[@heroepato]

It's like a fencing match. With so little to focus on every move has to be perfect.

[@hungaryargo]

Nice one!

[@jordan3087]

I kind of like it tbh!

[@Memphisko]

Nice metaphor, to me it is like the chess boards with very few pieces set, and you have to solve it. There are only few/only one win solution for both.

[@mkvector9539]

Imagine a cav scout jousting match.

[@kazukihashimoto183]

the map gen f ed over red big time so he was at a massive disadvantage....

[@widowpeak6142]

The image of the castles shooting at each other while two rams batter one of them, all while half a dozen of villagers on each side desperately try to keep their castles or rams in one piece is epic.

[@drachenrecke5090]

You dont get to see that every day.

[@joaopires1761]

All the while there's human fireworks somewhere in the middle.

[@kobevetter1339]

The best part of this series is being able watch a full aoe2 game while I eat a meal.

[@yan.weather]

😂

[@Squishydew]

That was honestly such a beautiful ending, seeing him block those petards with the villagers, seemingly having fended off the worst and then the counter repair squad.. Fantastic. loved it.

[@MatsuHiroshi]

It's not an every day thing, but I'd definitely love to see more of these maps at higher and higher levels of play as people figure out what the meta really is :D

[@mbvglider]

These are 2150/2250 players. I honestly don’t think it looks that different at higher ELO. At this map size, so much is luck based and where your resources generate. Even if it’s Viper on the other side, I don’t know how JonSlow loses with that map.

[@oskaripeurala2612]

@Ashley Paul If Rmcoo had not lost the castle and had gotten trebuchets, he would have won.

[@mbvglider]

@@oskaripeurala2612 that’s an impossible win condition. There’s no room for eco and no way to mine stone. Even if he makes Imp, he can’t afford trebs.

[@nwojski]

@@oskaripeurala2612 he could kill rams with petards instead of mangudai

[@iwersonsch5131]

@@mbvglider So the map scripts could be made more balanced

[@auretioustaak6579]

The best thing about this series and the small scale games is that the majority of them are close fought affairs so well worth watching through, but most importantly, are short games, so you can watch them when you have a spare 15 minutes or so during a stressful work day or otherwise without having to commit an extensive amount of time to it. Definitely needs to be a regular thing here.

[@nathanfranks1476]

Rmcoo definitely got shafted with the map gen, but im sure its soo hard to balance these maps 11

[@TheTWH9]

yeah having his stone able to be walled off like that was pretty unfair, since jons was in the back of his base all safe and sound 11

[@dmign]

look at me im an npc i type 11 11 lol 11

[@David-qi1ys]

Yeah. A map win if I ever saw one. Forward main gold and ONLY stone, smh. Still fun to watch though.

[@Wanderer1258]

@@David-qi1ys But Rmcoo had an opportunity to make a bigger bite there at 0:35. He even sent a vill, but made a mistake, I think, trying to walk deeper. Still very unfortunate for him, though.

[@WiscoDrinks]

I feel like these maps would work great in a series match were you play a bunch, like maybe 3 of 5 wins.

[@jones368]

Loving this series. I wonder how pro-level players would do in such a map!

[@martinBRish]

i was thinking in how Low Elo players would play it ahahaha

[@mbvglider]

These players are pro level.

[@sylfraeaveniore2684]

Yeah, these two are pro-level

[@ZyanFernando]

@@mbvglider nah i mean dauT and viper

[@ZyanFernando]

He*

[@morscoronam3779]

These Smallest videos are some of my favorite AoE games ever.

[@777gnom]

Love those maps, so funny and innovative :D keep them going

[@hirvielain9013]

(A comment containing spoilers) That Petard and Ram push looked like a total disaster for Jon Slow and I was really surprised it eventually worked!

[@WiscoDrinks]

The quick wall really helped to jam them up.

[@thomasfplm]

Please, do a "Tinyest Cup". Imagine a tournament using only tiny maps 😂

[@afz902k]

and every set is a best of 1, probably on empire wars mode

[@thomasfplm]

@@afz902k, I would prefer the rest of the rules and settings to be the usual ones.

[@TheGahta]

Probably devolving into towerwars but id definitely watch 😂

[@thomasfplm]

@@TheGahta, true. Maybe tower and castle ranges would have to be slightly reduced by 1 or 2.

[@TheGahta]

@@thomasfplm dunno if that helps, just means people build them that much closer Though im sure the pros would have a field days trying their best to break the meta No ranged building attacks might be an interesting take though it would feel a bit less genuine 🤷‍♂️

[@nwojski]

I think you got something! I found this very compelling. I would like to see some top level micro players in this setting. Maybe a showmatch?

[@senormac]

That was so epic!! I love petards. They are the most overlooked unit in the game.

[@MDavidG]

Imagine a 256x mod on this

[@Fabianz04]

Please bring us more T90 ! so fun these tiny maps.

[@naveendennis]

Can we have these on a playlist, please? These games are awesome!

