CENTURION vs EVERY UNIT (Return of Rome) | AoE II: DE

[@quaintserpent]

“Teutonic knight: The Origin” coming to theaters in 16th May.

[@ZantineVonKauffen]

My only problem with the academy units of AoE1 is I never find a proper counter to them other than more academy units

[@cristhianferreyra1563]

Ballistas, priests, mounted archers and elephants. Never on melee excepting with other centurions.

[@Qew1601]

chariot archer , the centurion is expensive as hell , you can mass bow unit and focus fire each one of them

[@luisdavidmatiazserra5185]

Balist and heliopolis

[@anghainguyen9951]

​@@cristhianferreyra1563nah they counter elephant cost effective i think

[@Amp661]

Dude, a shit ton of archers drop centurions in a heartbeat. Horse archers even better. Also, helepoli are amazing against them. Don't do elephants, they drop easily.

[@janruudschutrups9382]

Compared to the slow movement speed of Centurions (and other academy units in AoE1/AoE1DE) these guys are practically running :D.

[@RoundBaguette]

Its in fast sorta

[@kirby3901]

they are way too fast i hope they get a nerf and slowed like a teutonic knight

[@sgtpepper8581]

​@@kirby3901 more than 20 years being like this and nobody asked a nerf, what's your point?? They aren't unstoppable

[@kirby3901]

@@sgtpepper8581 in original age 1 they are much slower thats my point

[@RennieAsh]

Everything in this video is hyperspeed I mean look at those horses, people think shervampsa riders are fast they got nothing on these guys lol.

[@kevinabiwardani7550]

Kings and emperors are scared of Teutonic Knight and Jaguar Warrior. But legends knew the true fear of seeing a Centurion battalion marching to flatten your entire base.

[@Mordecrox]

When I heard of Rome coming to AoE2 the first thought I had was their unique unit would be the AoE Centurion

[@kevinabiwardani7550]

@@Mordecrox I wish that too... But I bet it will be too OP. Even the Roman Centurion we got in AoE2 is already OP if combined with their Legionnaire.

[@legion2590]

The match versus the general came down to the wire.

[@Timed-Automaton]

In orginal AOE 1 CD version, they just show their sword to the villigers and villigers go through a traumatic death.

[@SovieTr4mC4m]

Ahh yes. Stealth archers.

[@duykhoinguyen2178]

The result would be huge diffirent if you put best version of each unit against centurion than a generic one. For ex: Egyptian chariot, Roman legionary... Besides, the fight should be resource equal wise than a equal number. Centurion relies on quantity to fight over quality. So if you put equal unit the fight will almost be 1-sided

[@Mortaall1]

So much nostalgia! 😍

[@pieterterblanche2151]

So the best ingame counters seem to be elephants and Priests, now I need to memorize which civs has elephants again.

[@dragonboytsubasa]

Not elephants, but Priests definitely. Centurions are supposed to be ele counters not the other way around. Eles only won the matchup here because of numbers.

[@RennieAsh]

​@@dragonboytsubasait has to be armoured elephant; regular elephants only do 1 damage to full armour centurions and the trample radius is small. Generally you can use archers with more than 4 damage too. Macedonian centurions require horse archers mostly. Otherwise get the siege with meatshield

[@indnwkybrd]

Can you do this centurion vs. every AoE2 unique unit? Or is that not possible?

[@sgtpepper8581]

He did it the last year kzbin.info/www/bejne/opDHY4elfNqMqsU

[@darkhope97]

That one centurion that survived the nuke trooper be like

[@Hizungaya]

To this day (20 years) I don't understand why a centurion with a large shield has hardly any pierces armor !!! Axman has no shield but more pierces armor.... how is that possible ?? Actually, Centurion should have armor like this: 8+6/6+3

[@gracolo]

Balance fix. Centurion with that stat would be unstoppable

[@Amp661]

The tower shield upgrade compensated for that. But it went to all foot soldiers.

[@RennieAsh]

Macedonian centurions have 2+3 pierce armour. That is not fun when you have crappy siege and mediocre archers. They are also resistant to conversion.

[@ogmosuares2091]

5:55 omg is Alfred the Alpaca

[@llSuperSnivyll]

How do the conversion mechanics work in Return to Rome? Because AOE1's were different from AOE2 (it had no maximum time before conversion, for instance).

[@fgrcdefeatkiller7724]

i think they'd be just like the ones in age 2, much like how they kept the 2's trading mechanics instead of the originals

[@Darkelaris]

@@fgrcdefeatkiller7724 i miss aoe1 original conversion where u could sarcifice ur monk buy pressing delete for instant conversion... in aoe definitive it was removed.. That unique tech was my favorite...

[@fgrcdefeatkiller7724]

@@Darkelaris it was a kind of useless tech but it was pretty funny

[@Amp661]

​@@Darkelaris I thought that was called Zealotry in AOE1? Where the priest dies but the unit is instantly converted?

