Hey, i am TechNils. As you might not have noticed, i am quite familiar to the game. I have close to 800 ranked games at 850 ELO now, slowly climbing... But: I did not play my best at all. Here is why: First excuse: I always play Random Civ. And Spanish i HATE. Second Excuse: I was so stubborn about not getting into his base, that i forget to boom, to build houses (oh man, that was a real bad period :-D), had no proper defense army prepared when it was all too late already. I would also like to respond to your assumptions of me not knowing certain things :-) As i often do, i built the monastery next to the relic to collect it later. Teching into Elite Conquistador not having one of them anymore was a big mistake, though i thought, i would need some powerful and mobile ranged units to deal with the camels better. Obviously, I know how to resign, maybe i was just talking to my girlfriend interrupting me after i sent the "gg wp" ;-) The game is actually quite old, i played it in mid-2020 iirc. All odds aside - i am happy to see the gameplay here and learn about the game of my opponent - what a dude :-D Keep it up, T90!
Darkelf- name checks out. Dark elfs are canonically matriarchal. The higher status women taking the nice jobs next to the safety of the down centre while the men are relegated to the dangerous woodlines and mines, where they're at risk of being raided. Not a kid, a D&D player. With that level of roleplay, maybe not that surprising XD
Like a *darkelf* society ;) - matriarchal (lead by women) For someone so clearly into roleplay, would it be surprising if they were also into D&D? Probably mains a darkelf and this is a continuation of that? Makes sense with the change in imperial, women can do whatever, but they get priority for the safer farming jobs in range of TC, so when one is available they take it.
they aren't kept safe at all. rape was very common back then and women fought in many ancient societies. god the idiocy of nazis and their retarded revisionism......
I love DarkElf so much, he could probably be one of the absolute top players with how much he plays and how good he is at managing everything but he doesn't want to be top. He just wants his beautiful little town with a full civilization of roleplaying in every regard. He legit doesn't care about his rank at all and just wants to make a pleasing town and I love that.
If you think about the attention and the APM it require, DarkElf might have a very different Elo rating than what he's currently at! It's interesting how this game can "create" some kind of OCD, my personnal one was to try to limit the death of my army units by having monk or put them into castle or tower (spoiler: It's not effective let them die)
The only thing that could make his towns more beautiful are a couple of archery ranges on a neutral island. But I guess he's too high elo for doing something like that...
Can we appreciate how amazingly he built his base? to perfectly fit that block of farms? Not too wide, not too long, just perfect enough for the farms.
The answer is actually very simple. There is an open source game called 0 A.D. It was initially meant to be a mod for aoe2 but the developers ultimately ended up making a full fledged game. The point is, witihin 0 A.D males villagers get a 10% boost to resource gathering when they chop wood and mine, while females vils get the same boot while farming. Although, villager production isn't random, infact we have separate buildings for for producing female vills and male ones (which also double has generic infantry!) . My theory is that he is a kid that played way too much of 0 A.D and doesn't realizes that the same logic doesn't translate here. Side note: Do check out 0 A.D, its an awesome game and is completely free to play. Might not be as well balanced as aoe2 but all civs have a unique playstyle going for them.
Just played darkelf, hadn't watched this before but remembered the thumbnail. He made a wonder and had a beautiful castle wall around his main town center.
This is so lovely and fun at the same time. Sometimes I do random 1v1 with AI just to relax a bit and I carefully plan aesthetics and disposition of the buildings and farms, but this is a whole different level lol.
I just discovered your channel after my friend bought me DE. Your commentary is so entertaining and insightful, keep up the great work! Do more of these "where are they now" videos, love it. And maybe interview Dark Elf.
I do the exact same thing with villagers and I've done it since I first started playing as a child. Played from the age of 6 to about 12 always segregating my villagers like this. Now since getting DE 2 years ago I've instinctively started doing it again and I have 600 hours. Also I only play the campaign on normal mode, I just like to relax with a podcast and boom 😅 Ranked games vs real people scare me and at this point I've completed every campaign scenario at least 3 times each. I really take my time with them too, each scenario takes me at least an hour. Often much longer lol I've only recently stopped walling in every area of my base as I play. I've always had an emotional attachment to the units I make and I try to keep as many alive as possible. If just one unit survives a fearsome battle I'll retire them to the back of my base with a little house and a wife villager who can work on a farm next to his mill. Watching these games I know I'll never play multiplayer since I won't have time for my little headcannon story arcs Oh and I never eat my animals, I collect them in a walled pen at the back of my base to keep them safe. I also try to rescue as many as possible from the ai to send back to my enclosure. I feel like if I ever did play multiplayer and stuck to my campaign playstyle T90 would flip shit lol
I love the idea that there's this DarkElf dude who just plays the game, doesn't bother to check what's going on in AoE2 community and one day he'll accidentally find out that he's a legend. :D
He's gotta be the greatest legend ever found. I sincerely hope he never changes and continues having fun by playing the game how he wants to play it. Beautiful stuff!
