A Pro Starting With 10000 Gold vs 7 Players | AoE2

[@lebombjahames9987]

'i didn't have the gold for it' (loom) 😂

[@why_wait]

Too busy making vils ❤

[@garsboite3461]

lmfao

[@Richardjohnpaulmyers]

😂😂😂😂

[@Kocerhebun]

Bro i am watching you and it makes me so happy. This content is so good but 200 pop is not enough please get more pop in game like this

[@hughparsonage4446]

Thanks for this Hera. I'm playing Viper in a $50,000 tourny later tonight and usually don't get ballistics. I'll let you know how it goes.

[@markovasic8319]

Respect man

[@1Goldie]

Yeah I'm having dinner with King Charles later, not sure if I'll need ballistics

[@BrentTJo]

Went and checked he lost TTL 2 and Warlords to viper end of 22 and start of 23 right before he started his S tier dominance. Prof ballistics was the key.

[@anubhavsethi9536]

@@1Goldie 🤣🤣🤣

[@hughparsonage4446]

Update: got Elite War Elephant rushed while on the way up to Castle Age

[@Crawsack]

It honestly is crazy how slanted the game can look in your favor and suddenly it's completely the opposite. Armenians is a tough civ to carry like that, especially vs Franks and Mongols!

[@Vengeance622]

Do a 1 vs 7 as Mongols and roleplay like Genghis Khan and only using Mangudais 🤣 The destruction would be hilarious.

[@furtfurt]

Yes, your opponents should be Chinese, Persian, Saracen, Turks, Goths, Tatars, Cumans. Start off with fortress walls to keep them safe till castle age.

[@raphaelcarre6144]

Hera is so good he even doesn't care about the number of enemies, also his dark age is extremely clean, not to mention he's tired. and he didn't have the gold for loom lmao

[@discoepfeand]

You're pretty good about throwing in witty comments while playing and narrating. Thanks for the vid!

[@sabrinagross6090]

Its nice to see you have new ideas, so it gets not boring :)

[@Ottocide]

I thinkk if you just had 100 extra pop, this would be closer. 200 pop v 1400 pop is a wild challenge. Im so excited for your next attempt!

[@demosthenes614]

Other ideas for making this type of game mode interesting: * if you destroy someone's starting town center they are defeated (but this doesn't apply to you) * if someone drops below 20 villagers in castle age, they are defeated * you start with extra vills and/or town center * your buildings cost 50% as much wood * you start in Fuedal Age

[@Jartran72]

With the extra 10k gold or not? Because then it would be way too stacked for him. But without.. maybe this could be good. There is certainly way more content to come with this.

[@volcanic_sloth]

the tc thing is kind of dumb, there are many situations when the starting tc is done but you're still completely fine 20 vils minimum is dumb too, it makes castle drops very risky and 20 vils can still boom back if you're only being harrassed and not completely destroyed extra starting vils i can't complain about(but not tc, that's overpowered) cheaper builings make booming incredibly powerful starting in feudal age is kinda pointless but ok

[@AH17293]

​@@volcanic_slothCalling the suggestions dumb is a bit harsh. Also the idea behind their suggestions is to allow Hera to remove some players with a fast push. In the current format it's impossible as anyone who gets attacked early can run and reboom. It's near impossible to beat 2 to 3 players who make it to Imp. Let alone when there are still 7 players thus forcing players to defend their starting TC would enable Hera to remove players early. Even then it's unlikely he can push that advantage that well before he's facing 3 fully boomed players.

[@volcanic_sloth]

@@AH17293 you're suggesting it to be impossible to reboom even after just being raided, removing players early by slowly destroying their tcs doesn't sound early, that would just be overpowered by allowing hera to snipe tcs but not killing off players. the only reasonable way to disallow players from rebooming is to force them to resign after they lose all of their tcs at home or are left with less than 8-10 vils(that way you must have at least 1 tc near your starting point which eliminates any attempts at escaping into the pockets and also allows heavily raided/castledropping players to continue living after losing a lot of vils) and even then, hera can win in a 1v7 with just the extra pop space, if he loses 1 game, that deosn't mean he loses all of them

[@Maronijogurt]

i love infantry bc it's hard to pull off and also very satisfying. great game, watching you boom so smooth makes me feel comfortable 😂

[@Jartran72]

You came close than I thought. They ha their favorite civs, super late game heavy too + you got no extra pop and a random civ. Was a great game to watch for sure.

[@sidewayswalrus]

No extra pop is wild!!! Super excited to see how this turns out lol

[@coryconley7598]

Best part of my day.. and I mean the BEST part is clicking on a new Hera video

[@ninjitsu3201]

I love watching your games and learning from you. Top content!

[@Michal235]

Hey Hera, have you ever played Game of Thrones mod? It's called Clash of Kings (SoTL made a video about it very recently), it's for 8 players. If not, it would be legendary to watch you playing it :) I had lots of fun watching you play the lotr scenario recently and to me the GoT one is even better. I got into it just few days ago, played 4 games and managed to win one, it was the best, the best experience I've ever had in aoe2 :) you could even play with your viewers for the best experience and the coolest climate.

