He already said he won't make a colab bc he thinks if viper reviews his vids nobody will watch it in his channel. Which is bs imo bc 1st SOTL has more subscribers than the viper, 2nd, the viper is a much better player than a streamer or youtuber, much like tristan is much better streamer than actually a gamer, so I don't think the viper can steal spirit's views simply bc his videos are awsome.
We don't use air conditioning because we are good with ressource management. Insolation is key and a well insolated house cools down from the basement alone.
Yees to “viper reacts” videos. At least try, if it doesnt catch, let it go. I also recommend you to do all videos with stream. It feels much more natural when you have the chat to interact
I like the reaction to spirit of the law's videos idea is good. I think he wouldn't mind as you don't seem like the kind of person who would be disrespectful. If anything, I bet he would appreciate the insight into how his analysis works in practice. Granted, I know neither of you personally, but it just seems like that's the way it would go. Strictly your professional opinion.
i think sotl would not want an almost re-upload of sorts with vipers commentary. why would you watch his vid when you can watch it with viper commentary here
On the airconditioning discussion: consider investing in blinds on the outside of your window rather than airconditioning. Keeps the sun AND warmth outside instead of cooling the warm air that already got in. More prevention and better on energy consumption.
Say what you want, i love elephant archers. I just wish they could fire while walking, that'd be sick! But even as it is now, if you gather like 20 Elite EA there's not much your adversary can do to counter.
You will need an airtight seal where you discharge your hot air to the outside. I would look for foam board and metallic AC duct tape to seal everything, then drill a hole the size of the hot air exhaust tube through the board, put in your tube, silicon the outside of the tube. Done. If that doesn't work, you need a bigger AC.
I'd like to see your reactions to SotL vids. It's interesting to see how the theoretical optimal strategies mathematically compare to what you think are ACTUALLY the best strategies
Lately, I've been having more fun running Elephants Archers into the mix. They're still expensive and have a lot of weaknesses, but the faster fire rate and 10 less gold cost helps them be more usable in the late game! ^^
I think for Elephant Archers they are designed so you can slowly move like Teutons and keep monks around to heal them up, keeping your army constantly high numbers.
Hey! I'm quite new to online play. Right in the beginning you say "Indian pocket", but how do you know that you are pocket, and how can you influence your placement on the map`?
I would really like a reaction to Spirit of the Laws videos, i think they are ver usefull, and if a top player could react to them and speak from the experience if it some of the stuff works, it would be great.
Viper responds to SOTL would be AMAZING! Nilli said in a stream recently that too many new players pay too much attention to what STOL says which I thought was odd as his videos are basically just math and fact...
I think what he means is they rely too much on numbers and facts instead of just focusing on getting better at the actual game. As you play you get to know all the little game mechanics that Spirit focuses on as well as developing your own appreciation for how they all come together and how you want to take advantage of them. Maybe that is what he is getting at.
If you want to do even better, try mixing the EAs with normal archers. They have less range but about the same movement speed, so they automatically take the front line to protect the weaker, longer-ranged foot archers.
I would like to see you mix HCs and EAs. The HCs counter the halbs and the EAs tank the archers and siege. Because EAs have 1 less range, they automatically take the front position and tank for you.
Viper I think doing SOTL & vipey collab would be sick! I think it'd be really fun if there was a way he could discuss update patches and different civ unit effectiveness + your input on some of the potential meta shifts and as you said, how the changes may effect the competitive scene! Don't know the best way to produce content like that but you should definitely look into it!
So they continue to sucks hard. I can't think a way to make they avaiable. They maybe can be used to push hard or defend some places. But for what cost?
Sometimes I am not really sure if the units are strong or if it's just Viper who is that strong to micro them/ give them enough upgrades/ recruit big numbers etc
Yes. I downloaded VC-redist.x64 and .x86. That helped most of my problems. Now it at least don't crash vs. the AI, and most ranked games flow well. But still having freezes and crashes when i'm not playing on EU servers.
Holy fuck those boars are massive lmao. Is that a mod replacing elephants/rhinos but keeping the size the same or something? Or is it just to make them more visible?
Are all mods usable/legal in ranked games? If you can change sizes of things, you could also make some color marker around pigs/gold/relics or sth to make them easier to find, which would give you an unfair advantage...
this summers are so hot :( my window is so shit the sun tries to kill me the whole day through it in summer so in summer its dark and still too hot if i am in my room with the fan combined only in the night in can be cool but there are some nights where the temperature says „screw you i will be high now too“
Viper in Germany: Wow it's really hot here Me living in a southern spanish city: KEKW P.s. i would love to go to Germany so summers are then mild for me
You have no idea what German heat is like. We sometimes have the nice pleasant dry heat of southern europe, but often we have something that we call "Schwüle". that is something I haven't yet encountered anywhere in southern Europe to a comparable degree. It is a pressing heat with so much humidity in the air that people jokingly say that you could cut the air with a knife. It is suffocating and makes even just sitting extremely exhausting. Your clothes and hair feel like they are glued onto you, you are constantly thirsty, no matter how much you drink and people get really bad headaches.
In his recent video on farm upgrades sotl pointed out how long it takes for crop rotation to kick in. I see you doing the upgrade very often when arriving in imp. So is it not that useless? Is there anything that sotl got wrong?
#1, there is value in delaying reseeding, so you don't really need to wait for one complete cycle to see an economic benefit, especially with dozens of farms. #2, it's cheap and the resources are worth far less than the saved attention in most imp games until autoreseeding is used. Time spent retasking villagers is time not monitoring military.
What was he talking about the Cheater? i hear the first time that someone cheats, were that those fun cheats like the cobra car he just used to win or what cheats did he used?
According to the chat, he uses a bug or something that allows him to research Spies in the Dark Age, which means that he barely needs to scout once his resources are found around his base, since his opponent will just do it for him overtime. It does sound subtle enough for him to avoid being caught immediately, but it's still quite a significant advantage if you know how to play properly already.
I don't think SOTL will mind .... In fact he is always interested in knowing views of pro.... In past he interviewed Tatoh for ideal castle times ....and Hera for one tc yolo strat....
@Siva sankar I know. But I don't see him playing with Viper for a long time. Just watching old games of them. Actually I like to see Viper, Daut and Tatho together playing, whatever the result is. And if they got Daniel, thats a plus (seeing sugarDaddying of Viper to him). :D :P
I would like to play beside viper, he is so nice to his teamates. "oh he is making vills out of the TC he looks like a good player"
yes a series to SOTL videos would be great
the videos sounds interesting always
+
+1
+2
He already said he won't make a colab bc he thinks if viper reviews his vids nobody will watch it in his channel.

