Honestly, Teal deserved the win for that. The others backing him when he was the one to break the peace was a hilariously bad decision on their end.

If red and purple said so in all chat that teal is trying to king snipe them then i don't think the others would support teal, diplo plays a big role with that many players.

[@JanB1605]

@@gtfogoogle1393 And later on he played grey against the others, to then have a reason to walz grey! Paul really playing those nobility intrigue games!

[@EFFCtoocool]

All I cared about in that game was Teal not winning. it's not even for being a bully as ever commie game has one. It was being a liar the whole time and I hate to see that. The whole "Red & Purp attacked me for no reason", I hate it, I hate Teal. So happy when he died.

[@sebastianramadan7863]

Technically the colours on the minimap are all primary colours: red, green and blue, cyan in the minimap or aqua in gameplay, magenta, yellow and black or grey in gameplay... so teal is cyan or aqua. That's why I hate teal; it's an imposter on all accounts, lying about its identity from the offset.

[@Kubinda12345]

Teal was the biggest liar in the game. He attacked people but claimed that they were attacking him to get everyone on his side.

[@curtisyue182]

Easily the best diplo player of the bunch.

I have a little pet cockatiel and my favorite thing is watching her happily and excitedly fly up to my friends who are meeting her for the first time and the people who are afraid of birds always get so terrified, but she just flies onto your shoulder and smiles at you

[@6St6Jimmy6]

I guess we can call miss T90 a bird knocking the window at the end for the perfect ending.

[@Toonrick12]

Sharkatzor was actually in the files in the Rise of the Rajas expansion for HD, but wasn't used until DE launched. The cat was named Fluffy and was owned by a Forgotten Empires Developer. (Not sure who.) Sadly, Fluffy died on July 3rd 2023. Much much like Stormy, they shall live on forever in this immortal game.

19:15 , masterful edit Hardy

[@antelope6826]

We never saw how many elephants remained at the end of the game 🥲. But hopefully T90 made a speedy run for the door to let in his better half! 😅

[@VijoPlays]

Hardy's editing was hilarious this game!

[@SeaBomb]

Those team-up attacks on Red and Purple were so senseless. I'm glad they held as long as they did. And yellow's snipe was great.

[@Ghreinos]

My favorite players were red, purple and yellow. They stick together till the end ❤

[@CallOfGamer2012]

I was filled with so much joy the moment Teal died. Such a good payoff

[@Neckhawker]

"What's your favorite bird ? T90: - stormy dog"

[@dinoknight6538]

The stormy dog has actually appeared in a number of other games, the one off the top of my head is the original Zoo Tycoon used the stormy dog sprite as eye candy that would pass overhead. I think several other games published by Microsoft also used the stormy dog sprites. The original trees in aoe2 also show up all over the place in Microsoft games of the era.

[@37Kilroy]

Before T90s guess: 71 elephants. EDIT: Wow, very close to T90s 73. I'm assuming based on runtime this game picks up and elephants get too tricky to multitask. Had that advantage in knowledge. SPOILERS: EDIT 2: Never got that final count haha but sometimes family takes priority. Totally underestimated the lack of resources by the end. On that note, loved the map, but thought more wood was needed. Like an increase in wood percentage and birds, if this turned into a more regular diplo game, they'd been out of resources before the fighting started. Good call on green winning. I think he was the best player, but blue really new what he was doing in terms of a community match. Could you copy/paste some generic instructions to the players on basic communication tips / hot keys? Poor grey, like many others, never stood a chance. Keep up the good work T90.

[@maxmach4361]

Shouldn't T90's favourite bird be a chicken? ;]

[@ailius1520]

16:00 - I'm guessing there will only be 3 elephants by the end of the game because players will create a few monks to heal the villagers and keep hunting them.

[@FacialVomitTurtleFights]

Ill say 2 lol I think really players will completely ignore the elephants really soon but they may also take military fire from siege so a more likely number would be around 25 haha

[@nemou4985]

[@DanA-xt8xy]

I love this game to bits. Hope it never dies.

[@Aphid4]

So the reason things spawn more in the middle, if you wonder: Each bird probably has a chance to explode every second. This creates exponential decay. Look up: Exponential distribution. Also, birds fly in a random direction. This means; the closer to the center, the smaller the radius of a circle 360 degrees. That means a smaller area, more resources == more concentration. I'd estimate resource intensity to follow f(x) = c*e^(-dx)/x, with c,d constants. This means the worst place to go is the corners, where you won't get many resources. The best place to TC up is next/near to the center.

Recently stumbled into this channel. Grew up playing aoe and aoe2. Glad to see there’s a big community still out there and would love to jump back in. Any recommendations on PC specs for best play experience?

[@Catalysten]

Looks like it's not that high. I would check Steam for the official specs, but googling it also gives useful information.

[@MathMagician93]

AoE 2 runs on a potato, as the Steam page for it will show you. For multiplayer, your internet connection ping (not speed) is much more important.

[@peterzeger7263]

you can play aoe2de on pretty much everything that runs other multiplayer games without problems.

[@davidloscutoff445]

The main recommendation is to make sure you get Definitive Edition and not HD Edition. They're the same price on Steam, so it's easy to get them mixed up.

I once made a forest nothing map for rise of rome, sadly nobody plays it (farms are enabled in first age, civ list with heavy catapults included in the description)

[@imchris5000]

I want to see another take on this idea. nothing nothing when you build buildings resources spawn around the building is its like a lumber camp mill or mining camp and random other things from the other buildings from units to wild animals

Good match. I thought Green had it for sure. but Blue's eco just outlasted him

[@KamuiPan]

Good Game! It was very even in terms of resources so the top players attacking the lower player in the score board was not bad. At least until the part I watch so far, 33:00.

[@Rall707]

So sad that you missed blue's backdoor castle on red, so much went on red base while you focused on the fight with purple. That's also why red was distracted during the battle. Castle started building around 38:20

Unsure if its been answered yet, but Emperor in a barrel is Fredrick Barbarossa pickled in a barrel to preserve him, so he could be buried under the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem. He had waded into a river with his armour on and drowned which led to the crusade disbanding.