[@skdword]

WOW heras so good how did he do that

[@respawwn]

In Feudal Age, you should attack the player right next to you and then work your way from there (counter) clockwise, until all 7 of them are in one spot fighting for the same ressources while trying to stay alive

[@noahmiller91]

Wow, Hera is so good, how did he do that!? And so many times!

[@BreezeTalk]

im so glad he references good cod games

[@jonynos16]

Loved that you tryed infantry. Good video idea, maybe more pop is needed?

[@CornBredCrusader]

Really good game. Think it was a throw booming to imp instead of going for like 3 TC into buying a bunch of longswords in castle age to take out someone and then work clockwise across the map. Not making any units until imp+5 with Armenians is a really poor decision

[@lavacape]

Hi Hera, nice game -- tense moments thus far . . .GIVE IT BACK! Hahaha

[@zokora3656]

pretty cool idea. maybe try the same but you are able to pick civ vs 7 random civs?

[@kennethyoung4973]

No headset if you can is the way to go. Pinching your ears all day, plus the sweaty head right where the headphones sit

[@IfonlyIwassmaller]

20 games a day at Hera’s elo is WILD. I’m surprised he can even think AT ALL! 😅😅

[@noxious8]

I think You need more popspace. You were max pop at minute 29. GG!

[@IfonlyIwassmaller]

“My body’s not going through any changes.” 😂😂😂

[@IronbornBTW]

@5:50 WOW Hera is so good, how did he do that??

[@conradkruger1740]

Maybe when you hit castle age just take a few vills and buy a castle or two in people's base (while they are still feudal age)

[@dupsmckracken]

look, mom. I'm on TV! Thanks for the games. Love your content. I wish data packs worked with Xbox players. would have loved to be able to give you more pop and a neutral market or something to give you gold. I honestly would have found it hilarious if you had summoned a cobra car.

[@madtree933]

12:22 best joke of the video

[@markovasic8319]

Yoo hera is amazing wow, how is he that good

[@chewbacca4322]

honestly your boom should be even more greedy, like abuse market to hit 5-6 tc´s instantly after fc abuse, also extra pop needed even if it just 300 to take proper fights with proper deathball comps

[@chewbacca4322]

also i feel like you lose way too many of those 1v x games cause you don´t play the extra pop, like we all know you are him but you can´t play properly 200 pop vs like 600+ or in this case 1400 pop, like even full pop 700 scouts no upgrades on the field would ruin your day every time cause you can´t be everywhere with standard 200 pop

[@franzenz8994]

I would leave it all the same but change your max population to something like 300 to be able to battle more fronts without sacrificing villagers or waiting for new units

[@BenL-k2y]

I would have picked spanish in this game. Conquistador is great. Have 50 paladin. 10 conquistador. 4 cavalry monks for healing. this allows you to move super fast, go city to city taking down buildings with cavalry massacre vil with conquistador and next city. Red and orange, no need to destroy them, just gotta stall their econ a bit, focus on purple and hoot

[@johnsmith3548]

Honestly this should be higher pop limit for solo player as otherwise you inevitably lose just to pop cap not being able to keep up to the other players

[@TheHonoredOne9070]

Hera do you think you'd be able to fend of against this strat: 3 players send their scouts to lame ur sheeps. 2 Players send their 3 vills to get your boars killed. 2 players focus on getting fast feudal and scout rush.

[@CoconutJewce]

Would've loved to see the cobras come out. lmao

[@YoungBoy-le6yi]

Wow you are so good! HOW DID YOU DO THAT

[@JensenAoE]

- Hi, have you seen the video? - Ter im tagavor

[@Stikarii]

The tech to reduce market costs would have paid off so fast

[@danielmorrison5509]

Why not idle TC in dark age a little to get the market faster. Would have been an even faster castle age, and then bought imp right as your hit castle age primarly to get all eco upgrades and full boom. Plus allow picking up range upgrades early in case they had offered early pressure. Also bought more churches to maximize eco efficiency and get as much pop for milliarty as quickly as possible. Love infintry!iency and get as much pop for milliarty as quickly as possible. Love infintry!

[@scootalong4254]

Wow! Hera’s so good!! How did he do that?!

[@estebanmaraboli4729]

You did great!

[@burritos.jake97]

Woah yes do again soon!

[@Ryan-mw9pm]

They should have scout rushed with their 7 combined scouts at the beginning of the game 😂

[@nicolasbouchard2715]

I belive one if the easiest way ti win fir the 7player team would be to go all drush. 21 milita coming in base would be brutal

[@DidYaServe]

I like infantry. It's the bread and butter of AOE.

[@theastuteangler]

how do you set up building sequence for villagers??

[@BenL-k2y]

haha looks like a fun game, the mistake was focusing too much attention taking out the noobs next door. purple and boot were up there for a long time, should have just rushed them during castle age, stall their econ. Imperial age wipe them out. Whoever imp you attack whom. You have all the privelege at the start. The longer the game, the less advantage you have. On the other hand, if i was facing you, i would come into feudal and drop a tc next to yours. Though i may not win because you have the gold to buy whatever, but i can stall valuable time for teammates to get strong.

