The final episode of the series, hope this benefitted many of you. Note I house scanned in this video, thats obviously gone now i recorded this way back
Hi Hera. Thanks for this amazing series. I would like you to make avideo explaining the post imperial economy. When to start to delete villagers. How many of them do you need in each resource, etc. What if you have a team? Talking about that... you did not talk to much about the team game. That would be a great material for upcoming videos. congrats.
I think the most underrated thing here is the recognition of the sneak - because of lack of buildings in opponent's base from scouting info. It's high-level game sense like this that separates the high 2ks from the rest of the pack.
i think ur completely wrong. I think this conclusion wouldve been drawn by any 1500+ (i am 1200 and i wouldve come to the same conclusion so.. ur a bullshitter)
@@JH-es6ty My friend, attack the argument, not the person. :) Unsure if you're being sarcastic, but 1200 players would have idled their scout, let alone use it in the right place at the right time AND come to the conclusion above. It's always easy to watch back and be a Hindsight Andy about how "obvious" some of the decisions and plays pros make, but there's a reason why there are so few of them and there are many of us.
@@AgeofNoob great, my comment got swallowed.. I am 1200, with 30 games. I dont wanna repeat the whole thing so i give you the notres. I stand with what i said, you are completely off. I am high masters in sc2, i never miss scouting information or have idle military. If someone is in castkle a minjute before me and no knights raiding -> i prepare an all in as the dude is almost certainly booming. It is a high amount of practice, superior unit control and not loosing units for free while also not missing a beat on the macro site that differenciate serral from a normal everyday gm. Same goes for pros vs 2000ö. So i stand by waht i saids. Not an insult but simply the hard to swallow truth u might be to soft to own up: You have no clue what you are talking about, bt you still talk, hence my harsh but honest words toward u.
@@AgeofNoob he is right tho, anyone 1500+ would come to this conclusion. No production buildings and no FCing can only mean sneak or trush (or that the opponent has no idea what he is doing but that obviously wasn't the case)
@@JH-es6tyI'm fairly certain age of noob is a lot higher than 12k elo and he most certainly knows what he is talking about. I have no idea why you are so confident and aggressive with your opinion considering you are only 12k? also nobody cares about your starcraft rating. I think one of the biggest differences between aoe and sc is that aoe is much more about adapting and strategy whereas starcraft is much more so about unit control. you shouldn't apply starcraft logic to aoe and think you are smart for doing so
What a game to end on... You did an incredible job of getting yourself out of that bad situation in feudal/after the castle drop. Super impressed and taught me a lot. Thanks for the series!
Its so amazing how AOE2 DE is getting so much support and highlight from the community: pro players, supporters and streamers despite all the issues it got. If Microsoft gave 1% of that attention in comparison, this could be the greatest RTS game of all time for decades to come.
That’s why Hera is a professional! I was wandering about things in Feudal. No way would i have made it any further after that Castle. Hera is an excellent player and even better personality. I have seen him destroy Viper and other high caliber players in past tournaments he’s brilliant
Great vid man! I love how detailed your explanations were for certain things, you already do a good job of that in your normal games but these were especially informative. Would you ever do more 'Over-Explain" games in the future? They're quite popular from other gaming content creators (e.g. Grubby in Warcraft 3)
This series was all filmed in a single day a couple months ago at this point. He's been chopping it up into segments and gradually releasing to RUclips to make it more digestible which is nice
So what could have he gone for here? Obviously Koreans are missing both bloodlines and the last armor upgrade so their cav is just shit, but they can't go archers either since your archers just beat that, then again transition to champion would take forever and probably won't do much either, I just feel like he really has no options that would work here.
Hey Hera, you say the meta now is to early wall and then a scout rush doesn't pay off. Well why did you bother teaching us how to do a scout rush that doesn't pay off, rather than teaching us how to full wall? This is exactly the criticism levelled at you earlier that the stuff against AI and so on doesn't resemble a real game where people just wall super early. I get that walling like that relies on having a great map, and you can't always do it, and you did say that too, but still it would be good for you to have played a few games where you do just play that way.
Some of you aren't recognizing or possibly aware that Hera shouldn't lose ANY of these games to 2k unless he's versus another surf, he is 2k7 or 8 now, these other players are probably 2k-2k1 at the most. By the way, roxyC is Trash, roflmao.
The final episode of the series, hope this benefitted many of you. Note I house scanned in this video, thats obviously gone now i recorded this way back
That’s huge. That allowed you to spot the sneak and adapt
how do i have you review my game footage or is this just a t90 thing lol
is a great journey with you on ultimate 2k guide.... i will practice and then i will show you my rated on discord... grettings great man.
I couldn't have imagined a better match to wrap up the series!

