's the basic you can use all the time i assume.
@@HandsomeGamerGuy yes but on average, how much where and for how long? and how does that change for different strategies and maybe even civilizations?
A nice coincidence (and maybe intentional) is that Lithuania was throughout it's history largely surrounded by Slavs (Russians to the east, Poles, not including Ruthenians as they were mostly a part of Lithuania at the time) AND the Teutonic Order (also to the west). And both Slavs and Teutons have a heavily armoured unique unit that is very vulnerable to the Lithuanian Leitis.
The times in description are pure gold. You deserve golden medal for that + plus your content is amazing. Informative and fun to watch (even though I don't play AoE 2)
Could you do a trample damage video? Talking about how the damage works and what's the best way to set up your troops to either take advantage of it or limit it's effect. I love your vids. You got me into the game TY so much.
Tip for getting relics: set monastery gather point to a relic, build a monk, ignore it until you hear the relic picked up noise. Then queue it to go back to the monastery and to every other available relic and back, starting with relics your opponent could easily take but is neglecting.
Probably better to wait a couple months until the civ balancing settles down. For instance, the Vietnamese are still being worked on. Or even the recent Khmer farming change might get a bit more tweaking. And technically the new civs have also had a balance pass only once so far, and even that barely touched one of them (Tatars).
I'd love to see a new unique unit introduced, an infantry duelist wielding a rapier. The selling points would be high attack speed, and in contrast to all other melee units, the duelist would deal pierce damage instead of regular melee damage - which is in line with the rapier style of use. Usually many units are stronger in melee armor because melee attacks typically deal more damage than pierce, so this melee unit with pierce damage could catch people by surprise and be a fun mix into a more conventional army composition. Potentially, the unit could also have a "block" ability where the duelist might negate a percentage of the incoming attack damage.
Rapiers weren't really a thing on the battlefield and considering dueling (in that fashion) was more of a pastime activity at the absolute end of the middle ages (at earliest), I wouldn't say they'd fit in AoE2. But I like the idea of a pierce damage doing unit without range, perhaps something like the AoE3 urumi's of the Indians? Another civ using that build set would be nice anyways
Re op esa unidad. Igual que el konniks, civís que ni siquiera a lo largo de la historia fueron tan importantes como las primeras y con unidades súper fuerte. Al final no sabes con qué contraatacar si te tocan lituanos. Spirit of the law, los mejores videos del age son los tuyos. Abrazo gigante.💪🏽😎
I actually would like to know how well the Leitis does against Cataphracts, and if the Cataphracts' "I ignore up to 20 bonus damage" thing also applies to the Leitis' "I ignore all of your melee armor".
@@typhoonoftempest I don't think so since it works by being a different type than melee attack (more precisions here th-cam.com/video/UT15hVxa33I/w-d-xo.html)
The cataphract gets a specific hidden bonus “cavalry armor” which mitigates bonus damage to cavalry units. Since the leitis is not doing bonus damage to cavalry but merely ignoring normal melee armor, the cataphract should not have any hidden effects going on here.
I love how AoE 2 Definitive Edition has brought some cavalry with spear units, given that spears and lances were actually the main weapons of cavalry in Medieval times.
I could be wrong here, but I think that the +4 atk from relics really benefit the Leitis for all around offensice use or as a line breaker in a way the paladin a bit so slow for.
Idk... as a Lithuianian player I find that elite leitis absolutely smoke most everythign I encounter on the field. Once you get towards castle/ imp you generally find that players have tons of armored units on the field and the leitist absolutely mows everything down. Inclduing archers. Paladins are to expensive.
In case someone wonders how this bonus is implemented: The Leithis attack belongs to a new Damage Channel, wich has it's own - not normally displayed - armor to counter it. Units do not have any of that new Leitis Armor. However buildings are given Leitis armor for free and that upgtrades with stuff that buffs their HP too.
Intro still is great, it's a treat I always watch. But really, really miss the armadillo swarm of rams crossing battlefield you have in earlier videos. Most other TH-cam vids I skip the intro sequence. This I always watch. Great content, even though I don't play this game. 👏👍❤️❤️
the knight line is the good default unit but the Leitis has the advantage that you don't have to worry about your opponent researching blacksmith armor upgrades
Hey Spirit, another great video :) I'm wondering if I can use (credited) clips from your 'Koreans Overview AoE2' video for a video of my own explaining how I first got into Korean culture (weird I know)? Would mean the world to me :) Keep up the good work.
Next video should consider the cost effectiveness after getting 4 relics. Not only does each relic increase their attack, it also generates gold which offsets the increased gold cost of the unit. Does the extra attack make the unit more versatile? Etc.
I would actually like to see comparison of relic tresholds. I mean, Elite Letis / Paladin vs Pikes. Each of them have 18 attack, but with 2 relics (which isn't uncommmon) it jumps from 4 attacks for Leitis, but it remains 4 for Paladins. Same with 40 hp of Arbalest where in some cases access to archers and effectiveness of units on surface could actually be more than +1 pierce armor similarly to steppe lancers.
I feel like this mimics the samurai vs champion debate. the Leitis can fill the role of the knight line in most situations and also performs better in certain ones, at the cost of a castle and likely smaller numbers as a result, which must be weighed
One mistake in this video is that relic damage bonus should be taken into consideration more when choosing which to go for. As you said, leitis is the more offensive and paladin the more tanky version. Getting a flat damage increase, actually benefits the paladin more. From personal experience leitis is overall better at 0 or 1 relics, roughly equal at 2 and paladins outshining at 3 or 4. Anyway, people always go Konnik this Konnik that but I think the Leitis is the strongest unit in the entire game. Imagine that paladins used to be considered the overall best unit, and Lithuanians have the best version of that best unit AND a unit that is even better than the strongest version of the strongest unit.
This unit feels like a powerful option to mix in during castle age or even full-on castle Leitis push. If the game goes to imp it's still worth getting the elite upgrade if you have some left over from castle age, but ultimately are not really worth investing much further in imp where trash, raiding, and ranged units are frequently dominant. However, if you have 3+ relics this could change things. Although I'd wager the knight line would benefit from that more.
