This is actually really good Burgundian roleplay: losing way too many knights to a bunch of peasants with pikes. The real Flemish militia was the Goths all along.

[@johnh6065]

Blue was determined to be historically accurate right down to not investing in his economy and only focusing on horsey bois

[@werner6140]

Seems more fitting for the Franks.

[@bloopusarkat6929]

@@werner6140 it also fits for burgundy cause they got destroyed by the Swiss (peasants with pikes)

[@F00LSG0LD215]

Blue hit 48 Vills and COMPLETELY forgot to create ANY MORE.... That whole Meme about focusing on army and micro while forgetting to make villagers for 20mins.

[@martijnbouman8874]

At first, he wanted to invest 100% of his food into Cavalier and upgrades. After that, he probably thought it was over and didn't need to make any more Villagers. That logic makes no sense, of course, since even if that were true, there would be no downside to continue to queue Villagers, but that is how many people think.

[@Real_MisterSir]

@@martijnbouman8874 yea and even then, blue was not out of the game at all when he called the gg. In fact he was still far ahead, he was floating 7k food and had a secure base. Sell half his food, go to imp, get a bit of siege and wreck red. It felt more like blue simply stopped playing alltogether after his initial attack - as if he was so shocked that he didn't kill red then and there, and from that moment he just mindless trickled cavs into pikes until he realized he was hitting his face repeatedly at the same wall and then he quit. Idk man, these LEL matches always surprise but this one was something else.

[@JonnySoJuicy]

his vision went completely red...KILL. THEM. ALL!

[@Mr00Ted]

The LeL logic I suspect at 11:00 is that stone walls on the back flank buys more time to move the eventual army to respond. Trust me, My Elo is pretty low

[@GuardsmanGary_Ch]

My ELO is non-existent and that was my thought too.

[@walkerhumphrey181]

Honestly I always thought you were supposed to stone wall the back and palisade the front

[@Zeru.]

I thought that was because they would not be paying so much attention to their back, OR maybe have been flanked like that before and now have nightmares about it lol.

[@RobotShield]

Yep I agree, your army and attention is more likely to be at the front and military buildings too so you can react better.

[@MaartenvanHeek]

This was my thought as well

[@derelbenkoenig]

I don't even pick goths but most of my memories of playing them go basically like this. Barely survive and then spam pike and you win

[@MLandriganReid]

My theory about Blue's walling is that he used stone walls at the back because it would take longer to get army to the back to defend so he used stone walls to buy time there where as the front is just palisades because his army can be there quicker

[@bobfrank3575]

sounds like a solid strat

[@Joey-rs7uq]

It's like he made a horse pen out of his base, gotta admire someone who sticks to their way of playing. This was such a cute match, like watching evolution in its making. Usually specialization is precise in its very specific angle, but also very unstable while those that can reproduce and adapt win out.

[@firemyst9064]

I was thinking about that for a few minutes and I had the same idea. Incentivizing a frontal assault by making break-away walls.

[@Lexoka]

Possible. I think he just started with palissades because that's what he could do, then used stone because he could.

[@andrewlee6025]

I really want a 'take control' feature for replays especially LEL. At any point in the replay, you can sub in for a player and an AI will take over for the opponent.

[@raphaelcardoso7927]

Would be amazing

[@reneguenon1913]

[@spinyslasher6586]

@@caseyb1346 It made me livid seeing Blue completely forget about eco and unit comp and just spam out cavaliers.

[@Ganonmustdie2]

All those poor neglected relics, and the potential Burgundian Vineyards gold; as someone who loves resource trickle mechanics, it broke my heart to see Blue run out of gold when it could've been easily prevented. But imagine if he HAD secured enough resources to mindlessly ram cavalry into spearmen. How would he ever learn about counter-units? It was a great game either way from both players!

[@meneldal]

Or also not getting even fletching for your castles, making them way too weak. Any other unit would have worked better against pikeman over cavalry

[@oregano19]

I really feel like that the goth player was played by a little brother and then at the point red was making lots of pikes, his big bro took over. It's like "Bro save me I'm losing right now" and then "All right leave it to me, I got this"

[@LightKnight_Age_Of]

I goth this

[@IAmBael]

7000 food in the bank and a completely untouched, fully walled base. Blue could've outspammed the Goth player with literally any trash unit and won this easily, even when he resigned. This is what happens when you say "I decided to just make Cavalier so that's what I'm gonna do". 11

[@blainewalton1210]

As a low elo player, I freaking love these videos. A lot of the games you've casted have helped out big time whenever I'm in a pickle lol

[@jorgemfgoncalves]

Split up strategy from Red was super effective. Blue: "You're dead now!" Red: "You're right, I am dead. Or am I?!" Blue: *Resigns*

[@husainjam]

Whenever my base get cleaned out in a team game, i just re-build in someone else’s base and then come back later. Actually i love those situations

[@jonwhite9411]

There's a lot of interesting logic around LEL, but the one I really can't wrap my head around is they all seem to get to around 40-60 vils and then just stop building them.

[@rrrrroope]

at around those numbers you're both usually in castle age and so you have to focus every iota of effort on managing military production and attacking or defending

[@benijager1372]

It's because we don't think we need them, I usually produced the 20 ones, then 5 at feudal, then continue till 40

[@syb7605]

That's when the fight started. When you're in a state of war, you don't make babies.

