[@hepjonkamikaze17]

****This knowledge of Turkish history is a gift from me to all of you. ;)**** Gunpowder was found by the Chinese in 142 A.D. For this reason, Petrart exists, *but the Janissary Union was established during the Ottoman period.* This scenario describes the Battle of Manzikert in 1071. After the Battle of Manzikert, *the Ottoman Empire was established in 1299 AD.* There is no Janissary in the game scenario because of this.

[@tomasangel797]

There were hidden heroes in this campaign, they were in the rams, that's why they died so fast #clearly

Bombard towers used by the Romans against the huns and the saxons using bombard towers against the Norman's great campaign design lol

[@EmilicoYamigos]

Not starting with the Trebuchets really makes a difference! Quite challanging mission :)

[@lukasg4807]

Do you ever start with trebuchets?

[@4rc28]

Lukas G! On standard difficulty.

[@cat2]

the game gives you extra units/buildings in some missions if u choose standard difficulty

[@DarkEccentric]

Its easy since you can just wait afk for more ressources

[@satrancci5081]

The campaign starts in Adana.

[@Inko_Inko]

Without any lag I micro much worse! 15:40 Also, you could have traded between your allies markets and your own

[@Fannystark007]

Is that why they click so often at the same spot? Or is it just to gain apm?

[@alcam4226]

Alan yes i started trade carts right away too.

[@KazoogleKoogle]

Manzikert has always been to my the most unique and creative scenario in the aoc campaigns.

[@bdonaghu]

I loved the Lepanto scenario. Very challenging unless you can outsmart the AI. Can't wait to see Viper play that one soon!

[@Vladeo]

always hated it, always will :))

[@martijnbouman8874]

+Brett Donaghue You think Lepanto is challenging? I found it one of the least challenging campains... I just task all my Villagers to build the Wonder and win quickly.

[@bdonaghu]

Martin, I found it quite challenging the first play through because I did not know what to expect (all those transports landing at the same time to land up at the top of the map where I neglected to put any units since the wonder is at the bottom) and I lost the wonder with about 5 years left. The second play through, I simply walled off the entire coastline and stationed fire ships and demos all over so their transports could not even land, which did make this one pretty easy.

[@KazoogleKoogle]

You can cheese the scenario by building a stone wall along the shoreline.

[@creepy3ric]

Where is the Saracen Team Bonus when you need it?

[@LordMangudai]

wouldn't even have helped lol, it doesn't affect cavalry archers xD

[@TheSpinlippy]

[@ricisebastiano]

Today Viper took better care of even his foot soldiers than he would usually of his main Hero. This is the effect you get when there's no villager guarantee

if viper attempts the speeding up gig in the forgotton missions he is gonna have a baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad time (units get stuck in literally everything when you do that)

[@Khotgor]

This was one of my favourite scenarios. Always built Trade Carts and built a sizable army to defeat the Byzantines. Tried to challenge myself sometimes by capturing only two or one of the towns to kill the Byzantines. Should try a no town run at some point

[@Shinsengumi89]

A couple of trade carts between starting base and green is good, pop isn't much of a problem and it beats waiting around to get resources. They intentionally allowed it. It would accommodate the Viper necessities.

[@lordsonnyxixi]

The trick is to attack Red's walls to trigger their defense, and when the camels run through the gate, you run your cavalry through while it's open. You can reach red's town center without sieging anything, and their towers shoot the enemy once you conquer red.

[@ameerm4899]

😂29:40 that was hilarious voice acting and Viper response

[@Teapotstore]

Vipe, Why did not you use trade?)

[@bowlchamps37]

Too easy. But yeah, I would have defended, traded like hell and then massed up army. But I like to get huge army first

[@Neometalll]

I always made a few carts so I wasn't fully relying on the tributes.

[@seancsnm]

trade carts are 100 wood each... Don't think Viper thought of trading but I also don't think he would have been patient enough to wait for resources to trade if he did think of it.

[@michaelcross7665]

Because viper is not a patient man haha

[@logeye888]

trade is the tryhard way to win this map. but it works.

[@ckndr]

No one else knows this? At start of campaign you can run straight into green flag area without breaking down the walls...just select one of your light cav and right click on flag and it will run past castle to open area in other side and convert that town even before your rams reach red walls.

