Try one of the new ones you haven't played before and soak in the excellent storytelling. Armenians and Georgians have really good campaigns

[@irontitan7696]

More campaign!

[@MapleWillowAspen]

Genoese were Byzantines before Italians existed, regarding your question later in the video. I'd love to see some campaign content on this channel. The defensive strategy here is imo actually harder to pull of compared to going aggressive early on and taking out 2-3 enemies right away, so excellent work with that one :) If you're looking for some specific campaigns scenarios that are challenging and well designed on hard, here are some I'd recommend: Kotyan Khan 2 (The Battle at the Kalka River), Thoros 4 (Bloody Crestwaves - okay, you could argue about "well designed" for that one because it's in a one sword campaign, but it's definitely challenging), Rajendra 3 + 5 (Rising Star, Slaying the Vritra - some of the best macro missions in all campaigns) and Jadwiga 4 and 6 (The Siege of Vilnius, The Fruits of her Labor). The Jadwiga campaign in particular is often considered to be the best of all the campaigns by a majority of campaign fans (it's also worth playing just for the story, being propably the campaign with the best writing and storytelling, though one should propably play the Algirdas and Kestutis campaign first, because one of the characters from that one features heavily in both campaigns). I don't doubt that you can still propably beat each of these on your first try, but I think you'd have a decent amount of fun with them. If I could pick one I'd want to see you play the most, it would propably be Jadwiga 4 (The Siege of Vilnius) - not because it's the hardest, but because I think it has some of the best design elements.

[@somebody-anonymous]

I thought that that first sentence was an actual history lesson, haha

[@AaronOmar-co8bn]

mapie, I don't know how you could be simply wrong, the Genoese were inhabitants of the republic of genoa, completely different and separate from the Byzantines. both sides and parties which controlled different lands possessions with different backgrounds in history and upbringings.

[@MapleWillowAspen]

@@AaronOmar-co8bn This is about what civilizations represented the Genoese in this scenario in-game before the italians were introduced with "The Forgotten" expansion. They were represented by the Byzantines, as I've mentioned. I wasn't making any statement about history.

[@AaronOmar-co8bn]

​@@MapleWillowAspen ah, ok, then I misunderstood.

[@quasibrodo923]

There’s an alternative strategy to just go out and defeat all the opponents. You should replay, start building a wonder, delete it, then try to defeat all the opponents And yes, I’d like more campaign stuff.

[@silversrayliegh5924]

Yes, the hardest achievement in this map is to defeat all opponents. Not impossible, but I hate seeing my town getting blasted when I'm out hitting another.

[@richingle9218]

please do this :) i always enjoy doing the campaigns like this too. complete as you are supposed to then complete by killing everything

[@kalgon57]

I was about to say the same thing: Is it possible to defeat the enemies and then build the wonder in a peacful map ?

[@AnimeCritical]

​@@kalgon57No, if you defeat all enemies, game ends. No need for wonder.

[@AnimeCritical]

​@@silversrayliegh5924Build a forward castle as soon as game starts, towards north, where there is a massive gold and stone stockpile, and then start mining there. Put all your archers in that castle. Build fortified walls along all entrances to your base except the left most one, near the shore. This will make all enemies go all the way around and mostly to your forward castle. Build andmaintain a 15 mamaluke army. Upgrade to elite mamluke with blast furnace asap. Upgrade fortified wall asap. Then launch attacks northward with trebs and mamlukes asap. Get zeolotry next. You will defeat one enemy after another. Aim to eliminate the ship building galilee first.

The best part about this is how excited Hera was about everything - even the fact that his teammate conjured elephants out of thin air.

[@ChepMurdoc]

This was awesome to watch, Hera. I would love more of this. Exciting to see a pro player play the harder AI maps. And you shaming the teal 'player' was hilarious. I had a pretty hard laugh on that... "Teal is costing u guys the game btw" 🤣🤣

[@mikelivingood7797]

I remember playing this around 2001. I did not have build orders. I did not know any counters not listed on the game card. Population limits were 75 at the time so going up to 100 was a challenge in and of itself. I lost quite a few times as I was defending the walls. Eventually I won with less than 100 hp on my wonder. It was exhausting. I didn't know there was gold and stone elsewhere, so after running out I was selling food to repair my wonder. I had over a full side full of villagers repairing. It would have been helpful to know they could have destroyed rams. This was by far the hardest challenge. If Hera is going to do campaign events an APM limit like Viper has been doing, will be needed to make it any challenge at all.

