This is how my walling strategy started. I figured if I wall just out of sight of the enemy walls I can stop them being annoying. Then I released I can actually put my walls up against theirs , it takes less stone and is more disorientating then the strategy evolved into what it is today
I like how iSit actually played this map as a real siege. Building isolated wall segments, sitting patiently, luring enemy into choke points, showering the attackers with stones, waiting for a clear spot to appear to contrattack with cavalry, retreating to an advantegeous position to come back later. It looks a bit more like a medieval warfare in close quarters. Sometimes I miss this in Age of Empires. :)
to be fair, provided you play in line with unit counter mechanics, many historical siege and fighting strategies used in history work effectively in age.
That pinch won him the game, blue got actually mentally boomed after losing that fight to an enemy he thought done. Bro had 25k food and close to 20k wood, he had a big army destroyed the main base and was just clearing up, at that point it was all at isit favor. Also that turned me on the flankerino
@@AJKecsk That's if you stop at a single one. Basically, multiply that by how many halberdiers there are, and make sure to have enough walls for them to destroy for 10 minutes, then put that on a loop with a few seconds of overlap, then profit.
its a basic maneuver actually... done similar things myself, even plugged a hole in a wall with a ram, while archers and a siege onagar picked off the enemy that were on a move command to go through. It's not genius at all... it's common sense to anyone that plays strategy games. the guys only an average player.

I just played this guy today - took over 3 hours to eventually defeat him. Hadn’t heard of him before today and wish I’d known his strat to begin with!
I used to play AoEII with friends on LAN parties. We played post-imperial with high death match resources and 30 minutes of build up truce. I think all of the games we played could easily qualify for low-ELO legends tbh. Most matches ran for 3-5 hours. Boy, did we have loads of fun.
@@shotmeonsightplease How can you run Aoe2 with so much pop? Would like to play high pop games with more friends, but at some it just is a constant freeze
I honestly think that's why there were a couple of big time gaps from blue, like he expected iSit to ponder his defeat and concede. But then again, being unable to see chat, perhaps there was some serious trash talking going on 😅
What a great game. I wish I could play as well as Isit. He takes his strategy to perfection. And playing defensive is ALSO playing the game T90. I would love to see a game with Fatslob vs Isit :D
This is totally the Floyde Mayweather strat. Super high defense and just let the opponent get so gassed and tilted they make mistakes and you can capitalize on them. He has every tool he needs. You can't make a sneak attack because he has vision everywhere and the attack will never be a quick one. Micro inside his base is a living nightmare, and you have no idea what corner his units are hiding behind until its too late.
Only if the enemy is stupid and makes simple mistakes themselves. The game should have been over when he first stormed his base, as he just needed to rush and kill the onagers while maintaining the pressure. He didn't do this, retreating from the onagers and giving him time to boom and use his banked gold. He basically ensured his own defeat.
@@Inquisitor_Vex ELO is named after its creator Arpad Elo. It's a system for measuring the skill of players in zero sum games. As an aside a zero sum game are games where the winner can only win when they cause the enemy to lose.
I discovered this recently. Has iSit discovered towers yet? He seems like a player with potential. Certain things are very precisely figured out, and it helps that he's so patient, so for me it would be fun to see him get better at one thing at a time. I would love to see this guy gradually become a more complete player.
I love this. When I was a kid my favorite game was to put on the hardest AI, do exactly this, and see how long I could live. Maybe I should start trying it with humans. Attacking is scary.