1:40 viper explaining the Meta for the summer in Germany
Doesn't work for coastal maps where the night air is equally warm...
@@srivatsan29 but in those maps, the day air is colder too, that's why people choose those maps anyway.
you sir made me laugh :D :D
We don't use air conditioning because we are good with ressource management. Insolation is key and a well insolated house cools down from the basement alone.
@@Supernichtpatrick You try that in a country near the equator, good luck.
The thing is, you can’t trust that elephants archers are good just because theviper won with them... because theviper could win even with a sheep army
He is pocket position here. And his teammate( cyan) can go fast imp
Sheep army strat is def underrated.
Only if celts tho.
2:31 *Giant boar runs in as Viper talks casually*

I agree
As long as he doesn't dare call him "not very mathy", he should be fine indeed. 11
i think sotl would not want an almost re-upload of sorts with vipers commentary. why would you watch his vid when you can watch it with viper commentary here
@@ikkkkkkke1 tru
26:30 elephant archers tanks everything including pikemen and still survive......
You must definately do those reaction videos. Would be soo educational for us
@Tattle Boad thx
Do them!!!
10:00 The Viper comments on SOTL
On the airconditioning discussion: consider investing in blinds on the outside of your window rather than airconditioning. Keeps the sun AND warmth outside instead of cooling the warm air that already got in. More prevention and better on energy consumption.
Already have blinds outside the window, doens't really do the trick.

