Looking back on some of your pre-Rise of the Rajas videos (Teutons, Mongols and Japanese being the big ones), I think it is time to remake them. Some changes have been made in recent patches and in the latest expansion.

[@TheGloriousLobsterEmperor]

When Rise of the Rajas came out, one of my favourite strategies on Bog Islands was to start dropping Harbors offensively on your opponent. They were cheap and spammable mini-castles and I love them. Not as viable after the nerf, but I'd still recommend trying it at least once.

[@Izandaia]

That sounds hilarious. Maybe not good, but hilarious.

[@erickauffmann_official]

I tried that! it's great

[@hanstorehindrum6436]

It was quite viable in the BoA semi-final between TyRanT and Suomi. I believe it was the Donut game that was pretty much won with that strat

[@TheGloriousLobsterEmperor]

Trick is you throw down all them THICC Harbours (I can't stand not spelling it "Harbors") and just spam Fire Ships/Demo Ships and wreck everything they ever control. Harbours are also amazing for defense. They're 125 wood mini-castles. The trick is, you throw up LOADS of them. As in, at least 50 per Fishing Ship.

[@TheHaighus]

The wood-only cost combined with infinite fish traps means you can really spam harbours. I like to play them offensively too- if at least 50% of the available coastline doesn't have a harbour, I consider it vulnerable... :D

[@jerymaster]

I think something we sometime forget, is that you can produce fishing ships WHILE producing villagers, when your economy is high enought. That in itself is a pretty good economy boost arround the mid-game since you will have more ressources gatherer than you could with only forums, making the fish trap use even more usefull. Good video again Spirit!

[@micahbush5397]

Even now, with the Malay fish traps reduced to 3X the food, they still give a food:wood conversion of 32:1. By comparison, even Teutons with a Chinese ally max out at 16.8 food per 1 wood invested.

Hey I'm gonna be real, I've played this game for years now as a casual player, and I've never been good at it, but like, watching your videos so much and getting back into the game, I'm actually steadily improving my performance thanks to your videos, so I just wanna say thank you for that! I used to play my favourite civ (Malay) so ineffectively but now I'm actually learning to really take advantage of the civ's strengths And also thanks to you I actually started using onagers. For a long time I've had reservations about the onager because of high cost and friendly fire damage, but after hearing you praise the onager so much, I actually try them out, pairing them with the Malay trash infantry, and holy crap am I happy I decided to give the onager another try. I can definitely say now that they're my favourite part of any army because of how strong they are against literally any unit, even ships, So yeah, thanks for being a huge inspiration to keep playing!

[@GuilhermeMiranda89]

Amazing vid Spirit. Malay is, probably, my favorite civ of the newest DLC. They're stables are awful, but i love to play with them on water maps or Black Forest if i have some ponds near. The only problem with this civ is that they don't have a strong unit, so always i get them on Michi or long team Black Forest games it's total loss.

[@AyushPandey]

Hey Spirit! Great video as always. A suggestion - How about including like a 30 second prologue in each civ overview video about their history/interesting facts etc..

[@kemosonicfan123lbp]

Ah finally, i've been waiting for this for so long, my favourite civ

[@Khotgor]

I think you are missing the potential of an Anti-Goth Civ here. For one, the Battle Elephants have Trample and are both extremely thick and powerful in comparison to most units, and for the Malay, even without the armour/health bonuses, the cheapness makes them easier to pump out. Second, they have infinite food if there is any body of water, and almost every game, including Arabia and Black Forest, always has a pond or so, so a Malay player can always get an infinite amount of food even when wood is lacking. Third, they get near infinite Two-Handed Swordsmen, that has all of the upgrades even if they are not champions, and when against Goths where they still depend on Gold, Goth's also lack a single armour upgrade. Four, the Goth Infantry is their main go of being better than most Civs once they reach that point, yet Malay pretty much removes the threat of the three infantry: Huskarls the anti-archers, Halberdiers then anti-calvary, and Champions the bomb. Both the Huskarls and Champions cost gold, and the Malay can easily outspam them with infinite Two-Handed Swordsmen and Pirates that are cheaper than Champions by half and less population. Throw in some Battle Elephants, and the generic Goth player is eaten up. Not to mention Malay still have better defenses, monks, and archers in comparison to the Goths.