[@naveendennis]

*this series

[@adrianbyg5553]

Super balanced, red barely can have access to gold (and the one avaliable is at the edge of the map making it less accesible for vills) while blue has tons of safe, well protected and easily accesible mines

[@VechsDavion]

That stone spawn was so unfair. Can we get some better resource layout that doesn't decide the match by itself?

[@Cynndora]

Beautiful Villager & Ram combo.

[@Vhite]

I love these tiny maps, especially if there is some choke point or other barrier making them last a bit longer.

[@eternal1803]

I love these kind of plays❤

[@ernie5229]

T90 -- I LOVE these tiny maps! Suggestions: 1.) Don't zoom in. The beauty of these maps is you can watch BOTH bases develop at the same time. 2.) Consider banning towers & castles to aviod the one-dimentional strategy. 3.) Post more tiny map games!

[@jaldinsicon]

this series should be called tiniest tournament

[@shanerooney7288]

A surprisingly tense game.😂

[@nicholascarter9158]

"You could end up sharing a woodline" "Could"

[@RoronoaZoro-ow1vz]

I fkn love these small map fights.

[@abhasiyah]

Smol maps series😂 idk if i need this in my life

[@Commander199442]

I really REALLY love this series :D

[@neo_prime6531]

More if these short format games, they are an easy watch without a lot of commitment.

[@HostileAmbience]

The map generation of the resources was completely busted. I knew who was going to win in the first 30 secs....

[@WigglyWings]

Ngl, these small maps are claustrophobic nightmares.

[@rentabledwarf578]

These tiny maps feel like desperate bids for survival and I love it

Those vils healing the rams. Imagine the STRESSSSSSS

[@drewblair3953]

They need a mod where everything has 1/2 the range, and apply it to this map. it would be so fun!

[@tiagofelix5173]

please keep this serie, are very good maps and estrategys!

[@bcorbin1997]

Crazy game! Need more tiny 1v1s!!!!

[@swancrunch]

I'm not even an aoe2 player (played aoe1 waaay back in the day), but i love watching these tiny matches.

[@jamesvanaken585]

Need FatSlob on this map

[@Ecker00]

I enjoy these small maps, because I don't have time to watch the long games (or even play myself). But so packed with action in a bite size experience. 👍

[@bastokrepublic]

That stone position decided the match, but good job to JonSlow for capitalizing on it and keeping that part of the map under his control.

[@RochfordFilms]

Small maps have such unique plays with towers & TCs

[@blarch2]

I have been waiting all day for this, and by waiting all day for this, I mean waiting until now to watch this when I have time to, because you uploaded this 7 hours ago, and I saw when you posted it.

[@talmagejones]

Just so cool. Please do this with other maps

[@Mercury1600]

These are such fun maps to watch!

[@bastokrepublic]

I love how we can basically see all of the action without moving the camera.

[@justinplunk216]

All-in petards is new meta confirmed.

[@KalaAltheaBalik]

I want to see a minimap tournament!

[@951258tike22]

oh HELL yeah, more mini map madness! just what the doctor ordered

[@brohvakiindova4452]

One critical thing T90 ignored was how Rmcoo had to buy stone to repair his castle AFTER already buying the castle. JonSlow was in a way better position to go Imp after all that. When JonSlow dropped that Tower the game was already decided because how unfair the map generation was. The castle after that was enough to keep Rmcoo off his resources completely. If Rmcoo had enough resources to immediately pressure Jon this would have been different. Market is strong only for a short boost or with tons of gold income. There were so many tiny things going better for Jon. Only potential advantage Rmcoo had was space due to not having ponds and his resources being towards the edges and the middle (except berries)

[@rickbiessman6084]

Amaaaaazing. As silly as this map is: this was a really exciting match!

[@waynesmiley2207]

Best series ever!

[@r4fl3r]

At least this smallest black forest map is big enough to cover up the thumbnail text partly ;-)

Hey t90, I was having a major panic attack that was fucking me up big time. I just threw your content on the tv because I wanted noise and ended up laughing my ass off at this ridiculous game instead. This whole game was just so ridiculous - I loved it.

[@ManyuAngrish]

Let's just do tiny Socotra already!

this is how i envision every black forest game

[@Augustus_Imperator]

imagine something like viper vs yo or hera vs daut in a map like this, it must be epic 😆

[@zepwafels]

Damn I thought this was a civ win for Rmcoo, 4 boars and deer so close to the TC as mongols is a very powerful buff. He should have anticipated rams though and made some mangudai preemptively to counter the rampush.

[@brianpeyton6083]

These are so fun

[@flapjacki9579]

I love it so much

[@erickr199]

amazing

[@thebigmarvinski]

That was epic

[@PotatoSmasher420]

On one hand I love this small map thing, on the other, it has a HUGE issue with res balance - in the previous match Jon Slow has super unlucky gen of map and lost, now Rmcoo got stone close to the enemy, thus no way of sustaining the defense long term and lost.

[@dembro27]

I guess you can't load Petards into Rams, eh? That would probably be too strong.

[@Vitorruy1]

amazing video
