The Awkward Castle Drop (Low Elo Legends)

[@thomasharriett]

The saddest thing to me is that these silly fools would probably beat me in a 1v1.

[@edmis90]

Blue has 10sec idle TC time at 18min game time - imagine how much higher rated he was if he had an actual build order

[@profpoké1]

I know right, watching it im like "wHAt aN iDioT" and the only hot keys i know is for farms and outpost 😂😂😂 and i have done all campaigns on Hard difficulty, cbf learning hotkeys lol

[@HvacHeathen]

What system do you play on PC?

[@MaeseEidos]

I have yet to see ONE low elo legend that would not wipe the floor with me. Like maybe that one guy who never adjusted to counter archers I guess, I could maybe take that guy. So don't feel bad.

[@huan2524]

​@@MaeseEidos Just learn a build order and practice it with the build order scenarios. You would easily win even against 800 or 900 Elo if you learn some basic hotkeys.

[@UvReflexes]

Bro didn't want to build an army he just wanted to build up his people as well as educate and advance the civ.

[@ptbasedev]

1200 stone in tbe bank and not repairing the castle was peak LEL

[@foxtrotAOE]

Take all my wood autofarm, anything to not have to hear that horrid farm expiration sound

[@whistlecode1419]

I just don't understand. When you cast a 498 elo player, they are a complete mess, BUT WHEN I PLAY A 498 elo player, they get to castle age at 16:00 and proceed to wreck my world.

[@MrMindwavess]

Because you are focusing on what they are good at, while t90 is focusing and what they are bad at, completely different perspective. The "complete mess"that is blue in this video for example have very good idle TC time.

[@racernatorde5318]

Both you and your opponent are a "complete mess" too

[@windflier1684]

If they got 16min castle age it means they have basically no milltary to back them up, just couple of scouts in fedual could serious mess them up and "wreck their world", even an early resign would not be surprising.

[@kingdrizzy8939]

@@windflier1684 'basically no military' - a single knight wrecks those scouts - rushing to castle can be good if you have a unit with a bonus on it or a great unique unit - yes you lack eco, but with strong enough units and good enuogh micro, if you can finish the game early, eco doesnt matter

[@EmojiAlgorithmDonation]

Well, here's my 2 cents. Everyone's good at different things. That doesn't change at high elo or low elo. The peaks and valleys of their skills and weaknesses might be more extreme, but nobody's equally good at everything. A low elo player might be (comparitive to their rank) really damn good at one thing but fall apart when it comes to everything else. After all, if they were better at everything than you, they'd be a higher elo. What I'd suggest is to try and identify what their plan is, and do anything you reasonably can to avoid playing into their desired strategy. As an example I've been attacked really effectively and thought for sure I'd lose, but when I counterattack them instead of continuing to defend with my troops my opponent ended up falling apart. Some players might be really good at attacking, but really really bad at defending. Or vice versa. Or they might be great at micro but awful at economy/large armies. Good at early game combat but bad at choosing the right counter units. etc. This is where scouting comes in, as good scouting of your opponent can help to make more informed decisions on what you should do next.

[@Soviless99]

my strategy back then was play the maps where you have walls already made and line it with watch towers

[@chiralvandal]

It’s the only way to play

[@Zeredek]

I think you meant bombard towers

[@ParadoxVoid13]

For some reason when I started playing, I leaned heavy towards cavalry units, because I felt the mobility simply made them completely better than other units

[@cleanerben9636]

You are correct. Cav civ with half decent skirms/gunpowder is really good.

[@JamesStaffthepro]

But pikeman are so cheap! And they counter so well! Speaking from a Viking players perspective

[@kingdrizzy8939]

@@JamesStaffthepro pikeman soft counter heavy cav - on a 1 on 1, knight beats a pikeman - yes they leave damaged, but if you have knights + 1 monk - pikeman doent counter, its only later in that game when you have a lot of eco +barrkacks when you can pour halbadear out, that when spearman line hard counter heavy cav until then though, knights trade well against pikeman from a pop eco viewppoint. monks are the direct counter but they require micro

[@JamesStaffthepro]

@@kingdrizzy8939 your logic is impenetrable! No wonder thou werst victorious. I shall abdicate

[@ParadoxVoid13]

@@JamesStaffthepro definitely agree now haha, when I started I was not making diverse armies. I would have 1 type of production, maybe 2. And knights just sounded strong haha 😭

[@andy_v2904]

If the sounds of the buffalos are not your cuppa tea, there is a great sound mod made of intricate vocalisations by a certain aoe2 content creator named after shoes :D

[@adriansgro4586]

"Pato Baneado" in spanish means "Banned Duck". Also, in some places "Pato" is a nickname for people called "Patricia" (The same way that people like Robert are called Bob or Rob).

[@flamingosedai1820]

Lol you should do this for all the T90 videos so we can understand their choice of names

[@keyboardoracle1044]

I used to build siege armies and range armies, I figured if they can’t get near me they can’t kill me.

[@kostadinpantev]

The wood situation for red was truly abysmal.

