- This viewer-submitted game starts out pretty normal for 1000 elo players, but quickly turns into one of the most ridiculous games I've ever seen.
If you have a recording you want to send me, you can send it to spiritofthelawyoutube@outlook.com - please include a short description of the game in the email with the attached recording. I can't make any promises I'll have time to watch every recording sent to me, but I'll do my best.

*taps head*
Noob question, but do you lose villagers when their houses are destroyed?
@@francescop1 no, at worst you can get more population than you have space
But that just prevents you from making more units until you rebuild the houses, it will never kill villagers.
19:05 chad samurai rushes through everything and single-handedly defeats the trebuchet
immediately dies afterwards
His heroic action and sacrifice to win the war.
Made me laugh so hard! That one fucking samurai lmao!
Given how important that castle proved, that one samurai arguably won the game.
HONORABRU
Does this mean T90 is going to be releasing a math video today?
oh god please yes
He did say that he wanted to do a video on straggler trees...
"How to place T90 farms efficiently"
No, Hera's been doing the math videos lately. This means T90 has to actually play the game.
@@ailius1520 Beginner to 2k with T90. First episode is about farm placement.
"Military beats villagers."
How were we supposed to know that, with you leaving it out of your counters tutorial? Keeping all your secrets to yourself, I see!
Incas and Spanish beg to differ
@@JeremyRight-zi4yp well incans maybe. No one worth a damn would let a spanish player get to castle age unopposed
@@212mochaman *laughs in supremacy vil push*
I *love* how that forgotten, half-destroyed blue barracks behind reds base somehow ended up playing a pivotal role at the end (protecting the trebs)
They were so inflexible with their unit choices especially Red.
To be fair, it looks like Blue was making the right choices. Red definitely committed too hard to eagles though.
Omg i rooted for red but i can't stand to see his his bad research paths and unit picks
so i was a huge noob until quite recently and I think as a noob you often commit to something that succeeded once. Red took out 99% of blue economy with eagles, so he kept making them. To a noob taking out enemy TC is basically a win, I think that's why he held on to them so much
Blue actually could’ve gone
To Calvary
some people seem to think Eagles are unstoppable very good units, when in reality I find them very mediocre. Also I never understand why people don't build more trash mid-early game. Red and blue sometimes had 1500+ food and wood stockpiled, they were waiting for gold. Why not pump out some Skirms and Pikes as a meatshield to protect your better army? This is why I like the new Persian tech as if you are pushed off your gold, as long as you have wood coming in you can pump out Xbows and use that valuable gold for knights
Please do more of these low elo games casting, I absolutely see myself in those players, its hilarious.
This would be awesome, the Bronze League Heroes of AOE II
Also same, haven't even played my necessary 10 games to be properly ranked. Won my first one ever, felt pretty good, got destroyed in my second one lol
Totally agree! This is great to watch and you're a great commentator already Spirit of the Law!
You know low elo legends is a thing right? There are 12 episodes out already I think.
The amount of likes on your comment is currently 420. Nice.
And we're gonna see a big fight right here- oh they just ran past each other.
Hera: makes a math video about blacksmith upgrades
The Viper: makes a best civs video.
SOTL: Casts a low elo legends game
T90: ???
T90: Wins 1 v 1 against viper on a random opponent game where viper decided to take it seriously when it was too late
This comment might be unnecessary, but that map looks like an upside down broccoli.
Personally I'll never unsee dollar store disguise glasses.
You're my favorite looking troop, two handed swordsman
Man, I love broccoli but it is getting expensive in my country due to the C-Virus :(
Jennifer LePage well now I can see that as well
This comment was posted by the Two Handed Swordsman gang
This is one of the most entertaining games I've seen in a while, and I love your 'constantly gently-amused' style of casting it.
I like the reaction to the early multiple goat kills:
T90: OH MY GOD NOOOOOOOOO! Don't kill all the goats at once! What a waste!
Spirit: Not a huge deal but it does waste a little bit of food. So, player on red is the Aztecs ...
