"Issue with archers is that they struggle to overcome enemy units pierce armor"
Armenian Composite Bowmen: 'Am a joke to you?'
I thought so too... until I found out the elite upgrade does _not_ give you extra attack.
if Armenians are on a team where a ally gets archer damage, then they really Could become frightful
Sadly their elite upgrade is very bad for 10x mod
Yes
Because Archers generally don't hold up well to zooming Cav/Infantry/Siege or to the Infinite Instant Free Castles
@@baldawen it's not that bad when you see units with 30+ armor. 10 attack ignoring armor is better than 30 attack reduced by armor
Once again, I'm here to petition for a video of some gameplay of this mod involving SOTL. I think it would be amazing to see some AOEII gameplay again on here and this mod makes it extra fun and exciting with all the possible combinations!
The rush combos are by far the best since it does not matter how strong the enemy units get in imp when they die in dark age.
Except the combo that hits imperial age in 30 seconds
@@FFKonoko That is exactly what I mean as rush lol
Tower stacking: Koreans for +20 range and free upgrades, Britons for +20 attack, Georgians for pass through damage then Icans for free towers + vil HP!
Georgians' UT also gives them another +2 attacks 😋
How about Japanese/Yasama for 20 extra arrows?
+ Japanese for extra arrows!
Usually Castles outpace Towers both by build time and raw stats
and they build unique units
and they build Trebs (that become insane with Warwolf and Timurid Warfare)
and they upgrade unique units...
Sicilians/Spanish + Incas/Franks = Infinite Instant Free Castles which wipe the floor with anything that can't destroy them fast enough
Castle stacking and even TC stacking are still more powerful than this.
I barely play aoe anymore but your showcase of this mod got me to play it and get the mod! It was very fun
There should be a mod where all campaign dialog is redone in sotl's soothing voice. Either fully voiced or 11labs.
Saw the title and thought it was a t90 video, still wasn't disappointed these 2 would make an awesome collab vid.
8:00
Then the Winged Hussar arrived. Coming down the mountain side.
I don't know if it's the best strategy, but the meme potential of "Then the Winged Hussars Arrived" makes it the best IMHO.
I'm so happy you're promoting this modpack. I've been a fan of it for years.
The town center team gets even dumber if you manage to get 2 sicilians using full random, had that one game, you didnt even have to get a villager to the tc, it just built instantly wherever you clicked it on the map. it just spawned out of nowhere.
Another fun combination is spanish, incas and burgundians, the flemish revolution hits different on that one.
Do the flemish militia retain their supremacy?
@@bigdiccmarty9335 Yup!
I havent booted this game up in ages... 2 ages in fact. Its time now.
That's some Hollywood level units, especially trebuchets.
I love the idea of a civ combo that creates free units so fast that it blockades the opposing team and forces them to resign if only because they can't reach the other side of the map.
The best civ combos in this mode are not usually a combo where everyone can make the power unit. I’ve found that having one civ with an insane unit to go for is better than any basic unit buff combo.
For instance, Persians with a Gurjara teammate (mounted units deal more bonus damage) means their war elephants nearly 1 shot buildings. Add in franks and you now have nearly unlimited hp. Or Bulgarians to attack extremely fast.
Man do I love the scene at the end, just the entire screen filled with arrows 😂
I'm so happy to see the 10x mod get this kind of notice! Your videos have helped me be aware of so many tiny bonuses to account for each time I go through a new update
Also, Camel supremacy is the best: Cumans / Hindustani / Gurjaras / Saracens
I guess its worse then having free units, but I liked the combo of old Paper Money + Spanish extra gold + Aztec extra gold from relics + Scaracens for a negative market penalty so you get more resources out of the market then you put in. It would be extremely micro-heavy, but you just might have enough resources to buy out the other team.
Stoked for this video. Thanks for sharing!
Nice. 40 seconds and already 3 bot comments...
Dead internet
im also a bot
@@sportsfreak33393how long until bots are commenting “dead internet” to camouflage themselves?
I have a strange feeling I cannot shake, that everyone who responded to this comment until this point, was a bot.
@@IndependentObserverbeep, boop
I suggest you look into the gunpowder combo, mainly Janissaries, but also for other unique units like Conqs and wagons they get incredible range, dmg, hp, attack, movement and creation speed.
