Hera + Mr Yo vs 4 Intermediate Players | AoE2

[@spicytranslations9604]

Good to see Mr.Yo. The guy doesn't get enough traction for how good he is.

[@manen.1350]

dude he's big in China, they have their streaming platform

[@spicytranslations9604]

@@manen.1350 we'll he doesn't get enough traction for non Chinese then.

[@jundies171]

i mean hes definitely not underrated, generally people say hes 3rd or 4th rn, behind viper, hera and (arguably) jordan at times.

[@spicytranslations9604]

@jundies171 yeah not underrated at all just doesn't get enough screen time I guess is what I'm saying.

[@TheHFChang]

..? Who isn’t rating Yo??

[@BlackBullTwitch]

BlackBull (Mayan | 1500) here, never been so excited for a game of Age of Empires. As a group of 10 friends playing and watching the game for over 15y, the amount of theorycrafting, discussion and hype that went into this dwarves that of any other game. Fun fact: we contemplated for weeks on the most optimal/complimentary strategies and civ combo's that would play into our individual styles/strengths, just to decide the last day to go all random. To be honest, I'm happy we did as it brought much more creativity and fun to an already dynamic (position wise) Nomad style map and matchmaking. It's one thing to see them play, it's a whole different story to play against them. The level of military control and map awareness while booming is amazing to experience at first hand. For anyone going up against these titans, if you don't want to be caught with your pants down, keep it basic. The more unorthodox/risky stuff you try the more you get punished. I like random tactics and chaotic plays (hence Dr. Chaos) but it just backfires, it's where they thrive. As the guy who always floods our group chat with War Elephant builds/tactics, my face was nothing but smiles from cheek to cheek when my inevitable end was approaching (Today I learned: Halbs X Monks ✓). Once again massive thanks to Hera & Yo for being such a cool sport. From rescheduling multiple times to joining us for a short chat afterwards in our discord, it was wholesome all the way through. This battle may be lost, but the war is not over...

[@PhilipLouis-rf8xp]

nice bro, you gave Mr. Yo some trouble 1x1 he had to ask Hera for samurais and food. The problem was the purple player he went chinese with no food and no sheep, near Hera and Yo, he almost did'nt play, and yellow somehow got raided by Yo's cavalry. If purple was another civ like persian, he would have a better start.

[@halabala1989]

What an awesome comment. I've been playing AoE2 casually (hard AI) on and off for like 20 years and only recently got into watching the pros play. My mind can't fathom how many actions they make in 5 seconds and how they multitask so many different things as once. Don't see me getting bored of watching 4-6 great players being caught with their pants down against 2 elites :D Good to hear you had fun and indeed it was great of them to have a chat afterwards! AoE2 seems to have a cool community 👍 I'ma watch the video now!

[@nicholaswoollhead6830]

Yo is such a charming dude, hope you'll have him on again soon

[@JohnSmith-tk7nt]

The people demand more mr yo!!! Love that guy

[@ear001]

First time hearing mr yo speaking, he does not sound like the evil aoe2 enemy I thought he sounded, he sounds like a rlly nice guy to be honest

[@InturnetHaetMachine]

This was the best one of the series, it was like an arm wrestle and you guys kept pushing back, gg. Also Yo is a beast!

[@bashbish4564]

Hera: "Their solid, good competitive players." Also Hera: Makes 1 magonel and 2 monks until Imperial Age to defend himself.

[@Sisstra]

Awesome gameplay. For the first 25 minutes couldn't tell if you will suddenly lose or not. Very entertaining

[@LlywellynOBrien]

It really felt like one about three occasions Hera was on the verge of being boxed in badly enough to really take him out of it!

[@gruntgg]

That was such a great game. Really enjoyed to see more team play as well, as your bases were much closer and you sent troops to each other to assist. The other 2v6 with Viper and DauT felt more like 2x 1v3 but this one was really a team game. Keep them coming!

[@pioneerAv]

I got dyslexic and read 4 pros vs 2 intermediates. Sounded like a beat down 11

[@merlin5960]

So Viper was the problem lmao

[@leonidaszatchbell2122]

Hahaha, but I'd like to watch him more though sounds like a fun guy.

[@PruthviChauhan]

best of the series!? We need Viper to come back to redeem himself.

[@thelostangel7649]

This felt quite fair, very entertaining game. Also really liked to see Mr Yo, he is a beast!

[@rahulramabhadran1301]

Yo has absolutely no respect for us plebs..Savage gameplay tho

[@j1g2w3]

Yeah Hera's like "they're 1500 and 1300 that's solid!" Yo does not sound convinced at all.

[@PhilipLouis-rf8xp]

@@j1g2w3 lol Yo said something like "did you say they are solid?"

[@Aleman95432]

"Let's see how good you are" Yo: and i took that personally

[@sorenwestwood1514]

It was great to see Mr. Yo. Appreciate what he does for the game, and I hope to see him in the future.

