I think it's fantastic that something like this recieves more likes and comments than a Viper game, it just goes to show that there's so much more to AoC than the competitive aspect and that even without the high level pro games there would be a huge community of people who will always love and enjoy AoC no matter what. you guys rock!

[@slikross9184]

Rematch with more relics,demolition ships and more klaymen

[@Viper00799]

These games are honestly sometimes more entertaining then a pro game. This game sure as hell was. :P I laughed so hard my abdomen was actually hurting at times.

[@jonjones916]

orange and his relic management :D awesome!

[@MetallicDolphin]

The lone soldiers live on in our hearts 😉

[@MetallicDolphin]

I'm up for a re match, I need a re match with Klay ahaha

[@TomorrowWeLive]

You're a legend for this

[@titanayrum]

Make this into a script and let Netflix make a movie of this epic game

[@Doctor-strange98]

I watch this video once a year. It's amazing.

[@Zedifo1]

"Probably not going to be too worthwhile worrying about this island, it's certainly not the focal point of the map" SheepSlaughter disagrees.

[@energymachine294]

hahaha so true

[@KingLies]

Not having fixed teams, basically a FFA and requiring diplomacy makes these games 10x more exciting to watch. 4v4s where one team is doing badly so they gg 10 minutes in gets kind of tedious. Plus with noobs you get to see all the crazy, "what the hell is he doing" moments. This was hands down the best match I've ever watched.

[@aidanverhoef4352]

"but I don't think anyone will watch this all the way through from start to finish." this is my 4th time watching

[@Nanosofty]

wow that's pretty sad :)

[@ThePistons4life]

yea..that is pretty sad

[@thor9695]

sad

[@jordanmackenzie5279]

never watched aoe2 on youtube. Literally watched from start to finish lol

[@thor9695]

Jordan Mackenzie xd

[@HaBBiSiFy]

I believe this must be the single most influential video on aoe2 history. So many players found their way back into the game because they found it was not dead with this video popping up on the recommendations, including myself.

[@legion2590]

This comment needs more votes. This is like the OG of the community games we get these days with T90 and others.

[@seanandrews5329]

nice

[@atticus6572]

"Classic Klaymen" Is the new AOE meme.

[@lobitz]

No the new meme is "GET IT TOGETHER KLAYMEN"

[@atticus6572]

Why not both.

[@lobitz]

Goldenhand the Just Because I already MADE the shitty artwork of it.

[@woeful868]

Goldenhand the Just ger

[@patrikrichter1367]

Got abit nostalgic and decided to google the AoE theme song....I found this instead. Watched every minute off it. this made me buy the game again after 15 years. I never would have thought there be a playing AoE community again . see you on the battlefeild !

[@ZeroEmpires]

Patrik Richter Hell Yeah!

[@PrimalRedemption]

Patrik Richter Microsoft just canceled it way too soon. They didn't know what they had. I think still the graphics, gameplay and strategy potential is the best ever in RTS till this day. And the sound effects and voicing- cool as f*ck

[@robertbrewer-bell3942]

"Last time I checked the anatomy of a warship, it was unable to reproduce with itself" amazing

[@BluePieNinjaTV]

Holy crap that game was unbelievable! So many highlights I am not even kidding. The relic captures, the glitched gold, the demolition boats, multi-kills, Admiral Klaymen's suicide fleet, the lonely soldier, the alliance switches, the resource hogging, the base moving. Just wow. This game was so good I think it really captured the spirit of Age of Empires. The ending though, man that was a harsh way to end, even though Castor won with a massive score, but Blade being the last active player with the highest score.

[@aimlesfez]

Hahaha Klaymen asking if anyone has seen some action while his team is getting wrecked!!

[@rogerwilco2]

+aimlesfez Yeah, I think there was a lot of poor communication there.

[@lukasg4807]

+aimlesfez LOL. I completely cracked up when i saw that

[@thyminecrafter]

+RogerWilco Or he could've just researched cartography! But who am I to question Klaymen the Legend's play, I mean he was clearly in control of that match from the Dark Age.

[@dethdad123]

+Thymine why do I get the feeling that the devs for African kingdoms watched this game and said we gotta make cartography free and researched instantly to help this idiot (not a dis on klaymen that guy made this game awesome)

[@MrNimtiz]

What time did he ask if his team were seeing any action?