[@jacobwood3326]

WOW Hera is so good, how did he do that???

[@respawwn]

In normal games, Hera can't wait to rush and destroy his opponent as quickly as possible. But in 1v7, Hera waits as long as he can before he attacks anybody. Makes sense ... but not if you are playing for the win. Just my 2 cents ...

[@mrwalter7205]

I'm dying to see everyone APM side by side

[@philhull6606]

Can I just point out that, I know the Xbox symbol doesn't necessarily mean they are playing on Xbox. But the chances are he is and that flare you saw us an Xbox bug that's been there since day one. You can't flare on Xbox without everyone in the game seeing it, no matter what your chat settings are on.

[@Jartran72]

Hey about we repeat this but you get an extra 1k food, 1k wood, 5k gold and 2k stone with 300 pop? Then your start would be insane enough to actually do this. Atleast with a little chance.

[@SCCH286]

I would have liked you having the extra pop!

[@lordadamson]

i guess to make it more even you play saracens and increase the pop to 400 maybe

[@djpichurria7753]

After watching this video, I have zero losses against Viper in tournament finals.

[@untitled55354]

Try this challenge again BUT with 20k gold

[@seba9705]

Wow hera's so good how did he do that?

[@fwzikurdistan7345]

If infantry gets a buff in the next patch, hera should stop considering retirement.

[@why_wait]

Honestly if infantry had +2 pierce armour they would be so much better

[@pedrocarvalho7480]

with just 200 pop and infitine resources u should spam bbt

[@martiner4439]

You should set your pop to 400 next time!

[@OgedeiKhanOKOK]

wow Hera is so good, how did he made me type this ??

[@Joliie]

I bet it felt gooood to get Hera to resign, even with the odds stacked against you :)

[@Memphisko]

without pop boost, you'll have to cook like a michellin chef. you can do it, but it may take a few tries. 11 gg

[@rentabledwarf578]

32:20 That do be what the germans did

[@Klautsche]

rematch with adjusted pop space for you? :D

[@joelbrandao4]

Now make the same one with the other 7 starting with 10000 gold instead

[@MeanderingMikesManCave]

that was a great game!

[@tobiasobermayr501]

think strat here should be to amass 50knights asap and then wreck 7 TCs, 1 per minute.

[@tobiasobermayr501]

bc. in castle age you should have like 100 vills, 50 knights and all the techs vs. people with just minimum army. You can even take out castles and be one big train of destruction! Can't wait to imp vs. 7 with 200 pop

[@ObiwanNekody]

I missed this one, silly algorithm

[@inquisidiego]

you needed the extra pop. Otherwise even with saracens idk if its possible

[@joshuamorris9050]

Just in time for my lunch break

[@louispearson8306]

need increased POP SPACE!

[@tomasznych9002]

"How to get rich? Just invest your first million" That one hit so close home for a millenial 🤣

[@BlackRainEntertain]

its not about winning game in these games, its about gaining via training. you're micro has to come from somewhere.

[@FerRangel-t6t]

Please, the same but with Huns!

[@crawling0204]

i had no loom! i had no gold for it! typical Hera in a 10k gold setup game🤣

[@Inerpatiner]

Is Dark Age scout rushing allowed? They could probably ruin you before minute 5 with 7 starting scouts right?

[@Y2JKB8]

At one point you had 7000 food, you need some coaching

[@harshashow7105]

if anyone below 1500 has crazy army, you can just defeat them by going onager/SO, if u go with enough numbers they can't micro their army and just die. Thats the win condition for you in these sort of games. Your SO target fire is crazy

[@bigboybaz2586]

This again but no fog of war for hera would be a closer match

[@IHittusl]

can we get some hype in the chat for heras haircut.

[@blakdfje]

Against many players you need extra pop I think. Or else a couple will always survive and reach 200 pop

[@EneldoSancocho]

Actually the ¨hardest AI¨ in the conquerors can get to castle by around 9 minutes, without cheating of course...

[@attilathechilla.1383]

would have been a wrap if he had 300+ pop. also if Armenians had siege ram.

[@Xfire560]

Hera vs 7 but you start with a cobra car

[@SAUL_GOOFYMAN]

omg hera how have you done that

[@MrGangi78]

A child of light playing an age of empire, lol

[@dylanfalk3243]

Wow Hera is so good, how did he do that?

[@MrGodlyPro]

Lol at joke at 17:25

[@Perpetual_Eden]

200 pop cap was probs unfair

[@vaibhavgupta9627]

hey, if 1 on 7 , do pop boost, or do smaller map, so u can push fast n quick.. i would like to see this in ur favour on a smaller map..

[@jim83213]

If you had gotten saracens on the random.

[@andreluiz-bz1iw]

Why no skimmers ??? Would solve the mangudai problem

[@chuy27arts]

I think the best strat is to go all in castle and kill players honestly

[@noahmiller91]

I love infantry! ❤😂
