48:18 Hannibal moment Alps crossing

[@nateofthesouth]

The most gravely laugh came from me at this moment

[@Corvinus1]

I can tell you after watching this game i even became a Cataphract

[@louielacuesta8857]

"Arise, arise, Riders of Théoden! Spear shall be shaken, shield shall be splintered, a sword-day, a red day, ere the sun rises! Ride now, ride now, ride! Ride for ruin and the world's ending! Death! Death! Death! Forth Eorlingas!"

[@relationshipswithscott]

need to watch the scene after that epic fight haha

[@Greasy__Bear]

That's what the cataphracts charge feels like, even if it was based on polish hussars instead of byzantine cataphracts.

[@colin2utube]

One of the best Meme-able games I've ever seen, the Cataphract line formation was like mass Hussars, the secret pass was Thermopylae, and the trampling of entire armies was the charge of the Rohirrim ! Awesome !

[@colinfagan539]

Love how the guy at the end was so oblivious he didn't even realize it was a 1v1

[@nateofthesouth]

Straight up war crimes at 26:08 ! 🤣🤣

[@charleshardy2252]

Day 3 of telling drongo he’s scared to 1v1 me

[@keerf255]

48:00 -Thermopylae with Cataphracts... nasty!

[@Therover19]

"this guys cheating! he has more pop than me."

[@ekokp]

🤣🤣🤣 there is always a way to learn the hard truth

[@Decimus92]

The ending flank through the woods reminds me of the goat trial in 300.

[@Reznom]

34:45 you scared the shit out of him🤣🤣

[@ekokp]

that's hilarious 😂 he's just like "nope nope nope nope"

[@CarlFike]

I can't wait to play this game in 2 years when I get a good computer

[@ArmenVendetta]

windows 95 could open this game with no FPS lol

[@Decimus92]

Getting one later this year. It’s been a long time of saving but the end is near! Purely for this game lol

[@nicktisza1768]

It’s on Xbox as well

[@luciusnorman]

Maybe an Xbox is more accesible than a decent rig.

[@ekokp]

man, me too.

[@incagames5342]

Mix in some scouts with trapezites for boosted torch dmg burn down much faster!

[@GDHoneyAcresandCraftWork]

“Even the king was coming to help.” Had me laughing during lunch break!!

[@Eoin1]

that moment when the pathfinding takes on the role of Ephialtes. . Nightmare indeed

[@houseaccount3293]

Aussie, when you go mass cav with Bzy you have to always go Hippodrome. The ability you get from it is what makes has Cav with the Byz possible since they don't get a charge attack. You also have to go Cistern landmark also for the healing flask. If you go Merc then go the other two landmarks

[@HappeDawgGaming]

26:36 were all gonna be safe! were all gonna have a good time! what in the jesus christ was that! "Drongo decimating both sides of a foreign conflict."

[@CaesarSa1ad]

6:40 Not sure if you were mistaken or just misspoke, but the Grand Winery doesn't give an accelerated gather rate, just extra olive oil. Still useful if you're planning on selling the oil to get to castle, but kinda weird choice given you were planning on massing cav.

[@nicholasasbury8711]

Poor purple, oblivious to everything going on in the game then bam a tsunami at his gates.

[@Ubba]

I wonder if spear + hand cannoneer would really counter mass cataphracts - even a half decent player with minor micro would send the cataphracts to charge through the spearmen into the back line of HC and destroy them. That AoE dmg + their survivability would be really interesting to see. Spear+HC's definitely slaughter mass knights but the cata's charge might be the difference. Guess it'd be an eco race to see who could sustain the constant re-maxing of their army. I bet the spear+HC would win in the long run but it'd be a slog for sure.

[@JamesCh.]

Drongo playing my strategy I use since byz release in ffas just does it all 50x faster. Even full map house spam! Only scout mixed in for extra torch damage missing. Gotta love it!

[@Irandoostparsa]

Bro u were a monster this game💀💀💀

[@AuziFox]

@0:55you might have been able to wall in pink’s king. Though I’m not sure if the time and res would be worth it 🤔

[@Thromash]

Every time I watch these I really want to play FFA, but on the other hand, I'm also really sh!t lol Never really actually played against anyone other than AI at least since AoE2 when we'd "hack" the school computers in the 90s & early 2000s then install AoE1,2 & WC3 or AoM on the school system to play against each other.

[@ares106]

What hotkeys do you use? I think you are wasd - ing to move the screen around.

[@johnsommi6716]

Anyone know how to use monarchs ability (sprint and seeing where other kings are) on Xbox?

[@marcodalu5494]

guess what? max out your pop with army means business 😂

[@enetam]

And I was wondering, where that red king went - I guess purple found him after all...

[@lopezlirio4004]

so stroooonkk byzantines booming

[@ArmenVendetta]

so much skill ! lol

[@unclientrandom5371]

How do you use King's ability on console

[@cynbaul]

When will octagon 3 will come?

[@canaanmckerchie1173]

So when is xbox going to get the king abilities????

[@user-nx3vp5mq3o]

What if I told you you can make another unit to support your cataphracts

[@ChristianAdvokat]

What’s the song Drongo tends to hum when he’s doing his dark age attacks?

[@thoms6982]

'Its a dinosaur, fucking dinosaur' I dont know the artist. Think it won a grammy

[@naughtymrrushay8813]

Jurassic park!!

[@ChristianAdvokat]

Thanks :)

[@hermonymusofsparta]

As a Byzantine main, not using the Olive oil for mercenaries and instead selling it for gold never occurred to me. This makes late game so much better when you run short on gold.

[@Niklas0369]

SPEARMEN + HANDCANNONEER DO NOT COUNTER CATAPHRACTS! PERIOD! I tested it multiple times, because I love 4-8 player matches and lategame parties. Cataphracts are too op in lategame!

[@camoc89]

The lack of hippodrome made me sad throughout this watch.

[@saguntum-iberian-greekkons7014]

This is madness... THIS IS BYZANTUM!!!!!!!!!!!!! *Spams Kataphraktoi*

[@user_insert_name_here]

get the torch upgrade whne a scout is close to your units edit- oooh thank god you got it

[@ajmasters6546]

Where's the spectating videos

Riders of Roha!

[@MR-hm9uc]

Riders of Rohan!

[@sanethoughtspreader]

Why not go for the relics in the middle? That's a bit sad lol. I feel like that was such a wasted opportunity. Lol

[@keerf255]

Drongo if you want more usernames just joke around a bit with the name of a historic leader of the civilisation you're playing as

[@MichaelLwin2011]

Drongo if u keep doing this, us nubs wont want to play anymore. Its already hard as a gold player.