As a player who also finds attacking "scary" (to use iSit's original term), I can completely relate to this style of play.... 😉 Thanks for sharing with us, T90 !!! 👍😃
Maybe it’s the accessibility of guides on RUclips that raised the bar especially for the lower ELOs. I‘m still at around 1k and while the multitasking/execution are lacking for most (very much for me) everyone I‘ve played against so far had a solid Dark Age start leading into some rush or FC. Everything that happens after that is of course very messy but the baseline is there more than it maybe used to be. That‘s also why the most magical games are in the very low ELOs where people either don‘t know or don‘t care about the META.
as a wall lover, i cannot believe how this turned out. i would be proud of iSit if he tried to attack with his army sitting there but it all worked out for the best...dudes a legend
Hey @t90Official I think the guy you are talking about at the start of this game was me (3:40 ish), I had only played a handful of games at this point and figured this guy was new as well, I'm pretty sure this was going to be one of my first wins and then disconected.
Just watched it on one of your twitch streams, it was me (chubby9191) 😂11. Saw a T90 vid on youtube for aoe2 Haven't played for 20 odd years I played 2 games against the AI on easy then lost to moderate so I started playing ranked games😅😅😅
7:00 when you said 'I need that gold too", it made me think of Tolstoi's short story "Pakhomm - How much land does a man need ?" I just discovered you and your comments are nice. I appreciate you're not making fun of Low Elo players, just being surprised by their unexpected strategies.
Hey T90. I like watching a lot of your content. Seems like aoe2 is a modern version of Chess. Pros, noobs, tournaments etc. But this game is easily the best i have ever seen. Amazing swings. Remarkeable persistence to the strat by Isit. This game is just magnificent. 👍👍👍👍
Someone has used a wall strategy against me before. I was huns and it was late game, barely any gold, and the other player had managed to literally build a maze of walls throughout the entire map
i do not remember the last time i watched 3 videos in a row all 50 mins plus and i watched all of them completly. this is gold!!!! dude you have to realise how good your videos are. i have adhd and such a low attention span its insane. and yet i sit here and enjoy 1:30h of a guy that build a sextuple wall setup. i love it
This game is like that experiment they did with spiders where they gave them different drugs and took photos of the resulting webs, except here it's a minimap instead of a web
He's actually using the walls as tanks to get the enemy into position. It reminds me, in a mirror world sort of way, in how the Romans would never fight a pitched battle, they'd just build fortifications until the field was in their favor.
oh man i just listened to Dan Carlin's celt holocaust. roman's were carpenter/soldiers. after each night, the fort would get bigger and bigger. nice recollection
Burgundians are essentially Belgian, so "bonjour" does make sense for them. While the Burgundians are first noted in early (~200)CE as being an east germanic people, the Burgundian civ in the game appears to be referring to the people who settled on the Rhine river (in Belgium) in ~400CE. The reason I say this is because of their unique tech Flemmish Revolution, which is a reference to the peasant uprising in Flanders in the early 1300s. Flanders was one of the kingdoms of France at the time. Anyway, blah blah blah history. Just thought I'd enlighten anyone who was curious as to why they speak a french dialect instead of a german dialect.
*Sits through the entire video* "Well done to those of you on RUclips who have skipped ahead to this point. I can see that you've done that." I... I was so engrossed that I forgot I could skip ahead. The few actual exchanges have all been really interesting. iSit waits behind his walls until he sees an opening and then pounces. He doesn't overextend, either. When he beat blue the second time, he realized that he didn't have the military to kill buildings and pulled back. Chefarzt, on the other hand, keeps getting impatient and over-committing. I actually really enjoyed this as it was two different generals' viewpoints on how battle should be won. iSit is all about that attrition game. Chefarzt is about attacking persistently until the enemy has been crushed. This was a beautiful game :D
25:50 i used to play aoeror when i was like 10 years old and i had no problems seeing that some siege do friendly fire and that i should move my units away...jesus
I remember hearing about a grand master chess player who became a grand master by playing to a draw his opponents. In a chess tournament, if you can come to a draw against a higher rated player, you technically win by earning more points. So, ISit has a play style that is more or less just like this grand master chess player. Its a valid way to win. Even in real war, the goal is to make it too expensive in time, material and men for your enemy to want to attack you.