[@zeroyuki92]

Wait, I thought Battle Elephants don't have trample? Only War Elephants does

[@Valtamjarl]

Battle Elephants do have trample, but its effect is smaller compared to the War Elephant's.

[@Khotgor]

ageofempires.wikia.com/wiki/Battle_Elephant Read the first paragraph, end sentence. They function the same as Trample Damage for War Elephants; Trample Damage deals half the damage that their normal damage does, unlike Cataphracts/Slav Infantry, where it's just 5 Damage.

[@zeroyuki92]

Thanks for the info, I somehow remembered it wrongly

[@candrarazaka4351]

i think goth champions and halberdiers are still much better in terms of cost-efficiency (since champion cost is only 39f/13g) and you can use more halberdiers to remove their elephants without spending too much resources. i know sometimes both are good against each other, maybe because of a different situation or maps.

[@nswhorse]

My favourite civ, though I am getting sick of being nerfed every damned patch. The Elite Karambits have been triple nerfed (-1 pierce armour, which really sucks when trying to swarm castles or tcs, and -1 attack twice), and the Harbors were also nerfed (significantly slower fire rate). The fish traps were also originally free, and the age advancement was originally 100% faster. And all that was given as compensation was slightly cheaper shitty elephants with no bloodlines or armour and +1 attack for the non-elite Karambits.

The availability of Heresy might be reflecting about how the Malays are known to be strong with their religion/belief. According to Marmaduke Dodsworth in his research about Christianity and the Malays, The Malays are the hardest of all races to be converted, especially the Malays in the Malay peninsula. And even now, in Malaysia it is illegal for one of another religion to propagate among the Malays, and the Malays are specifically defined as Muslims in the Federal Constitution. It's a very interesting addition for them to add, very small detail yet for the Malays, they know about this. Well, if this _is_ the reason xD

I really like the Special Malay build order when the Starting TC is close to water. You can build so many docks and outpace the others by a large gap to fast imperial at 20:00. In case you have teammates to protect you because you still need to research 13 techs to fully train trash double handed swordsmen. Perfect! Spam those swordsmen as long as your opponent isn't using any Mongol like super Cav Archers or quick Mayan Archers. You can counter them with another trash - the Elite Skirmishers. Brilliant, I tried this on 1v1 and got killed when hitting castle age... Hate feudal rushes T_T

[@khazix4833]

Oh damn, Spirit just upload a video!!!

[@Fdaikk]

Love your videos you made me start playing aoe2 again

[@FunkyDocter]

BIG MENTION: (malay is my favorite civ - fishships my favorite unit) you can place usually 9 fish traps around a dock right next to it. it works. and it has instant drop off. i didnt do the numbers but its better than 29 f/min i think after gillnets. Though!!! there is a bug problem. there is usualy one of the ships which bug out and must be retasked (it stops when having 4 food. allso it can bug out if you build 2 fishtraps side by side. even worse with 3. i usually build 1 on each side wait for them to finish up then i build again. else you risk the old boat blocking the building. But its manageble. but yes you can build docks with 2 tiles between and fill up a littel pond with many fishing ships. Usually i get 40+ fishships on bf - especially on teamgames if there is a medium pond. there is higher chance for that in teamgames. with more than that i find it a bit hard to manage the bugs but i think i have tried 60 some times. my advice is: dock as usual. (allso if you have to walk vill far - guard with scout if not on easiest mode. then keed creating fish boats. i think you should wait making 2. dock you need for space. to keep castle time good and gain acces to gillnets. - a musthave. after you click castle focus on geting the fish ships out to manage the bugs before you need to micro elsewhere. On open maps i havent tested a lot. maybe dont build them close because of bug. build 9 still but with 1 tile between. it makes far lesser bugs, but less good. and ofc get the harbor upgrade. on nomad the fishtrap bonus is very good because you can justify making tons of fishships because its ok to go fishtraps afterwards