Done. If that doesn't work, you need a bigger AC.
Would be good if paired with champion to counter halbs, rams & skirms
Reacting to the unique unit counters would be awesome because on paper some units look like heavy counters but in reality aren't. Would be cool!
Yeah like those pikes vs any elephants or cav archers
I'd like to see your reactions to SotL vids. It's interesting to see how the theoretical optimal strategies mathematically compare to what you think are ACTUALLY the best strategies
it must be so satisfying for his team mates to watch this post match
Sultans of Swing is a great song, you have good taste in music, sir.
Lately, I've been having more fun running Elephants Archers into the mix. They're still expensive and have a lot of weaknesses, but the faster fire rate and 10 less gold cost helps them be more usable in the late game! ^^
I like how humble the viper is
I think for Elephant Archers they are designed so you can slowly move like Teutons and keep monks around to heal them up, keeping your army constantly high numbers.
Actually Teuton ally can heal you from behind with 2x range and tank with their new Tanky Paladins
Hey! I'm quite new to online play. Right in the beginning you say "Indian pocket", but how do you know that you are pocket, and how can you influence your placement on the map`?
"They so fat they cant even patrol together"
"They cant even patrol together. What's wrong with them?!?!"
Dude, they are fat. You said it.
elephant archers need to either deal more damage per shot, or fire 2-3 arrows to seem viable
I guess they are like towers so if you get to wall them close to your enemies or in battle they could be good
Halberdiers vs elephants are a super hard counter. Any other units deal so little damage in comparison.
the thing is the civs bonuses are put into imp camels so it like you cant buff the ele archer cuz the civ dont need it
I would really like a reaction to Spirit of the Laws videos, i think they are ver usefull, and if a top player could react to them and speak from the experience if it some of the stuff works, it would be great.

As you play you get to know all the little game mechanics that Spirit focuses on as well as developing your own appreciation for how they all come together and how you want to take advantage of them. Maybe that is what he is getting at.
While they may be math and facts they are typically based on very abstract scenarios that may not entirely apply in practice
If you want to do even better, try mixing the EAs with normal archers. They have less range but about the same movement speed, so they automatically take the front line to protect the weaker, longer-ranged foot archers.

Yes to the react vids, it's nice seeing the extra insight
Hey!? Somebody? Please call a flaming camels!!! Now!
Humongous boar.
Feral Hogs.
So they continue to sucks hard.
I can't think a way to make they avaiable.
They maybe can be used to push hard or defend some places. But for what cost?
Goths: Have highest win rate.
Viper: Goths are potentially the weakest civ.
*cries in Barracks*
Your spirit of the law reaction video idea sounds great. I’d watch it
Yeah, yeah elephant archers blah blah... All I see is Teal carrying the Silverboi !!
Small trees, huge boars. What's next?
Medium wolfs
where are you? i hear you but cant see you.
also in the winter i remember when we had real snow in frankfurt
now there isnt real snow the most time
Ele arc, pikes, and scorps = GG
TheViper reacts would be an awesome series...
so you need a meatshield for your tank units, in order to keep them alive and proceed to invest your thriving economy to slinging to your allies?
At 00:50 we see the biggest boar ever
Guys don't be fooled, Viper can make anything look op 11
Spirit of the Law is AOE's Bob Ross.
Don't the elephant archers rely on monks in order to be good? Rather, didn't they used to need monks or castles around to do well?
Sometimes I am not really sure if the units are strong or if it's just Viper who is that strong to micro them/ give them enough upgrades/ recruit big numbers etc
You should do a viper reacts videos to highlights of viewer submissions of their strategy
PLEASE DO REACT TO SPIRIT OF THE LAW MY KING. FEED YOUR SLAVES
reacting to SOTL videos would be awesome, i would love if he interviewed you aswell
Anyone else having issues with new patch? More freezes, long waiting time in Queue etc?
Yes. I downloaded VC-redist.x64 and .x86. That helped most of my problems. Now it at least don't crash vs. the AI, and most ranked games flow well. But still having freezes and crashes when i'm not playing on EU servers.
I would really love to see a series commenting on spirit of the law's videos, indeed.
Holy fuck those boars are massive lmao. Is that a mod replacing elephants/rhinos but keeping the size the same or something?
Or is it just to make them more visible?
I've often watched SotL and wanted a pro player's input. I'm sure he'd be happy to even collaborate with you.
What happened with the spirit of the law reactions?
What about champs to accompany them?
did they make the boar bigger or is that a mod?
Are all mods usable/legal in ranked games?
If you can change sizes of things, you could also make some color marker around pigs/gold/relics or sth to make them easier to find, which would give you an unfair advantage...
this summers are so hot :(
my window is so shit the sun tries to kill me the whole day through it in summer
so in summer its dark and still too hot if i am in my room with the fan combined
only in the night in can be cool
but there are some nights where the temperature says „screw you i will be high now too“
0:50 ...super boar mod