-Turks Gunpowder unit creation speed and hp, also free chemistry
-Spanish Attack speed and fast castle builds
-Bohemians Movement speed, chemistry in castle age
-Berbers Creation speed for castles
Also for water maps, fast shooting Cannon galleys, with long range, fast attack and speed
You're missing the aspect of cost, though. A lot of these other combos include free units. Creation speed is irrelevant, if your economy can't possibly keep up.
@@bladactania italians in the mix then :)
I want to play a 10x mod of Age of Mythology now.
Set 10x free barracks units, picking up Anubis’ Anubites with a 40 range jump - I’d totally dig that.
6:50 what about armenians? Composite Bowman ignore armor
6:55 Yes, I want that 11 Thank you for the video!
Imagine if the devs caved in and gave Monks 2 different "stances" for more ease of use for beginners. One that auto-heals friendly units in range like they already do, and a new one to auto-converts enemy units in range. Not only would that make the base game frustrating to play, but it would break Monk teams in this mod completely to the point of making it unplayable. 11
The last one reminded me of "Our arrows will cover the sun", kind of thing
Finally found a use for the Saracen team bonus!
Some other fun combos:
Gurjaras/Portuguese/Persians/X - the Portuguese wood from foragers + Gurjara bushes means you send all your vils on the starting bushes and have an amazing economy. This + garrison your sheep lets you send early vils to gold and stone, and with the Persian faster TCs you can have a 10 minute Imp with free Savars due to Gurjaras UT + Portuguese gold cost removal. The civ can be something that buffs Savars (Franks, for example, which also synergizes with the forage, and buff HP and creation speed, or Romans, to turbocharge your economy even further).
A fun variation on the infantry combo is Goths/Bohemians/Armenians/Lithuanians. You open with a Barracks + House + Mule Cart, and you can spam spears in dark age, who have 250% bonus damage and +10 bonus damage against buildings in Feudal. With your starting Lithuanian food you can send all your villagers to wood for houses, do a 6-7 vil Feudal, and now you have super fast free pikemen doing +35 damage against buildings. You don't have to worry about TC fire since you can easily hit and run with their speed to work around their slower attack speed. Armenian vision on the spears also allows you to find enemies quickly.
The Italians/Khmer/Malay/X combo also does well with Bengalis as the fourth rather than Cumans, you trade some speed for getting 60 vils who can gather wood fast enough to compete with the Cuman free stables, since you also have enough wood for houses AND enough villagers to build stables faster. Huns also work since they have increased stable production speed and don't need houses. The Bengalis also ignore bonus damage on their eles, which prevent the above combo from rushing spearmen in DA, possibly the only thing that could otherwise resist the battle elephant rush.
A small edit is that Spearmen have bonus dmg vs buildings so they can do damage already in Dark Age. Shutting down enemy ecos by the 5 minute mark.
My infantry choice would be Sicilians (negates bonus damage, +1000 stone, farms have a LOT of food and +500% building speed on fortifications), Japanese (infantry attacks 330% faster starting from Feudal, great fishing ships if there is any pool), Slavs (splash damage in Imperial, great farmers) and Celts (Usain Bolt infantry, great lumberjacks) or Malians (free wood for building, infantry +10 pierce armor per age starting from Feudal, double gold income from mining).
Edit: if you play with Chronicles civs too, you can switch Sicilians with Spartans (Polemarchs available, double food income, +500% creation time for skirmishers, pikes and villagers; and negate all bonus damage infantry could receive or receive a great amount of gold per minute per castle standing).
It might be harder to pin down, but lots of bonuses and techs apply to unique units. Given the massive strength of unique units upgrades in this mod, it seems like there could be some synergies where everyone on the team makes unique units. Incas for free castles and (fabric shields?) come to mind. Berber camel archers and faster working castles could be good. Sicilians for faster building castles and double upgrading seargants. Maybe huns for, presumably, free stable tarkans made three times as fast. I'm sure there are ones I'm not thinking of.
Man, never played 10x mod, you made me very interested hahaha
If you are in Amazon Tunnel, Hindustani + Magyars alone is already plenty scary due to the ability of the free scouts to kill buildings in feudal. Add Cumans for speed, and Gurjaras both for a faster feudal and extra bonus dmg and it's usually over in feudal unless you have an impressive indeed combo to fight it.
