AOE2:DE | The Art of War Challenges | #5 Defending Against a Rush

[@luminica_]

Going from Silver to Gold in such a short amount of time, this guy has potential to be one of the best!

[@ahuzel]

LOL

[@PillowWillow007]

I see you aren't well versed in AoE II.

[@thesnackbandit]

Timo Murd I see you aren’t well versed in humour...

[@bobxyzp]

The video always crashes for me in these tutorials so thank you for making these!

[@NuminorChanel]

It's so delightful to see him grow on me. I believe that he will be a decent AoE2 player.

[@teddyhaines6613]

One day, he may even be as good as Philster.

[@matthewmcneany]

I know viper is doing this for the memes but Art of War is a really neat feature that shows the care and heart that has gone into DE, and that the ultimate goal of the re-release is to grow the community and have more players playing at a higher level.

[@cezarstefanseghjucan]

For me, this is the best added feature of the game. We need more of this, because most of us are under the impression that we know something, yet there is a threshold that most of us aren't able to achieve, thence an optimal mean level of performance is to be encouraged for the AoE II community. I found the gold challenges very difficult and very hit and miss. My timing is rather bad. However, I will exercise until I learn the optimal steps by heart, so that I may hold hope of a win.

[@matthewmcneany]

​@@cezarstefanseghjucan The training missions are good but there's no substitute for no holds barred 1v1. Hopefully there'll be enough players so anyone can play regardless of skill.

[@Jartran72]

I am sure those are all Sun Tzu quotes -Sun Tzu

[@HECKproductions]

you shall believe everything that it says on the internet - sun tzu, 500BCE

[@sogomn]

Damn I think you might be ready for an online match now

[@sayaksengupta4335]

Yeah, he might be... But his opponent might not be ready for him

[@adityapawar1428]

There is nothing to feel bad about winning a silver medal Viper.

[@philtanics1082]

2nd place is just the first loser.

[@GummieI]

I honestly find the silver medal pretties than the gold tbh

[@PhillKaggitz]

I'm sure that if he keeps practicing he can become a good AoE2 player

[@agilby1512]

Glad to see he got golds. Especially when he is clearly new.

[@MALEMization]

Y'know what I propose?! Grubby vs TheViper! The Warcraft III World Champion vs The AOE2 World Champion in a 3 Round Match: 1st Match Warcraft III Reforged, 2nd Match AOE 2: DE and 3rd Match: A chosen RTS game by both fans of Grubby and Viper! Just to celebrate the remake of two of the most gorgeous RTSes of our childhood!

[@StaffRecordPlayer]

Id pay for this

[@Leon.Stanic]

Nice prediction

[@MALEMization]

@@Leon.Stanic Finally!!!! After 2 years, someone sees this!

[@Leon.Stanic]

@@MALEMization Lmao! It was bound to happen with me watching Vipey's comfy videos before sleep.

[@TheFrankoalberto]

I hope they add more in the future, like basic start and build order for water maps and nomad. And basic strategies like knight rush, double archery or sling as a pocket.

[@Daplin1]

Him: this ones also pretty ez Me: here because I suk

[@BlueFlash215]

If you double wall somehow the AI completely stops working. I did palisade+stone wall behind at the southeast spot and they piled up in masses without attacking

[@latskap2k]

25 stone, could actually close choke where the men at arms attacked with stone wall ^^

[@sergejmiladinovic1181]

If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained, you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle. ... ... ... ... ... *I STAND ALONE AND GAZE UPON THE BATTLEFIELD!*

[@fantasyfootballhq9842]

BBQ Turkman: "Hmmm... struggles", and made it a point to lower the dif. level for this challenge. Can't believe i'm saying this but the Viper regression is at a faster rate than I had expected!

[@yossishemaria2197]

I heard that the lord achieved diamond medal on each of the challenges.

Viper waited for the press release to end to publish his challenge videos. Every other channel has already release all the contents about aoe2 de. When people are craving for the new content, viper is there to answer all the needs. Such a sneaky snake.

[@stefanfelssner]

Judging from the title, i nearly thought this would be a kind of viper coaches / viper tips and tricks.

[@ghost_curse]

Remember: no rushin'.

[@cain6981]

I'm slowly getting some hotkeys down.. but how do you just instantly get the screen onto one of your numbered units? I.e. instantly getting the screen to your scout as he explores the map

[@Michal235]

Hey Viper, have you ever played GoT scenario of Locodon? If so, was it uploaded anywhere (youtube/steam)? If not, will you play it one day, maybe when it will be avaiable on DE? :)

[@romgir4454]

+1

[@narar5991]

Viper playing Art of War is like Joey attending English classes

[@longnaps-cubedesign]

Really looking forward to you playing the new campaigns! :)

[@gibranhenriquedesouza2843]

What are the civs in these scenarios? I heard the chinese and teuton sounds but I did not recognise their symbols in the user's bar.

[@josephdouglas5242]

Man, this guy sure did like to blame the game for getting silver. If you look at the top competitors in any area, they always take responsibility for their own failures. I hope this guy can learn that lesson, and maybe be a top competitor one day.

[@jeffbanks9955]

See, i find this style of gameplay very stressful and not enjoyable at all. I prefer to take my time and build at my own pace.

[@DangerDucking]

I feel for the silver...I too clicked castle with two seconds left and it took the game like 4 seconds to register :(

[@cezarstefanseghjucan]

The challenges should be done easily, within at least 15 seconds of tolerance. Thou must strive until thou reach that threshold. It is not easy, but you are becoming a good player at the end of the day. Their addition is a stroke of genius. The community needs more.