Can you recommend a few other pvp games I can check out? I’m just getting back into AoE and this was super entertaining
@@Palmatom T90 is too disrespectful with the noobies
@@danielasanabria3242 yep he makes it sound like he was never there
@@Palmatom T90 is a hypeman, that's his gig
Love you man, I did not expect you to actually cover it, what a game it was, haha
gg bruh🙏
absolute legend! Can't raid your economy if you don't have any X'D
Annoying notification for a two year old comment
well played, sir
Spirit of the Low (Elo Legends)
T90 likes them lower, this is actually close to my rank and I get kicked from all the noob games ;(
1000 is pretty average actually
@@Halvtooth At the time of writing, red is a bit above 800 Elo (according to aoe2.net), so this game is actually right around T90's territory. It's possible that he might have been closer to 1k when this game was played.
Wood ELO Empires
@@Halvtooth yeah i know that feeling. It is a weird Spot to be in because you get kicked in noob Games but all other games start at 1200 ELO and they do Not want to have you either 😂
You were so respectful to them at their levels. I saw a lot of myself at their mistakes. Great commentary SotL. Big fan.
True. He is much more respectful than other casters out there.
T90 laughing his ass off at these low elo matches, lol
RED: Skirmishers counter everything
"I got the unique tech that buffs them, so they much be good!"
Also Eagles are perfect against Infantry!
@@Heavysweating But he didn't get Chemistry or Balistics, not sure about Bracer. With 30-40 fully upgraded Atlatl skirms, he would have easily taken out those low numbers of Samurai.
I believe you commentated this because Blue played as Japanese.
I was going to say the same thing. Japanese won a (admittedly entertaining) game, and SotL decides it needs commentating. What a surprise!
That one barracks blue had right to the end of the game making two handed swordsmen was the real MVP
Spirit has no idea what he has unleashed, he will drown in the flood of low level games coming his way.
"At the end, Military beats Villagers"
_The Spanish would like to know your location_
i bet you mean incas
@@OzMuGu he means the Supremacy tech of the Spanish. Villagers get +40hp, +6 attack, and +2/+2 armour. Incas with their blacksmith techs will only get +4 attack and +3/+4 armour, but without the extra hit points - also at a much greater cost but having some of the bonuses earlier on.
I now want to see a Spanish vs Incas game, no military, villagers only.
@@du1987de incas will win early game and finish it. supremecy is imp tech and game wont reach there. check what noboru does to other people. there are videos of noboru in t90official's channel.
Hell yeah that'd be amazing!
@@du1987de Yes plz
Tell T90
Imagine outright bumping into your enemy and then you both just apologize and walk past each other like you're not at war.
Would love to see more of this type of commentary. You have a very pleasant caster voice and are my fav AoE2 channel. Looking forward to more!
Honestly think that I would have died to blue's early aggression. These players are actually better than me 😅
yeah if these are low level players I'm like a tutorial AI lol
Yeah
What the hell i thought that im ofc but thab low elo but guess what, im not
I'm on 1100, and they're leagues above
@@uzairahmed4832 same, I'm about 1050 right now. These guys look like they are around 1100 or 1200
Same. :(
32:30 That overkill LMAO
I got stressed out and I wasn’t even playing
Same, AOE stresses me so much but i love the game
me too. im still nervous here after finishing watching it
cringe
@@avacyn2000 yeah, commenting 'cringe' is pretty cringey.
@@MidoriOfTheShuinsen no hes right. Being "stressed" over a VIDEOGAME is just cringe. Unless you're a child then its normal i guess.
19:20 that brave samurai defending his castle tho
chad af
That was completely absurd but tons of great learning opportunities. I really liked seeing things pointed out without judgement or harshness, ultimately I know that I'd probably make a lot of the same decisions as these players. Especially camping my base with an army when there's a 5 minute window to just win the game... Classic.
Finally low ELO legends! xD
That straggler trees start though.. -I can hear T90 complaining in the background-
They are playing great! Better than me :P
Straggler trees REEEEEEEE
@@onetrucksizedsalmon2962 or one hundred salmon-sized T90s?
28:22 Blue is an absolute genius, your opponent can't raid an economy you don't have!