[@FunkyDocter]

could you maybe do some testing about how to get the least buggy way to make the fishtraps in addition to effficiency? - btw you can max get gillnets 4 times in 9x/256x tech mode. after that it starts bug out for real. actually making some really wierd bugs. Allso dont do wheelburrow more than i think it was 23 times, then your vills cant really build proberly

I'd say the fish trap bonus is most overpowered on maps with small lakes, so they can't be raided by ships.

In most cases those things are so small that you can just kill them with archers or onagers instead. Also, they're randomly distributed around the map, so typically not in any safe area. Still, a bonus is a bonus - every bit helps.

In my country, Indonesia, we didn't lose because of their weapon superiority, we could steal some of their weaponry or counter them with classic-but-effective weapons such as archery and cavalry, the only factor we lose just because those colonialists bribed some of our fellows to betray their people and work for their benefits, the colonialists made us fight each other

[@BrendanBomanTheSwagnificent]

It is actually basically also what happened in the siege in Malacca. According to historians, the Portuguese' greatest ships were not able to defeat the Malaccan navy. And how they defeated us was by finding a traitor in the Malaccan sultanate and destroy it from the inside. As what the old Malay people always say, a grand tree cannot be cut down just by using the head of an axe, but requires a branch from that tree which shall be inserted into the head of the axe as the handle, and only then the tree can fall. A great empire cannot fall, unless if the people inside the empire bring it down.

Im a Malay myself i never heard of karambit warrior in our history. We have kriss warrior and our unique ship is Jong ship.

[@adinnaikhwani6255]

Karambit warrior is in srivijaya history and after majapahit took over sumatra, and also when srivijaya still ruled malacca strait, they spread the karambit, that's the reason there's karambit in thailand, malaysia, singapore (temasek) even philippines While in java, especially ancient java, they produced one of the unique knive, kris, which is spreading across nusantara, it goes to thailand (southern), philippines, malaysia, singapore, brunei, and is in fact being used by sultanate of aceh, demak sultanate, and sultanate of makassar (although still in debate in makassar because the evidence is little)

@@niessin1483 this archipelago has only 2 empires in its pre modern history out of hundreds of kingdoms. The first was Srivijaya with Malay culture based in sumatera Island. The second was Majapahit with Javanese culture based on java island. Just like in other parts of the world, while they are compete in superiority aspect in the region, they also intermarried and create a strong bonds and connection throughout and share along their history

Great as always!!!

The other think that needs to be noted is that cheaper battle elephants combined with Forced Levy Two Handed Swordsmen are very scary in large quantities and very hard to counter cost effectively with anything less than a wall of heavy cavalry or seige units.

It always struck me as odd that the only civ that's regarded as a Naval civ and nothing else, has no combat navy bonuses (aside from Harbors).

Thank you for this video.

[@teddys5775]

the only civ where t might actually be a good idea to build a dock in a puddle

[@Volcano4981]

Japanese too, with their higher collection rate, and better food/wood ratio than Farms on account of them missing Crop Rotation. Though, it's *that* much more OP with Malay for obvious reasons :p

[@FuelDropforthewin]

As a Malay player I just line the shore with harbors. Quantity over quality.

[@pokefuranku]

It's not the best defense, but is pretty cheap.

[@pavise6333]

I bult harbor even in valley where small ponds can be found just for the sake of defense

[@FuelDropforthewin]

@@pokefuranku It also means that if you need to suddenly produce ships in huge numbers you can drown practically anyone else with your insane production since, you know, you had a bunch of harbors sitting around as budget towers anyway. again, quantity over quality is the name of the game with Malay.
