man t90 you are flawless and make zero mistakes

[@pinkod666]

I think that Serjeant is such an underrated unit. Pros (for example Hera) think that the Feudal Age Roman Man-at-Arms with the stronger armor upgrade is a little bit overpowered, and can hardly be countered, but Serjeants have even more armor than them, a tiny bit more HP, and just a little less attack for +15 gold. Also Serjeants can build Donjons, and without any upgrade or cost, they automatically turn into a tank in the Castle Age. So this unit in theory has great potential, it's cool to see that someone utilizes them!

[@busshock]

Not to mention, and I think these games showed this beautifully, the Serjeant's creation time in the Donjon is only 16 sec, compared to 21 sec for MAA. Even with a single Donjon, you can get serious numbers real quick.

[@pax6833]

Weird from me though is he never uses Serjeants to help build though.

[@pinkod666]

@@pax6833 In the last match, Youpudding used them for it, they helped in the constructing of an offensive Donjon, and they surprised and massacred the enemy's counter villager rush.

[@marcosruim9292]

4:20 it's not "because you hate me" that would be "porque me odias" instead of "por que me odias". This actually means "Why do you hate me?"

This was genuinely amazing to watch. So good to have people out there fiddling with the variables and trying things.

[@danfagan9631]

Youpudding gonna pop off at some point in the comp scene pro players who are willing to experiment are usually really good long term and have the highest of highs and the lowest of lows

[@Werevixen]

I think the surprise element is all YouPudding's got. Look at his eco, look at his home defence. His micro, his reaction times. This is a lower ELO player punching above his weight class with a one-trick pony strategy, one that he shines a big spotlight on because it needs to be addressed, since it does let lower ELO players do more, with less effort, speed, skill, etc. Sicilians and Serjeants are not good for the game, and they should either not exist until Castle age, not be able to build Donjons, (only villagers, in that particular event), or not be able to produce Serjeants from Donjons. As it stands, this strategy is not unbeatable, especially not in repeated encounters. But the fact he does the same thing every time does also kind of indicate it's a crutch that's propping him up.

[@danfagan9631]

@@Werevixen i think you may have misunderstood my point yes at the moment he would get killed by any of the top top players but the fact he is willing to experiment is a good sign if he ever wanted to try to go pro and compete the micro base defense etc. can all get better but you cant teach the willingness to try new things and experiment.

man i loved this. awesome strat and so good timings. You couldnt have brought 3 games in a video any better. great stuff

[@casusincorrabilis1584]

Fun fact: Serjeants are one of the few units that can give you positive "value" from just standing under enemy TC fire. In Castle age if the opponent doesn't gets bodkin, but ofc in imp. Most civs only have Rams and very few have either Paladin, Eagles or some other special civs/boni that do that.

[@METALFREAK03]

no strategy is a safe strategy. it is why aoe and aoe 2 has gone on for so long, you have to always adapt.

[@genghis_aoe]

Hoang's strat was known by everyone and he was still around and beating much better players with the same thing over and over

[@ryanrodgers3099]

I don't think you make it top 150 in the world with any strategy purely off of surprise factor. Especially at High Elo, you're going to run into people multiple times and people will talk amongst themselves. This strat was never going to stay a complete secret forever and a player that can execute this at such a high level is going to find a way to adapt.

[@belisarian6429]

@@ryanrodgers3099 Indeed, probably like Hoang he has seen variety of counterplay and knows how to adapt, and fact that he won after losing so many villagers could be confusing for some players aka killing vils usually wins games...not here apparently :)

[@DrunkenGlums]

Personally I love it when a player with lower APM and a simple strategy can pull out a win. It's all about game sense and an understanding of how things work at a deeper level. It's always brilliant when Daut (or other old-timers) can pull out something like that against a younger, faster player.

I think this sicilian strategy is not easy to execute. You have to delay the opponent, you are all-in in Castle age and you stop making vills. If the push fails, you are dead. And the sergeants are not the greatest of the units. But all of this makes the strategy so amazing for me. :)

[@MrHeorhe]

I just want to say watching LEL where t90 is looking at one player and all their units and saying out loud "what are they doing? Where are they looking?" And then watching this where t90 is pointing out how players are focusing on certain aspects of the game more than others is amazing. Hearing "...but where he is focusing is his archer upgrades..." is such an amazing contrast

[@myopiniondoesntmatter7068]

Anything that can run under TC's in castle that early should never be underestimated. Lets you have a feudal force that is ready to go to protect newly buffed rams. Knights are expensive, can't be massed while going up and thus take so much more time to get to that point. The timing window where this should work is fairly small, but the forward probably throws enough people off their game so they aren't ready for it. If you know its coming though, making M@A would stop it dead. First guy for example should definitely have better scouting and would've seen the lack of donjon at home at least, at best he would've seen the weird eco distribution.
