- In this video I review one of the most annoying strategies I have seen in this beautiful game of AoE2. I said in the video that this is the fourth episode of the entire series, it is actually the fifth!

When you're such a nice person that you build walls for your opponent's base......and add a Castle on top just for extra protection.
Julius Caesar literally did this. He was the first cheeser in history.
XD 👍
What was he gonna do? A huge army was marching, impossible to fend off. LETS BUILD A WALL!!
Soviet style protection
@@drewmandan The prince bishop did it to Munster during the 16th century Anabaptist rebellion. Great story, ended in horrific torture and execution.
The developers must be French, it looks like they treat forests as impenetrable.
This comment needs more likes.
Definitely
burns forest*
sooooooo.... your strategy was... flawed?
Smart and funny xD
what about the gauls though
I played so many hundreds of hours of this game 10-15 years ago. I had no idea that this game was still being played, and stunned to see that it has a competitive crowd. Awesome!
Bro I am right with you! So much nostalgia mixed with absolute surprise that this game is still getting the attention it always deserved.
Yea, I actually started playing recently(I played age of mothology quite a bit years ago, but not that much AoE 2), doing the campaigns and some skirmish modes, might go play some multiplayer games eventually too and I can totally appreciate how this game survived the test of time and with a bunch of fun & interesting strats to do. I've been playing LoL for the past years now, and that game is soooooooooo boring, all about 100-0ing some1 with a champ with a bunch of dashes. I envy AoE 2 players lul.
not only is it still being played, but the most recent official expansion for it was released in 2016.
they got remastered too
Same! 10 years ago for me
The Roman Conquest of Alesia. 52 B.C. (colourised)
Too soon, panda. Too soon...
I'm going to watch the vid later, but I immediately thought of the Roman 'sacking' technique.
To quote Asterix & The Chieftain's Shield. "We don't talk about Alesia so there!!"

>thinks old times are monochrome
the gates are at the enemy
FROM MY POINT OF VIEW THE GATES ARE THE ENEMY!
rofl
Tbh, the counter to this is probably some sort of proxy build play (for those who watch the competitive sc2 scene. Sending it out early, trick them, show up with a roflstomp army behind the wall when you realize they hit the point where they spent too much resources securing it. Making sure not to reveal your hand too early, and appear you are playing behind as if you are just a bit slow to gather things in the back. Get the reaction of "omfg, I walled you out, how are you in my base destroying my shit?"
The trick is definitely more towards knowing the person you are playing against, and planning it out on your RND map properly (at least in SC2, it was more about knowing each map and where to proxy)
@@phillycheesetake Well then you have LOST!!
@@Adeon55 It's over, I have the high ground!
It's called "circumvallation". It was a tactic utilized by Gaius Iulius Cæsar during his siege of the Gallic oppidum of Alesia. His legionaries over the course of a few days, had built two walls surrounding the town, the inner track being 23 miles and the outer track being 26. With this tactic, he was able to defeat the beleaguered Gauls from the city and an army sent to break the siege which in total was six times the size of his own army. It's one of Cæsar's most famous battles.
That's pretty kool that it has actually ben used at some point in history.
It would be amazing to see someone manage a circumvallation in a team game: pull off walling someone off and then wall that wall off from an ally trying to break them out with another defensive line.
he could build a wall cause he was already besieging the city and the surrounding people fled into the city walls, which was normal till 17th century. btw. it was less a wall than a fortification, which the romans often times did when besieging enemys, setting up a camp for their troops.
it was only bigger then previous ones. just to make clear. the army was not 6 tims bigger you talk about the numbers the romans used or julius himself. it was well known even by later roman historians that in the antique, in battles, romans, greeks and so on on purpose made the numbrs bigger, then thy actually were to make it look like the victory was even greater and for political gains.
the same was for reducing the numbrs of casualties then the actually were. till vietnam war, this number fakeing ,was still used to justify wars too.
the number of roman troops was probably correct with 70k included the supporting troops. the gauls had probably a 40-60k strong army otside and around 15k-25k man inside alesia but whom a goood numbeer were demoralized and started to starve, thats why vercingetorix sent children, sick, old and women outside but julius did not let them pass and insted let them die slowly.
