Three TCS or one, we won't be any closer to learning how villagers procreate.

[@chrisbandicoot9552]

Villagers don't procreate. All town centers are equipped with cloning vats. Each clone requires 50 food. That's why you can produce villagers even when you don't have any.

[@glitch3141]

Immigration. The food cost is the price to feed them and get them to join your side.

[@tuxedomollusk]

Every TC has a Dr. Frankenstein under contract to stitch new villagers together from an assortment of animal corpses, berries, and crops. The "Town Center" label is simply a convenient cover for his abattoir/lab. This also explains how the villagers get so swole, considering the monster had a superior physique in the Mary Shelley novel. Yeah, turns out AOE is actually a horror game. Who knew.

[@jcpkill1175]

Sotl is quite qualified to teach as its technically what his channel is mainly about, which is teaching aoe2 indirectly (ie no build order guides etc) If he does make a beginners guide it should be something new and around his style of videos, instead of a build order guide which is probably the norm why not take a look at basic build orders and walk through why everything is done. Instead of people learning they comprehend it and progress further with a general understanding and ability to mold it much better than a normal build order would.

Great video! shouldnt you emperically consider the cost of building more lumber camps or mine camps, which players with only one TC have to do? Because when I build an extra TC I put it in a place i would a build a lumber camp and a mine camp. Just a suggestion!

[@Bart_Happel]

Fair point, but you should also consider the extra farms you need for villager production and your lumbercamps and mining camps get saturated faster with the higher villager production so you also need more of them faster. You are investing in your eco three times as much as you would do for one tc and your eco is therefor also growing three times as fast.

[@carbon1255]

I think bart is right, you have more farms and mills to build, and more micro to do - all at a time where a one tc player is really pushing you. So i don't think it is an economy. I think it really comes down to attacking in AoE2 being quite challenging and risky - otherwise single tc would win every time (as they used to in the old meta)

[@CharlesJ3]

Love your videos man. Your use of math to be objective is awesome. You are my AoE2 Yoda.

[@periculum69]

This video inspired me to look a little deeper at extra TC's and some less conventional strategies. Building two TC's does exactly what you think and splits the difference. I don't know why, but I was surprised to realize that it takes just as long for it to pay off it's investment though. You still don't surpass the one TC build until more than 9 minutes have passed, which is the same time it takes a 3 TC build to surpass either a one TC build or a two TC build. But the difference either way is only going be half what it otherwise would have been, so nobody is going to have as great of an army advantage during those ~10 minutes. Or after. So could be a good way to hedge your bets if you're not sure what your opponent may do, but it'd also be harder to leverage an advantage over your opponent once you find out what they're doing. You'll have less of an initial economy lead to disrupt them if they went for more TC's, and you're not going to have that much stronger of an economy than them after 10 minutes if they went for fewer TC's. Then for fun I looked at Indian players with their cheaper villagers specifically. Trying to replicate your math, I calculated that an Indian villager only costs 138.1 vill seconds to create. Thanks to this, the Indian player on three TC's will surpass the value of a Generic one TC build a full minute faster than other civs, at a bit over 8 minutes. A significantly shorter window. Another interesting option I looked at but haven't tried in game yet is an Indian player doing a four TC build. Since four vills for them costs nearly the same as 3 for a generic civ. The four TC build has the obvious and quite substantial drawback of a more expensive initial investment, basically bankrupting you at the beginning of castle age. However, it is never more than that initial investment behind a generic three TC build. Unlike the other comparisons, you're not falling further behind while making extra vills against a generic three TC build, so they will never have more than a 1237 vill second economy lead over you. AND that disappears surprisingly quickly after around 6:30 minutes. From that point forward, you're ahead.

[@LeaderOfTheRedNinjas]

On a practical note, 2 tc has the advantage of being much easier to execute and balance for newer players. I'm using it as a way into getting used to using more than one TC in open games and would reccomend it for other lower level players too

Hera was the man to ask on this strategy, but it would have been nice to get his take as Viper was the best player back when one TC was the meta, he could explain why 3 tc became dominant and why. He also goes 1tc on occasion.

[@TheStrangeBloke]

Hera is the guy to ask here, since this is one of his signature strats, and he's much easier to get ahold of since he's a canadian and consequently in a closer time zone. You have to see this from the pro point of view.PoVs too. There's little incentive for someone like Viper to weigh in; everyone who watches SotL knows who he is. Hera, meanwhile, is not, properly speaking, a 'pro' because AoE2 isn't his primary source of income, so this Q&A is a great opportunity for him where it'd just kinda be a chore for the Viper. In any case, SotL's "ft. pro" segments are a relatively new feature. He's only had this format for like three videos? I'm sure we'll get Viper at some point.

[@Helpful_Corn]

I know I'm very late on this, but I think you forgot to factor in the lost resources that those 8 villagers missed out on collecting while constructing the TC's. By my math 8 villagers working for 75 seconds adds up to a not insignificant 600 extra lost seconds. But maybe it's not worth factoring that in because players will be constructing things anyway.