I seriously though i was watching T90 for like a good solid minute
me too! I was very confused to hear SOTL's voice and not T90's
@Ulf Knudsen
The only difference is that T90 is a V.High Elo player while sucks at Maths and Calculations while SOTL is amazing at Calculations and Maths but is a mid Elo player...
Me too.
In case anyone is wondering, it's 420 and he's totally stoned.
@@NaumanAsif sotl is a lot calmer as a caster. Soothing
19:11 Hero Samurai
ABSOLUTE LEGEND! I was cheering him on so much.
He's the real MVP
Build skirmishers. They don't work? Build Eagles. They don't work? Try MORE skirmishers then.
Love these commentaries that you do. Please upload more for eager learners like us! :)
26:48 - BIG FIGHT!!
26:49 - nevermind
26:51 - treb DOWN!
26:55 - new treb ready
this game... they are low elo players but the important thing is that it is balanced match! so much happening and I laughed and had fun so much during watching!
wp both players and thanks sotl for video :D
Trebuchet: I'm here! hey what happened to the other trebuchet?
Samurais: What other trebuchet?
@@personalejcr this made my day XD
It's frustrating to see that red could have won EASILY if he had taken the time to destroy the Temple, denying all gold (and military) for his opponent :/
At some point there is nobody in Blue's base and Red have like 6 or 8 EWarrior around. 30 seconds of attack would have won him the game ez.
Red could have easily won as soon as they broke the treeline. But then they just did nothing with that at all.
@@iforgot87872 Red could've won, if he just made archers against Samurai, and not Skirms
Also, Red *really* screwed it with the unit counters. The mangonels were good, but otherwise they were sending units that were easily taken out by Blue's Samurais and later 2h swordmen, making them unable to put all their extra economy into a viable army.
That, and being scared into not attacking earlier
yes I tend to see this a lot, even in pro games. One team has a large army, is positioned right outside the enemy base, and the enemy town is completely undefended. Yet the guy on top never pushes an attack? instead they just waste time plinking at outlying buildings. I guess it's the fog of war and fear of losing your army stopping them from sending in their army and winning?
I've watched so many games where pros were just too timid, they never pushed an attack, and they gave their opponent the time they needed to recover.
Or I've seen many games where a player will pull off a good attack, take out an enemies defensive army, leaving the enemy town ripe for conquest. Yet the attacking player never follows this up? You'd think he would be building units during the attack to push forward?
I also wonder why some times, people who have 1500+ spare food/wood, and plenty of spare pop (say in Mid Castle age) - why don't they pump out some trash as a meatshield? Pump out some skirms for enemy crossbows, and some light cav to dissuade Mangonel attacks.
I always see pros going for a massively gold heavy army but leaving themselves massively vulnerable to mangonels/archers when 10 trash units would do the job just fine.
Guys please dont forget, these are not pros. The “a pro would do x“ is not really a fair argument. I think they played very well and did their best. It is very easy to be stressed out in such games. Being nervous and doing everything in the same time, trying not to lose.
All I want to say is, that they can be proud of that game. Both players learnt a lot, Im sure. It was a very close and action packed game. High quality AOE if you ask me.
12:15 red villagers quietly getting massacred on the right with not even a mention for their rememberence. RIP poor little Aztec fellows
29:56
THAT BARRACKS IS STILL ALIVE??
And going along with the funny tone of all the match, it is going to play a key role in blue's final assault to red's eco: 2h swordsmen were born from that barracks.
blue: "omae wa mo shindeiru!"
red "nani"
ya might wanna edit ya comment: it's wa and not ma and mo not wo.
@@Daxter250 thx dude
Priceless comment
This is my vibe!!! As a noob, I can really feel the emotion of this game. Cheers!!!
That Daut castle though lol
Spirit of the Caster is here everyone! :D
Let's be honest, the real reason Spirit posted this is because one of them is playing as Japanese.
what's the joke?
He constantly emphasizes they are his favourite civ
Please do more videos of that kind. It's really entertaining!
This was so much fun! I hope you keep doing this kind of content in the future! Love ya SotL!
I'd like to imagine when the treeline chopped down the villagers are just friends and greeting eachother until the military comes in and ruins all the fun
Do more of these, especially of lower level players. It's interesting to watch you react to their choices and idiosyncrasies.