the army could not be that big, cause of previous battles the gauls fought, the overall population in the area surrounding it, alesia as a city would never had more enough space for so many, the tactics the romans used could only have beena chieved with equal numbrs otherwise they would have been completely obliterated. they did in fact break through the lines multiple times. people rly forget that especially the celts were not savages but highly skilled warriors, traders, merchants and so on. they adapted roman culture and other things befor their downfall same goes for romans adapting certain techniques in their early stages as a citystate. gauls did btw. no cease to exist they just integrated pretty ell into roman society and were know in the roman army for thei loyalty and greater gaul provinces were one of the most stable ones in the empire.
maybe one explanation for this misconception is because often people think, gauls/celts were the same then germans. after reading literature i even would say. celts were closer culturally to romans then they were to germans. another misconception. gauls were the same then celts. gauls were normally refered to celts in todays france. other areas of celts had been captured and integrated into the roman empire befor. also celts were not a humonigous society. there were certain things of rituals, art, religion the same but other things different in all of europe. since celts stretched from the iberian peninsula, to britain, central europe, central turkey, balkan, alps and eastern europe.

walling was pretty common for Romans back then. In his first encounter against Pompeij in Greece he lost the wall game. Both bukd like 30km of walls to try and wall the other off
Remember lads, the war started because two sheep went missing. They must have been more beautiful than Helen of Troy.
Maybe they had golden fleece?
Scotts at it again
I hope yellow s mother gets cancer
Maybe a ascendant of john wick?

Now there's gonna be 2 weeks of tryhards trying to wall you in every single game. GG T90.
lol I know right
From all my years of playing non-professionally, I thought this was a fairly common tactic.
@@pwntwtf it is a fairly common tactic. Just not in this high tiers of play. It's so random. One villager sent to harvest outside the main town and it would have been over for yellow. The pro level players will always do things a little differently. I always farm as much stone as I can get as early as I can get it because of castles. But clearly, that's not the case with pro players. :)
I only gonna buy game for doing this and I only played this game when I was 7 years old :D
You can get it for free on the pirate bay. lol
Easiest way to break free from being walled in like that? Have your villages start chopping the thinnest section of trees. Once you fell the tree, you can place a build site down which will remove the felled tree, just remove the build site before it has hitpoints and you lose nothing. Do this repeatedly and you'll break out of the trees.
My favorite map type is Black Forest, my mother taught me to use the trees to my advantage, cutting pathways through the forests using Onager. It's very easy to dominate the map when you your effectively editing the battlefield to your advantage. Set up shop next to a small lake to fish farm, and free up the small amount of space for buildings by not needing to farm on land.
your mum most be an op player
@@gemo3644 Me and my mother have been competing with each other with various strategy games since she first started teaching me chess when I was 3yo. We've played other types of games together though, our favorites being GW2 and MtG. I only ever beat her at AoE2 once.
@@erianle123547 what a nice, inteligent mother, congratulations. I guess she really wanted to develop your critical thinking and logic in a way both can enjoy.
There were towers, though.
9:30 "Plan A was lame."
Great puns, T90, great puns.
I love doing this to the A.I. because it breaks them. If you close them in enough you can just place walls around the parameter and watch them continually through villagers into death trying to get to resources because it doesn't register how much you've corner them. LOL
Yep. I had a single castle up on their main gold and they suicided 30 vills into it trying to build something behind it. Wtf AI 😂
@GloriousTapeworm want a cheesiest strat max diff? stack boats on their shores and just focus on villagees, they'll keep generating more till they run outta food
The not original AI counter you
A.I. in Age of Empires II is totally stupid, Age of Empires Online has an insanely great A.I., you should try it!!
lol
"He borrowed the boar", that cracked me up:)
"I'm not locked in here with you, you're locked in here with me!"
Watchmen reference.
12:40: "a b c d e f- OH MY GOD THE VILLAGERS HOPPED THROUGH!" *dead*
Imagine if Yellow also used the market to sell as much of their stone food and wood just so blue couldn't get much gold from the market.
Such pure evil damnnn
"Omg! Omg, the villagers just walked in!"
Haha you won't hear that every aoe2 replay.
i always wanted to see this but now
this is a war crime
r u mad
The war that started with stealing sheep.
It's been something like 20 years since I last played AoE2, but I'm really enjoying some of these videos; it's bringing it all back! This was just amazing!
Women and men are able to be picked off by plumed archers.
This is progression.
"the current meta"... Ironic hearing that in 2018 for a game made in 1999.
The game is receiving regular patches AFAIK, last one on Sep 6, 2018.
Chess has a meta.
Chess is much older.
What about Go?
Even older.