[@lolme1489]

Weren't there Saracens villageres left in the gold camp? (30:31) can't really distinguish the colors, but if so, those could be converted.

[@happytheandy_5912]

Lolme they have the research where if you convert they die, I can't think of the name of the top of my head

[@ppbonan9596]

It's heresy

[@marcdedouvan]

"Who needs battle rams? They are overrated" Especially in castle age limitation: lol! The Viper is very funny in my opinion in his commentaries.

[@ShaileshPanthee]

From my experience of playing this two times, easy way to do it : Green can be captured by simply running in through the back gate by waiting for someone to open the gate. One scout is all it needs to capture green. Then trade with green, it gives 50 gold per trade, then make rams, enter the red base. Then capture yellow, all this while trading with green. You have so much resources by now. After destroying the first castle you can reroute trade to yellow, gives you around 120 G per trip. After taking blue's second castle, queue petards from all three castles. And destroy blue's base.

[@yonokhanman654]

24:34 Oh I hate that part, that locked gate really threw me off as a kid. Still my favourite mission though.

[@lvmlvm]

Can't believe Viper didn't see the monastery of Cappadocia, he even looked for it

[@EngPheniks]

There is an upcoming Turkish movie called "Malazgirt (1071)" It's based on these events.

[@Canuckrz]

So frustrating watching him scroll past the monastery in reds base over and over again then saying, "I still have no monastery"

[@dubistdrann]

Im pretty sure that monastery stayed red when he took over the town, so its true he had none

[@pierrez8570]

Don't worry, longbowmen will not be your nightmare in the next scenario.

[@MALEMization]

Agincourt is the EASIEST of the bunch! Longbowmen own!

[@BrighterSun]

A year has passed and i'm still wonder why you didn't convert those saracens idle vils... Haha.

[@JM-ll2vv]

You can't, heresy is automatically researched so it just kills them instead.

[@MrSafer]

@ 10:10 that's what she said.

[@shift0]

"can not afford to lose cav archers"? :thinking:

[@hergendy]

"Why do I always do things prematurely?"

[@LightShady]

Gee I think that's the first time I've ever heard a complaint about there NOT being lag

[@212mochaman]

Geez turks without gunpowder units? I'd be saying gg as soon as the campaign opens

[@meddz7165]

Destroy the small piece of wall next to the gate instead of the gate????

[@lopez.jacinto.6726]

When you run out of rams, you always can use archers to bring down the gates and unleash the hell

[@yonokhanman654]

Finally, my favourite mission in the base game. :D

36:01 "Don't kill the monk. Don't be that guy." 5 seconds later - kills 4 monks.

[@felixcroc]

36:10 "Don't kill the monk, don't be that guy" *kills 5 or 6 enemy monks*

[@bendesu1]

14:26 "Give Me Your Extra Resources" .... 14:46 how about some stone?

[@noxious8]

I started this mission by doing 3 mangonels instead of rams... no repair vills... gg... Second try i liked it. I already thought it is over for Viper after losing the rams, but he just took the gate with cavarchers. Good Job Mr. Viper!

[@rocko0214]

By watching the best AOE2 player on the planet i've learned that '''just do it'' is a very efective go to strategy.

[@SatyaVenugopal]

[@TheIrishEnigma]

Wait, so what did defeating the Saracens even do? Pisidia's gold tribute only shrank through the game, not increase.

[@alperenbaser5595]

You could maybe convert villagers

[@CrnaStrela]

can you use monk to steal the saracen's remaining villager? IIRC they have heresy so I can't steal it

[@NerdGlassGamingPA]

You pronounced Kapadokya right the first time :D ( then changed) ... And It should have sounded like Selchuk not Selyuk... but the even the game says Selyuk so yeah whateva :D

[@marcdedouvan]

Desperate tip of the day: you can rest the swordmen in your tower and let them destroy gates and go back every time one is low in hit points (slow and steady! (^_-)). But the cav archers did the job anyway (like turtles fight (^_^)).

[@amunako]

I think all yellow units die when you take over their town.

It hurts how Viper is constantly gold/wood-locked in the campaigns, yet he never sends trade-carts to allies :O

[@zhewaxen3047]

Andreas Eriksson Because there's no reason to. Viper won before trade would've paid for itself.

[@T3aoclock]

Zhewaxen strongly disagree. the game was very drawn out. a few carts would have paid of fairly quickly.

[@iceluffy9055]
