im glad Ensemble Studios were true to the game's historic roots and made mongol cars the fastest
Ethiopian explosive ammo cobras sound like a terrifying experience
@@Rockinintomordor imagine whit the 256x tech.
>Asian drivers
they didn't do anything. In programming you can have a parent class which passes it's properties to it's children classes. In this case car class inherits properties of a siege unit, which gets the bonus from it's nation. It all happened automatically by making it type siege unit.
@@SpaceMarine113 you misspelled "Legolas". there's an "o" in there bud.
A silly topic but a serious analysis. This is April Fool's done right.
>makes a joke video for april fools.
>keeps it informative and interesting
Spirit of the Law ladies and gentlemen.
Exactly!
Yeah, there are some maps like Overlords where it might actually be useful to know how to deal with Cobra Cars.
@@samiamrg7 Very, very true. Ateast T90 uses the Cobra Cars "sparingly."
Yup
I subscribed just for it
this reminds me when I played AoE2 (from a cd on the side of a nutri grain cereal box) and I cheated in 30 convertibles and the enemy started to convert them to my horror
:(
:(
Came here to say that... Monks had been cheated as well to get more HP and be faster. No matter how many I created, they converted them all. Nightmare.
should have done an accelerated backhop with the convertibles away from the monks
didnt ask tbh
It's hard to find a cost-effective counter for a unit that costs 0W 0F 0G 0S.
and if I remember correctly they aren't even affected by supply limit so outnumber them isn't an option either, and I think you can store the cheat in ctrl+v so good luck counter a continuous stream of cobras. Also they are extremely fast so if you bring your army to stop them they just run to the other side of your city and destroy everything there. To stop them you also need to use cheats, if the opponent aren't kind hearted
@@jonnypista52 I r winner
This comment was so good, I unliked it just so I could like it again.
Black Death and boom!
No more Cobras.
@@jonnypista52 MAC - Mutually Assured Cheating.
If you think I'm not gonna watch this video just because I realize it's april fools.
You're goddamn wrong.
wrr
My brother has been using cobra cars forever and I could never beat him. My mom says to let him win because he’s “mentally handicapped” and “we don’t know how he’d react” but I’m about to absolutely destroy him. Thanks SOTL! This next one goes out to you!
yo wtf
I-
Go get him
lol.
This is dark af
I feel like when they made this unit, they looked at resistance to monks and somone went, "NAH BRO...they are "convertibles!"
(Laughs in Heresy)
This joke is SO specific. Good for you.
That was good lol
You are way ahead of time. Talking about the Dababy meme. Idl
Realize the enemy are making Cobra cars because the "cheats" button was checked..
*"I R WINNER"*
That doesn't work on multiplayer tough?
@@imransuleymaneraslan2797 yes
Only best way of dealing with Cobra is to beat them back by Cobra of your own (Cheats are on for both/all players) Monks are good but no humans can micro that good against a group of cobras. Basically Diamond cuts Diamonds...
or torpedo* if you have just one of many player to counter ;)
"black death" is also an option
That credits scene with the cobra riding in style is just fantastic.
The very first game of AOEII I ever played back in 2000 was with a friend who had two PCs with a LAN connection. It was the first RTS game I had every played and I was having a jolly ol' time in the fedual age making farms and stuff when he sends 30 cobra cars to my based and annihilates everything.
That was my introduction to AOEII, and even after 19 years I'm still addicted.
That's beautiful. Your friend sounds like a huge troll. Good friend
Mah man
This is why I'm still subbed to you despite having never played Age of Empires in my entire life.
Why have you never played age of empires though?
@@randomelk9801 An even better question than the one addressed in the video.
@@randomelk9801 I was unable to get a copy of it as a kid and the adult me doesn't have the time to pick up a new game right now. Planning to get it once I'm not as busy anymore
@@arinsugu1008 it was on sale on steam a few days ago, not sure about now. totally worth it!
@@arinsugu1008 play it now! Unless you're a doctor, of course
How do you turn this off?
LOL
LMAO

I feel like not enough of the video was dedicated to faction bonuses affecting Cobras
3:59: That outro is absolutely stunning!
Pikeman jumps into the Cobra Car lol

A beautiful scene.

Cobra: exists
Every troop: why do i hear boss music
Monks: Am I a joke to you?
Converts or heresy on cobra.*
How to fight Cobra Cars, or How to turn this off
I'd ask your girlfriend. I'm kidding!
Ayyy that would actually be a better alt title.
Spirit lost a big chance
I already liked this comment, but it was so good, I un-liked just so I could like it again.
Sorry but you forgot the most effective counter: SUPREMACY!
*HEYAHEYAHEY!* *EXPLOSION*
*flamenco flourish*
"Heyaheyahey" makes me think of the song Vojnik Srece 11
Why wasnt that in the video, smh
Best count .... you just kill everyone with THE cheat.