You'll get used to it. What I mean is, games don't just vanish into a blackhole a year after it's created. Some can last a long time.
@@BuFFoTheArtClown Great games do at any rate, or more like legendary ones. As a diamond level of League of Legends player, I envy this greatly, my game's so popular yet so boring, you never see sh1t like this, just play OP champ and dash dash dash 100-0 some1, win. Heck, I've been looking to start playing AoE2 or Mythology again, at least watching these replays and playing the campaigns is a blast for now.
Thank you! @@MgMast3r
the depth is so amazing aoe2 dont need graphics
Is noone going to point out this is probably the best way to leverage the half-priced mayan walls? lol
i never thought aoe would be fun to watch but the way you explain everything and your commentary just really makes it interesting i love this
"All your base are belong to us"
I played this game on the MSN gaming zone. First multi player game some one built a castle next to my Tc.. I did not know what I was doing! Just downloaded it again on steam.. Now need to get some time to play to learn it proper! You've made it sound so good again
So that's how the Mayans repelled the Berber Expeditionary Jihad of 1483.
The only "luck" I see with this strategy is that Spring didn't have any resources behind his TC. If he had even a 4 tile gold in the back of his base, the outcome might've been different…
Spring was "completely trapped" because he had no quick way to go to castle age before Timothy and get some siege and rams to batter these walls down… because there was no gold to collect. You add the surprise of the strategy, time to take it into consideration, reorganize his whole economy and build… no wonder he lost.
He should have put a tower on his side of the wall at the main gold that would have stopped timo from adding layers so that he could break free.
Yellow was lucky that blue never sent a single villager to harvest outside of his own town or it would have ended right then and there. But then, it is a pretty small map they're playing on.
Nah, thinking the trick would have been to know who he was, and had builders make a surprise for him in the back, while not revealing too much as in a lack of units and 'omfg, you walled me in'... When spent too much - destroy the fuckers main. It has been used successfully on other RTS games in containment. The trick is to not be properly scouted before you lay your trap, mind games.
It is a common tactic as an early sort of rush in a game like SC2; but it kind of works like what tarrker is talking about. You can't wall properly everywhere, and if they come from behind you and you didn't think of it - suddenly you wasted a lot of resources that will not help you save the game for yourself.
moral of the story: when you lame, karma strikes back. Don't lame boys ... or gals (gals can also lame in 2018)
I was so happy that Spring have paid for his laming
I actually really enjoy when people lame, adds some spice to an otherwise boring few minutes to the start of a game. But that said, I enjoy watching a lame backfire like this even more.
Watch the final episode of the Hidden Cup to see that moral taken to the extreme :P
Lame is when you deny a boar or annoy them early game I assume. Don't play AoE2 but i'm taking a guess based on the vid.
Basically stealing sheep and boars
Donald trump's wet dream
Edgy, bro. Isn't it funny how in the sandbox universe of videogames, we all immediately recognize how effective walls are at keeping unwanted people out of an area, even to the point of cracking jokes about it?
Well obviously walls are effective in a video game where no one can climb.
Walls are effective in video games where you can climb as well...
@@crimsonsr7113 right lol ... LIBERAL LOGIC: "People can climb, therefore walls are pointless" Yeah lol tell that to the Chinese or anyone who ever constructed a wall for that matter
@@crimsonsr7113 but then again I suppose if they were at all skilled at logical reasoning and critical thinking they wouldn't be brainwashed liberals in the first place.
This is basic siegecraft, you _should_ see it more often, at least in Arena matches and against opponents who elect to play defensively. Not the right strategy for this map, but Spring -was trolling with his scout- had reassigned his scouting element to offensive duties, and Timotheus has brilliantly exploited his? superior real-time military intelligence to pull it off. I assume that Timotheus knows his opponent well and that this was probably a premeditated strategy
he says episode four, but the title says otherwise
this is reverse attack on titan
I want to share one of the lamest strats ever, it's from Total Annihilation game, you spam your commander in that game to build a Aircraft plant, then spam out a transporter, fly over to your enemy base and collect their commander, that basicly stops him from doing anything. Then you build 9 LLTs back a bit from your own base, fly your enemy commander over there and drop him in the middle, he will die after 15 seconds. Works on all AI difficulties and all human players who are not aware of what is going on (or hasn't seen a transporter before). Thanks for a good video btw ;) love AOE2 and this was insane :D
"THE WALL WASN'T TO KEEP OUT THE THEM, IT WAS TO KEEP IN THE YOU!"
