I have been watching you since the game came out on Xbox and reinvigorated my interest in it! Played on PC as a kid making huge scenarios as all that good stuff. I am a true fan Hera! I am so grateful for YOU giving me the skills and knowledge to play AOE2 online :)

I like creating maps too. Sadly they don't let you customize civs for random maps. You need to create a custom map and change the civ via triggers. 🤷🏼♂️

How to counter a tower rush Step 1: be Hera Step 2: win
@coolguygorbus645211 ай бұрын
I assume this is sarcastic, but he did give tips! 1) Don’t worry about towers if they’re not on important resources, or if you can get that res easily somewhere else, 2) counter tower when necessary, 3) utilize archers to push back militia line units, 4) counter attack when possible, 5) expand economy to punish the opponent res spent on towering and MAA

Thanks for these! I used to just give up after a forward tower or castle and now I stay calm and try to fight back and these have been very helpful.

Low ELO put half of their economy on stone, so they can build one tower after another. It's a bit more tricky to defend from this (while also being at low ELO), because the towers quickly take away resources and farm space.

@@spongeb27from my experience the tower rushing power changes over elo. below 900 elo its really powerful, because players panic and dont know how to counter it. at around 1.2k it starts to drop off because the rusher doesnt do enough damage and the rushee just has a better eco and outbooms them. at 1.5-1.6k elo it starts to pick up again because the rushers strategy is alot more refined

11:35 - even has the Magyars in Feudal I have had to fight Japanese Men at Arms & they can usually shred even with no upgrades. The 3 to 2 second reload rate/auto-attack time is what makes all of of those potential scouts even less worth it, even with free +1.

I wonder if Hera uses the right click of the mouse to move the map sometimes? I have not looked into the configuration for right click so I’m unsure and i suspect sometimes he seem to move the screen in a very efficient way ( other than control group and TOWN CENTER hotkey ) that might be the right click function?

Hello everyone I’m new to the game, can someone explain why in high level knight counters pike?
@One777oto72ide11 ай бұрын
knights will survive a trade (or avoid completely with higher movespeed) against roughly equal numbers of pikes (not resource efficient, but unit efficent). after the fight you still have knights and have map control and your opponent has to make more pikes, which gives you a window to do whatever you want. pikes are also not very good at breaking into your base unless they have siege so if youre walled up at home youre completely safe.
@joelcarrizales243511 ай бұрын
Knights are mobile and can avoid most bad fights against pikes

Lost to a tower rush and castle rush my enemy had 18 vils after dropping castle( i killed 9 of them while he build) and his army and then i got 4 rams and my army yo destroy his castle but it wasnt enough. I saw replay and i couls literally all in his base with my army. I had 39.vils when he had 18. Lesson learned i guess.

I'm a 1000 elo scrub but the one thing I can counter well is castle and tower drops, because at my elo that castle/tower is usually their entire plan. They are hoping you're just going to resign the moment it goes up. If you just move your affected vills to res at the other side of your base, then walk to their base with a forward seige workshop you can literally just kill them, the amount of times I've had it done to me where they don't make a single military unit beyond their starting scout is crazy
