Just a small note for the mathematicians out there. Hera is correct saying that Illumination will cut the faith regeneration in half (almost, from 62 to 33 sec). The tech tree has a mistake in it. It should say: "Monks and Missionaries regain their faith 87.5% faster after a successful conversion" not 50% since you need 100% faster refill to cut the time in half. Source: aoe2 wiki.
Good and informative video! However, I'm lacking unique technologies too, especially since the name of the video is "All Monk Technologies", not just "Monastery Technologies")
Should they bring back the AOE1 tech Sacrifice - it means when your monks are wololo ing, if you delete your monk, you instantly get the conversion on the enemy unit. OP ???
6:42 Unfortunately Malay are the only elephant civ that get access to Heresy :(. Would personally not mind giving heresy to some more battle elephant civs.
In this case is conversion resistance. The baseline for most unit is 5 seconds minimum, 9 second maximum (And with appropriate upgrades/civ bonuses both numbers go up, with Devotion and Faith it bumps up to +9 min, +14 max)
HEY CHAMP! I'VE BEEN PLAYING TEUTONS DEFENSIVE WITH TEUTONIC KIGHT, SOME RANGED UNIT(HAND CANNON), MONKS, (AT LEAST 10) WITH ALL TECHS. BACKING THE PUSH WITH SOME BOMBARD TOWER AND BOMBARD CANNON ITS JUST BEAUTIFULL. PLEASE DO IT SOME TIME.
im Surprised you say Redemption over Fervor. Fervor is my first monk Tech every time. Sanctity being second i usually dont get Redemption until Castle. the Gold demand is just to high. But your the pro not me lol.

yeah that's just classic aoe 2 tooltips being god awful
Yep, if it really was 50% faster as stated it would reduce the total recharge time only by 33% (1/1.50 total recharge time)
10:30 "ten monks worth of juice" 🤨
Monk juice is real, we cant waste it
@@HeraAgeofEmpires2 Monk juice sounds like a cool band name.
Yo Hera, thanks for the video. In the same genre, I would be really interested in a video regarding the ins & out of the market
Next vid: monks follow up: the unique techs
Love your analysis that you can back up with experience at the highest levels of play.
I forgot the Siege Elephants can only be converted when the monks are close
Monks using their juice to convert enemies

Also missed him mentioning the use of speed ans HP for warrior priests and bohemian vils.
"Devotion is the prerequisite of faith"
I know some theologians who would like to have a word with you.
Huns UT atheism should give a conversion resistance
Honestly makes more sense than the dumb relic thing. Huns typically don’t have a unit that is countered by monks anyway.
from the name, I think it would make the most sense if you lost access to your own monks as well
@@user-sl6gn1ss8p LOL maybe monks become warriors of some kind, cant heal nor convert
@@agustinfranco0 a few centuries later and they could become keyboard warriors
I would have been nice to have a short summary at the end about which of these are universally available, and which are available to only few civs.
"I recommend you pick heresy if you have elephants" so like if you're Malays ?
11 because malay is the only elephant civ with heresy?
yes
2:20 Guys! He's going for redemption... and monks, ok?

Much better if you can explain what is pierce aromor + and - in those , attack and hp ?

can convert petard and flaming camel without redemption? they siege
Is it just me who knows how every ability works in any game I've played but still sucks at the game?
Me as well
lambo ?
Can you make a video top 10 reasons britons need thumb ring in next patch?
just asking for totally unbiased reasons
I would also love to see this!
"Nerf britons please" guy would be mad
No, they don't
Their extended range already powerful
@@muhammadnuralhafiz reason 1 to give briton thunb ring:
i play briton
How do people micro monks? Do you select each monk individually and then a target?
Yeah or "go to next idle military unit" hotkey, since monks are considered military units
Or have 1 monk in each control group for control groups 4 to 9
GOOD GAME
Post Devotion, I think monastery techs is more appropriate, as 4/11 now affect things besides monks.
9/11 of the techs don’t affect monk range and monk health😢

Wololo...
i thought theocracy also had the benefit that a group of monks convert faster than a single monk. is that true?
Good question. I'd like to know the answer as well.
Each monk has their individual minimum and maximum time. The more monks you use, the higher the chance that one of them will finish the job early.
No, there is no impact of theocracy. The group of monks is converting exactly the same "speed" as without.

MONKS SHOULD BE ABLE TO HEAL THEMSELF, AS A BERSERKER OR EVEN FASTER. ITS A KNOWN FACTS THAT MONKS KNOWS ABOUT MEDICINE IN MANY CULTURES.
You forgot three monk techs actually: Hussite reforms (Bohemians), Inquisition (Spanish) and Mahayana (Bengalis).

@@samganchiff8820 the title refers to *monk* techs.
