Spirit of the Law, your voice and style of speech remind me of Lockpicking Lawyer for some reason.

The length of Age of Empires years always was odd to me.

How to forget when Leonidas said “this is Sparta!” And proceeded to wall the enemy scout

[@hjelsethak]

Fun fact: When they were still making aoe2 the devs considered having wonders provide bonuses for your civ.

I don't even play AoE2 (well I haven't in like 15 years) but for some reason get excited to watch your videos...not sure how you do it, but I find them very enjoyable and entertaining even though objectively the information you give is boring and not relatable, I feel like you are my friend even though we've never met, how did you get so good at making videos? I am definitely taking notes for if I ever want to make my own video content, not for gaming but anything in general!

back in the day I had palyed about 20 1v1 AoE2 matches, with the terrific record of 3 W 17 L. One of my victories came via "wonder construction" and I was super proud of myself. Next game I tried the same trick .. sent 1 builder to start building a wonder ... my opp simply sent 30, built the wonder first and defeated me easily :)

I had a Game once with my friend that our game lasted for almost 2 hours. We almost exhausted every resources in the map and both of our bases are well built and impenetrable by our armies we race to build wonders to secure victory. That's the longest game I've ever been to.

Another Wonderful video!

[@coldwind52]

Spirit of the law you forgot another game mode "Defend the wonder" just to let you know. Great video regardless.

[@Achillez098]

You have not seen all of the 300 movie? Spoiler alert, your assumption was 100% correct ;)

[@orderofazarath7609]

In Age of Mythology in a big FFA the player with the wonder got defeated and resigned, but his wonder was still around. So we did let the timer of the resigned player run out fighting each other and at the end.. well, either the player who had resigned won after all or just everyone lost. That's for the priests and oracles of AoM to decide.

[@NXeta]

I wonder about this video tho cuz if wonderful wonders can wonder but wandering wonders cannot then can wonderful wonders wander without wondering I wonder?

[@AwibaeGibbon]

Hey man, just wanted to say thanks for all your videos and stuff. When I first clicked on one of your videos about the Japanese, it really broadened my understanding of the game and made me want to get into it. I used to play one of the "Age of Worlds" games or something before that until seeing your videos, since then have switched to AOE. I played it for a couple of years (when AOE2HD came out) but got into some school stuff and wasn't allowed on a computer for almost a year after that and moved to FPS games. I've always liked watching your videos and decided to subscribe recently. I'd love if you uploaded more videos of just raw gameplay, or even gameplay with non-live commentary, I just like the way you explain the ways your playing (even if I don't play much anymore), and just how interesting you make your videos.

[@misteral9045]

I was hoping you'd talk about why the devs decided to incorporate wonder victories as a possible game mode. Like tying it in to real life examples where a group won a decisive victory by building certain buildings in an area, like in your Portuguese video where they build important forts to hold the area, or if a group won a 'cultural' war like the romans domesticating the goths by giving them land and money.

[@sanguineaurora8765]

Hey spirit! We would love to see you make civ overviews and math videos for Age Of Mythology and its expansions!

[@jnb894]

Haha that wonder race picture!!! Awesome vid as usual mate!

[@Jertude1981]

One topic I think would be very interesting: What happens with the game mechanics if a player constructs multiple wonders and/or demolishes multiple wonders from the same player.

[@Loto974]

No Treaty

[@dootdoot6130]

After about a minute of watching this video I started to wish I could like it more than once