[@shivdmanwii]

Really like the pro player feedback. I would realy love if you could get that after you did your tests so you could potentially discuss some of the results and see if that changes their mind on otherwise add to the conversation. E.g. in this case it would have been nice to have the 9ish min mark be discussed to see how that held up to real scenarios as well as the whole converting of resources into villager seconds. I think a pro player could really use that sort of information since they would have better knowledge of how long techs take to research and could potentially give further insight with the resources represented that way.

Perhaps 3 TC is the best. You can go to Imperial Age faster and get the long ranged Arbalests.

[@amauriherrera6022]

Everything in AOE2 is about timing. Therefore walling/map control determines this TC question. 3TC wins the long game, 1TC wins the rush. Black Forest is an example. Fast feudal, fast tower at the wall, fast Castle, fast knight to palisades GG. Low ELOs wouldn't even know what hit them. But if you fail at aggro the boomer will wreck you in Imperial. So it comes down to making your units really count, ergo micro and tactics. Good raiding practices.

[@Undefined14]

If you use a "max villager" number of say 100, you could determine the maximum advantage of Boom (because eventually 1TC gets there too). It would be smaller with a later Castle Age. So later advance means that it might not ever be worth it to boom (max advantage of the long term investment being smaller than the max advantage of aggressive play seems bad). Thoughts?

Yes, Max population is also a factor

I like your videos. Found them recently and they made me want to go back and play the campaigns again.

[@sethkritarth]

Love the video, but shouldn't you also consider the savings of 3-4 buildings that a TC is now doing the work of? (as a collection point for all types of resources). Eg. at 5:54 you now don't require 1 mill, 2 mining camps and 1 lumber camp. This means that TC= 375 resources + 150 sec and these 4 buildings = 400 resources and 140 sec. Additionally, there is an advantage of less villager walking time to resources (right after creation) and to safety (in case of an attack). I know the placement of TC at 5:54 one is pretty much ideal, but at the very least a TC does the job of 2 buildings. I would say that it pays off much earlier than you think here, but yes, depending upon the placement. I usually play with 2 TC strategy, but only drop the 2nd TC when I find the ideal location. If I ever build a 3rd TC, its usually in my allies' base.

[@fidrewe99]

The AOE2 learning curve is very flat, but these amazing videos let me soak up game knowledge like a sponge. I would say the lower the villager count at the start of the earlier the boom, the more vulnerable the boomer, will be since the advantage of the player going for military amounts to a larger percentage of the military budget of both players. The gap will be even greater when the aggressive player starts with a higher villager count or manages to kill a lot of villagers in the investment phase of the boom. A smaller relative disadvantage can be made up more easily by good gaming. Is a 2 TC boom really that pointless? A 2 TC boom will start paying off faster than a 3 TC boom - fast enough to have a window where you have an advantage over the 3 TC guy, which is prolonged because of your stronger enconomy compared to 1 TC. Moreover, you can outboom the opponent more easily later on in case you only manage to inflict moderate damage on him or her. Conversely, it should be more easy to fight off 1 TC players, which have a smaller advantage within a shorter time window compared to vs. a 3 TC boomer. I haven't done the math, but under ideal conditions I expect the 2 TC player to be well ahead of both the 1 TC and the 3 TC player around 9 minutes into castle age.

[@KaoticPhoenix]

So basically 3 TCs are universally the better option but I have to wonder, normally when your opponent reaches Castle Age before you, the default would be to 1 TC push them while they are probably booming in order to stay competitive, but what if they 1 TC push you instead? They have better units, why not invest a large amount into military first. I know this depends because walling and booming is easier than constantly attacking but would there even be a point to booming if this was the meta. Idk I guess I just need more experience at the game

[@Ysereus]

I Wish i was better at Multitasking. I Like rts alot, but my inability to do multiple Things at the Same time holds me Back alot. I cant even concentrate on producing villagers from one TC, let alone from three. I do Well until 10 Minutes and then there is Just to much to Look at. *Feels Bad man*

[@KaoticPhoenix]

Just do what I do any always add extra TCs regardless of what you're doing and hope your macro is better than the other guy Spoiler: this always backfires 11

[@nilab499]

So assuming that, you have 4 villagers building the 2 additional town centers each, you would have 8 villagers missing out of farming resources. so if you pass to the castle age with 28 villagers, you would have 20 villagers remaining in the mean time making resources, whereas in the other case, you would have 28 villagers making resources. so the resource gap should increase until the TCs are done, but in your table it stays constant. this should also shift the time for making up the resource gap further. am I missing something?

[@thisrocks]

Awesome video SOTL. Thank you for all your efforts!

[@hbarudi]

I wish they would change the game to allow a max 2 town centers in feudal age but the game simply unlocks unlimited town centers in castle age. Also if you have a sweet spot with mining, food, and wood available, building a town center saves a house or 2 worth of wood and provide a mill, lumber camp, and mining camp worth of drop off point for resources and can make villagers and support population. That is a lot of benefits that come from building additional town centers. You don't have to have every town center always making villagers if you can't keep up with the food, make a villager, keep the town center providing its other benefits such as drop off, population support, and the ability to use the town bell if the enemy player bring their soldiers to kill your villagers.
