That level of micro from Viper in that last engagement was INSANE. Way to make anyone ragequit 😂

[@ordermind]

Crazy snek micro

[@gebhard128]

true mastapiece

[@BelialTnTn]

2:41 those sheep just got their dose of Compound V.

[@pax6833]

Only viper could completely botch his opening strategy, get severely out eco'd, and still somehow immediately come back. this guy is so crazy man

I think you’ll find that Incas aren’t technically meso

[@Wullabab]

Yo really needed a castle on his home hill

[@Aoedam]

They made it an entertaining game. Viper seemed to only attempt the strat to make it an even game after the Yo idle time. And Yo would’ve won tho without the idle time, since Viper didn’t seem to plan for the strat from the very beginning

[@kenwilson5641]

Excellent game and loved seeing my Mayans and plumes!

[@princejangra5298]

The disadvantage yo had at start made it a bit less likeable to me

[@Y2JKB8]

Probably that's why Viper went to that strategy, since the chance of a "fair" game is gone he used the game to try new things

[@Broken_robot1986]

It's always fun watching the pros.

[@NathanSkifton]

Someone in Viper’s Twitch chat told him about Yo’s idle time. That’s why he chatted about it. Viper then said there’s nothing he could do to even it out, so he just had to go with it. To was alright with it. He was 100% testing this strat, so this win doesn’t mean anything. Not like ladder does at the highest level anyway.

[@justindie7543]

@@NathanSkifton He could've deleted 2 vils to even it out.

[@jurianboots395]

​@@justindie7543 he would still have the res collected from those two vills. It's not really possible to even the scales completely at that point. By the way Viper said that he would try this strat with whatever civ he would random into, so he didn't decide to go for this strategy just because of Yo's idle start.

[@aaronvenn8660]

Yo lost when he let him have that other gold pile.

[@pax6833]

No he was still way economically ahead. He still should have won from that position but viper micro was just insanely good and allow him to take some very good trades.

[@Bzhydack]

He was ahead with eco, so he could spare few villa to tower that gold.

[@rafjj23]

Strat is important, but Viper’s micro made a huge difference!

[@iamsick5204]

Vipers micro is insane! But macro was not so good

[@emron3894]

When you compare it to phosphoru i think it was really good how he was able to build up such large numbers of plumes and mangonels and still produce some vills.

[@DaddyMouse]

Having bad eco is part of this strategy lol Thats the whole point of it

[@iamsick5204]

@@DaddyMouse i know lol. you can tell hes testing it out

[@andreibirisu4280]

brooooooooo that micro at the end of the game...insane!!

[@melkorWTF]

Viper be kiting like an ADC in LoL

[@5vasily5]

Does anyone know where you can find communities of new aoe2 players who would like to group up and play multi player ranked games?

[@faultier3215]

there are discord lobbys but mostly the better experienced players use them

[@BasicUniversalEconomics]

i do pretty good against Ai Hardest, but these guys....

[@hectorxu4820]

damn viper's micro is freaking insane

[@schmeed0000]

big badabooms

[@randalljames4456]

Someone at my low skill level can't even fathom how a castle up at six and a half minutes is even possible

[@ryans8122]

10x longer resources WOULD be a crazy bonus

Eating boar meat until imp

as long as its not a forest nothing game. Then it's atrocious

[@melissagrenier2200]

10x longer sausage? Sign me up

2:45 sorry about my sheep guys. He was have an existential crisis because he knew he would be slain and put into some kind of Chinese soup. 😓

[@lunatico5]

Beautiful beautiful game. Love the phosphorus series. Thanks T90!

[@arjunpai7226]

This felt like a 2020 type game I don't know why. Maybe it was the fact I was seeing an FC into plumes after so long

[@Fedacking]

I can't believe yo lost this game. At 8:15 he had denied the gold, had a large military and eco advantage and somehow Viper came back.

[@Liam.Lacoste]

Almost came back but lost the mangonel fights. Unfortunate, that was a really good game though!

[@MadcatMashupMayhem]

Yo didnt know how bad Viper's eco is. But still Viper did a crazy micro a usual and that crushing mangonel fight would make anyone ragequit :D

[@frother]

such a massive macro advantage and you still wipe from 5 seconds of mangonel micro is pretty deep This Is A Bad Game Actually territory

[@SvanTowerMan]

Has anyone ever tried the Phosphoru strat with the Armenians?

why not just go eagles for yo?

Plumes have some anti infantry bonus damage

Good old Arabia games, when it was less about booming and macro, and more about strategy, micro-ing, maintaining a momentum, understanding your win condition. But devs are strategy-phobic. They killed any potential for games like this to happen. How to fix that? Reverse most Arabia changes: 1. Stone mine shouldn't be 15 tiles away from the TC, I know devs don't like Trush strats, but they were always part of this game. 2. Gold mines are diagnal to the TC in a bizarrely fixed location, instead of being random with a chance of being closer to the TC, further, or even closer to the woodline or other resource. Every resource is spaced out, in fixed positions, making scouting barely relevant. Devs love pushing their deer eh. 3. Woodlines in 2021+ Arabia are no longer thick, but rather dozens of teeny tiny woodlines across the map, that was never Arabia. We had fewer woodlines, with more trees. Encouraging less TC spam in the mid-game. And more strategic castle drops / siege pushes, since you had a position to fight for. 4. TC location is fixed on a measured radius from the center of the map, again, for no good reason. We sacrifice strategy and quality gameplay for "balanced" map. You might as well go play Starcraft if that's what you base your game design on. Meta is fixable. Unfortunately it probably wont be fixed by the devs. They barely know how to design a civ (Houfnice, Flemish, Shivramsha...) It's up to us, the community and the content creator to take resposibility and provide better maps for tournaments, opposing the false conception of the devs.

[@DarthChrisB]

Good that people are waking up. At one point we will have to go back to the still unanswered question of whether some people within the USA helped planning that "special day" 23 years ago and why was the alleged mastermind behind it murdered without a trial?

[@UniDocs_Mahapushpa_Cyavana]

Phosphoru-ing got shadow nerfed with the auto-farm 🧑‍🌾🥔🥕🫛 placement. It means the opponent has much more spare micro to deal with your stuff and you save on much less micro by going for wood 🪵 and gold 🪙.