[@eoin8274]

6 years later and I feel like this game was a huge moment in the growth of the AOE2 community. Salutes to Zero, and the 6 immortal legends Castor, Blade, SheepSlaughter, Metallic, SelfControl and the great Klaymen47.

[@TheManWithManyNames]

Its 2016 and I get a recommendation to watch this so I did and I loved it.

[@SaebriSelect]

lol ikr.

[@Salahudin-]

same here, watching this while installing some stuff :)

[@danm2084]

ya wtf its like all the comments are either a year+ old or 15 hours-1 month old. why does youtube do that? just goes on waves of old videos in people's recommended list. ive never played this game, idk why its in mine.

[@Amenoxiel]

Could not have said it better!

[@gigasflare]

same here. i used to play this game like 14 years ago

[@knutilse2596]

Probably one of the best games ever released.

[@alexoelkers2723]

Should check out Cossacks 3. It just released this week.

[@yarow122]

Wait, what?

[@alexoelkers2723]

***** ?

[@yarow122]

Alex Oelkers I'm just slightly excited about a third installment in the game I have yet to play. I've heard enough about the Cossacks Anthology from users on GOG.com's General Discussions board to purchase it during a sale.

[@alexoelkers2723]

***** yeah the third one basically takes the old school one and remasters it to a modern game, allowing you to command thousands of units now. Developers really don't make games like this any more.

[@ajinkyarajguru431]

Klaymen was like "is there any activity on the map ?" While Trebs are unpacking outside his base.

[@TheAgileFatman]

klaymen is love klaymen is life

[@SadeGames]

1:09 the Legend Begins

[@CarlosRamirez-ns7qw]

I found this surprisingly entertaining, I literally watched it all.

[@Juan-jb1wj]

same! I started out estranged, but was hooked not too far along and the commentary just kept me engaged the whole way... eventually I really wanted to see how it all panned out! :D

[@ZeroneDY]

Selfcontrol: WHERED U GET GOLD??? Castor: muhahahah Me: *Dies laughing* dunno, just thought that was so funny

[@Viper00799]

***** Castor. I gotta say this, you are one tough son of a bitch. :P Your own friend Blade betrayed you, eradicated you from your town, you rebuild in the OPPOSITE corner of the map and actually seem to take the game. That is insane dude. :P My respect to you for sure. :) The number one rule: Never give up! Never surrender!

[@XTwoStepsToHellX]

Castor and Klaymon...The peoples heros

[@Viper00799]

XTwoStepsToHellX Klaymen, not Klaymon dude. :P

[@XTwoStepsToHellX]

Viper00799 Klaymon sounds cooler for me :P :() :I :R

[@XTwoStepsToHellX]

Viper00799 damn did not see how old ur comment was...i think im blind for missing that comment btw u the one and only?

[@khatack]

aahahahaha, this match was entirely worth the 2 hours I wasted on the vid xD

[@ZeroEmpires]

khatack Time that you enjoy wasting is not time wasted!

[@khatack]

ZeroEmpires - Age of Empires 2 I think that's debatable, but I see your point :)

[@lijger1]

khatack saw it two times now. Best game ever played!!!

[@akhasshativeritsol1950]

[@enZinaty]

khatack 30 minutes in! So far so good :D

[@TerryWong12345]

I'm a student studying international relations (IR) theory and I'm quite excited to see how IR theories actually apply in this game perfectly. Realism says anarchy is here to stay, there is no world police so states have to rely, mostly, on themselves, this is also named as the self-help system which will also generate what's called "security dilemma" that suggests one state's being more secured will necessarily render other states being less secured. States, under this self-help system, will do Internal balancing and External balancing to maximize their security and power. Internal balancing is to build up your internal power while External balancing is to form alliances (mostly not lasting long) to boost one's resources and capabilities. A bipolar system is the most stable and the tripolar system is always the least. A bipolar system, for example, is when the game begins they form a 3v3 group competition, this is more stable because states will have less incentives to switch sides (given that 1 island houses 3 players, they gotta be united) to maintain the balance; A tripolar system is when the other 3 players are eliminated and the remaining 3 players will most likely form a 2v1 alliance to eliminate the under-dog; a bipolar system will emerge again when there is only 2 remaining players. The shadow of the future also plays in the part here. In this game, for instance, people will naturally expect you to form alliance with the peers in the same island. If you were to switch sides to betray your allies, forming a 2v4 where the betrayer is on the 4 side, you are in trouble because other players will think of you as a betrayer, which will weaken the betrayer's future survival ability because the incentives to forming alliance with the betrayer would be much less. This, however, does not apply to the game here because they would not meet each other again after three hours and there were no other players except the six of them. Forgive me for skipping the conclusion btw wth am i doing here: Doing an essay midterm on YT which I was supposed to watch sth rather than write sth??

