[@crisscrossam]

I've got to admit, i never watched pros play this game that i've played so casually my whole life, and my tiny monkey brain just couldn't comprehend what i was seeing most of the time. So many things to keep up with, so many actions every second of the match, and that's without mentioning small actions that have big consequences like not having any army of regular soldiers and only have seige weapons and controlling where they shoot, placing small buildings to block enemy units, and my favorite was using animals as scouts in the start of the game.

[@HeraAgeofEmpires2]

hope u enjoyed it, it gets easier to follow as u watch more

[@aleckim9337]

Same bro, play since I was 4 and still cant keep up with these guys

[@DarthPepis]

[@iziahwhiu6846]

I legit thought the same thing, animals as scouts is genius 😂

[@meanoldfatlady5071]

[@nick__m]

Hera killed the most of his own units this game. 21 kills 11

[@PauxloE]

I guess going scorpion-only (with a few onagers to cut trees) would have been better here.

[@Rondigity92]

​@@PauxloEthen we wouldn't get to see all the onager shots

[@lekhakaananta5864]

@@PauxloE No because then he would just get stopped by castles. If you try to fight castles with scorpions you might lose all of them and not even win. So you see, Hera wisely would rather pay the cost of friendly-fire than to do a lot less damage to buildings with scorpions only.

[@hcironman9196]

it's cool you're able to use the phrase 'professional player'. When I was a kid spamming cobra cars I could've never imagined that playing this game could ever be a profession

[@jahnmark2864]

bro the Imma go professional got me dead🤣🤣

[@juliakiefer3357]

[@ariisee]

The team had Bohemians, which was kinda funny because Yellow could go full Houfnice's if other players would sling him. He forgot about Chemistry and probably picked Heated Shot. R.I.P

[@Endrit719]

lmao yeah

[@mattwithahat3857]

Yeah, thought so as well. They could have easily beat that SO strat with Houfnice's. And then also mass Bohemian monks with Redemption and Hussite Reforms (all Monestary stuff only costs food) -> RIP SO.

[@thesnackbandit]

I thought that was going to be their plan from the start.

[@federicojcoltro2227]

Dude this was sick… never saw your micro in pov before… i can see why you are number 1!

[@HeraAgeofEmpires2]

thank you and welcome to the channel!

[@gruntgg]

Seeing entire armies melt to siege onager shots is one of the most satisfying things in this game for sure. Keep them coming, Hera! GG!

[@daenyboi]

Hitting a good shoot with a bombard cannon on a single unit is also pretty satisfying

[@Bloodark124]

This is AOE2 Celt SO hero wet dream, when you have to face multiple opponents but like movie grunts they come at you one at a time in turn and you crush them with superior skills.

This is clearly Hera embracing his evil arc.

[@The_Lazy_Misfit]

It is amazing the pc legends are able to cross play with you guys. Brings some real fight to the death hard core modes into the Xbox world.

[@dragontamer9323]

Definition of Greed: clicking "Loom" at the 25 (in-game) minute mark, KZbin video ~16:40. It was a smart play for sure, but risky. Newbie players tend to like to push to the endgame where 800 population vs 200 population obviously would be a crushing win. So Hera knew the beginners would go for late game, and then played the most extreme greed ever (No-loom fast-castle into 4x Town Center? Wow, greediest play I've ever seen). The best chance for the beginners is the unintuitive choice: they had to attack in Castle Age. Hera coming up with the counter to the "obvious" strategy was key here. Furthermore, late-game faster-firing Celt Siege Onager would cut through the map and avoid walls, while being the best unit for ~40 unit army vs a crushing ~400 man unit army from the 4x beginner players. Siege Onager (with +Attack speed from Celts) are probably the only late-game unit who can take 10-to-1 odds like this and come out on top.

[@sewersideproductions2606]

What if you played four noobs but as soon as the game started they sent every single villager after you? How could you possibly defend against a 4x villager brawl?

[@garrettehoffman5374]

We did no attacking in dark age

[@alexzwanenburg4009]

4x Berbers for the fast tc drop

[@zackhendo5926]

TC?

[@agustinfranco0]

one word: garrison

[@XyntXII]

I was thinking SO will not work, Hera is worrying about monks, but there will be Houfnice! But then I saw the bohemian longswords xD

[@mitsospreveza]

Hera stopped doing what we all did against easy AI when we were children, became a top player at this game, only to start doing the same thing again but to all of us this time around.. Can anybody really blame him?! 11

[@wembernativo6572]

I think beginner players are much more passive compared to more experienced ones.

[@Endrit719]

no shit

[@SemiMono]

They're slower. Turtling is good for them because they don't have the speed to deal with raids etc. I suspect on xbox this is just increased.

[@reverendterminator]

ywah we like to do it slow

[@camwardart]

Hello Hera, a long time ago a friend and I que'd up for ranked 2v2/3v3/4v4 (some team games), que pops and I believe we got a 4v4 game (maybe 3v3 its been a couple years), everything seemed normal at first... other team was being very defensive, and we had a bit of a score lead so our team did a bit of pressure early castle and kept building up to Imp ( I was goth and hoping to get a good eco before I built up a big army) .Then Imp came in and we started our major attack, and something interesting is noticed, for some reason the other team has wonders in each of the bases.... is this some kinda flex? who do they think they are? Well its at that point, and only that point I realized it was quite literally you on the other team as a pocket, and shit gets real. I tried my best to overwhelm you with goth spam, I would even argue I had your team a little nervous at one point (I think one of your edges was starting to cave in), then after about 30 mins of non stop aggression, the time came for your teams counter attack, and we all got decimated. I remember me and my buddy checking the recent players after/looking everything up, and sure enough it was the #1 ranked Hera on that team. Legend. Will never forget that beating lol.

[@freedom7009]

love this map. lookes like typical red alert 2 maps

[@Yontanian]

Just started watching - Had to slow the video down to 0.25 speed to keep up with all the things you are doing! Very impressive.

[@NapKingCole84]

111111 It's like you had a delete key for their units, micro so good.

[@Irfanhill]

Green had a score of around 2300 when Hera hit the 6000 points mark!

[@cleber11]

Best strategy for the beginers is to attack right away with 3 villagers+ scout each to deny access to resources while "building with one villager back at the base

[@Icemanlb]

I thought something similar. I mean they had 4 scouts why not just rush with that and set him back.

[@raffilevy2029]

Really cool to watch! And compliment to Hera to make it fun and above all explain here and there things despite being busy kicking Chevalier butts. Although I started playing this game in 99 I never played online (just LAN parties back then - I feel old). I was wondering what the platforms are today? Where do I get more info about the AoE leagues / tournaments etc? Would love to get into esport again as a spectator :)

[@tonymiller8244]

I know I'm late but he said it himself. "I don't care how good you are. Against 800 pop?" All they had to do was wall/pull a fatslob. Like two of them rushing walls in the center and don't ever stop. Other two fast castle, even at 1200 they should be able to boom a bit. That's 400 pop with potentially poor villager count, rough macro and minimal micro but one go infantry and the other seige and they'll be fine. Other two players can then boom during the mid game trades to a few TCS and start getting ranged/maybe bombards and either light cav or knights. Soon you're against everything and against 800 pop... just not enough coordination from the 1200s.

Now out of curiosity : when faced with this kind of deathball how would a light cav spam fare? Maybe like 2 players sending waves of hussars to hold you out while the other 2 build some serious eco / army to raid you to death?