@@boahkeinbockmehr boi you should go to an equatorial country then
Rainbow scoreboard @5:33!
Viper, on what platform you play nowadays. I don't see u anymore on vooby ( sorry i came back to AOE after 2 year break,)
What other civs would you like to see added to AoE? I think Mughals and Swahili would be cool additions
Did Viper install a mod that changes the green color back to the darker tone from before the DE?
Guys, i see that elephants archer has mele attack 7+4 so it is possible to attack in mele ?
SOTL video react sounds like a good idea vipi
They look like Jurassic boars
i would totally watch 'theviper reacts to spirit of the law', please make it happen!
Electricity is pretty expensive in Europe isnt it?
In his recent video on farm upgrades sotl pointed out how long it takes for crop rotation to kick in. I see you doing the upgrade very often when arriving in imp. So is it not that useless? Is there anything that sotl got wrong?
It takes a while to kick in, but if you have the resources to spare you might as well get it. Sooner you get it, sooner you get the payoff.
#1, there is value in delaying reseeding, so you don't really need to wait for one complete cycle to see an economic benefit, especially with dozens of farms.
#2, it's cheap and the resources are worth far less than the saved attention in most imp games until autoreseeding is used. Time spent retasking villagers is time not monitoring military.
Mythbusters SOTL let's go
wasnt that guy slavs why no halbs with unique tequ vs 3 guys doing horse units
What was he talking about the Cheater? i hear the first time that someone cheats, were that those fun cheats like the cobra car he just used to win or what cheats did he used?

Inc the elephanto archer/tuetonic knight unkillaball
How big are those boars!
Now they just need to be cheaper...or something
1 more attack for elite would be great
Are the boars bigger??
Does TheViper have bloodline on elephants?
I don't think SOTL will mind .... In fact he is always interested in knowing views of pro.... In past he interviewed Tatoh for ideal castle times ....and Hera for one tc yolo strat....
why does viper stream on mixer?
Why viper’s hog looks bigger?
snek hunts giant boar
missing secret with Daut...
@Siva sankar I know. But I don't see him playing with Viper for a long time. Just watching old games of them. Actually I like to see Viper, Daut and Tatho together playing, whatever the result is. And if they got Daniel, thats a plus (seeing sugarDaddying of Viper to him). :D :P
Freaked out by this princess castle mod
Where can I get free download of this game?
I love to see you aré playing often(oftener) (i know thats not a word) with nicov
Where is he going to stream from now onwards?
Mixer as always I guess
Why are the boars the size of rhinos? Is that a mod?
Elephants are the best animal
Now Elite elephant archer can defeat Cavalier with 26 or 38/350 HP (both are full upgrade)
Isso é um Javali ou um Dinossauro ?
Another good match
Elephantos!
viper fat shaming the elefantos :(
Who else notice the boar at 0.50 😂😂😂😂