[@goose3692]

Klaymen is so shit at the game, but damn is he a legend.

[@TheRagiword]

+Canadian_Goose I don't get why he is a legend, sorry i am back to AOE from years, To me he was the worst player of this game

[@goose3692]

Watch the chat. He is very funny till the end

[@55GamePlayer]

+Canadian_Goose He also had that one legendary dock that allowed Castor to trade and make the epic turn around. If that dock wasn't there, blade would have won without question.

[@Rooke1000]

+Canadian_Goose I just died watching klaymen and listening to Zero comments. Btw, is Castor (yellow) from Québec ? Is name mean beaver in french. Just woundering...

[@user-oy3ri8id8f]

+TheRagiword You dont have any friends, do you

[@Dreamprince23]

48:30. Zero: "In come the demolition ships! This can be huge! Detonate, detonate! Oh my god look at that! and again...! OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH CASTOR... OHHHHH YES CASTOR...."

[@GoldieMethrans]

Quotes. Get it in there XD

[@tofuchicken2]

thats what he said

[@OssimTV]

Okay okay, 6 months later, here I am watching this again. It never gets old. My all time favorite aoe2 vid.

[@ArravTwitch]

Klayman actually is the reason that Castor managed to get back into the game, because of the dock, so that Castor could get gold.

[@pekkalaitinen8769]

I can't fucking believe I watched through the entirety of this mess! Fucking Clayman and his mangonels Top 3 moments: 3: Castor making a comeback after getting leveled completely 2: SheepSlaughter building the third monastery on that island with relics, ROFL 1: Clayman's plan to repopulate the world with one villager - gets taken down immediately by yellow Galleon. "...Shit" lulz

[@CareBearLoveU19]

the sound of that battle horn combined with the "yooooo" sound when someone dies wakes up a lot of memories and nostalgia!

[@MasterChef306]

I should probably note, this is the top result for "Age of Empires 2 game with the most backstabbing". This was really glorious to watch. The slow buildup, the battle of Relic Island, slowly realizing as the game wears on that Castor's empire is ACTUALLY being rebuilt while everyone ignores him... just perfect.

[@iamignaz1153]

1:41:36 "I doubt anyone is ever gonna watch this through from start to finish. That would be a little bit insane." Almost 2 million views later... Btw: This is actually the 3rd time I've watched this chaotic game. And I still find it very entertaining.

[@ashwinramaswamy4059]

Lol same, I think it's either my third or fourth time. I don't even play AoE online, I just used to play the shit out of the demo version as a kid

[@as-ng5ln]

this is one of the most iconic games that has ever been played on AoE2

[@patrickreynolds6270]

I can't believe how entertaining this was LOL! More satisfying than a lot of hollywood movies. I just can't believe sheepslaughter didn't pull off the relic victory!!! He had like 30,000 wood and 2,500 gold he coulda made docks all around the island and spawned demo ships. that woulda been sooooo epic!

[@thehybrid26]

When Klaymen's last villager died......i was on the floor laughing

[@ahmadkhatib3117]

This popped back in my feed, this is some of your best work.

[@MisoSoup247]

Damn this was an epic video from start to finish though it was an anticlimactic ending but still awesome video! My very favorite parts are: -Klaymen near the beginning having no idea what's going on... or did he? -Sheepslaughter and Klaymens last stand on the little island fortress -Metallics last unit, the two handed swordsman just wandering around the world. -"Will Klaymen find a way for his Galleons to reproduce?" xD -And your love for the demolition ships haha

[@lukasg4807]

+MisoSoup247 You forgot the betrayals and that castor!

[@shoukatsukai]

I feel like SelfControl was the only one trying to have a normal game lmao

[@khaledabdulkarimful]

BlitzTaifun / DragonScales you do realize your replying to a comment made three years ago,right ?