When I started playing, my only thought was building masses of archers and crossbows, because they can shoot long distances so they're clearly the best thing. Turns out I was just years ahead of the meta.
when i was a kid i didnt even realize that some of the vils were female. i just figured they were all men because "girls don't fight in war". those were my exact words to my cousin when she pointed the female vils out to me. her silence in response to me confirmed my beliefs.
@@gregoriotauro4469 teutons and Vikings were the only Civs I played. Also women dont fight in war so no matter what their voices sounded like they had to be men.
@@havingyarr Man I played AoE 1 and when AoE 2 came out that's one of the first things I noticed and it blew my mind about the games realism. WOOOT MEN AND WOMEN IN THE VIDEO GAME?? So realistic!! I also remember being stunned by the size of buildings and units compared to AoE 1, I remember things being way bigger in AoE 2
It honestly just sounds like this person has some sort of an OCD - strict separation between the vills, ideally built houses, etc. - everything points to that.
It's all about the animations. When I was a kid, I'd never send males to shepherd because the females looked like they were actually preparing meat whereas the males looked like they just enjoyed ripping out intestines. The males had the better farming animation, so they got that. Lumberjacks were about the same, so who cared there
Wow, this brings memories back. However, I used female villagers as gold miners in addition to being farmers while males were lumberjacks, stone miners and builders. That was how my sister played the game and since she taught me AoE2, I followed her decisions without any hesitation. Btw, boars and deers were just decorations ofc. We've never killed them. Good times. I'm a low elo arena 🤡 though, so, I'm not here to judge this fella but rather, appreciate it.
hey just a FYI, the Dark elf in LEL link actually takes us to the 8 DE barracks wall legend - very entertaining, but I don't think it's the video you wanted ^^
What do you guys think about this idea: overall, around 50% on food works rather well if you (and your opponent) don't know what you are doing. That's why it worked for him early on and he just kept on doing it. Also, he keeps on producing (as opposed to his LEL-opponent). Lastly, his strategy prevents overinvesting like suddenly sending all your workers to stone because you need a castle. Constant food production.
Did anyone else notice how is town house walls are perfectly spaced out to allow enough farms from the tc with no gaps between farms and houses? That's why he deleted the house at the beginning; it would have left a gap between the farm and the wall.
Can we have a official tournament where the rules include building a beautiful city. Maybe they get given the plans before the game. They still have to win but if they don’t build the city as per the plans they lose the game instead. Real money, to make people take t serious
I think you could make a mod that would change the work rate for villagers depending on gender so you'd have to do it or else they wouldn't collect any resources.
Is the video seem to "buffer" every time T90 moves his camera? Might be an issue with the recording / settings. It's terrible. EX: 25:53 - Just look at the grass texture popping in!
Lol I played Galactic Battlegrounds first! The air canon was WILD, I would always play the equivalent of black forest and try to cut through trees with it
@@minikawildflower I also played it before AoEII. really wish it was benefiting from the AoEII revival that's going on but it seems like nobody remembers the game at all.
@@levitatingoctahedron922EA has exclusive rights to Star Wars to around 2023 it seems. Making any chance dead in the water for the last while. The good news, is that doesn't seem to be extending, so their is hope now!
Back in the old days of AOE2 there was a very popular rumor that used to say that man villagers were better at mining and chopping, while female were good at food gathering. I believed it for some time.. but it's so tiring consuming that i quit
I also separate the work roles of male and female villagers. Male lumberjacks and miners, female gatherers and farmers. I've lived in West Virginia doing lumber processing and around coal mines, never once have I seen a female on the crew. Let the men do the hard labor and take the risk of raids, let the women hang out near the TC safely tending the cabbages.
"Quality without results is pointless. Results without quality is boring." - Cruyff This Legend has quality AND results! GOAT Btw he only made a compromise regarding the woodcutters. Not a single woman was mining, and not a single man was farming.