That is probably as close as it gets for optimal area control walling. I have often thought players don't give themselves enough space inside their own walls. This was dang near perfect! Well done. =)
Trump approve this Strategy
I love these. I subscribed specifically to see future troll games like this. Even if they aren't "better" or "more" annoying; you could still call them "very annoying" or something like that. These videos are pure gold.
How beautiful and oddly satisfying was this? It was so annoying that it was beautiful.
I love watching your vids. The commentary is fire. Keep up the good work fam!
T90 I think everyone does the alphabets in their mind once in a while, at least I know I do. I just can't remember the order out of my memory just randomly :'D
why bother .. s or t .. doesnt everyone know that t follows s ... when you have to do the alphabet song it is a sign that you dont actually know what letter is at what place .... heck l and m are the middle of the alphabet ... after that it's east
@@0623kaboom The reason we make songs and jingles and cronyms, is to remember. It's not a sign that "we dont know what letter is where" It's just confirming instead of stating. Theres nothing wrong with saying lmnop, or qrst, or tuvw. Kind of like multiplication on 9s, I know them, but i still use my hands to double check my answer. Some people just like to check themselves.
My check for nines is that the two digits of the answer add up to nine. What's this finger verification wizardry?
T90, I love the content, been watching these whilst kicking back and raking it in with roulette, a cup of tea and a cigarette. No doubt having a lot of fun watching someone not have fun lol
Can't believe people don't scout with anything. Few seconds of scouting periodically and this never happens to you.
Knowledge is power.
AoE lacked gatehouses, this motivated me to build corridors of death, where the enemy had to cross half the map with a gazillion towers shoting them.
Amazing game thanks for casting. Great revenge for laming though :))
First game i ever watched, got me into AOE2 watching, though i don't play. great job!
Damn Timotheus gave him a wedgie and pulled his underpants over his head.
getting towered/walled is always a sign of underestimation. You don't expect that on a high level, but it still happens, especially when you have a certain expectance: 'He won't do that'. Yes, he will...
Gaza simulator
Dude not cool 😀😀😀
AWESOME COMMENT! XD XD XD
Shieeet
spring was laming, thats worst
bought the land
I actually quite like the Twitch chat, it's hilarious that your emotes perfectly described what was going on!
I was playing this game when I was 17 years old back in '99. Great game, and probably the only strategy game I enjoyed playing, but my internet was super slow back in those days.
in AOEIII we used to make a circular wall around enemy TC right at the beginning of the game and right at the building edge limit, then (if they didnt just resign) we'd treat them like a caged animal, control their farms, villager/troops numbers demanding they address us as gods lol. For excitement we'd force feed them fat sheep so they'd make troops and attempt to escape, but they never get out of our impenetrable quadruple wall system with towers/troops et lol it was some of the best most sadistic fun ive had in gaming
Love you! I've been watching almost all the big games from the past 2-3 years, but have never been on Twitch, mainly beacuse of the time...anyway, keep up the good work.
Btw, I have never played AoE online, but I still watch you daily.
Much love my friend
A, b, c, d, e, f-OH MY GOD THE VILLAGERS HOPPED THROUGH, OMG.
there was a game in a tournament when viper got entirely walled in. He had his resources 'thou
agree
I've never seen or played this game but this looks hilarious as hell.
the skill and reaction to situation from both players are incredibly magnificent, kudos for both of them!
This is also a really good strategy in masters of orion, especially if you play a spiral galaxy. You don't develop the technology to jump spiral arms till later on in the game, so if you can quickly identify the opponent you're sharing your spiral arm with, you can settle systems in a way that cuts him off and pins him into a corner while you colonize the rest of the arm. It's super passive aggressive. By the time they resort to war and border breaches to break out, there should be a big enough disparity in your respective resources that they become an easy target.
Timotheus got lucky with Springs gold being so far away from his TC, but he did well to take advantage of that fact. Excellent execution!
If I were Spring, I would have placed a lumber camp on the right forest. Trying to chop my way out while pretending im trying to break through the gold on the left. Make lots of light cav and rush to his eco. While hes busy saving his eco, theres plenty of time to take down the walls on the right and access the gold. Still, better said than done. GG
Your commentary during the match was very entertaining it was like listening to a sport's announcer.