20:15- this is so frustrating to watch. How could you puncture the treeline and not buildup a force to take advantage of it. And then they walk villagers right through it instead of sending their military there. I don't get it. Red deserved to lose that castle shortly after. It honestly feels like they threw the game away on purpose, not using a flank like that.
What's even funnier about it is that Blue didn't even noticed the red villagers walking past them to get to the mines! XD
Id of built trebutchets and left the tree line there.
I don't think red really noticed and those villagers walked through because he reassigned them to a mine (and through the base was the fastest way)
20:25
"Don't mind us, we're just passing through real quick."
"So I'm gonna make this castle with 1 villager to protect this place and gonna forget about it... há just throwing some stone away!"
26:45
Absolutely histerical,
as someone who plays at this elo I appreciate little gems like this
I died a bit whenever the aztec player threw the eagles on the samurai lol, nice vid btw
I love your commentary! You're well spoken, insightfull and that without getting boring. Love it. Do more!
I really enjoyed this! I hope you do more commentary of low ELO matches in the future. This was actually a really good learning experience for me.
One of the greatest underdog stories of our generation.
Blue was just full SMOrc in this game, I love how newer players have this tenacity, especially when they are also aggressive.
SM? Shadow Magic?
@@Bloodlyshiva Samurai im guessing
@@Bloodlyshiva Sorry for the late response, SMOrc is a twitch emote. SM stands fpr Space Marine, its a warhammer 40k reference. Orcs are very agressive there
PLEAAAASE MAKE MORE OF THESE. i just love the longer videos getting us to enjoy your voice even longer
Ridiculous to say the least! Loved this. Spirit, you are the reason I have gotten into Age of Empires 2 so much. I love this game and your content. It is always coming and very interesting. DO more videos like this!
Elite samurais: omae wa mo shinderu!
Aztecs: NANI?!
Really enjoy the chill cast style
I loved this game when it first came out. I discovered it again last week and now there are channels to discuss strategy. I love your channel and your ideas about build orders. Try to improve my hot keying as I was too mouse oriented before. So much fun to be playing this again. What a great game that has lasted the test of time.
I think this is the most entertaining and engaging youtube video I've seen in a loooong time, what a game, wow.
Huge fan here, excellent! What a captivating game that was! xD
1:53 "Both players here are actually housed at the same time..."
VIPER CONFIRMED!!!
Viper is playing against himself, that's why each side only has ~1k Elo
I like it when you cast games, please do more if you are up for it.
This was very fun to watch. Thank you for sharing this game with us. I like your gameplay videos with commentary.
I love seeing you get into casting (is it still called casting if it's a recorded game?). I learn so much from your videos so I'm excited to learn more from you commenting on game play. If I may, I'd like to give some constructive feedback:
1. In a low/mid ELO game like this, tie what we're seeing back to basic concepts. Many of us watch your channel to learn so comment on how these players could improve (you did do this sometimes, to be fair).
2. You have a very calming, even voice. While you're certainly not monotone, you would benefit from changing your voice's pitch, intonation, speed, and volume at times to help maintain viewer attention. There are many different ways to do this so just find speaking techniques that fit your style.
Thank you for posting this video. I look forward to watching more.
Remember boys, this comment is *16 hours ago*
yeah. T90 nails that on his commentary, you can hear his excitement
@@twohandedswordsman852 playlist
I think Spirit of the Law's unique voice makes him stand out and I think he should maintain it even for casting. Great work SOTL! Im always looking forward to see your videos. Please keep up the good work!
@@cbflazaro t90 is way too cringe and immature for the most part. I wish he'd focus more on gameplay and not himself, being self-deprecating for chat's amusement
wait, this is 1000ELO? those guys are so much better then me xD
1000 Elo is supposed to be average.
very entertaining match! would love to see more of these on your channel
Make more of these videos, this was awesome and your commentary is great
Hey guys, T90 of the law here
I'm feeling dumb, I could've sworn that it was a T90 video up until the end. I was enjoying anyways, pristine commentary right here.
Red really should've taken out the monastery when he was just casually strolling through the blue base
Love to see a renowned channel like this seriously cast games from people of my own level. So entertaining and relatable to see.