That scorps looks like shooting missiles than giant arrow now 😂
Awesome content. Here are three more combinations:
Towers: Koreans (range), Japanese, Georgians, Britons (attack), Chinese (HP), Incas (no stone), Spanish (faster build speed and stronger vills)
--> I'd go with Koreans, Georgians, Incas and Spanish or Britons
Villagers (aka most annoying for everyone): Spanish (attack, armor, hp), Berbers (speed), Poles (healing), Incas (more armor), Sicilians (can build castles in your base within a second)
--> I'd go with Spanish, Berbers and Poles
BBC: Bohemians (Houfnice + speed), Turks (range), Ethiopians (more blast damage), Spanish (attack speed), Celts (HP, attack speed and creation time), Italians or Slavs (costs), Mongols (speed)
--> I'd go with Bohemians, Turks and Celts, plus rather Spanish or Slavs/Italians than Ethiopians. Note that they become very difficult to handle due to friendly fire (we don't need more blast damage, but we want more...) and are already speedy.
Yet another video could be made on the forest nothing version, where 8 players are allied until all unique techs are researched, at which point it becomes a free-for-all (but everyone still retains all bonuses). The massive difference here is that you want combinations that buff/support your unique units more than anything else in the game.
One nasty combo I managed to fine with this mod is how camels tend to receive far more substantial civ bonuses compared to other units. case and point, Gurjaras, scarcens, Berbers and Hindustanis too basically give everyone massive hp, melee armor and fast self-healing imperial camel units that's also absolutely destroy enemy cavalry and budlings with their massive attack bonus while also shredding everything else with rapid fire attacks from a unit that only cost gold.
Another big combo that likes to play with are bohemians, Spanish, Burgundians and again Hindustanis but you can also replace them with Turks. In essence you have access to the deadliest gunpowder imaginable with rapid fire, high damage and mobility hand cannons that easily available in castle age thanks to the bohemian bonus. The choice between Turks and Hindustan's is mostly about preface at that point, do you want high health hand cannoneers that are back by long range bombards or do your hand cannons be the siege themselves with long range themselves plus high armor that most attack bounce off them.
I would love to see a showmatch or something where civ bonuses are just shared and not 10x. Keeping the good balance of aoe2 but adding more team combo
Another fun combo is Turks + Byz, you get long range bombard towers with large splash damage. With Byz hp bonus they are already strong and you could add Chinese for even more HP. Though I'd prefer Inca + Spanish to have fast built almost free bombard towers cos gold is gathered really fast and if it does run out, you can just build an easy trade thanks to Spanish team bonus.
Change Spanish for Portuguese, and BBT will be entierly free. As well as Catas.
I was expecting Armenian Composite Bowmen as the choice archer unit, since they just ignore armor altogether. They also fire in a straight line, which at long ranges is kinda preferable.
Broken gunpowder and naval civs would be great
What about Sicilians on the archer team for their composite bowman melting everything with pierce armor?
That civ is called Armenians. The Elite upgrade doesn't give +1 pierce attack, so they would lose the potential +10, making them worse off against non high pierce armor units. And then, the opportunity cost of not having another +10 from Vikings.
that's armenians but yes
Villager rush is most insane thing ever. Was in 4v4 and we couldnt do anything even with our team having Catas. They had Inca, Bengalis, Spanish and Berber... You cant win vs this combo when Spanish hits unique tech.
Monks auto-convert once they get attacked, so if you can actually get them to survive for a little, they might not need that micro.
Bengalis for +30/+30 armor
Aztecs for +50 HP per tech
Portuguese to make them free
Spanish for conversion speed
This kind of hinges on how Spanish Inquisition scales to 10x, exactly.
Of course, the main issue now is the rest time after a conversion and the slow movement speed as well as entirely reactive (or micro intense) play.
I don't think this is actually viable, but it could be damn annoying to play against.
I forgot to comment on the last video. Playing against the AI, I like to use a tower strat, Koreans extra range, Japanese extra arrows, celts extra firing speed and then you can pick Britons for extra damage. Machine gun towers that obliterate everything coming at them.
Spirit of the Law - Here some Great Combos
Comment section - Here some completely Broken Combos that will make the enemy team uninstall the game and cry on the corner of the room....
I lost my shit at the onager going warp 5
Everybody sleeping on the georgian malian lith tcs. Shooting +30 range, 80 arrows that have plus 20 damage. Each volley doing 30x80(2400) damage at 40ish range.