I think its kind of fun to build up a grand army, absurdly propped up, bring down the walls and forts and hit the focal point with elite troops and flood the area with semi-elite troops or trash units.
lul noob just make flying units
aoe2 doesnt have flying utnis
r/woosh
Right. Just make some orcas or firehawks.
Just a few mutas would have done the trick.
Frost wyrms
That last castle was insult to injury.
i didn't realize competitive AOE was a thing. I thought that AOE was pretty much dead.
You were very confused, there are more people now than 10 years ago.
its crazy, they relleased everal expansion packs quite recently.
The dude that posted this video got a Twitch account as well. I've seen it live and they go so in depth, dope shit all around and just a great community altogether. Just people loving strategy games and taking it to the next level. I highly recommend sitting down and watch this one from start to finish: ruclips.net/video/CTRwNlRaw9Y/видео.html Last time I played AoE2 was probably 10+ years ago and I've played it a handful of times, still have fun as they explain enough to understand as an outsider.
Kinda reminds me of other classic RTS games, like Starcraft and Warcraft 3. Despite their age, there's a competitive scene for them still. I didn't realize there was still a WC3 scene until I got on Twitch and saw Grubby (that wasn't the discovery moment), and then learned through his chat that there are in fact still some pros circulating, and tourneys held. You probably couldn't really live on the winnings anymore, but tourneys are still held all the same. The Starcraft competitive scene apparently never died, it just lost some popularity to other big games, which makes sense. It was still televised until something like 2012, but plenty of tourneys still circulate around S. Korea, what with the guys of Tastosis apparently living there specifically to cast them along with some SC2, and Starcraft still pulls well over 15k+ players on the daily.
@@leonardomiotti3181 why tho? what does this game has to draw in crowd of players after 20 years.
Got walled in recently as well. Additionally, the guy managed to build a castle within that wall and shoot me with Janissaries. Guess I have to level up my scouting...
The arena we didn't expect.
Great video T90! Amazing play from Timotheus, that is one of the most ingenious strats I've ever seen!
Legendary match
just recently stumbled on your profile. Played AoE2 passionately several years back, always singleplayer. although i was a kid/adolecent back then, seeing this i think i would get completely annihilated in MP
I've felt that move before, it's a rough move. However, my economy was entirely unaffected, as I was Built around selling Food from the start, removing my access to Gold slowed me down for only 2 minutes, at which point I immediately spammed an extra 20 Farms to compensate, within 15 minutes I was breaching the Walls at record speed, and had even managed to get behind the Walls because I'd Micro Managed through the Trees using a swarm of Villagers.
By the time their Troops had maneuvered to cut my advance off, it was too late, I was raiding the defensive structure on the other side of the enclosure, a perfect Feint Attack, backed up by Catapults and Archers.
Sadly, they'd been preparing a similar strategy, so I ended up dying about 20 min later when they showed up with their own Armada. Their war of attrition had hit me unexpectedly in my Wood reserves, causing me to stall at the worst possible moment, and they just rolled right through me because of it.
My kill ratio broke 130 that match though, they thanked me for being one of the best fights they'd had all week lol
6:47 they removed the bug haha
Legit posted an Age of Empires 2 strategy in 2018
i just noticed that the background crest/coat of arms in the game menu is the one used by the emirate of granada before it was taken by the reconquista
😂😂😂 actually got first cause, Straya mate!
I haven't actually played this in years so I could be wrong, but IIRC you can build on top of trees which have been cut down and cause them to disappear. Spring might have been able to cut down some of the trees (which weren't walled around) and build ghost palisades or something to get rid of the cut trees to break through without Timotheus being alerted.
Only works with stragglers man. Tho I think it'd be a good idea to make a RMS (map script) where all woodlines are made from stragglers
Escape Gaming Elimination Draft Round 1 Game 1 Viper vs Tatoh. Tatoh walls Viper in! Not quite this level but *VERY VERY* close!
YES. Was about to comment this
Got link for that game?
Awesome game and great cast!
I WILL BUILD A WALL
And make the Berbers (blue player) pay for it!
If you can pull it off - this one works even better in 0AD (which has many AOE parallels), because how the walls work in that game. Basically they allow more stretching for material, high hitpoints, and you can garrison ranged units in them for some firepower defense without dedicated towers. Differences mainly being you've got to get to the second stage and get a lot of stone fast, also dealing with territory influence and knowing how to counter or exploit it.
I have a small dick.
This is a sc2 strategy :) starving your opponent is huge
WC3 tower rush
This was a great commentary and a good game. Subbed!