I just never understand why aztec players never do something other than eew.
Like you have great Champions and insane skirms with atlatl (red was missing that)
Edit: Both played insanely well with manogonels tho
This man single handedly destroyed whole T90 career.
Maciek Fedorowiat courier*
Probably not, one channel is not enough to destroy a ship
T90's low legends are hilarious.
@@caiohuerta They are but he does so much of it, I'm starting to lose interest , there's no variety, it's either LEL or MbL games
@@nostalgicdouchebag1912 agreed
Please keep making more spectator videos like this. Very entertaining.
It's been 2 years since this came out. Just came back and watched this. It honestly makes me want to play this game again. Because if I can't be good, at least I can be funny.
Hey Spirit of the Law, if you want to switch player's point of view while spectating the game, just hold Shift and click on a building or a unit of the desired player instead of going through the menu ;)
You and T90 should cast the tournaments, that would be epic!
Please do more of these. I find you a lot more relaxing to listen to than T90.
Loved it. Please continue making more of these
haven't played myself since early 2009 outside of against the AI, back then in LAN 3v3 or 4v4 during Boarding School, and these crazy matches that took forever and went back and forth were always the most enjoyable ones. so much so, after we finished one of the 3h+ games, we tended to rewatch the replay immediatedely to see all the stuff going xD
"The nose with the glasses -- maybe that's why it's called hideout" 😂 Maybe that's why SOTL2020
Hey man Great Job. Love to se you are casting matches now. Cant wait for the next one. Hilarious game
Very entertaining and exciting,
The balance between offense and defense was sooo accurate, holding strategic positions, this game was aweeesssome!
When did T90 get such a deep, sexy voice?
😳
This barrack! never going down XD I think it did a lot by having a point midmap where to replenish your troops during the late part of the game
Keep it up.
I'll definitely watch more Spirit Casting!
Your reactions are so calm for being a commentary, like these events would be no big deal. :P
As a Japanese player I laughed so hard. If only he had just invested into champions instead of Samurai and towers instead of castles... this would've ended so much faster ='D
I think we’ve all been through that phase where we think spamming UU and castles is the best strat ever lol
@@TheArcher143 playing persians to build mass farms all for those elephants... massive, unstoppable Elephant army coming the enemies way... wait, what is that sound? Wololo ??
꧁Mike Sully꧂ Seems about right
Making samurai precludes the Aztec player making Jags, though.
I think the Aztec player should've invested more in champions, they're created a lot faster and trade more favorably with japanese swordsmen and samurai.
Just making arbs would've worked as well. The japanese player might then feel forced into skirms or cavalry. Aztec skirms are better, and Japanese cavalry isn't super great against archers.
@@urabraskthedeplorable725 Yeah, Aztecs should win hard obviously. Never make Eagles against a civ with great champions. Also, there's very little gold on Hideout so never go for an eagle comp. He should've gone for onagers + arbalests/skirmishers. Nothing Japanese can do.
One of the most ridiculous games I've ever seen, and I must say after a whole day of playing super bad, losing, tilting etc. seeing the level of these guys did really well to my morale, so thanks :)
I love this. Pls continue doing this content
Looking forward for you to do commentary on high level games! Love the videos!
This was way too funny, after watching super high elo play from viper or hera this was just silly and funny.
Not going to lie, I saw this in my feed and thought it was a T90 video. I clicked on it and heard SoTL and went with it. Nice video man
good game and fun to watch keep up the good work spirit
Amazing game. Would love to see more like this. I know commentary is not your "thing" but I just love hearing you talk about AoE in any shape or form. :)
Red could have won. Should have attacked at 14:40 when had all his military standing around. And 19:30 when he chopped through the woodline he should have dropped a castle right there.
*I like ur commentary better than T90, he screams too much for my liking... you explain things more calmly in a more data-focused manner.*
Not to cause a war between both or anything... but yeah... i like you more as comentary
can't wait for your another low elo series. I like your casting better because you did not bully the player, a bit chuckle doesn't matter, but you give calm commentary and better explanation on how to be better player.
I'm getting withdrawal symptom from the lack of low elo games from T90' lately so THANK YOU
