I love that Hera hard read that Atrioc would try to brag in chat that he had a faster feudal but also hard read that he didn't know how to talk in all chat. truly better player activities
It really seems like they let him win on the first run. They attacked his castle with villagers? Just seemed like a complete throw of a game. They all 100% didn't even try. They only made like 10 military units collectively. Nobody plays like that. Fake
@FreeOfTheLoop they didn't know how to play... yes they clipfarmed a little but hera has done 1v4s vs people who actually know how to play and can win them
Hera is good at explaining the game simply while he's playing, he coaches players and he has a series of videos for helping players of different levels. This is all while he's rank 1 at the game. 🐐 fr
@usedTNT Atrioc exaggerates the degree to which Hera dominates AoE's comp scene He's unquestionably the best as it currently stands, but there are plenty of other incredibly skilled players I won't make an argument against the game being"tedious" as I feel like that's an entirely personal opinion and I have a feeling you'd probably feel the same about the majority of RTS games
@someguy7643 yep, also made the comment while in an extraordinarily negative mood. i was a bit harsh and yeah sure my soul is corrupt, but you're certainly right about RTS games being uninteresting to me... nowadays i find it difficult to be entertained
It wasn't a compliment, the opposite lol. "That is disgusting" he says, because auto scouting on game start is bad because you need to scout your base resources first.
That was so much fun, props to you Atrioc! AoE2 is a timeless classic, it's never too late for new folks to join in. Thank you for featuring this gem of a game. Here’s hoping to see more. 😄🥳
Same here! Props to big A and his team for making the game so much easier for non-players to understand; seems like a lot of people are saying the explainers made this a very entertaining vid. Would love to see more!
Please tell Ludwig there is a player called dark elf who DOES only allow female vills to do some jobs and male villagers to do the others. It is unorthodox but he is a legend in the community for committing to the bit
the problem with playing against professionals, is that they can see something and immediately know whats about to happen. he saw 3 spanish and already knew conqs were coming
I LOVE the breakdown of the HUD at 4:00 to help educate anyone who hasn't played before and is tuning in for a first-time watch. Super viewer friendly!
How is Lud only 4 years younger than me but never played AoE? Was such a staple game when I was a kid and I didn't even own it till late middle school.
My middle school history teacher did this. He had us play Age of Empires in the computer lab as a part of our curriculum, and took the 3 most proficient kids aside one free period and had us all team up together to try and beat him. Of course he destroyed us lol
That's wild that you needed to explain what age of empires is at the start of the video. That's like having to explain how Super Mario Bros works. I must be getting old.
I used to be really into aoe2 when the viper was dominant and was winning every tournament, and saw hera grow in power and eventually overtake the viper, it was such a hype tournament.
I love that Hera hard read that Atrioc would try to brag in chat that he had a faster feudal but also hard read that he didn't know how to talk in all chat. truly better player activities
that was so funny, read him so hard couldnt believe it
Shit was funny af
hera is the tiger woods of age 2.
It really seems like they let him win on the first run. They attacked his castle with villagers? Just seemed like a complete throw of a game. They all 100% didn't even try. They only made like 10 military units collectively. Nobody plays like that. Fake
@FreeOfTheLoop they didn't know how to play... yes they clipfarmed a little but hera has done 1v4s vs people who actually know how to play and can win them
amazing 3v1 with lud as a neutral spectator
He kinda locked in on the 2nd round
he was borderline useful on the second game
@pbble9742 what an insane compliment 😭
He might have given her more conqs than he kept to himself
LETS UP THOSE NUMBERS!!!
incredible work from the editors with all the info, i actually understood what was going on this time
Please excuse that last guy, hello librarian!
agreed
I usually don't understand it either, this is crazy
Hi Librarian
My thoughts exactly
atrioc’s notes to his editors:
“make sure to include every time he calls me impressive”
Bros vs. Pros returning has gotta be a recession indicator
more like a nihilism indicator
bring back "Ludwig & Atrioc give advice" videos
Without Ludwig though, please.
@SirQuantization yeah, replace him with Aimen and DouglasDouglas
I love how we interjected Hera's analysis here. I feel like this is the first time I understood a game of AoE properly
Congratulations, a bot stole your comment.
wowwww
Hera is good at explaining the game simply while he's playing, he coaches players and he has a series of videos for helping players of different levels. This is all while he's rank 1 at the game. 🐐 fr
@nathangamble125wait, who made the original comment?? That was a bot? Why are we responding to bots, how do we know the difference? Dammit
@Aflay1 One has a lewd profile and the comment is later
Ludwig's mental energy for this collab: 15% learning the game, 85% quips.