[@SatyaVenugopal]

Could you upload the redos of those silver missions? Edit: I feel dumb now. MShepherd88 rightly pointed out in a comment below that Viper does exactly that later in the video.

[@MShepherd88]

Keep watching the video, they're in the second half of this video

[@SatyaVenugopal]

@@MShepherd88 Oh, thanks! Okay, now I feel silly. I didn't even realise I stopped watching the video when there was a good 11 minutes left to it.

[@MShepherd88]

@@SatyaVenugopal Haha no problem! I was about to stop the video too and then I was really happy that he re-tried those tutorials. I wanted to see him earn those golds as well.

[@PauxloE]

Don't forget you can queue the age research in your TCs, so you don't need to click manually in the right second. Or was this disabled in this challenge?

[@AdamAmbrus]

the icon in these scenarios doesn't show until you fulfill the objectives

[@PhilBushay]

Sometimes you gotta run before you walk. Silver to Gold EZPZ.

[@Sussurrus]

They should make it more difficult and guide on using buildings to create walls and suggest to repair walls or replace with building when about to go down. Also inform that building a bunch of walls is often a waste of vil time and resources.

[@Housestationlive]

i was looking for "empire ii art of war", i found thing and purchased the game... glad it was a free abandonware, cause i diddn't saw the "AOE"

[@AdamAmbrus]

damn you make it look so easy :'D gonna try again

[@FSUFAN-gr2vp]

I tried this scenario on 09-02-23 and I was given the Byzantines as a starting Civ....? I wish I could have gone with the Koreans!

[@noelromain2362]

What platform you stream on ?

[@gregbro2636]

mixer

[@huri9946]

You edited out a pause! Is the current situation affecting your head?

[@germanpereira4567]

Wow, Gold medal. You seem to be a very good player, have you ever considered playing professionally?

[@simont.2145]

Finally a golden boy :D

[@Turkishmath]

Rip, video card is on the way out

[@ryannayr140]

Great job mr. Turkman

[@carlospallete3030]

You and top 4 other pro's should each make 1 Art Of War Mission each as well, how could would that be to have that enshrined in the game for multiplayer purposes that we can all actually use

[@alperenkumcu]

need to watch at 0.5x to understand

[@badassbassist]

Dont you think playing these tutorials is like a overkill for a player of your strature...? Probably you are one of the players whose playing actually inspired AoE to bring up these strategies....it's great to see you execute them flawlessly....

[@BlueFlash215]

It is great to see how the best player in the world is dealing with them. I thought I was slow with my gold but seeing Viper's times makes me feel more comfortable. It's also a great feedback for the developers5

[@ADCFproductions]

this guy is a bit of a noob but at least he's funny

[@jeihun.m]

WE NEED IRON!!! Look is good, but why not add resource iron?... It is very important element and it riches tactical variability in the strategic games!

[@johnapple6646]

Viper is still new

[@JackIsNotInTheBox]

For the life of me, I cannot get a single gold, wtf...

[@BlueFlash215]

Which one are you struggling with?

[@ivancarrillonicolas5861]

14

[@jaimie3818]

New challenge: get gold in all challenges using only one hand. Shoorely that's no problem for a PRO STREAMER right Bipee?

[@XfStef]

@17:23 Ok boomer!

[@can_uysal]

2:10 dude doesn't know about the future of goths tbh.

[@ryannayr140]

advanced to castle age with 23 vills LUL

[@althaz]

Australian voiceover wtf?

[@a2pabmb2]

> Screws self over by being cocky > Blames game Ok Boomer.

[@thearianrobben]

give more cuman pls

[@foundedking6864]

DE seems to be melting your cpu thats why you have strange graphic problems. Turn off the computer every night if you would play it every day, with high cpu usages. If you don't, then the graphic problems and frame drops will stay and get worse over the months, and not leave until you leave it off for a while.

[@omarfaruque1095]

'Not up to date on these kids' memes anymore' - Viper Me- Ok boomer!

[@haramaschabrasir8662]

The "ok, boomer" meme is basically a political meme to delegitimate the baby boomer generation, people which are born in the 50ies and 60ies. They fucked up many things in the past and are now trying to down-talk younger people and think that younger generations are not able to handle their lives. The prime example of a boomer votes conservative and believes hoaxes and fake news on social media and doesn't get the current generation's humour but still arrogantly thinks he/she is superior to younger generations. The meme's origin explained: eu.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2019/10/31/why-gen-z-millennials-using-ok-boomer-baby-boomers/4107782002/

[@ryannayr140]

"OK boomer" is a condescending response to older people (post ww2 baby boomers) that read or write articles about how millennial are ruining things. While in reality they had it way easier than we did because Europe was still rebuilding from WW2

[@beganfish]

They also didnt have nearly as advanced medicine or technology. They still probably had it worse overall.

[@ryannayr140]

Things are much better on many metrics such as number of bedrooms per house. However schools are much harder to get into and the manufacturing industry has shrunk dramatically.

[@skidadle3071]

Viper I’m a broke boy can u buy AOE2 DE for me :)

[@thebonfireofgains]

Same

[@bedirhandilen]

2 because he spends his all money for buying beautiful flowers for Debbie,what a gentleman this silver boy is.

[@skidadle3071]

@Ulf Knudsen huh xD