I used to do things like that too, but my paranoia with buildings positions was even greater, i would even destroy houses, if the doors and roofs of all buildings we're not aligned.
Dark Elf's playstyle reminds me of the game 0AD. It takes a lot of inspiration from Age 2 (I think it released before Age 2 had it's surge in popularity tho) Woman are berry pickers and farmers, while men can mine and build buildings. And because of that, low level military units can build certain buildings aswell.
In Age of Kings, if a villager was created with a gather point, you could change the gather point to guarantee the same gender would be created next. That is the last time I tried it, I did that as a kid as well.
After 1.5 K hours of DE2 Medieval, I to this day still have the men do mining/lumber work and the ladies agriculture. Realism and immersion is of utmost importance to me when I play.
its a testament to the elo system, you can play the game anyway you like, from viper to te low elo guys with their quirky rules and everything in between, and you will eventually have a nice 50/50 winrate
i love this. This is how I played. I picked units based on how cool they looked. always made sure the marched in formation. Buying all the blacksmith upgrades sounds familiar.
I would love to see t90 play a fan game challenge where he has to make the “harem villagers” work. 1 male villager, the rest have to be female. Delete any males that are born
I used to do that sometimes wayy back, it's demoralizing and hits my apm when the enemy slaughters my female villagers, I let my male villagers sacrifice themselves bravely against cavalry rushes
Ooooh I did a voobly rms with userpatch 1.5 that worked that way. Male villagers had a bonus for collecting wood and stone and Female villagers had a bonus for collecting food and gold (a simple technic to remember: "Woman belong in the kitchen (food) and some are gold diggers (gold)" (pretty sexist, I admit^^ but that's the whole point of the mod^^). In this rms, I added the possibility to chose which gender you want to build at the TC. It made the game really really macro intensive, really hard to manage eco but I loved playing it with friends :)
Thanks T90 for posting this. I really like DarkElf's city. I wanted to watch more replays from him, but I can't find the player anywhere. Did he change his name or something?
I actually always do the same. When the villager is created at the town center you see already if it is a man or a woman so you can put the destination in advance and do not lose any time.
I don’t do it myself but The Female and male villagers made a difference in the original aoe2. I started playing that around 2003-2004 I think when I was a kid. Female villagers were much slower than male villagers in wood chopping and all. Also in fights male villagers won by a minute difference. That time many people used to do this separation if they could, maybe he is an old player and he is used to it now. I haven’t played aoe2 for a while now and not this DE but yeah villager efficiency was a thing earlier. But I think now they removed that in new editions and made them the same but I’m not sure, haven’t tried the mew editions myself.

Lol I played Galactic Battlegrounds first! The air canon was WILD, I would always play the equivalent of black forest and try to cut through trees with it
@@minikawildflower I also played it before AoEII. really wish it was benefiting from the AoEII revival that's going on but it seems like nobody remembers the game at all.
@@levitatingoctahedron922EA has exclusive rights to Star Wars to around 2023 it seems. Making any chance dead in the water for the last while. The good news, is that doesn't seem to be extending, so their is hope now!
@@josephtripp1466 That's not the case anymore. It's pretty much an open license at this point. Ubisoft are making a new Star Wars game.
@@BigDoniel I agree, that's what I was talking about, That in the past it was a none starter, but with an open license its can at least be considered.
This was just beautiful to watch.
Dude, I absolutly enjoy watching your videos. Love your humour!
Back in the old days of AOE2 there was a very popular rumor that used to say that man villagers were better at mining and chopping, while female were good at food gathering. I believed it for some time.. but it's so tiring consuming that i quit
I also separate the work roles of male and female villagers. Male lumberjacks and miners, female gatherers and farmers. I've lived in West Virginia doing lumber processing and around coal mines, never once have I seen a female on the crew. Let the men do the hard labor and take the risk of raids, let the women hang out near the TC safely tending the cabbages.
I am surprised he didn't use stones to make pebbled roads.
"Quality without results is pointless. Results without quality is boring." - Cruyff
This Legend has quality AND results! GOAT
Btw he only made a compromise regarding the woodcutters. Not a single woman was mining, and not a single man was farming.