wow great respect Hera! playing a highlevel game and also explaining whats going on at the same time. thats some crazy multitasking.
He uses macros
"this hill is important so i'm going to get a house here to control it"
nice.
normally a field is enough
it's called real estate
What a game to end on...
You did an incredible job of getting yourself out of that bad situation in feudal/after the castle drop. Super impressed and taught me a lot. Thanks for the series!
Man, I think there is no other pro player that creates this much material to help the community, thank you very much my man for this effort!
Its so amazing how AOE2 DE is getting so much support and highlight from the community: pro players, supporters and streamers despite all the issues it got. If Microsoft gave 1% of that attention in comparison, this could be the greatest RTS game of all time for decades to come.
luckily they did
and it is
That’s why Hera is a professional! I was wandering about things in Feudal. No way would i have made it any further after that Castle. Hera is an excellent player and even better personality. I have seen him destroy Viper and other high caliber players in past tournaments he’s brilliant
Godlike comeback and mindset
How nice when pros give back knowledge to the community so that we casual gamers can get a leg up as well. Thanks Hera!
me watching this struggling to maintain 800...
thanks for the series!

The series is very good thank you. This game was epic how you could talk your way through it too. Simply the BEST!
Well seeing as my elo is currently 1979, this should be the life changing video to push me over the edge. :)
What a finish :D. Liked the series a lot
Craaazygood video! Insane value for your minutes "sacrified" Thx alot for that depth man!
house scanning? seems a very good tip thanks!
They removed it didnt they??
@@stevea1708 its been removed from the game 11
amazing series - incredible insight and effort put in. thank you.
Hera is it possible that we can see your keyboard when you play pro game
+++
Yeah... You can probably use a keycaster tool as an overlay
The first top player who do this will have a huge bust on viewers
@@mariano4313 viper used to do this
@@ritesharora4207 really? Any links?
Awesome game. Played so good under constant pressure. Awesome
Wp thanks for the awesome playlist man! Cheers from Edmonton
When do you full wall and when not? Cause in one of your first videos you were kinda against it.
10:15 I thought you couldn't build scan anymore after that patch
yeah true
This series was all filmed in a single day a couple months ago at this point. He's been chopping it up into segments and gradually releasing to RUclips to make it more digestible which is nice
Is build scan fixed?
RIP building scan exploit, you'll be missed.
Is it fixed now?
Can u publish your key shortcuts? I am looking for some inspiration :D
Nice play. I think you could have tower hopped through his house wall, right?
Hey Hera, is it better to whack the walls with villagers or garrison the tc and shoot them?
Thank god building scanning was removed... It's so cheese, and takes away the surprise factor of actually sneaking somewhere.
I want to point out: Kasva was stream sniping in this one. Not cool man!
great series hera
id kill for a road to 2k team game series.
Watched all the videos, still 1100 ELO :( Theory is there, execution not so much :D
I watched all the videos still havent tried ranked haha
I think you could have tower hopped through his house wall, right?
Hey Hera, why not push/mill your deer? He has no army so he cannot punish it in any way.
Is the last vídeo? Nooooooo :(
Gotta love Roxy at the start just spamming CRINGE in the chat xD
I think Hera saw only green kodes in the screen like Neo in Matrix. :)
LOL
How can you activate the red shield for idle vills?
How can you activate total number of vills?
This is a great resource
Isnt it rather important to have the fields close to the mill? You seem to be throughing them around a bit :D
like in minute 40? lol, there are more important things to do than aligning the farms
Shout out to RoxyC in chat - CRINGE
Im a 1100 ELO and i just played against an 1500 ELO - lost 17 ELO afterwards because I couldnt beet him - how is that even possible? :D
Such a cool game
So what could have he gone for here? Obviously Koreans are missing both bloodlines and the last armor upgrade so their cav is just shit, but they can't go archers either since your archers just beat that, then again transition to champion would take forever and probably won't do much either, I just feel like he really has no options that would work here.
Nice one
Hera destroys the opponent. Goes: Kind of messy game.
Imagine getting Hoang for this video
why no onager poor Kasva :/ maybe he thought brit snipe them too easily with their range?
If he just towered ur second woodline, it would have been gg
one can do 3 on wood dark age with brit and 19pop up :D
How can you still building scan ?
he recorded before the patch
edit...never mind
Kasva adamdır
Uhm, the sad thing will be that scouting with sheep will not be possible in AoE IV.
Why play AOE IV when you have to pay $100 and there is still devs making AOE II content !?
rofl on the pause
I’m pretty sure this guy was stream sniping!!
May the BRITONS get a nerf
That is when you play malian only so when people play Britons and Mayans you destroy them :).
@@thepidepiper2332 why malians tho
no
Mailan infantry get bonus pearce armour
@@thepidepiper2332 yes nice but there is much better options then the malians bro
Even incas are better
Are you suggesting me doing shit late game is ok lol
Huge adapting ... Alot of micro .... And map control ...

He provides myriad information covering virtually every facet of the game, and this is your comment?
@@feo130 yes, that was my comment.
The fuck did I just watch...