[@DS_4172]

Y'all are taking the LEL logic 1 step too far with the time and flanks and whatnot. Take the logic one step back- it's because it means blue only has to defend from the front, bc who would choose to attack stone walls over palisades? He just eliminated 2 of the 3 possible directions his enemy would ever attack him from.

[@Celestatiune]

at 11:00 I think the thought is that it makes it more likely that an enemy will attack the part of your base where your unit buildings and waypoints are at. It's like a baby step between "maybe i should stop full stone walling because of how expensive is" and full palisade walling instead

[@MatildaHinanawi]

Blue would've literally won with scouting. Ironically, that's after he scouted the whole map and it was RED who had really poor scouting. Blue would've won with scouting after he killed red's main.

[@schmid1.079]

11:00 Where are you going to position your army? On the front of course. That means you are already protected there. On the flanks you arent though, so thats why LeL tend to fortify their flanks first. I approve.

[@nnomtnert7924]

I’m very late to the party, as I only recently found this channel. This low ELO Legends is amazing, because it makes the game accessible! It’s so easy to watch a high level game and think “I’m never gonna play a ranked match because I’ll just get destroyed.” Not so much after watching this one!

So, at the start I was wondering why they are low elo, they seemed fine with managing the economy, queueing villagers. But then towards the mid I realized that there is always always always some aspect where these kinds of players are completely oblivious to, like the pikemen being cheap and good against expensive knights...

I used to go pure archers on the theory that with enough archers you can kill any melee unit before it can close. And playing as Britains I would always go cav archer because I wanted the speed, not knowing that they lacked crucial upgrades.

[@Rhamirezz85]

That was awesome. Love LEL :D

[@shino4242]

You know the most frustrating thing about red and other players like him in low elo? It isn't the making archers as goths and spending like 20+ minutes not making infantry at all. It wasn't the holes in the house walls. It wasn't the lack of scouting. So many low elo people have such iffy booming with tons of TC idle time. They get attacked and sometimes lose their base as shown here and then they immediately kick it into overdrive and start booming like crazy to "make up for lost time"...if they'd just boom like that to begin with they'd be in such better positions!

[@SapioiT]

Honestly, if Red had only one stable hidden away somewhere, with 5-6 scouts he could at least distract blue's army, if not even remove blue's economy/population.

[@khajiit92]

you mentioned at the start that it's weird he spread his villagers and that goths are good at comebacks. i think red planned to lose the main base from the start.

Pikes demolished cavalier cost-effectively, Hera stans seething

[@MorpH2k]

Honestly, I'd probably rather take a spear to the chest than an arrow. I did archery for a while when i was a kid and while both would absolutely suck, a bow is way more powerful. Sure, the mass of a thrown spear would help it do a lot of damage, but the mechanical leverage of a bow makes it able to penetrate so much deeper. We used targets made of very thick and heavy foam matting and the arrows, even from the fairly weak bow I was using when I was like 12, would stick out the back of the target that was maybe 25-30 cm thick.

[@indraallian6371]

This proves that studying the tech tree always pays off. Red knew what a counter is. Blue didnt. He had won too many games with cav rushing. 😎

[@undefined6341]

And games like this one are what brought most of the balance change ideas on the Age of Empires forums -.-'

[@Dacamster101]

As someone who hates being raided and does the same thing as blue I feel I can take a crack at why he stone walls the back. If your awareness is low then you want to minimise the points of entry to your base, stone walling the back makes it more likely the enemy will be 'funneled' to the easier palisades. Its an effective way to encourage the enemy to break in where you want them to enter so you can focus on the front and not lose half your econ to a back raid before you realise youre in trouble. Another layer to this is that once i stone wall the back i dont usually put anything back there other than farms if i get to the end game. If im going to be raided and need to quickly put a 2nd layer of walls i can do that at the front where most of my villagers are close faaaar quicker and easier than if i have to trek villagers to the back to try plug a hole. Ive had way too many enemies bust through my palisades before my villagers could get there for me to risk it anymore. In short, stone walls are an arrow pointing to where i want the enemy to fight me.

can someone explain why at 6:38 , red has 1 more villager despite 40 seconds of idle TC time and 0 deaths?

[@riluna3695]

Honestly I get the impression Red is simply the better player here. He could and should have scouted out blue more, and seen what he was going for before it actually hit him, but once he saw what it was he knew exactly what to do to counter it, and Blue was either unaware of how hard he was getting countered, or just wanted to make cavs no matter what, and he was punished for it. I honestly feel like if either player scouted more fervently, the game would have tilted in their favor significantly: Red because he seems to be counter-happy, and Blue to spot all those corner bases and stop them before they can scale up too much. Scouting's important, folks :D

I have lured "boars" to my mill but I prefer the TC because you can put it under the middle and make the vils drop food instantly with a couple clicks. But then, red didn't do that either so....

[@Fudgeoff6628]

Reg is a perfect example as to why I don't give up until im knocked out (or lose all Vil's, then thats literally GG for me) theres always that slight possibility to win after an enemy exploits a vulnerability that likely cost you the whole game. Never quit, never surrender, but if you're going to do so, at least keep playing legitimately & not clinging on just to be a troll, thats just rude & unnecessary.