[@SantaClaus-kk8zr]

No offense of course but it’s a miracle you made it to this level playing a campaign like that lol, I know the feeling though. I was hardly any better, albeit I usually spent 10 hours just turtling because I liked to play around with the AI behavior and stuff.

[@KroM234]

Your take playing campaigns is absolutely unique here. Love the insight you provide, and it really feels like you have a blast. Please do more!

[@edevrs]

Your love for this game is so contagious ❤ I haven't tried it yet myself, but since there is now the option to co-op campaign, maybe you could team up with your brother, or maybe Daut? That could be great fun to!

[@hrotha]

What you said about how AoE2 has something for every kind of player is so true. Nowadays I mostly watch competitive multiplayer games, but back in the day the strongest draw for me was the game's insanely robust scenario design community. The game didn't have many official campaigns at the time, so people took to the scenario editor straight away to make tons of custom scenarios and campaigns. The variety was WILD, like from the more multiplayer-leaning proto-tower defense scenarios to strictly SP, quasi-RPG campaign experiments. And that's never really stopped, people have been at it for 25 years now and continued creating a functionally infinite amount of gems. It's super cool

[@mawbts530]

Do you remember the Blacksmith?

[@darkyboss12]

in my personal experience, the alternative route (defeating all enemies) is way easier than defending the wonder, clearing all the right side with hussars and mamalukes let you collect a lot of wood and gold for bombard cannons and just start pushing the remains enemies, and letting them out of resources killing all their siege

[@-shadow2407]

Bari 4 is such a hard level when you play on hard for first time, its a "defense" 4x1 basically

[@elduquecaradura1468]

The key is to do four things (SPOILER ALERT): -let Imperial Age for later, your starting resources NEED to be used a.s.a.p. on the creation of troops -make a wall in the north passage at enough distance to not provoke grey enemy and the red teutons, so that way you'll face enemies only by one side -be two steps ahead of your enemies, make a second TC where is convenient to pull villagers and gather all the food+wood as possible, and make pikeman and skirms (byz have cheaper pike and skirms so is even better like this) to help your starting cataphracts - the only gold costing unit you need to do early game are petards for two things: one to destroy Melo's tower early as possible and remove him to don't deal with him ever again (also the resources he won't exploit will be utmost benefitial) and the rest of the petards will be to destroy the blue's castle when he turn against you (if you put the petards right next to blue's castle the amount of troops you'll need to turn him back to you will be just those petards) Later on as an extra, get the yellow norman mercenaries as allies since they are helpful, but avoid them as much as possible to avoid having to deal with the until you can pay them the amount of gold they demand, if you don't pay them, is an extra enemy you must deal with -_-

[@elduquecaradura1468]

It could be an achievement to not pay the mercenaries and beat them, and also the blue guys having a 6vs1 instead of the regular starting 4vs1 xD

[@El_Papaco]

Bari 5 is way harder in my opinion. It took me a long while to beat that one

[@elduquecaradura1468]

@@El_Papaco if you want the cheesy way I can help you: be careful and destroy the two yellow players before the final stage starts, you know, in between attacking the light blue camps, for that convert almost all siege but a last siege tower, use the ramms to destroy the yellow bases and at the end to trigger the final stage the destroy the final siege tower with a fast group of units like light cav Oh, just let a single military building of the two yellow enemies but no houses. Good luck doing units without population space xD...

[@-shadow2407]

in my win play i start creating 3 cataphracts and using them with archers to kil the monks for the gold and insta contracting the yelow, then sending 10 petards to blues castle to instakill him when they turn so the mercenaries and blue takes melos tower solo and i just have to deal with red and green in north part

[@TheKurzzze]

Well played!! I always delayed the wonder a ton and focused on taking out some of the enemies first, but it did take ages since you'd just be sitting out the timer really..