[@shoukatsukai]

So what is the problem

[@TechXMarine]

More noob games It's so unpredictable, With pro games it almost turns into check list right up until imperial. These games are amazing because you never know what's going to happen.

[@johnhanni9988]

Our dear lord Castor, Forgive us our trespasses and give us your spare gold, Lead us not into SelfControl but deliver us from Blade. Send onto us your minister Klayman, To give us your holy teachings and save the SheepSlaughter, Let us all trade with ships and spare dolphins though metal they may be, Amen.

[@castor-ageofempires8001]

Amen.

[@Jokervision744]

I found a great video here. I don't play strategy games,but I love to play around with them, and see others do that too.

[@metallicdolphin583]

Well... Would you look at that, I feel the time is near, a 'ZeroEmpire Christmas Special' consisting of a re match of myself and the others from this game. Let's get this thing going people! ^•^

[@dethdad123]

Maybe rematch needs to happen someone needs to get on that

[@almash329]

GG Metallic damn i supported your team throughout the game

[@ghoibsg1356]

hands down greatest game ever, klayman shall live on in our dreams

[@MrMysterioso]

That was insane. Im gonna imagine a Game of Thrones parallel to this because it was fucking amazing. Starting with Castor, he was clearly the Starks, the hero we were all rooting for, and having been scattered over the map to rebuild. Next is Blade, the Boltons. (Could also be Freys, but he became to strong to be such a shit family). He made a despicable move and betrayed Castor early with the selfish aim of eliminating the strongest player. In doing so he eliminated his chance of winning. Because of Selfcontrol, the Lannisters. The powerhouse of the west with only shit teams to help him at the start. He kept making alliances and breaking them as Lannisters do. But he kept himself strong and did what was needed to survive. Then comes SheepSlaughter, the Baratheons (Stannis). Relatively weak at the start, and relying on the Lord of Light to take him to victory. No-one cared for him till he made a claim to victory. Then he got crushed at the coast. Next we have MetallicDolphin. They follow none other than Beric Dondarrion. Were strong early on, but later in the game were very few in number and mostly insignificant. And Dondarrion, the immortal, remained alive even at the end on this side of justice. Lastly, we have the legend. Klaymen47. I was unsure on what family to make him. Is he a Greyjoy because of his immortal fleet and sneaky alliances? Is he a Martell as he appears weak but actually has a grand master plan. Is he a Tully, crushed by the Lannisters and now helping the Starks to victory? Lol in the end im glad Castor ended up where he did. In my eyes he won. Blade turning on him so early with no warning while he was being crushed by Selfcontrol on the other side was cruel :)

[@Alaron251]

What an epic game. Castor is such a hero for beating back Blade The Great Betrayer.

[@Kabouter911]

Ive got no idea how i ended up here

[@ellmatic]

I am really enjoying this video and think you add a lot to it with your commentary. It's like watching a professional sports broadcast. I'm learning a ton about strategy by listening and watching. So great!

[@TerminatorTanish]

THAT WAS THE WORST ENDING EVER WHY WHY WHY JUST WHY

[@SadeGames]

Green not building a dock at the start was a bit silly, but after 1 and a half hours you'd think he'd throw one down at least

[@Tonystarkes888]

i watched this from start to finish.

[@GojiraTX]

Yo me too. That fucking ending though...

[@D4rkPot4to]

Why is this not part of the epic series, this was awesome

[@TheReaMrBurntSausage]

did anyone else play age of empires like sims except a whole country when you were a kid?

[@EarFarce4]

I did when I first bought it. I opened up a random and took my time leisurely making a nice town..... I ended up being annihilated by one sneaky mangonel...

[@ReDAleRtO1O]

+Unique and Hilarious Username It was the first thing i ever did gaming related :D

[@porteurliste]

"I don't think anyone would ever watch this whole thing thrue" Almost a million views later :D

[@tFighterPilot]

How many of which watched the whole thing?

[@justincase4011]

I did!

[@porteurliste]

I sure did aswell

[@Jipbob]

In the statistics of the video it says the average viewer watched 11 mins :(

[@tFighterPilot]

Not the average viewer, the average view duration. To get the average viewer, you'd do better with the median view duration, which is probably much lower.

