Hatamoto Samurai are INSANE!! AoE III

[@SamuraiRevolution]

Hello everyone!! This week is my transition back to college - please bear with me as I move back into my apartment! I appreciate your patience, because I have not been able to upload at the usual times. (The last FFA matches have taken forever to process) With all of that being said, I am doing my best to continuing to make content during hectic times in my life. Thank you for all of your support. I am excited to get back into rhythm this semester. I love you all! SR

[@roxashikari3725]

Ah, yeah...not looking forward to being back in high school. Annoying as hell, man. That being said, take as much time as you need. I know how much of a pain in the ass school is in general. Best of luck on getting everything set up, and thank you for the content you make! P.S. I have a bit of a challenge for you once you're done with everything: play a deathmatch as Japan. I think it'd be interesting to see, given that--as far as I'm aware--you haven't played such a game yet. Not to mention, Japan seems to be relatively slow early game, and I'm fairly certain that that period of time is much more crucial in deathmatch games than in supremacy ones.

[@asharabedi8389]

I was the teal guy (Anonymous99). Great video man and one hell of a game lol!

[@lordinquis2677]

Ashar Abedi who won the game??

[@Joshuamrsnrub325]

Bro. I’m GandolftheWhite7 and I’ve played u like three times this month

[@sanunanda]

where do you guys play. I wanna join online gaming as well but I don't know where to go to

[@asharabedi8389]

I did. @atharv

[@asharabedi8389]

Its on Steam bro, buy Age of Empires 3 the complete collection there and make an ESO account. @Santanu

[@adrianS005]

Just watched it and gotta say I am so sorry for red. He was true MVP doing extreamly good in this unfair fight. Good video as always.

[@barbiquearea]

Yes finally you made a video for the Hatamoto Samurai. My prayers have been answered.

[@ivanstrydom8417]

I love the Japanese! Samurai,Yumi and Naginata cavalry are some of my favorite unites. Ikimas Japan!

[@robbielockwood6889]

Enjoyed watching this game from different perspective, I was the the noob pink guy c:

[@KingOskar4]

Robbie Lockwood If so, I wonder when did you said in-game chat "Do you feel my pain?"

[@KingOskar4]

Robbie Lockwood Wait, it was at 14:54 and you attacked blue player despite having significanly less score and resources than him. Interesting.

[@robbielockwood6889]

King_Oskar No? I got rushed by red straight away and wasn’t able to do anything until you saw my axe riders go in for red

[@Klugger]

At 44:00 you proved that not only you're a noob but also an ass doing 3v1

[@RANKSUCLIN]

1:04:29 Hatamoto Samurai vs Exalted Samurai Nice Fight !!!

[@justjoe5373]

All of you were good but props to red, he was crazy good with that 4v1, constant pressure and he lasted that long, and even gave you hell. His messages were a little bit weird, complaining about the 4v1, but I believe it was all just for fun and that he wasn't actually malding. I know I'd be way saltier than him with that onslaught for sure lol (I get salty even with AI becouse I'm a complete noob but still). And yes the Hatamoto are insane, if they didn't cost that much export per unit they'd be OP. First time I saw them when playing TAD I was like what the hell dude, how am I supposed to make enough export for a single squad of them with recruiting other units and buying the upgrades, let alone use them in an army? But then I got 10 of them and I saw how ridiculous they are by themselves, and I saw that losing one is a big deal becouse it costs so much to replace, that's when I started using healers becouse normal units are expendable when you get the economy going

[@adarshkesharwani4268]

Oh man! I never thought that hatamoto could be so OP. This FFA is the on I wanted to see. Lot of fun in this. And the holy red played very good. Nice work samurai ( no hatamoto) 😂😂😂😂

[@grandmasterglatze6135]

I love the samurai action at 59:45 !

[@FrancisDashwood1]

The Consulate Crossbowmen have those kind of outfits because they are Guard level, specifically Royal Guard units of Portugal, only possible to upgrade through the Church Card Portugal has. Just letting you know if you didn't know it already! Love the video!

[@SamuraiRevolution]

That makes sense! You never see them with Portugal, unfortunately:/

[@FrancisDashwood1]

SamuraiRevolution Yeah and also there is no way for them to get the Imperial upgrade. Kind of sad, literally the one unit in the game you can't get to Imperial status :/

[@James-xu6sc]

HATAMOTO! I was the guy screaming it in the last video!! Yes! They are so worth the 4 pop!

[@blackbeard9962]

Dude red was a great player but the way you saved your vills from him in the base attack at first was really great

[@jamesmarsh9739]

How do you train units in groups rather than having to click for each individual unit. I’ve been seeing you do it for awhile now and I can’t figure out how

[@SamuraiRevolution]

James Marsh Hold shift

[@chompysaid204]

The Ikko-Ikki do the instant kill more often in melee, faster attack speed. Think it is called mountain warrior, cool card but luck dependent on finding good treasures to double.