Timotheus is Julius Caesar
Good lord, you really are everywhere. I've seen this ninja ppst comments on other random videos.
we've had walling in as a strat - it was in a Gold Rush tourney game and IIRC was one of Res' Break The Meta vids.
It is kinda sad seeing fortnite players have 10, 20, 30k + viewers and a good aoe player can connect his voobly to twitch and still only get 5 messages from his chat over the course of a game :(
Fortnite is a billion times more popular than AoE
@@HeloisGevit are you an idiot or why do you state the obvious? Obviously I was saying that exactly this is sad, as AoE is a great game and this comic garbage rules the world.
You got an attitude problem and anger issues bud, that's no way to speak to people. People like different things, and that's OK, deal with it.
Helois Gevit it’s the internet, if you say stupid things you’re gonna get burned
@@jeannebouwman1970 thats if he said anything stupid tho which he did not he stated the truth regardless of how much i hate fortnite hes not wrong.
you make a single mangonel and destroy the woods that were not covered in this case, easy escape that most people forget
Trump could learn a thing or two from this guy
a strategy i used in the first AoE was to make walls and leave an entrance made of a long corridor with towers on each side. the AI in that game always followed the path of least resistance towards the target. the main target was the town hall and it prioritized threats it met on the way, so as long as there was a free path to the target, the AI army would ignore walls that posed no threat so the enemies did not try to break them and make another entrance. so they walker right in the towers and were killed on the way. now you will ask why did they not attack the towers since they were a threat and that is again based on the path of least resistance. the towers were placed in a Π shaped wall that was open from the town side so the AI again ignored the direct route that required the demolition of the wall and tried to get to the towers by walking along the entire length of the corridor to enter the tower area from the opening and took damage all along the way with barely any soldier reaching the target.
i never really tried to see if that strategy works in AoE2
You know what my favorite fruit is?
The Plum-ed archer!
Badum-tss!
That's not how puns work, bro.
I still chuckled. There's nothing better than a lovingly crafted lame joke. :D
@@crimsonsr7113 Indeed, atleast somebody's smart enough to understand ;D
You're implying I'm not smart enough? I understand, but that's not how puns work. Puns are based on how words _sound_ , not how they're spelled. "Plumed" is pronounced with a long "u" so "plum" is never heard during the pronunciation of "plumed." Before you accuse someone of not being "smart enough," have some modesty and check your facts beforehand.
@@timjung640 I don't wanna be rude or anything, but I think you're going too much into detail. The lame joke "plum-ed archer" is already quite old and it has always been meant as a lame joke, although since jokes stop being jokes when you overuse them, people kinda forgot it ever existed some time ago. So, I wanted to bring back the good ol' memories that the people who have been around for long enough still remember. This also sorta uncovers the fact you probably thought I made that one up (which I certainly haven't) and also that you can't be familiar with the AoE community for too long, else you'd have known. I hope I satisfy you with this explanation as I never meant to create a fuss over such a stupid thing. Have a nice day sir!
This is what I used to do to defeat the hardest AI in Age Of Empires 1, in particular in the Carthage campaign of the Rise of Rome trial as there were no working cheat codes to fall back on.

He Julius Caeser'd His ass man hahahaha, Poor Guy.
This was NOT an annoying strategy. It was a beautifully crafted advanced strategy that involved risk and skill. Just because someone doesn't play as you want them to (no walls, laming, or towers) doesn't make it "annoying". I'm guessing you feel this way because you are so weak against those strats!
its like in starcraft... deviate slightly from the standard macro play and ppl say u cheese.
Annoying for the opponent, I don't think he meant it in a bad way.
Annoying for people used to the meta; it's brilliant, and we all admit that. But what do you do? You have to be creative, and that's the crazy thing.
meta makes you predictable. Caught off guard is always a winning strategy!
Well, annoying, imo, means good.
If your opponent is not annoyed, you're not playing the game right.
The goal is to win, isn't it?
spirit of the law would have known that 99/14 is closer to a 7 k/d... Great video! Thanks for the awesome content!
Mad lad is using Caesar's strategy from Alessia.
If I am not mistaken, I believe it is possible to destroy forests with onagers. Maybe only seige onagers... also, what about chopping down a tree with just one hit then leaving it, I think that they decay after a while.
I watched this years ago, around the time I started watching you. My god, I'd love to see more shenanigans like this.
I used to this too :$ , after the walling it's a matter of attrition warfare, kill more than he can replace