[@ikemeitz5287]

This was super fun. I'd watch a whole campaign series tbh!

[@Icehawk55082]

I was always just campaigns for the last 25 years up until the last 2-3 months I finally started doing some ranked games with a friend (thanks partly to you and general excitement from watching tournaments). I absolutely love the campaigns!

[@El_Papaco]

Some of the harder scenarios I would like to see you do: Kotyan Khan (besides the first scenario, the whole campaign is excelent and pretty challenging) The 3rd Ivaylo scenario The last Hautevilles scenario The last Bari scenario The fourth Jan Zizka scenario The Jadwiga campagin as a whole is very well designed and there are some pretty challenging ones, too.

[@akhileshp6419]

Vietnam 2nd campaign. Absolute nightmare, hardest for me

[@TankiZanki]

adding context to that alert made me laugh so hard, so sweet rofl

[@sokarash]

Oh and campaign content is always welcome. Might want to go for some of the achievements? They can be quite hard, even on lower difficulties. I tried "I Was in China Before" for about three hours on Standard/Easy. When I literrally issed on villager that started to construct the wonder with my army right next to him, it broke me. Or "No Wonder on my Watch", which constantly forced my to changed my battle plans...

Would love to see Hera try the different Victors and Vanquished campaigns. They are more difficult than most other campaigns and some have extra Steam achievements that add more challenges

[@yomi4853]

PLEASE do a campaign playthrough on hard! Would be sick. And by the way there is a kinda cheese strat to win this: Grab the boats and go through a river on the right to the gray team and destroy the town center, they will forfeit right away.

[@ryankasch5561]

Feels really good to hear the boss of GL has trouble beating all the scenarios on hard, as I just finally finished getting all the achievements (sans the masterpiece acheivement) and also the scenarios done on hard. Some community members are too good at the game and not really appreciative of the level of skill required (looking at you ornlu). I had gotten close before the mountain royals, but got stuck on bloody crestwaves and with life. Victors and vanquished has some particularly difficult scenarios and achievements.

[@nixishierfrei]

I know this level has a reputation, but I never felt it was that bad honestly. Having beaten all campaigns on hard, some personal nail biters for me were Dracula 3, Alaric 6 and one in the Indian campaign before Dynasties of India, I haven't checked back on that one since. They are all very fun though if you wanna check them out. Or just enjoy the campaigns by themself. The Age of Titans campaign on the hardest difficulty is another story though. Those levels have no middle ground, either absurd or absolute jokes for some reason 11.

[@gebhard128]

When you do this again try the 2nd mission of the pachacuti campaign on hard with the steam achievement of not building any walls, that is the hardest mission i ever played

[@Jartran72]

If I managed to beat this campaign (with restarts admidetly) then Hera most likely does it first try. But there are really fun campaign missions in thid game for sure!

[@riftrhino1641]

Please keep doing the Campaign missions! As a majority campaign only player it’s awesome seeing my favorite AOE2 player have single player content. Great video! !

[@MadeManG74]

The comment about being able to enjoy AOE2 in so many different ways is absolutely true. I love playing multiplayer, but I also have so much fun playing campaigns. There's such a huge amount of single player content and most of it is really, really fun. That's not even getting into things like community/unranked games. It's very rare that I can play both multi and single player for an RTS game and enjoy both equally, but AOE2 manages to do it.

[@phantomaxl1207]

8:25 On that note, Persian campaign was probably easier because of the buffed War Elephants.

[@tiestofalljays]

Persians are such an insanely good civ nowadays 11. And against AI armies, Saracens with the new Monk tech feel almost unstoppable. Just go Mameluke + Monks + Monk Unique tech + some Seige and you can beat basically any AI army other than like, camel archers.

[@DiegoPerez-ee5rw]

Before italians they were Biz.