[@CountlessPWNZ]

​@@Amp661 it was called Jihad in the cd version

[@cristhianferreyra1563]

So now Is Golden instead grey. 🤔

[@jimmyorgenkaccrow4961]

I think it's better than the sun-rayed version of Phalangite (Phalanx) in DE.

[@cristhianferreyra1563]

@@jimmyorgenkaccrow4961 i like both.

[@gerriejordaan8385]

That is a lot of Centurion deaths.

[@wefinishthisnow3883]

Centurions win vs everything except Elephants, Heliopolis and Monks, yet the Macedonian Centurions barely lost to the Elephants (1on1 Eles actually lose and are slower and more expensive, so microed to avoid the trample damage Centurions win), get 4x resistance to Monks, 2 additional pierce armour vs Heliopolis (again, better micro/formations) and +2 LoS. Microed archers are ineffective, with the +2 bonus pierce armour, Macedonian Centurions can just ignore the archers and go straight for the villagers and buildings which all get melted. There pretty much isn't a counter for FU massed Macedonian Centurions, especially when backed by Catapults to take out any massed Helios/Monks/Archers.

[@JJBeauregard1]

The Camel Rider seems so out of place. The camel has no saddle or rein and the rider just looks like a Legionary without his helmet pasted on top...

[@RennieAsh]

That and the slinger were added units for RoR original expansion. Maybe they didn't put as much time in to those animations lol

[@EFSFYdjj]

How do you turn this on: I'm the future! Bigdaddy: Shame on you.

[@ulfricsombrage]

centurion probably destroys the armored elephant in duel but they lose the 15 vs 15 fight because of the area of effect of elephant attack XD

[@LibeliumDragonfly]

centurion literally kills you with their crouch....... I mean, that attach animation delay......

[@ttpq6618]

Satisfying battle sound

[@peterchoi4660]

All hail centurionnnnnnnnnnnn

[@tomascostanzo3673]

Best counters: Cavalry archers and ballistae

[@RennieAsh]

Priests, armoured elephant also works. Meatshield + ranged.

[@shubhamsniper]

I need that sheep

[@cmlcml415]

Not sure why Roman Centurions don't have any bonus from the civs despite being a Roman thingy

[@SSJ1Igor]

ok this but listen bro we can finally see which car is better cobra or big daddy !

[@RennieAsh]

Big momma is closer but would easily win I think

[@hawkeye5129]

They can make Empire Earth game

[@msonisama8656]

hopefully they've ported the campaigns too.

[@manlymollusc6534]

pretty much op without some micro, charriot arches shred them if they have space to kite them and you only trade wood and food for gold. Decent tradeoff imho

[@RennieAsh]

Not sure about shred, most chariot archer does 4+1 damage which is 2 damage per hit. Horse archer is much better if you can afford the gold.

[@splork8016]

Why is the Roman centurion wearing a Greek Korinthian helmet? Sure it was a popular helmet and used by many, but seems a bit wrong to put it on a centurion, who's supposed to be well equipped with Roman stuff

[@micahbush5397]

For that matter, why are guys with long spears using rectangular shields instead of lighter and more maneuverable round or oval shields?

[@germanico3zea379]

jajajajajaja ya parece "un ataque de Calígula"

[@drakZes]

Balistas in AOE1 was on another level. IN AOE2 the scorpions suck

[@RennieAsh]

Pass through damage is good but 40 damage bolts is dangerous. Kill archers in 2 shots , fires as quickly as an archer lol

[@OlrikMeister]

Where is Baby Prez?

[@RennieAsh]

Wasn't added apparently. Probably some political correctness thing

We can't attack those, they are boats. But they are on land! We can't go on the seas we will sink! _But they are on land!_ *Dies*

[@llSuperSnivyll]

Same with the Catapults.

[@jesusruiz9611]

joder tío ¿la armadura de los centuriónes es inmune a las flechas? porque veo que nadita de daño le hacen joder tío que geniales son los centuriónes joder y encima hacen daño extra a unidades blindadas ¿es en serio? es como jugar contra rugal ni los más poderosos personajes lo derrotan

[@RennieAsh]

They actually don't have any special pierce armour. Just +3 from upgrades, same as any foot melee. It's that they have 160HP. Archers do whittle them down in numbers especially with meatshield and using tight building blocking etc

[@jenexopie464]

i really wish the Legionary was the "champion" for the romans... with square shield , pilum and all

[@Kawabongahlive]

While I get that, aoe2 roman legionaries are the ones Western Rome had during the times of the Huns and the Goths.

About as slow as most foot melee. Greek ones are 25% faster

[@aladuh3442]

Why gold armor?

[@micahbush5397]

It's bronze.

[@kaedegrv]

So.... What is actually happening these days? Are they fusing AOE and AOE2?

[@RennieAsh]

It's basically adding AoE1 into the aoe2 engine . Only the Romans will have that added to aoe2 as a civ

[@kaedegrv]

@@RennieAsh that is… good? Haha

[@RennieAsh]

​@@kaedegrvsome parts are good. I guess you can play AoE 1 in AoE2 now. It does have some AoE2 features

On AOE! we counter this whit Siege like Heliopolis is a like a scorpion but very very broken.