[@wettyfop9898]

I've played AoE2 since 2002 and I've only ever made 50 skirmishers total in 700+ hours split quite evenly between DE and HD

[@thefire-nanceguy4440]

that doesnt seem possible unless youre low elo like below 600? most higher elos respond to large archer numbers which are the meta with skirms to counter. I probably make that many per day lol

[@flamingosedai1820]

Haha, only 700 hours? lmao. I've made 50 before only to immediately lose them because I was trash rushing lol

[@patricklapierre4760]

Pro games are great, but this is real entertainment.

[@Shamman_komanch]

I think red didn't realize at first you can walk and build on that particular water at first.

[@VIP-ry6vv]

Hey Mr tally man tally me homes. Six house, seven house, eight house, scout! T90 come and me gonna resign.

What would smallest city of lakes look like? 20 single water tiles with shore fish in it?

why does blue have a burning house 9:21

GG as always with LEL. If only blue built a stable! Scouts or light cav would have taken out both rams and scrims. Murder holes is a good tech just not against rams.😎

Call me lel, but I have killed water buffalo immediately to stop the mooing. It do be loud.

If only the barracks with supplies and militia line upgrade did something

[@michalstary9920]

Blue's village looks awesome.

[@MIchaelArlowe]

Blue should have used the time that red was using to destroy his castle to build up some light cav for a counterattack.

i love these, always surprising!

Definitely skirmisher was the unit which is strong and misunderstood 😄

[@eyepatch5883]

After 800 hours of playing only random CIV around 750-850 ELO I have decided to no longer player random CIV to see how far I can push ELO, Finally Broke 900 and now pursing my peak of 940 hopefully able to make it easily to 1k

[@harishsubramanian1241]

good luck my dude.

[@makataka7]

good luck! i'm still too scared to play ranked(i know ill eventually get sorted right, just not looking forward to getting my bum handed to me for 10 games+) i can easy beat moderate every time and hard half the time though

Having so few trees available to players as red does this game should be illegal

Blue had quite literally 1300 stone. Just drop two more castles XD

[@luiscarloscc667]

Recently got into aoe2 and cannot wait to become a low elo legend lol, haven't won a single multiplayer match, I still find it fun

[@bubbasbigblast8563]

So, Red was like, "okay, what are my Civ advantages? I have strong stable units, I have gunpowder, I have a powerful economy...so I'm going to build nothing but skirmishers and Rams." I'm just really curious as to why, since there's, you know, a civ that actually specializes in trash Archers and Castles, and has Siege Ram too...

[@Tom4SEO]

srry. is there a name for this map? or is it a random generated map. thnkyou in advance

[@afz902k]

[@tomtenthij5676]

Where is supplies? 🙏

[@ashryver3605]

Low elo legends, while fun, really confuses me on how it can happen. Surely anyone who plays AoE is will into their adulthood. So they aren't 5 year olds who really have no idea how to do anything. To get this low you must play, and lose, a lot. More than just being below average. So you have to somehow never learn anything in any game, or be impaired in some way. Even people who do 4fun tactics like the guy who mines forward deposits, must be able to reach a higher elo if they get better in general.

[@narrowpath9491]

What is auto scout? I was playing big time in the zone when this game game out. I dont like this

[@JallenMeodia]

Four years ago they added the option to have your starting Scout unit, well, auto-scout. The computer takes control of the unit, and it'll gradually reveal the whole map (assuming it is mostly land). It is generally seen as not terribly helpful at the start of a match because it'll generally head to one of the corners and then go back and forth the entire map in strips, like trying to download a naked picture of Captain Janeway on dial-up. So yeah, might help new players find resources and thus make the game more fun, but is pretty pointless at higher ELO.

[@andrekruse3727]

It's like auto micro, auto macro and auto build. MbL was a key factor in the implementation.

[@peterzana6260]

can you look up how to properly pronounce "magyar" ? its not meg-yar more like muh-dyar... "gy" is one sound.

[@NowhereMan7]

Why does AOE even have amphibious terrain? Its not something from the real world. It feels like a gimmick or cheat code having a giant navy floating past a little town. Maps like Water Nomad where its all amphibious terrain are the most hellish maps that exist. I dont like water maps but at least its realistic and tolerable. Why did they decide to have amphibious terrain at all? I hate it. Will never play on it.

[@imperfectprojects5632]

One opinion. (Mine and mine alone.) I watch KZbin not twitch. I don't want to hear thanks subscriber 37. You can also do prime. I realize it takes more effort in the editing but for me it's worth it. If you copy and paste it seems lazy in my opinion. If I wanted to watch the live stream I would. There are different platforms for different reasons. You should respect that and not make them the same. I want to see the finished video not the live stream.

[@JallenMeodia]

I mean, he does special videos just for KZbin as well, so I wouldn't call it laziness, just what is the value of the work? What you're asking for is for him to rerecord the entire video for the sake of a little bit of advert revenue. Of course, you're allowed your opinion, but I don't think it's practical and the majority of his content will be taken from his live streams.

[@thefire-nanceguy4440]

@@JallenMeodia also most people can easily fast forward sections like the one he mentioned anyway so there is no point

[@zachrowe6271]

With all due respect, this is a skill issue on your part. Just skip ahead 10 seconds or mute your volume if it bothers you that bad. No need to put unnecessary stress on the editors when it doesn't impact the quality of the content.