[@kingdomstcg]

Thanks Hera for what you do for the game! Absolutely loved this video. You’re awesome!

[@camwardart]

I know Yo uses another streaming platform but I always like getting to see him pop up in vids and in tournaments. Also like whenever he gives his thoughts on the games. Great vid!

[@DanJiang]

Hype! Collab with Yo?! Awesome!

[@ironsentinel5847]

You can really see the level increase in difficulty at 1500 ELO....This was so fun to watch...great synergy between you.. MORREEEEEE xD

[@anything.with.motors]

Mr yo: i need food. Hera : buys food. Mr yo: sell food 😂 "price was tempting"

[@tfranzini]

Yo is a class act haha great game guys

[@gentferdinand7443]

dude you were so happy interacting with another pro while playing you had such a good mood during that game .. :) love to see it

[@hartesgeld]

That discord call sound man xD I rly thought that somebody called me :D

[@ar1sm70]

Love these collaborations! I wish Yo was able to stream on Twitch or KZbin as well :)

[@G31GER_AOE]

ngl the communication between you and yo is hilarious, good banter.

[@Michael_Brock]

GG, great for the win. Yo does not get enough exposure. Hera good vid as usual, even though I don't play any AOE games. You and spirit of the law are top of my playlists.

[@sirati9770]

its hilarious that someone knew that was about to be filmed, went to the twitch channel, saw it was offline and still chatted, and because hera uses the same layout for the recording we were all blessed with the chatmessage sticking around the whole video

my two all time favorites 😮

Man... you are so chill even with the pressure on. When I play with my friend we are always screaming and blaming each other for losing haha.

Yo: "Use your monk to do the thing." Lmfao

[@sourathghosh5170]

Awesome game @Hera and Yo!!

[@chrismorrow1467]

Whats insane is a 1500 would kick my ass yet you beat 4 on a map with no real advantage at the start for everyone.

[@sourathghosh5170]

Same thoughts here!! Indeed there is a lot to learn

[@nootnoot753]

Two of them were 1500, then another one was 1300 and the last one was 1150

with op civs too

Mass elephants and mass samurai, just the way it should be!

[@LlywellynOBrien]

A real shame what happened to purple here. It really made it 2 v 3.5 or 3.25, despite their amazing efforts to stay in it anyway. Had they had a slightly better start I think this would have been a lot harder.

Great video, thank u❤❤❤

Ok hear me out. A 2v4 series where you play against viewers, except your teammate is a beginner player that you have to carry to victory any way you can.

[@lincolnvolk7609]

But no sling from the lower player, that would be fun to see

Still salty about losing with Viper xD

[@ObiwanNekody]

This is something special

[@pitlessboy3430]

Nice video as always this series is awesome! For the low elo scrubs such as myself any reason why you went for Horse Collar? Thought the general consensus right now was the payoff on that tech takes so long it's not worth it.

[@ThePlaymoBill]

If I'm not mistaken it's only the last mill upgrade (crop rotation) you shouldnt take , since more food on farms is good in feud to save wood and heavy plough accelerates the food production of your vils on farms

[@SemiMono]

Horse collar absolutely pays out. There is a balance of when to get it, but you do need it eventually. I'd argue Hera should have gotten heavy plow a lot sooner too. The key is, how many farms are you making? The upgrade benefits every farm after research, so if you want 3 farmers, it's definitely not worth it. But if you have 30, it's absolutely worth it (think, delaying an expense of 1800 wood for about 4 minutes, indefinitely). Also, heavy plow actually increases effective gather rate (because of the +1 carry capacity), so it pays out even more. As you say, the payout is delayed. If you're doing an extreme all-in play, probably don't bother with the farm upgrades. In such a strat, the key is to do damage as early as possible. Skipping those upgrades will move up your timeline and increase your chances of doing damage, and often times the outcome of such a game is decided before the farm upgrades would be paying out significantly. But if you're booming, as Hera was, you need those upgrades.

[@mbvglider]

People say Horse Collar isn't worth it, but it's situational. They had a very good base setup in the corner of the map w/ one player really nearby that they could destroy easily. Hera was able to make Fast Castle with only six farms, and once he clicked up, it'd be silly not to get Horse Collar. His plan was to eco boom and defend with walls, some siege, and a couple monks, not even a Barracks until the end of Castle Age. When you're in an all out boom, Horse Collar is absolutely worth it. If he had to make a bunch of farms in Feudal to play out his strategy, he would have skipped Horse Collar for the first set of farms.

[@mbvglider]

(It's also because Yo sent him all that food in the form of sheep, so he could delay farms. If he had to build lots of farms to make it to Castle Age, he probably would have skipped Horse Collar then, as he would have prioritized Fast Castle over saving wood later.)