I love ISit because this is exactly how I played starcraft and supreme commander back then. Just wall, build long ranged units and sit there for hours usualy winning by the enemy either running there army into my wall and getting killed at range because they got bored or them straight leaving because they dont want to deal with it. There is nothing i hated more then attacking and the only thing i was ever good at was Macro so controlling an army gave me anxiety.
started watching this video yesterday found your channel now, after a while i fell asleep and woke up in the morning, Isit was still running trough the woods making new bases like robin hood
My headcanon is that iSit is actually an absolute godly player with perfect unit control, but after seeing and experiencing the horrors of war he swore to only use his powers as the very last resort, giving his enemy every opportunity to choose peace over violence. I also think this is why he does not use bombard cannons or towers or castles, he does not actually want to kill anyone. I'm only disappointed he didn't buy stone with his gold when he ran out. Also if he had moved one or two more times I can very much imagine that Blue would just surrender without any need for more violence.
They did buy 200 stone for the new TC in the final southernmost base at the end ;) But that palisade wall + 1onager crushing it was spectacular. Right after T90 saying it wouldn’t do anything

The one onager halting the entire push in the south at the end was awesome. And T90 doubted the palisade walls.
he got proven wrong real fast xd
That 9000 iq play was amazing
55:35 The way iSit corners blue's army using pincer attack is just beautiful.

If you want to win a fight, fight it on your terms, I'm a big fan of iSit's strategy
As a true Spaniard, iSit was saving all the gold for M. Rajoy. I approve.
iSit: If I take one more step, it will be the farthest away from the Shire I've ever been.
I remember hearing about a grand master chess player who became a grand master by playing to a draw his opponents. In a chess tournament, if you can come to a draw against a higher rated player, you technically win by earning more points. So, ISit has a play style that is more or less just like this grand master chess player. Its a valid way to win. Even in real war, the goal is to make it too expensive in time, material and men for your enemy to want to attack you.
I am so impressed that this worked out! really!
55:31 This fight is incredible. Probably the best fight I've seen on this channel. Wow wow wow
I love ISit because this is exactly how I played starcraft and supreme commander back then. Just wall, build long ranged units and sit there for hours usualy winning by the enemy either running there army into my wall and getting killed at range because they got bored or them straight leaving because they dont want to deal with it. There is nothing i hated more then attacking and the only thing i was ever good at was Macro so controlling an army gave me anxiety.
lmao this is too good. iSit becoming one of my fave lil LELs
ive been sitting and waiting for the new t90 video
Legendary. The patience is incredible
I love how isit places his farms around his TC so symmetrically.
started watching this video yesterday found your channel now, after a while i fell asleep and woke up in the morning, Isit was still running trough the woods making new bases like robin hood
I love the t90 deja vu you get when you watch a yt video from a stream you watched.
that was beautiful; glad i watched the whole thing
i imagine iSit, as he realised he has to make army to defend, that he types in the chat: "aww man, you made me stand up"
this strat has so many layers!
lmao i think its so funny that isits strat is legitametaly to wall up until his opponent gets bored and quits
I love how blue was ignoring the trees that could make easy breach...
This man is just playing tower defense. I love it.
50 mins in and wondering how this game can go on for another 30
Edit: now I see
That kill box that came from a mind of madness is definitely something.
My headcanon is that iSit is actually an absolute godly player with perfect unit control, but after seeing and experiencing the horrors of war he swore to only use his powers as the very last resort, giving his enemy every opportunity to choose peace over violence. I also think this is why he does not use bombard cannons or towers or castles, he does not actually want to kill anyone. I'm only disappointed he didn't buy stone with his gold when he ran out. Also if he had moved one or two more times I can very much imagine that Blue would just surrender without any need for more violence.
They did buy 200 stone for the new TC in the final southernmost base at the end ;)
But that palisade wall + 1onager crushing it was spectacular. Right after T90 saying it wouldn’t do anything
I freaking laughed my brain out 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 i just love this guy 🤣🤣🤣🤣