[@betolicks4071]

Didn't know about that faster speed and more critical strikes this game doesn't detail all the home cities card actually enable plus the treasures only works for recurve and xp not units

[@jonaschristiansen5909]

YAAAAAAS You used natives! Also, great vid!

[@mickeyrace873]

Red getting that defensive pact is honestly hilarious man, although dude is surely salty as hell about it

[@dansil92]

Red just killin it haha russia is always insane late game- loved the hatomoto insanity! Really wish you had that card 'empress dowager' or whatever that turns your coin into export so you could truly spam them! I dont understand why you made mortars lol your infantry had so much seige? should have used yabusame against the artillery spam they have an 8 (!) Times multiplier its insane how good they are against artillery- anyways good game as always and i hope i can play you sometime during your japan review in a 1v1 or FFA!

[@damelyngdoh2370]

I would've lost a game with a Russian Op sneak attack, but I had a hunch the guy was gonna make a sneak attack coz he was not spamming as many units as Russia can, so I had 5 Hatamoto back at home base. They cleaned up quite well. After that, I had so much respect for these dudes :D

[@jakubmalinowski1474]

fun fact: ronin shipment for gold makes hatamotos from council way worse, probably unintended bug

[@yogeshmaheshwari3819]

Lel I knew hatamoto are OP but i felt they were not pop effective. I was so wrong :P Those green and purple samurais were annihilated :P Great game.

[@Make_Bands]

I’ll be returning to reck havoc once again

[@Napoleon_Warpath]

Nice battle keep it up👍🏽

[@R3cKLeSS14]

Great vid!

[@TastyBaldEagle]

What's the meta on increasing export in exchange for resources? Or do I have to make a spreadsheet to see for myself

[@Starwars6012]

More FFA’s please

[@parimalakumarir4406]

Another ffa. great gameplay.you are always the pro gamer in aoe 3 like ninja in fortnite.

[@arik6561]

Turkish Solders are OP to me they kinda kill every ranged solder against them (Not Artillery) and plus they have cool swords..

[@titaniumxete97]

How do you have 4 options for allies in the Japanese consulate? When I play I only have 2, Portuguese and Japan. Is it some kind of shipment?

[@purplecosmonaut]

It's related to your home city level. You get another option at level 20, if I'm not mistaken and the fourth one pops up a little while later.

[@True_Communism]

Level 25 you get dutch, and at level 40 you get Spanish.

[@VoltigeurGT]

Hey Samurai! I just have one thing to say so far: you've got your japanese wrong. Your thumbnail's right, but the title and desc say "hamatomo" instead of "hatamoto". Sorry if i'm being annoying, but i'm that kind of guy who can't just leave a mistake like that go :D

[@SamuraiRevolution]

Thank you my friend!! I did not catch it honestly XD A true friend always points out the areas for help

[@davidfraga754]

Beaumont The Frenchie it's Say hatamomo

[@VoltigeurGT]

No prob my dude 👍 The names of all the units can get a bit confuzzling sometimes :DD

[@SamuraiRevolution]

I fixed it :)

[@RafaelCosta-oi3be]

Almost felt sorry for red, but got a feeling he's that guy who spams imperial opris and gets all your houses when you're on the other side of the map; so no mercy haha

[@SamuraiRevolution]

Mmmhmm!!

[@keenanwalker6597]

Wow red was one tough son of a bitch. Even 1 vs 4 he still almost pushed through.

[@davidvance623]

They have almost 1.5k hitpoints in Imperial Age with Daimyo I say nothing more

[@LisaxKonbu]

Hilarious gameplay gj

[@SamuraiRevolution]

Thanks!!

[@jacobsurabian6597]

Love the FFA games and all the politics that go on lol

[@nanieve4296]

Hamotomo, Homatomo, Hatotomo, Hotamoto,

[@Lesquidliestone]

So many great things about the Japanese, but hatamotos still come out on top. So many games single-handedly won by them. I still vividly remember when I had a squad of like 8 hatamotos blaze through an opposing Japanese base and onto a Dutch base. Dutch sent 40 ruyters assuming they could handle my squad, but mis-microed for a second and my squad _one shot_ the entire group of ruyters. Instant resign.

[@hnaf9936]

"all nation vs Russia" y mean german in ww1 and 2?

[@sethboy1274]

What did you do at 11:23? Bind the troops to numbers? How did u do it?

[@SamuraiRevolution]

Control + 1

[@AFTV117]

Wha was that "Ragnarok"? XD 1:28:00

[@eRektB00K3NDS69]

May I get a timecode for when the Hatamotos go to work?

[@Parsa.bakshi]

What a game

[@instantshutdown9640]

How did you age up for cheaper?

[@SamuraiRevolution]

Portugal at the councel

[@JagoShogun]

In any game, typing "____ is INSANE!" Will generate people's interest.

[@tobi6277]

I still don't get why your hatamoto's absolutely destroyed green and purples hatamotos. Was it because you had more? Or due to some card? In that case, why wouldn't they have the same card too lol.