Absolutely amazing. More of this
I used to do things like that too, but my paranoia with buildings positions was even greater, i would even destroy houses, if the doors and roofs of all buildings we're not aligned.
if someday T90 does a top tier legends list, this guys deserves S tier, together with fatslob and Blue_coffee
He also built his houses exactly 2 farms away from his TC. Only saw the first game, but that looked on purpose as well
Dark Elf's playstyle reminds me of the game 0AD. It takes a lot of inspiration from Age 2 (I think it released before Age 2 had it's surge in popularity tho)
Woman are berry pickers and farmers, while men can mine and build buildings. And because of that, low level military units can build certain buildings aswell.
now the secret tatic for the wonder got revealed: it stops the enemy from building a towncenter
In Age of Kings, if a villager was created with a gather point, you could change the gather point to guarantee the same gender would be created next. That is the last time I tried it, I did that as a kid as well.
You gotta give it to him - that's one pretty looking city!
After 1.5 K hours of DE2 Medieval, I to this day still have the men do mining/lumber work and the ladies agriculture. Realism and immersion is of utmost importance to me when I play.
I just love how excited T90 gets
its a testament to the elo system, you can play the game anyway you like, from viper to te low elo guys with their quirky rules and everything in between, and you will eventually have a nice 50/50 winrate
Update on him :D he still plays and is over 6k games :D Thanks for vid I am loving your style of coments and no-edit long vids
5:25 T90 made AOE2 his personal doll house xD
i love this. This is how I played. I picked units based on how cool they looked. always made sure the marched in formation. Buying all the blacksmith upgrades sounds familiar.
The legend of _Only Farms..._
I about died laughing at that.
Never underestimate an ACTUAL medieval lord
Now this is a true legend. Salutes for DarkElf!
"SUPPLIES!! Guys spam SUPPLIEEEESSSS its funny" lol xD thi sguy kills me.
I would love to see t90 play a fan game challenge where he has to make the “harem villagers” work. 1 male villager, the rest have to be female. Delete any males that are born
The low elo legend videos r so nice to watch because u r a great guy. It excels ur great character.
I used to do that sometimes wayy back, it's demoralizing and hits my apm when the enemy slaughters my female villagers, I let my male villagers sacrifice themselves bravely against cavalry rushes
we should let dark elf know he is our legend
significant improvement in the level of play from the previous year
I have done this before too. It felt more accurate to history to me as a child
Ooooh I did a voobly rms with userpatch 1.5 that worked that way.
Male villagers had a bonus for collecting wood and stone and Female villagers had a bonus for collecting food and gold (a simple technic to remember: "Woman belong in the kitchen (food) and some are gold diggers (gold)" (pretty sexist, I admit^^ but that's the whole point of the mod^^).
In this rms, I added the possibility to chose which gender you want to build at the TC.
It made the game really really macro intensive, really hard to manage eco but I loved playing it with friends :)
I played Dark Elf today. I only remembered this video afterwards.
Thanks T90 for posting this. I really like DarkElf's city. I wanted to watch more replays from him, but I can't find the player anywhere. Did he change his name or something?
Lol when he was raiding blue “men on farms?? Back at our base we’d have you on wood!” 🤣🤣
I actually always do the same. When the villager is created at the town center you see already if it is a man or a woman so you can put the destination in advance and do not lose any time.
that confession was great, can relate!
Viper vs darkelf - darkelf style lmao. Could become a series. Where players are forced to play like this and fight at a proper time. Lmao
LOL the whole gifted subs backfiring was great!
The OnlyFarms joke killed me xD
I don’t do it myself but The Female and male villagers made a difference in the original aoe2. I started playing that around 2003-2004 I think when I was a kid. Female villagers were much slower than male villagers in wood chopping and all. Also in fights male villagers won by a minute difference. That time many people used to do this separation if they could, maybe he is an old player and he is used to it now. I haven’t played aoe2 for a while now and not this DE but yeah villager efficiency was a thing earlier. But I think now they removed that in new editions and made them the same but I’m not sure, haven’t tried the mew editions myself.
1200 ranked 1v1 games! I want to be DarkElf damn it. He has more fun with this game than I do.
When I was a kid and got the game I used to play like this guy xD
Good old memories
He has come so far and learnt so much! Amazing improvement resilience!
He's just here to have fun. But why not just pæay coop or singleplayer? 😂
40:12 "Red was trying to hold his female villagers down by putting them on Onlyfarms"
The role-play plot intensifies
@ 1:51 "... the way that gives him the most enjoyment ..." Precisely, Mr T90 !!!! 👍😃
At the end of the day, isn't that why we play ANYTHING? For FUN !
Imagine if they gave a slight 1% advantage for doing this.
If it’s the eco balance strategy, this guy’s mind is going to be blown when he finally notices the vil count per resource in the UI.