Probably alt tabbed bullying someone over discord
a 3 yr old, 8 yr old, 9 yr old and a 15 yr old vs their 35 yr old proffessional athlete dad
Yeh basically. This isn't "average player vs pro" this is "total noobs vs a pro"
@ivan-to2zytotal boobs vs the best player in the world by far lmao
I did it vs my first time playing classes mates like 1v6
Having the perspective of Hera really makes this worth watching even for live viewers and even vod frogs
nah, this game is tedious and having one person dominate the competitive scene is boring
civilization tycoon ahh
@usedTNT your soul is corrupt
@usedTNT Atrioc exaggerates the degree to which Hera dominates AoE's comp scene
He's unquestionably the best as it currently stands, but there are plenty of other incredibly skilled players
I won't make an argument against the game being"tedious" as I feel like that's an entirely personal opinion and I have a feeling you'd probably feel the same about the majority of RTS games
@someguy7643 yep, also made the comment while in an extraordinarily negative mood. i was a bit harsh and yeah sure my soul is corrupt, but you're certainly right about RTS games being uninteresting to me... nowadays i find it difficult to be entertained
Ludwig's improvement from Game 1 -> Game 2 is one for the history books! GGWP BROS
🐐
U every played age of mythology? Idk why but I just bought it
@ronaqsahni5343 goated game
@ronaqsahni5343it's peak as well
how did he go from holding all his villagers to hey yeah I have 30 conqs on the way
The first 40 minutes of comments are indistinguishable from bots. This is a comment economy recession indicator
johnappleseed6210Just like any good recession you gotta let it build up a bit
That's not that true
Ngl, having hera's pov and having atrioc teach the others how to play actually let me understand the game
Irl Reliable Narrator, it was legitimately so well done
Hera complimenting Ludwig’s auto-exploring scout got me good
It wasn't a compliment, the opposite lol. "That is disgusting" he says, because auto scouting on game start is bad because you need to scout your base resources first.
@najustpassingthat's the joke homie
Yup just made it boring
It’s crazy how cracked stanz is no matter what game he plays he’s always exactly in the middle and that’s so useful
As someone who sucks at every game they play; that really is such an amazing trait
Ludwig sending his villagers on a death march to fight Hera’s unit killed me 🤣
to fight hera's castle* the strongest building in the game
I thought this video was going to be far more boring but the edits really helped out in the context of all the words and flashing buttons on screen.
Shoutouts to the editor that little hud breakdown at the beginning of the match was CRISPY
That was so much fun, props to you Atrioc! AoE2 is a timeless classic, it's never too late for new folks to join in. Thank you for featuring this gem of a game. Here’s hoping to see more. 😄🥳
Same here! Props to big A and his team for making the game so much easier for non-players to understand; seems like a lot of people are saying the explainers made this a very entertaining vid.
Would love to see more!
The lord of the rings battle for Middle earth is the best game in this genre imo
ludwig is such a farmer, dude makes a joke then IMMEDIATELY turns to chat to see if it landed
pretty sure ludwig wasn't streaming this. so there is no chat. or its a force of habit lmao
lud defending hasan should be a red flag to everyone about his true personality....
@thaariqbinaziz2821 Green* flag
@thaariqbinaziz2821destiny stan?
@thaariqbinaziz2821 rent free
Please tell Ludwig there is a player called dark elf who DOES only allow female vills to do some jobs and male villagers to do the others. It is unorthodox but he is a legend in the community for committing to the bit
Here from T90 to say the same 😂
I think I saw him the other day lol
Don’t talk to Ludwig
Hera and 3 bros vs atrioc
2:42 i flinched
6,7
26:06
I appreciate your sincere efforts to make Age of Empires understandable for people outside the loop
I feel like it's 1999 again and it's glorious.
It's cool seeing aoe becoming more popular.
The VOD had so much not included in here, definitely worth the watch. Loved the exposed DMs between Ludwig and Hera
What do the DMs say?
@sea-throne9235hera infinite glaze and trying to get him to play aoe2
@sea-throne9235it's oiled up pix
@sea-throne9235keep yourself safe
The pregame banter was some of the funniest shit I've heard in a really long time.
The amount of editing here is absolutely astonoshing, but it really REALLY increases the value of the vod/stream. Thank you for this. Instant sub
nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition 25:19
the problem with playing against professionals, is that they can see something and immediately know whats about to happen. he saw 3 spanish and already knew conqs were coming
Yea but also the problem with facing 3 semi coordinated forces is that they can hit you with overwhelming force that a singular force can’t handle
great edit with all the little explainers and multiple POVs.
To quote Tyler1: "Ludwig is an absolute liability"
"Put your king in the castle" *Puts the king in the TC 😂
Whoever is the editor needs a raise. This is some crazy smooth and stimulating visuals.