Spirit of the law: how to beat cobra cars!
believe it or not, I had this exact question in my mind for a couple weeks!
@@DonVigaDeFierro Archers
@@divaldorocha7837 Specially The Chu ko Nu
@@divaldorocha7837 Cobra cars are better
Cobra cars are in an intense sexual relationship with petards.
Instructions unclear, got my villagers stuck in a fan.
Air filters clogged. Auto repair bill too high. Cobra car disabled.
Is a female villager also stuck in the washing machine?
The title should've been
"How do you turn this off"
He missed on a good chance
obviously you get cobra cars of your own as a counter.
TORPEDO#
That's the joke
What if your dysgraphia puts a -50% penalty on your cheat-writing capabilities?
Faster fingers win
@@shinkiro403 shift+home selects the text in the charbar. ctrl+c is the keyboard shortcut to copy. Ctrl+v is the shortcut to paste. Enter, ctrl+v, enter gives you a cobra car every .5 seconds and ignores population caps. Set your TC rally point to their TC and just keep pasting.
The attack is 10 melee, not pierce. You can verify by attacking rams, which will suffer 13 or so damage.
Edit: I even checked the game files.
Now, as such, Teutonic Knights and Boyars should be preferred over Huskarls or Tarkans.
Even though this was April Fool's, it was still informative in the normal Spirit of the Law fashion.
So this means we have to wait until April Fool's 2020 for Furious the Monkey Boy unit overview, or Alfred the Alpaca, the Penguins, Sabouteurs or VMDL!?
The trick with saboteurs is to mix them in with regular petards; That way if the host doesn't realize cheats are on they'll think you're just getting lucky shots in and won't know until after you've already whittled their defenses down.
As for Alfred the Alpaca: free scouting and best used on maps that have llamas on them, although the attack does tend to give it away.
@@25JamesC anyone with a good eye can see the saboteur from a petard though
The accuracy issue is why I switched to using Alfred the Alpaca. Great damage an area of effect, decently fast attack speed, running speed not quite as good as the Cobra, but plenty of armour.
Oh the puns! Couldn'tya put the brakes on 'em, just once? Please?
What about José, the by your intro immortalized famous Supremacy Spanish villager? Hayeeeeeeeleleleye!
I am a simple man. Spirit of the Law uploads a video, i like it.
it's basically the plot of "Terminator Salvation (4)": an unstoppable enemy, guerrilla warfare, a conversion [ ;D ] and the Towncenter explosion.
But.. But..
What about that Spanish villager with Supremacy??
;)
That's the obvious answer. Spirit is here to answer the tough questions!
@John Gradwell quite an unfortunate abbreviation there ;)
not sure if it's Aprils fools if the video itself is actually useful.
It's a legit video _and_ an April Fool's episode.
I'm curious, with the 256 MOD, when do units break?
It would be helpful to know the game's limitations regarding different stats?
I'd like to see how fast cobra cars go with 256x mongols' unique tech
@@ichtyorniscretace9624 lol, at what point does it just fly off the map?
@@ichtyorniscretace9624 just look at a late stage 256x forest nothing game, the villagers basically travel instantaneously. Cobra cars probably won't get any faster than that either they'll just get to that point faster
Units break when they reach 32728 HP.
@@felixloewenich2202 okay, now I'm imagining a race between cobra cars and villagers.
I loved the ending so much with the music and the road trip !
Joke aside, didn't know there was such a variety of cobra cars in aoe2. Thought they were all the same no matter the civ
"They are convertible, no not that way"😂 (shows a picture of convertible Shelby). Really enjoy such subtle humour!
Monks. AI once stole my cobra car with monks.
they also control them a lot better
This is how self-driving cars were invented!
Unless you got Heresy, and that activates the car's built in self-destruct mechanism.
@@Themultiroleman Always get heresy if you're going to spawn cobra cars. Better safe than sorry.
I spawned them once without heresy, never again (I hope).
The best way to counter the cobra is to bring your Lamborghini and laugh at their small bank accounts.
Man I love your passion for this game. I saw your channel quite a while ago maybe months. There you did an analysis on how the village centre arrow valley can be escaped by going perpendicular to it.
The detail man, the detail. Absolute mad lad !
The ending is genuinely awesome, well done
Just realised that in my 20 years of playing this masterpiece I'd never ever seen Cobra cars that werent blue.
The Teal version looks cool af
They are colored as the player in the HD version. In the original game they were always blue.
@@ScientistDog Neat! Never knew!
When I was a child I played a lot of AoE and always created armies of big daddys, but I always made sure to make my opponents Babylon and send a big daddy into their base, so they could square off against mine^^
1:31 Celts +200% HP! Well done!
that footage at the end, this is what I like the most in your videos. these subtle perfect things make the whole feel professional.
500hp... good one! The Celts must have to supercharged version with 200hp more...
Well, Godsmack has 1000 hp \^^/
But seriously, this professional approach to such thing is both cracking up and worth of appreciation. Top quality as ever, thanks SOTL for your effort!
Next video : which civ has the best Cobra Cars ?
Oh my goodness the outro made me laugh and smile a lot simultaneously, love it!!
The ending is quite epic. Rewatching this video worths it
"When the opponent ask the game the legendary question..."
Dang!
My way of dealing with em
Using Spanish vills with supremacy...

