Check out my patreon for full 53 minute video www.patreon.com/heraaoe2 Initially this was supposed to be a patreon only video but decided to put the beginner part out for everyone, which should be great for all the new players out there. You guys want me to do the cavalry guide next?

[@HiNationItsMe]

Locked behind $10/month? Thats too much for a video. $5 seems more reasonable

[@HeraAgeofEmpires2]

the 10$ tier has multiple videos, this is just one of them@@HiNationItsMe

[@chiefen4224]

Would appreciate it if you could mention the paywall in the intro next time, you kind of built up false expectations for what the video would entail.

[@HeraAgeofEmpires2]

@@chiefen4224will keep it in mind thanks

are you fucking poor or what wtf $5 is nothing give to my man Hera @@HiNationItsMe

As someone who got to about 1600 by civ picking cav civs and then lost 400 elo when playing archers I really needed this!!!! Really working to get my archers to be decent so I can play random civ (civ picking getting boring)

[@Nomatterwhat69]

I'm the same, and I think the hardest part for me, apart from the micro, is to not spam too many farms

[@ricardorulz]

@@Nomatterwhat69That’s what I do! Bad habit from all my time doing cav civs. By the time I realize I have over a 1000 food in feudal/castle and almost no archers.

[@somersetbassett4580]

Nice! I'm the same, except for being good at cav 😂

[@JonathanWoodall]

@@Nomatterwhat69my issue is that I sacrifice numbers for eco dmg or just taking efficient trades from an economy standpoint and then lose to CAV civs even tho I have a better eco.

Well yea you can’t keep one tricking

Brilliant! Very helpful

[@oberynmartell2731]

your collabs always slays bro keep up the good work!

[@MoRDekai1364]

This format of explaining (by sections)is the most simple and understandable. Great to see Lierrey. The idea to call in an expert in the field felt really professional

[@zeynelaoe]

LOCE THIS TYPE OF VIDEOS!

These 2 seem to know what they are talking about... might take a look myself 🙌

[@maslyz]

I just love how Liereyy pronounces "arrow" like Arnold Schwarzenegger

[@krarch6959]

oooh, so you are a listener of bits & hits :) I was so happy when they started with the AoE2 themes

[@aspirenux8599]

Ty hero. This Guide IS obvious in a few points but EXTREMELY necessary 😮 I'm 900-1k and usually i Go archers when in tg with my friends... And now i understand a Lot of my obvious mistakes....😂😅

[@PetrichorPlays]

for archer stop n shoot are you using the stop function or just clicking move? It seems like he's targeting, so I'd assume the latter?

[@user-rt4oh3kg7q]

I'd be interested in seeing a guide on how to effectively take fights with multi unit comps. I.e. which unit to patrol in which, which to micro, and how

[@sterner57]

Make that money bro - you deserve it

[@gebhard128]

hope we see Liereyy guides as frequently as DauTs guides (2 per year), they are amazing and we plebs need guidance from the lord and his Apostel

[@eriqborg]

I can feel it in the air... "Comprehensive Guide To Market Play Ft. Daut" 😛

[@abhijeetantin6510]

Genuine question, what is the difference between "hit & run" vs "kite"? I thought they were the same things but there are two separate sections in the video for that?

[@HeraAgeofEmpires2]

same thing, hit and run is the description of it basically

[@ponchopalmera4917]

Great content!!! ❤ Next time zoom in a little bit more 😂

[@Meatnrot]

if lierry went streamer mode, the dude would get some massive viewers.

[@pished99]

is it more beneficial to just prioritize hill bonus? E.g. you micro archers back to hill, but dont micro further until he passes you for the hill bonus, then you u-turn with the archers

[@italianlawyer1993]

mmmh this Liereyy is pretty good, he should play more

[@ArtiumGaming]

I would love a video on eco balancing for archer play in Feudal, Castle age and Imperial age. Context : I usually play cav civs and find the eco balance harder with archer civs

[@battleforevermore]

Would you suggest changing the patrol hotkey to attack move hot key permanently? Is there any situation where you use or should use patrol?

[@HeraAgeofEmpires2]

I use patrol cuz im used to it, but whatever works for u is fine

[@ar1sm70]

Great collaboration with the Archer Master! Perhaps a laming masterclass with MBL next time? 11

[@ashwingaikwad7993]

the casual dead bodies at 7:27 (They were killed for entertainment purposes)

[@mrskinny8555]

A lot if achers were killed in the making of this video

[@johnnyroe8053]

Best tip is use protect command so they avoid buildings

[@MrAqwos]

Can someone pls explain why not use defensive stance for archers? To me feels like perfect mix of both mentioned. units wont just take off and run everywhere and die but also they can follow slightly so you hit even target that outrange you.

[@Clickomancer]

yes lads, more vids like that. i'm absorbing them like Sponge Bob Square Pants

[@ignacioaltamirano9273]

hey larry men, win more tornaments men.

[@R3stor]

Archers are like duct tape, if it's not helping, you must use more duct tape.

[@XZellTheBest]

Hi! Today I tried the "patrol trick". Is was a complete disaster. My archers shoots the most far enemy, the reload time was almost the double and the path...oh man...the path was awful...they started to spin around themselves...

[@jvan6582]

As a Goths player I can really appreciate this guide 😂

Dodging ballistics was a thing on aoe 1 ❤❤

Where's part 2

[@AnimeFan-dl4qd]

0:30 I would never forget my favourite player (sorry Hera). Go Liereyy, go! 5:20 I am still not used to it. Seeing AMLiereyy playing vs GL Hera Strange. I am missing the part where Liereyy shows us how to counter camels with just mangonels and step lancers (he did that on Redbull). ->We need a mangonel micro video

[@AnimeFan-dl4qd]

Best of 21 Liereyy vs Hera when?

[@waffleiron2216]

If you're patrolling a group of archers across the map through the fog of war, should you keep them in staggered formation, in case they run into siege on the way?

[@HeraAgeofEmpires2]

yeah id definitely go staggered just incase

[@KurtFan69]

liereyy who has been playing at the very top of the pro scene for 8 years, has been to every lan event, won 2 rbw and was in the finals of both lan redbulls: "probably a lot of people dont know me" 🤓

[@Nomatterwhat69]

Next video: Comprehensive guide to forward siege push ft. Hoang Seriously I love the idea of inviting a player to talk about something they're good at. I'd be interested to see you and Yo talk about UU plays too!

[@Nomatterwhat69]

It's also very complementary with the "How to play like..." series

[@uksalam-ew2bi]

Hoang doesn’t speak much English, but great idea, and maybe possible with a Interpreter and subtitles , would be amazing

I refuse to believe a 15min video guide can be called comprehensive for archers.. knights would need 10seconds saying make knights and profit Edit: I falsely assumed this'd be an archer play guide, not archer micro guide.

[@RazorRG92]

Always helps to watch the video first!

[@edmis90]

@@RazorRG92 Even more helpful would be appropriately naming one's videos tbh. His over the top titles and sometimes thumbnails for clickbait, they're slowly but surely make me take him less and less serious as time goes by. This video is one of the lesser examples, but the video title is so overselling what the video actually is about regardless.