[@orkayz6808]

RIP KLAYMAN YOU WILL BE REMEMBERED

BRING THEM BACK TOGETHER IN ANOTHER VID PLZ

[@Teheleri]

Take a shot every time he says "fast castle". Dead by the 15th minute mark.

[@boothefool3256]

how the hell do you talk nonstop over a nearly 2 hour video?

[@JamesUnderscoreZero]

Talent?

[@bobrickleson2087]

lol how do sports casters talk for 4 hours about a game? Because hes just stating what is going on you jizz lover. He knows the geeky shit that is going on and he narrates it. But hey you seem like a guy who is easily amused, you should check out the new upcoming TV series "Designated Survivor" starring Keefer Souderlawnd, it premieres Wednesday at 10 p.m. EDT.!!!!!

[@fartloudYT]

drugs

[@lazaruslong697]

I dont know how about casting the game, but drugs surely help me to keep attention over a 2 hr video :D

[@anSealgair]

Try Jolt Cola! Twice the caffeine of regular cola

[@KILLKIDspeedrun]

Castor putting the Area of Effect in AoE.

[@wesselstienstra7020]

We demand a rematch!

[@ContentNot]

+Wessel Stienstra hehe natuurlijk heb jij hier comments :) dude, ik ben me ziek aan het voorbereiden voor onze clash!

[@wesselstienstra7020]

[@ContentNot]

Wessel Stienstra trust me, ik ga niet winnen. Maar ik ben letterlijk nu bezig met kijken

[@adielmoralesburgos]

This has been an emotional roller coaster.... the build up, the betrayals, unlikely allies form and a legend was born... what a game

[@BlatendCrude]

I used to love games like this before I got my porn addiction.

lol

[@WhiteVampire888]

Havent played or even seen a game of AoE ever in my life, but this game is still so funny to watch! :D

[@cornicheck500]

WhiteVampire888 You should definetely try it out its lots of fun. :)

[@WhiteVampire888]

Corni Check Yeah i checked it soon after, because i found some friends in AOM who still had some keys for AOE 2 and they gifted one to me. But i have to assume that its way harder than AOM o.0

[@cornicheck500]

WhiteVampire888 I dont know much about AoM, only played it years ago with a friend sometimes, but you're right it has a lot of depth in it. :)

[@SpoOkyMagician]

Ah diplomacy games... You should play/narrate more of these zak. They are always fun to watch. So chaotic.

Just finished watching this game all the way through, absolutely amazing!!! Definitely one of the most interesting and fun games I have ever seen you commentate on Zak. These kind of games for me are better than those of the really good pros because not everything is perfect and the same build orders/methods are used; whereas in pro games it can become a bit repetitive. Hopefully more games like this (of course not necessarily as long :P) appear on this channel because watching this has made my day :D

[@TheLayZBones]

please get these players back together for another round.

[@tomxiao1]

My first memory of this game was 16 years ago, when I was sitting on the lap of my dad watching him playing this game. First game I ever played and the MOST CLASSIC EVER. Back then all the internet cafes in China were filled with AOE players. 16 years later. Age of Empires is BACK!

[@AyEsGee]

Blade: 1339 killed 1339 Deaths. Wowzers

[@ChristophBurschka]

> now I have only galleons to reproduce *drumroll* I SHIP IT

[@dethdad123]

Oh god Attila the pun strikes again he's here to slaughter all my sheep!

[@lucaschris1]

incredible. i laughed, i cried, klayman for president.

[@Tommoslasguitaros]

Apparently Im insane because I couldnt stop watching this match! Man what a crazy game, legends born and died during the span of one game.. Gotta say the commentary is probably what pulled me through the most, great job casting this match!

[@CoqPwner]

Klaymen the absolute legend. God I started this game figuring I'd skip ahead and watch 20-30 minutes of it, I just watched the entire thing in one sitting and it was worth every minute. Such good show, gg guys

[@TheSonicSegaNerd]

1:41:35 " I doubt anyone is going to watch this all the way through" Hah, you underestimate my lack of a life.

[@IAMreynofficial]

Yes! You guys should do more of these "Diplomacy" type multiplayer games!

[@NavarxD]

I keep coming back to this video every year or so, just because I love it so much.

[@avder42]

As someone who is brand new to this game I can not express just how much I've actually learned simply from watching this video. So much of what to do AND what not to do, and I was so disappointed that we never got to see a final showdown because of a disconnect!