Italians for the infantry to supplement the huskarls vs gun powder
x10 Bonus civ is nightmare for me
I don't remember the four civilizations, but my brother and I once made 10000 hp battle elephants
armenians + aztec + bengalis + lithuanians = warrior priest for entire team with high hp, high attack, high armor, and trains super fast. can swap lithuanians with any other monk civ or infantry civ. for example, byzans for super fast healingor burmese for free techs and extra more attack. or even saracens for passive area of effect healing
Skirmisher combo Vietnamese for imperial skirmisher and HP ,Aztec for attack and range ,Mayan for double projectile, Inca for free cost with minimal range and attack, Lithuanians for piece armor and Dravidian for fire faster
Dravidians with Swotz Steel researched is op in any combo.
Awesome mod
Not entirely sure about it, but Armenian's Unique Units should be better than vikings don't you think ? Since they ignored armor
It always bothered me, that die onager move forward when they fire. Due to inertia, shouldn't they retreat a little, and when the arm hits the cross beam, move a bit forward again?
Does Torsion engines work on flaming camels?
Replace castles with Donjons, and you get something close to unbeatable. Not sure if unbeatable exists, because I can imagine a full Huscarl or Tarkan combo might be able to deal with those.
37 range Hand Cannons that can be created near instantly are insanely strong, though they dont have truly insane attack in 10x. Fast elephants and siege combined is probably the optimal; Ethiopian, Mongol, and then your choice of two more upgrades.
Top 10 worst barracks please?
i think the infantry one had a miss, romans +60/+80 armor + econ bonuses + legionaries maybe is amazing as a 4th civ
So many times forgotten the ...dravidian? Gurjarat? Wootz steel providing infantry and cavalry dmg going through armor
Take Byzantines instead of Persians? Boost HP. And military can take out rams in meanwhile
No bombard canon bonus? :(
would Armenians unique unit solve the archers issue?
armenians should be pretty strong on the archer build but they don't really help their team mates much. but their UU would be insane with some archer boni, festroying high piercing armour enemies
How works the double armor bonus of the Romans with this mod?
Iirc everyone gets 10 times the benefit from researching infantry armour at the blacksmith, independently. So one player on the team can have no techs researched in imp and no benefit but another, non-Romans, all three and +30/40.
Scorpions fire like helepolis from aoe1
I missed a skirm combo :/
WAIT, WHAT ABOUT GUNPOWDER?!?!
You forgot the most important aspect of the first comp: Celts make the Incas' llama impossible to steal.
Hmmm... I wonder a few options with Japanese would make a great water civ.
Viking + Japanese + Portugese should be insane but i dont know if the economy bonuses translate well vs just having free everything
I would love to see super bombard cannon civ ... Bohemians, Turks, Portugueese and Spanish
Finally AOE2 DE Will Make An Update Again, But This Time Again, It Will Divide The Chinese Civilization, I Hope Age Of Empires Doesn't Remove The Chinese, Besides That It Was Supposed To Have The Nest Of Bees In The Original Game As The 2nd Unique Unit, But It Didn't Happen
invite me to play whoever is playing this mod!!
For infantry i prefer Goth+Roman+Armenian+Bulgarians free champs in dark age and +20 LOS
Or Tatar+mongol+etiopian+slavs flaming camel was nerfed before bc was too op, but i dont know yet etiopian and mongols work on them or not
won't armenians be good in the archer combo with armor ignoring archer UU?
Nice. 1 hour and already 3 bot comments...
why you dont talk about bombard cannon??? you pick turks and ally celts, spanish, mongol. it's better than treb + onager combo
for archer, just pick chinese. the chu ku no fires 22 arrows. i dont care how many pierce armor you have, you are taking tons of damage.
SOTL will upload anything but the teutons overview
What mods are these? Do you have a mods playlist?
The Most OP Team Combos in "10x Shared Civ Bonus" Mod
can you read the title?
@@piccolo917 you got the mod name right there
Litterally, there is "10x Shared Civ Bonus" you should have understood that

@ My bad, for wording it like i directed toward you while i wanted on op x)
Happy Super Bowl Law! Who you got?
I'm pretty sure georgian crash the game, at least it used to, not long ago. Just if anyone decides to try the broken hussars.
It can, but generally it's only if you spin up too many at the same gather point. I was in a 3v3 and each player on my team had more than 1000 hussars on the field. The game starts too lag when you get close, so just move that gather point so they don't clump. If you're playing against AI, the AI won't move thew gather point so you are in a race against time where you have to start the fight before they crash the game, but be able to take on the 600+ cav they're throwing at you.