Normal youtubers: some random bullshit and a "hahaha"
our beloved spiritofthelaw: actual good information, fun to watch video, calming voice, wholesomeness
That outro! Driving off into the sunset. Class!!!
Hey! I didn't realize I was here a year ago.
This is the best channel on TH-cam.
You forgot the best method: one-hitting it with a spanish supremacy villager.
HEYAHEAAAYEHAEAAAH
what if you're the portuguese? our villagers were just as good! :C
Diogo Pereira they're called little Spain for a reason after all :)
@@sayanorasonic Who calls us that???
This is the first video you made which I felt like I know that already. Mean this channel is insanely great! Happy April fools.
That outro was... incredible
torsion engine cobras.... my god..

Use Dodge Viper.
Or a Ram

Brilliant.
OMG this is be the most useful AOE2 video on TH-cam IMO!
I was PRAYING for such an ending. Thank you!

Buff them please :D
Research supremacy 14 more times, pleb

this is like one of those "which sword to use in a zombie apocalypse". Can't use the knowledge to anything yet you feel prepared just in case
This feels like such a funky (and kinda troll) vid. But for some reason I really did enjoy it, especially "how do you turn this on" and that ending credits music 😂
This was an actually "legit and funny" aprils fool video, thank you Spirit
WHO WANT TO SEE VIPER TAKE ON A HUMAN USING COBRA CARS!!!!
This video is lovely, but that outro is phenomenal!!
Dat outro though! Does this mean, Spirit sees himself as a pointy boy? Getting into that hot rod and sailing into the sunsets! Awesome stuff sir! Thanks!
...Or just make Cobra car from your town center to counter them back.
I suspect this car was invented because the programmers don't wanted to start a match again to test enemies army, so, you just kill their squads and wait for another wave.
Absolutely loved that outro! It could easily be a keeper
Loved the Route 66 at the end
"They are convertible" Lmao
Top 10 most overpowered anime characters
I love the end shot of getting in the car and driving away across the desert. :) I'd be interested in knowing how you got it to drive right off the edge of the map, though.
that was absolutely the sickest aoe cutscene i've ever seen
*Is this an April fool's joke?* 🤭🤭
Cobra Cars are too serious of a threat to be just some April fool's joke

best way?
torpedo X
i r winner would like to have a word with you
You troglodytes have never used wimpywimpywimpy. Most effiicient counter to having the stress of ending a game.
Wouldnt Spanish villager with supremacy just one shot them?
was thinking the same thing XD
The end was incredible, very nice hahahahaha
Beeing so serious is a gift. You are using it perfectly!
Love the music at the end
I love how you finished the vid with the car riding off to the horizon
(also drill + cobra was beautiful to watch)
I like the western back-roads road trip outro there, very nice. ;)
'You need to fight fire with fire' I expected the Photon Man was about to come out.
Good to see a video about that aoe2 car cheat unit that is also available in the editor.
Finally, I can play AoE2 again now
The best video in this channel's history.
Loved the ending shot! Great vid!
I remember when I first found out about cheats in AoE2 back then, oh boi was is a super fun experience!
I heard that naval missiles are also quite effective in eliminating Cobra Cars.
This'll be real important this coming week, hope Viper is paying attention
The best outro so far...
that tarantino ending should be your permanent video closers.
The closing credits are a treat to watch with the score to go with :)
Finally, my suggestion comes to reality
I want to think this was an April fools video but really it was just a very interesting and entertaining video.