[@Lesquidliestone]

tobi6277 When it comes to AOE hard hitters like hatamotos, number advantage is very impactful

[@berkvonuysal8755]

4 guys vs red xD good job guys, if u don't do that im pretty sure he win :P russia FFA is op :D

[@czapkafaraday7040]

I think Hatamoto are the best infantry unit in the game...

[@PolkaStudio]

urumi would give them a hard time

[@RafaelCosta-oi3be]

Dopps have more style

[@dondankleberg4965]

how does it help building the consulate so early? i mean you dont have enough export at the beginning anyways (sorry for bad chinese)

[@SamuraiRevolution]

You get 680 food age up when sided with Portugal. They have the cheap building passive bonus. Also cheaper shrines for a shrine boom.

[@dondankleberg4965]

lool good to know as a lvl 99 japan xD

[@KOSOVOisSERBIA222]

@@dondankleberg4965 and when u upg shrines also with shimepents, your shrine cost only 75 at start which is insane

[@aldojitsu]

You would have saved yourself a massive headache by getting the 200 pop for 2000 gold upgrade at your TC. No need to keep rebuilding shrines to keep up military count.

[@sanunanda]

Where do you guys play aoe3 online ?

[@damelyngdoh2370]

Hatomo, Hamoto, Hamato, Ha-Tomato, Hamo-Tomato.... anything but Hatamoto LOL :D :D

[@dzakyzaidan4665]

3000 export = 10 hatamoto samurai = enemy base flatted

[@Explainlikeachild]

why didnt u use Flaming arrows against russian infantry. those arrows have pretty long range and damage

[@SeldomPooper]

hatamoto samurais would still die pretty quick vs a group of skirmishers or archer units.

[@granth7076]

27:29 that's what she said😂

[@ghostkillerakagaming1838]

You play AOE3 japan version

[@ptkstefano]

never ready against russia specially in FFA. Oprichniks are dumb OP

[@FlankerX]

3 Japan in one map? How is that possible?

[@MiltonRosso]

can you play as the dutch more

[@bobkalahan4976]

Thx i love japan

[@rodrigofilho1996]

They need to nerf Samurai damage vs buildings, I mean keep other stats but the damage vs buildings is too high for a infantry unit, that needs some balance.

[@rodrigofilho1996]

@Mirage_Panzer Bro they do more dmg vs buildings then some artillery in the game, of course Doppelsoldner also need some nerf on the dmg vs building, in age 3 walls are pretty much useless until they fix these infantry and cav with insane dmg vs buildings, for an exemple: a Culverin has 40 base dmg vs buildings, no way a infantry or cavalry can do more dmg then a cannon, in my opinion the max siege dmg a non artillery unit can have is something in ~ 30 base dmg. Another exemple of a broken unit: the Oprichnik has a 75 base dmg vs buildings, thats the same as a Light Cannon, how is that balanced?

[@rodrigofilho1996]

@Mirage_Panzer Bro how can an infantry throwing fire do more DMG to a wall then a Culverin? Sure Culverin had a small caliber ball, but those went really fast, it would go strait thru any wall, that's why most pro players don't even bother to make walls, they need to nerf all the infantry and cav DMG vs buildings, this would not only make the game more fun, it would make other strategy's then rush actually usable, because right now all the enemy has to do is make a cav or pike box and destroy your factory's, all those lairs off walls and towers served for nothing because they fell in 15 seconds.

[@ERDEM-mg8qw]

[@aero821]

why is it better to have villies cost wood when it gathers slower?

[@SamuraiRevolution]

It costs 60 wood instead of 100 food

[@merlyberdproductions883]

is it bad that i was rooting for red?

[@lukeborst2751]

Mother Russia????

how to join your team-v-

[@ilhan8174]

Can somebody tell me how his Age Up costs 680 food?

[@SamuraiRevolution]

Side with Portugal at the consulate and you get cheaper buildings

[@balazsfenyes3880]

Hatamoto samurai are expensive af(resolve or what), normal samurai on the other hand not as much and do the same

[@funhouse7231]

Try to rush someone with 30 hatomato samurais....believe me skirms are useless in killing hatomato...

[@mikailaydenizteyukjk230]

J'aime le Japon :)

[@Tundra0128]

Samurai take forever to make though

[@keenanwalker6597]

Why didn’t he just buy a new dimyo at his wonder?

[@williamdouglass1070]

It was destroyed

[@TheRagaz]

is there something wrong with full (10/10) mills and plantations? why is everyone building more with none of them being full? if there's nothing wrong with 10/10, then i think its just a waste of resources and space building more than you need

[@SamuraiRevolution]

7 villies on mills is best because of pathing issues I believe

[@TheRagaz]

​@@SamuraiRevolution ok then, i have a challenge for u (if thats even a challenge). play dutch, but have 0 villies on food throughout entire game. have all the villies on gold or wood. use the cheap market exchange card.

[@SamuraiRevolution]

@@TheRagaz you dont even need food. Just make mercs!

[@TheNamelessOne97]

that holy cow think annoys me so much lel and idk why