[@Klaymen47]

Srsly where the fuck all the 400.000 people came from these past 2 weeks. Also hai. *Kappa*

[@pontius4915]

It's recommended for a lot of people, me included. Love it! You're one of the players aren't ya?

[@Nikola16789]

Indeed you are, this is the best AoE game I've ever watched.

[@ForeverDoubting]

It's probably the new KZbin algorithm prioritizing long videos, I got here from recommendations xD

[@Cyberhawkzz]

Klaymen! Yeah, Blade and Castor, /salute.

[@saplingall9356]

it has 10,000 likes what do you fking expect pewdiepie has 20,000 this is literally half!

[@eduardoborges506]

Find these players again , make them play a second round! i want to see klaymen the god again.

[@far4955]

This was the very first AoE-related KZbin Video I’ve ever watched. It was 3 years ago, when I was depressed and had the sudden urge to play AoE II and decided to check if KZbin had any AoE content, and this vid was right up there on the search results 😂 Ended up watching this 3 times the entire night till dawn #noregrets

[@WTFdropkick]

Randomly youtubed age of empires II pro games after picking up hd. Was pretty shocked to see a 2 hour video had over 1.5 million views. Having watched it all, it's totally deserved!

[@CrazyNerdMonkey]

Klayman did have the highest kill to death ratio

[@Topgun232]

I can't believe I watched that whole thing start to finish. Awesome game though.

[@123456789ule]

That's a game that I keep coming back to time and time again, with popcorn on the side 🍿

[@DominickGuzzo]

i don't watch all that many matches like this one, but i gotta say: the commentator (ZeroEmpires?) does a great job of being lively and detailed, with a good balance between straight-forward description and color commentary.

[@timhusk1630]

you don't want to be struggling to get wood.

[@jhayemdoubleyou]

There is no sexual that a galleon is. You heard it here folks.

[@cackmed120]

the most absured and amazing game I've ever seen

[@drewoid138]

I went online to play this once. Got my ass handed to me in 5 minutes. Went back to single player.

[@PietervanRossumpvanr]

48:30 Zac having an aoegasm right there DETENATE! OOHHH CASTOR if you know what i mean ;O

[@CiliophoraEuplotes]

Wow, Game of Thrones doesn't compare to this, the romance of the Three Kingdoms doesn't compare to this.

[@cavalier4789]

I just played with Red from this game in an East Asia diplo game. We almost warred early on then teamed and eventually won :)

[@metallicdolphin583]

cavalier haha it was great!

[@HeMan7772]

Wow after a long time of not playing this game, i really enjoyed this competitive match! Thank you! Side note: one of the best aspects i always loved about AOE was losing all your population and rebuilding everything at the side of the map with two villagers! Castor rocked!

[@dazernator8005]

I love the Shakespeare reference at 29:17

[@timothykuok7907]

If all 455,326 viewers watched the entire video, a total of 895,474 hours would have been spent. If all those viewers spent that time working at the US minimum wage of USD 7.25 an hour, that would have amounted to USD 6,492,186.50

[@Klaymen47]

+Timothy Kuok Think of all the florins they could generate by watching ZE stream tho. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[@shubhammaheshwari9391]

+Timothy Kuok this is not how life works

[@onyxsolo1]

I spent so much time playing this game when it first came out. Glad to see it brought back to life.

[@TheCountZopolai]

@17:37 it makes perfect sense. He built the monastery in the back of his base in a less exposed position- the one on the island would be taken down easily. It was a safer place for the relics. He built the one of the island to have monks be created there, so they don't have to walk all the way across the map.

[@mayursonawane1479]

Still enjoying this in 2019

[@ChristophBurschka]

Around the one hour mark, I start needing a diagram to keep track of who's fighting whom. :P The best example of that is at 1:11:00, when Castor's cannon galleon comes in and you expect him to reinforce SelfControl against Sheep's relic fortress, and instead he goes after SC's trebuchets.

[@jaredjeric17]

This match just put a whole new meaning to the word "epic"! Certainly damn worth watching all the way through.

[@m0n5a80]

I like how it started like a normal AoE II match and then all of a sudden the south is covered in green and grey, red and teal almost dissapeared, yellow went from one end of the map to the other and orange retreated to a small island where he defended the relics with his life. It is truly an unique match
