Professional Player vs 4 Beginners on GOLDEN PIT | AoE2

[@AngryAsian1]

So who's going to pay for my therapy?

[@6zslim627]

The gold which was in the middle 11

[@kmalley2]

your banter in the middle was funny.

[@grraf1]

Funny thing is the 4 of you could have easily gotten Hera like this: 3 players do early pressure and the mongol only booms then comes in with full elite lancer & trebs much faster then Hera can handle them... Sadly the mongol player wasted a lot of resources massing lancers in castle age and accomplishing very little with them instead of straight up booming then once in imp spam the lancers form 8+ stables at once... Hera is very resilient to melee unit raids and coming at him early with no siege doesn't do much other then getting yr own units killed off.

[@tyronejones3256]

the very threat of the lancers is what made hera not raid there bases and work more on defence and slowly pushing to the middle is my thoughts.@@grraf1

[@garetwebster5002]

@@grraf1 So you think a 1100 elo player can beat hera in post imp?

The Viper and Hera VS 6 1500

[@ruffymaru]

Easy win for the 6 1500 players. Six people is too much. It's 1200 pop against 400.

[@BadAnik11]

@@AndreLuiz-by3lg There's no way viper and hera can beat 6 1500 players. 1500 players have a good understanding of the basics. It's just too much. May be six 1250 or 1300 players would be fun to watch.

[@yozshu]

They can beat them if they are allowed 500 pop and the 6 only 200 pop each, big map and maybe 1 or 2 extra starting TCs so they're working with the same level of starting resources, only major advantage is earlier aging up so maybe just 1 extra TC.

[@ccraw235]

definitely like these kinds of games. I've watched lots of your KZbin videos over time, but these are the ones that I've been clicking the most!

[@AnimeFan-dl4qd]

Hera has to battle against an angry Asian, a Greek general, a Sith and even against a ghost... Lets hope that a Jedi prayed for him 8:20 they are right:) Pros playing with beginners/controller players can really help as an advertisement. 20:50 I knew it. If you placed some stone walls around the castle, that would not happen 5 seconds later: a yeah, I did not expect that one:D

[@gruntgg]

That game was by far the best game of these series that you've played. Really impressive display of skills! Big respect from fellow 2v6 AoE3 player few years back. Keep those coming! GG WP!

[@Y2JKB8]

Crazy strategy for this map to beat Hera, early pressure like in this game, suicide your units, you lose 3 scouts to kill a villager? it's good for your team, he doesn't leave the base until castle at least, he just can't go to the middle without a TC or a castle, then you wall his city in feudal with a lot of villagers, far from his eye, force him to use all his gold to escape, more walls around the center, walls around cities, walls everywhere, camper the walls with siege

[@testing4037]

Thank you hera, you are the only one we can see 4v1 people

[@RambinoYT]

Love these, want more! Maybe even try and add a 2v6 or 2v8 aswell with Viper would make this even more insane! Imagine Hera and Viper 2v6 2v8! BANGERS!

[@floriss9]

Hey Hera, Are you open for some friendly feedback? I noticed your voice has quite too much low frequencies. You can adjust the eq in for example your video edit software. Please cut some of the lows (250) and boost some if the highs(5k). Big fan of your content! If I can help, let me know :)

Hi Hera, great series. I play with 3 of my friends, Árni, Haukur and Hafsteinn. I would be very interested in doing a 4 v 1. But in order for me to have any kind of chance, you would have to play with them. I like my odds more passing their burden of incompetence on to you.

[@kimochi5246]

Good content here🤯

[@MsCalipo]

Well done! Castle not going up at your base between gold and stone was key and teal that didn't want to engage. Losing so many vills like grey and green while dropping at their elo lvl is equal to not having any army at all. The pace of a 1100 elo maybe would have been the same, but the focus different. Attacking on 3 sides would have done the trick or at least stall the time to go to the middle. Green and grey should have gone for army in Castle age instead of going up.

Watching this game live, you can tell the lack of shared exploration and lack of team positions really messed with the team cohesion. Guess now you need to win some 1 v 5's

[@JunSian1001]

The teamwork was really lacking. Hera would have been crushed with a flanking move and pincher attack from front and side (base).😂

[@silversrayliegh5924]

They should've planned for one slinger in pocket. Who will boom and sling resources. They haven't watched the showmatches I guess. Or Viper's Black forest games.

[@kroztungproductions2004]

Imagine Hera getting douched by four players at the same time. Would be impossible to counter? 😂

[@zazo100]

This might honestly be a winning strat even with only 2 noobs. One goes Persian douche, second goes full in feudal

[@jordivermeulen2519]

@@zazo100 I feel like at this level, if you douche with only one player, you're just going to get styled on... walled out, with no place to put your TC, and all your vills trapped. Look at what happened to the initial donjon rush in this game, for instance.

[@Peter-sYnet]

Love these vids tbh

[@dungoofed6792]

Absolutely insane on heras part. Regardless of ELO this is super difficult. I’m wondering why none of the other players flanked and attacked his eco guarded by only palisades from the sides? Not saying he couldn’t counter it but diverted attention would be the key in this situation considering the middle was hopeless

Please Hera, next time you do one of these make sure that who ever is host plays on proper internet and not some Wifi from Burger King and also someone who plays on a PC and not a Laptop, it was so choppy and laggy to watch at times. Still a sick vid, so just some criticism for next time! Please you host the games :D

[@jordivermeulen2519]

I think it's irrelevant who hosts, the game is running on a server. Just one potato PC/connection is enough to cause lag.

[@thelastgreataudit8112]

Have you considered playing an exhibition against 1 non-pro or lower-ranked pro *but* they have unlimited pauses? Your APM (and credit where its due, skill) is like nothing I've ever seen, but how would you fare against against an old school, old man strategist like DauT when he has all the time he needs to strategize?

[@jordivermeulen2519]

The "problem" (I put that in quotes because he's obviously doing quite well in most tournaments) for players like Daut isn't that they don't have enough time to think. When Daut loses, it's usually because he is a bit too greedy (too many TCs too early, sending one or two vills less than needed to build a castle, etc), or because he gets outmicro'd in an archer fight.

[@thelastgreataudit8112]

Fair call. Would still be fun to see, no?@@jordivermeulen2519

[@RiskyDramaUploads]

Maybe time for AoE2:DE to indicate after the game when someone has disconnected and won't receive chat messages anymore

[@Jartran72]

I was lowkey kinda mad that Hera ignored the relic all game. When Gold was going to be his biggest worry longterm. One chapel + 1 priest could have gotten him thousands over the whole game.

would be cool if the people participating got their money back if theyre under 1k elo and actually manage to win :D

Helllo, I watch your videos and i like them. If you can turn the volume up on ur voice will be great. Thank you⚡️

[@Ryan-mw9pm]

These are soo good

[@RiskyDramaUploads]

Only things I would recommend: build barracks between players to help with raiding, once you've teched into eagles. Less time spent running, more time spent fighting. Especially if you're going to just execute villagers, then you won't mind losing the ones you send to build. Pre-wall castle builders when you know there are large cavalry armies around. You don't always have time to react to them. Don't be afraid to put ranged units inside those temporary walls. More scouting for enemy armies. Like making a few plumed archers just to act as scouts for when you moved out to castle the center.
