I'm glad there's finally an option out there for the camel-curious. Not that I'M camel-curious. No sir, I'm definitely all about the knight line. But I'm glad it's an option. For those other people.
berbers are the best civilization in the game I think , all you need to do is create camel riders , camel archers and siege weapons , best combination ever . The game designers did a great job with the Berbers , they didn't do a great job with the Saracens , the special unit is ridiculous , its a ninja on a east Asian Mongolian camel that throws a huge sword ??? For the Saracens I would have added a camel rider with a musket , the camel should not be a Mongolian camel , its historically inaccurate
I love Berber history, it's crazy how much influence they had over the mediterranean for so long, while going often unmentioned. Really glad to see them repped in aoe.

I played AoE2 when I was less than 10 years old. Now I'm 25 years old, watching SotL's highly informative videos before bed for both nostalgia and relaxation after a long day. Keep it up, SotL!
How did Berber kingdom make a living during the time of AOE 2? Malians had mines, Egyptians had farms, Saracens had spice trades, what did Berbers, who located on the opposite end of Mediterranean sea had for the source of money? And did Berbers turned to piracy in Age of Empires 3 (16-17th century) because they lost it?

Ah yes, my favorite anti-Mongol and anti-Hun civilization. Great stuff. One thing you should've mentioned with the Berber water bonus, though, is that it makes their Fire Ships and Demo Ships much more capable of reaching their targets. 10% speed might seem modest, but on water that's a big difference. For instance, it lets Berber Fast Fire Ships catch Viking Longboats, whereas every other civilization's ships (besides Demo ships) get outrun by Longboats.
@@nguyenhuyduc9151 genituar are amazing though. I've personally held the line against 3 enemies at once with genitaur massed, camels, and bombard cannons to counter onagers.
I watch a new civ overview by Spirit. I think "Hey it's a nice civ, I should try it". I go online and get destroyed by cavalry all over my villagers. Every. Damn. Time.
I love your videos and all the tactics that you're outlying, even thought I'm incredibly slow thinking and would never be able to play competetive online.
I love this civ. Just played them. They're awesome. Tons of options for killing archers, cavalry, and infantry. Get a few battering rams and you've got a stew goin.
i m a berberian my old family used to live in mountains in Morocco they had a lot of good horses and they were using raiding parties against the french so it make sence for me
8:40 That's assuming every camel in your army is injured simultaneously. Monks/Missionaries can focus the healing where it's actually needed, while camels can't.

I always thought that the Berbers would be the most OP of the African Kingdom civs when they were first being talked about. I felt this way because I always considered "Good Knight rush" to be synonymous with "Good civ", and Berbers had an awesome Knight rush. This made me come to the conclusion that they were going to be over powered and make for a stale meta. Now days, I feel like they're just perfectly balanced. I don't play them much since I'm not one for Knight rushing, but when I land them on random, I do enjoy myself. As for a request...I know you'll probably be doing all the African Kingdoms civs now. But when you get to Rise of the Rajas, can you do my favourite civ in the game (Yes, even more than the Byzantines D:), the Khmer?
What about berbers bonus of movement speed and both wheelbarrow and hand cart? In video you showed just table for wheelbarrow. When we count generic villager with both wheelbarrow and hand cart its speed is 0,968 on the other hand berber villager with both has speed 1,0648. Thank you for amazing video and answer to my question :) PS I am starting to be curious about ratio of gathering, walking and bringing of resources to TC during farming.
2:49 somehow watching that boar sprint after the villager while Spirit's casually explaining in the background cracked me up. P.S. can't wait for the Ethiopians!
I like how you look at different team bonuses with the special team units. Man all these expansion units being anti - unit type - unit type. I wonder if the Indian tech is bugged then, with it not performing as expected? Oh that's nice, I haven't really played the Berbers and I like playing the Mongols for their sweet Mangudai and how fun they are to control so that's cool that the camel archers have a quick response time. I'm disappointed there was no Rock the (C)Kasbah joke.
Is the porcentage of improved collection of resources, calculated by group or by individual villager? Cause if its by individual villager then it would stack up
ok 2 questions. first, does the ship speed boost apply to trade cogs. second, does the dry dock speed boost apply to trade cogs or do they only get the one speed boost from caravans?
Could you please make a video comparing all the civs archers to figure out wich is the best. For example is the post imperial Italain or Veitemese Arbelest better? Or do the etheopians have better archers because they fire faster? I am also curious if the Briton Arbelests compete with other archer civs even though they lack thumb ring?
I remember the genitour from the scenario editor; it was just a militia that tossed spears. Does that mean they meant to include Barbers in AoC? Would've been interesting to see Burgers alongside Persians and Saracens.
Could you do a video on team bonuses and diplomacy? (or on diplomacy in general) like does allying someone give them the bonuses/unique units immediately (is there a delay?), do they have to ally you back as well?, like if I'm in a team game and I decide to attack a former ally, do I still keep their team bonus? (pretty sure not though) if someone goes hostile on an italian player and they had condottieri queued are they cancelled? I for one want to see more open diplomacy games (locked teams causes a runaway winner problem if you ask me, just look at SotL's last road to 1800 video)
Hey Spirit, your comment about camels in the expansions got me thinking. Have you done a video just on the base (non civ) differences between base and new expansions in HD? I hadn't realized they had made that change to camels and would be interested to learn more now that I am finally branching out and playing expansion games online as well.
i think they hate camel so much. only one job for them is counter knight, but sometimes pike can do it easily! back to my day when play palmyrian in aoe 1 with camel rush!
Spirit, I think that there may be another advantage to the naval speed bonus-- being able to get reinforcements to the front quicker than your opponent can. I'm not sure how this could be tested however.
Hey Spirit, I'd argue that the ship speed bonus gives their fire ships and demos a nice advantage on water. It's small, but being able to close the gap a bit faster with those units makes can make a huge difference in the long run!
Just to add, I also think that the no minimum range on the Inca Genitour might actually harm it when dealing with pikes. That automatic retreat it does when it's out of range would be a nice defense mechanism when surrounded by pikemen.
1:51 Since this video might have new players in the audience, it might be worth noting that the "faster walk speed" bonus is not primarily an economic bonus. The more important factor of this bonus is that it enables Berber player to move villagers around the map faster, which is very useful in various situations: nomad, build military buildings next to your enemy, laming, boxing your enemy with walls, rushing for far away gold or stone mines, etc.. The bonus is a utility which enables all kinds of shenanigans and the economic upsides of the bonus are just side effects; not it's primary function.
the villager speed bonus is good in nomad. It'll get your villagers to the TC site quicker and if you get into a villager war you can either get away from them or it's hard for them to get away from you.

Doesn't the ship speed count for trading cogsas well? It would give you much faster trading.

I hadn't realized they had made that change to camels and would be interested to learn more now that I am finally branching out and playing expansion games online as well.
They should also remove the current +1 bonus vs camels imo, because camels already have less pierce armor then knights.
i think they hate camel so much. only one job for them is counter knight, but sometimes pike can do it easily! back to my day when play palmyrian in aoe 1 with camel rush!