4 Scouts should have immediately rushed the king
"ludwig get out of feudal age" is one of the hardest lines in this entire video.
We are so back
Really well made video, congratulations editors, you should be proud
I'm telling my kids this is the Avengers
i would watch 100 of these matches
Do the conq strat again except this time without both his hands tied behind his back
This was so entertaining please keep this series going
I hope it becomes a series, lud atrioc and stanz have such good chemistry. It would be so cool if they tried to beat more pros at their games 🤞
@Aatraeus Squeex as well as a great addition for this episode; definitely wouldn’t mind if he stuck around
Bro called them npc's
The stronghold music goes so hard
The music used at 22:00 made this so much funnier lol
We need a sequel where its atrioc vs lud stanz & squeex who are being coached by Hera
I've been a fan of the game for 10 years. I think this is the best editing I've seen on an AoE2 video.
41:40 could've used the Heresy research from the monastary, its 1k gold and your units die if they're converted
Yes, or at least the first research which makes them harder to convert, would have helped a lot.
Bruh, the Stronghold OST is GOATED
Ludwig is the friend in the group assignment who's just there for moral support.
I appreciate how the editor put their name at the end of the video. Eriksenchee did a great job with this one!
2 months without a Marketing Monday is a recession indicator
Rematch. This was great. More please.
You got make another one asap, I'm loving this already!
medieval total war music slapping
you know someone’s good at the game when their chat overlay is incorporated into the HUD
ludwig the guy you give a pity invite to and he shows up
crazy to use stronghold crusader music in an AoE video... i wish my game wasnt dead 😢
Ludwig said I just spawned the berries I am dead 😂😂😂😂
this game looks super fun ill most def try it out
You should, the single player historical campaigns are also awesome. Just a classic game
Lol hera playing the UNO Reverse on the Spanish Inquisition.
this video gives me insight on why tyler crashed out so hard when he played with ludwig
first game: can't spell slaughter without laughter
second game: teamwork makes the dream work
What an awesome notification to see. The first video of this was genuinely so funny and now theres another to watch!
damn nice this vid popped of the stream was hilarious
"This is an Atrioc strat if I ever saw one"
Never in history has a truer statement been spoken.
I love how he has music from Stronghold playing
Ludwig's Roanoke gambit had me in stitches
I was not ready for this cross over
the editing was really good
Beautiful usage of stronghold music
34:22 -
My Ancestors in India every few centuries
That’s more like a 1.5 vs 3 with the way Lud is playing
I LOVE the breakdown of the HUD at 4:00 to help educate anyone who hasn't played before and is tuning in for a first-time watch. Super viewer friendly!
AoE with Stronghold music... Now i want the same video but about stronghold
I've followed Hera and Big A for so long, it's so cool seeing them collab together
We making it out of the longhall with this one
How is Lud only 4 years younger than me but never played AoE? Was such a staple game when I was a kid and I didn't even own it till late middle school.
The good ol gauss harthog strat
ok im new here, and this is straight up so funny, great content.
I've been waiting for that VOD to be made into a video.
1:03 moist has left the chat
That was so fun to watch and exciting on top of that. Thank you!
Such a good video, getting so much nostalgia from it
That was epic
The editing in this video was so smooth, super helpful and enjoyable to watch.
stronghold music is *chefs kiss*
I feel like "regular gamers" is a bit of an overstatement
ay you gotta be nice every once in a while
Can we please have a part 2. That was way too entertaining!
4:54 forbidden shadow at the top
almost like a bullet hole but creepier
how did you even see this? bro has cockvision
@FylMariteit’s a superpower I obtained through extensive gooning and such
This is awesome to see! I'd love to see smth similar in bar(beyond all reason) another great rts
Great vid, the extreme handicap makes you root for the pro, which is really fun to watch as the gang tries to overwhelm.
I could easily watch a series of this every weekend
My middle school history teacher did this. He had us play Age of Empires in the computer lab as a part of our curriculum, and took the 3 most proficient kids aside one free period and had us all team up together to try and beat him. Of course he destroyed us lol
This reminds me of playing rts with my boys...
That's wild that you needed to explain what age of empires is at the start of the video. That's like having to explain how Super Mario Bros works. I must be getting old.
We need more of these videos
22:29 showing hera's insane infiltration strat and then cutting to while lud is unga-bungaing his villagers into the castle is ABSURDLY funny!
I was so excited and then I saw LETS UP THOSE NUMBERS in the lobby
I used to be really into aoe2 when the viper was dominant and was winning every tournament, and saw hera grow in power and eventually overtake the viper, it was such a hype tournament.
This was highly entertaining. Great job by the editors in weaving it all together.
5:38 Lud with the Dark Elf strats I see