[@RAMMY237]

Right, cool thing about Aoe2 is you can enjoy it in many different ways. Even for completing this particular mission there are several strategies exist. With starting units you can go ahead and defeat the Grey right away. Then I used to develop some navy + mamelukes and kill Teal blocking them from the sea at the same time. Hardest thing was to defend the base from other enemies at this point, since my APM is far from being good :) Then it was time to build a wonder and the choice either to defend it from the enemies left, or continue to kill them slowly one by one. Anyways, I've never found this mission too hard even on Hard difficulty. Maybe only in my childhood 25 years ago, but I don't remember, and pretty sure I was playing on lowest difficulty back then :D

[@AlphaSections]

Campaign content would be fun, I'd watch it! Plus, it would be fun to see how different our strategies are for each mission. Personally, I don't think this is the hardest mission but it's definitely challenging and fun!

[@Dr.-Dank]

From what I remember from playing this scenario ages ago, the Genoese were Byzantines.

[@xplicitmike]

Just wanted to say that I love this video! I hope you would do a full campaign series, going through each level on hard (I know there's a lot!). I would totally watch every single video!

[@JGlass14]

I would definitely like to see more Scenario content like this. When I watch pro-AoE it's really cool but there's so much about it that I will never understand because I've never played pro-AoE. But I've played the scenarios and I understand the challenges and tactics that come with them, so watching a pro handle the scenarios at the highest level is really cool.

[@wanderlost8832]

Wasn't thinking I would like the campaign play through - totally did. I vote mix in some more

These are the type of contents we need, when the regular content starts to get booring. Make some vids about water maps as well.

[@lyinarbaeldeth2456]

More campaigns please! I absolutely agree that AoE's strength is the diversity of gameplay available. I'd personally never have gotten interested in, and stuck with, the game if all it had to offer was competitive multiplayer; but with campaigns, skirmish and co-op, there's tons for me to enjoy, and through that I get the knowledge to understand what's happening when I watch the competitive people stream and cast!

I have been playing AoE2 for just under 1 year and I have over 1000 hours playing time ... 90% of that being campaign play and 10% being 1v1 against the computer. I definitely love getting value out of my units and then healing them up, but man ... I have only about 10% of your micro skills!

[@les07derEroberer]

I like how hera makes an active choice to just stand ground fight a teutonic knight with mamelukes

[@iseeyou5061]

14:40 Historicly accurate as well. Good defender are active in sallying out, not to defeat the enemy but just to slow down enemy siege progress(like say destroying that precious trebuchet that would have been useful on sieges)

The Geonese is in the Imperial Age like others but was attacking with Castle Age units. Weird.

[@matejvoslar6947]

I can do hard campaigns, but only with a lot of save-scumming. It's amazing to see someone breeze through them. I'd definitely watch more!

[@Max-ej4oh]

Oh this mission, I clutched it I remember by constantly sealing up the little opening gaps ramps around the area with walls so the AI had to stop their automatic pathing towards the wonder just to find another way which was promptly sealed again. So many rams would pop up, it was like playing a tower defense, I'll sneak cabs just to snipe the bombardier. But I was at a borrowed time, the wonder was about to go to 0, more army would appear, I was crying, hurry up I said to the wonder. And it did... I won. Thank you layers of walls on the ramp gaps messing up the computers pathing.

[@Themusefan4life]

I really enjoy watching the pro tournaments, but playing the game, I'm one of the casual campaign-only players. What sparked a new fire for me was getting to play some co-op campaigns with friends. Really hoping they will make more of them co-op, because it's been a blast.

[@rileydosh1605]

This is my favorite campaign map to use cheats on. I'd build an intricate wall above the cliffs, and then use 6 cobra cars to destroy the enemy. The trick though is that I had to keep the cars hidden (because time travel) so they had to unalive any unit that found them. I also didn't get to spawn more.

I think there is an achievement on this mission where you lash out and defeat all players without building the wonder, so I went with that while playing on the hard difficult. It was a bit a of a mirco nightmare (like keeping the Trebs and rams away). In-game time finishes at 2 to 3 hours, whole map resource exhaustion, my city got halved, save files got abused crap ton and i finally got my well earned achievement (without ever looking up for a guide/walkthrough).

I do love that AOEII requires different skill sets for different parts of the game.

Yeah I played this mission way back when and keeping the mameluke mass alive and sending them out is definitely the way.
