"all my friends are in castle age, theyve got like monastaries that they go to every weekend"
that whole part was genius
i like that you dont tell us to sub all the time like the others, ive followed the channel for about 3 years now and like the calm mature commentary. Also I love the LEL concept, pretty much the only thing ive watched since joining, might have watched like 5 non-LEL videos in total. Really wish someone (or you) brought it to aoe3 which is my aoe
Commie games are really fun once you get into them. The meta and the politics and the big battle royales with hundreds of units and wonder defense is really entertaining! You should definitely try it out. :)

@@cxzact9204 Sounds awesome sure will do
@cxzact I watched one of his 3 hour videos, that was intense. I agree the big 8 ffa, I think they're all diplomacy games(?), very entertaining. But I also watch a ton of LEL, it's definitely the level I am at, or possibly I'm lower lol. But those interesting volleys they pull off, great entertainment and lessons for me.
Australian here, only started aoe2 12 months ago. Addicted! Subbed during the first t90 vid i watched.
Love the work you do.
AM playing this game at 72 and can tell you its quite the challenge. 15 ranked games and all a loss. Working on hotkeys to improve my APM. Can tell you at 30 you aint seen nothing yet! Each year goes quicker. Any suggestions to help improve? Stick with just a few civs? What ever you might offer I'd appreciate. Watch you mostly on you tube. Recently did join your discord channel.
Stick to 3
Bit younger than you but I'm an old gamer too. And too much stuff to remember. I'm trying to narrow it down to 3 to 5 civs
My recommendation is determine what you like most about the game (Eco booming? Raids with cav? Big shots with siege? Aggressive control?) and then learn the basics of doing that strat. As you're learning it and playing, watch what your opponent does that's causing you to lose and then learn and apply counters to those strategies. Civs are a part of this, but fundamentals generally apply to all civs (have vils queud up, don't sit on resources unless you are saving for something specfic, get your upgrades, etc). Rotating between 2-4 is fine. I sometimes find switching civs keeps my mind fresh and find what I really like playing.
Picking up a new game competitively can be tough. There's a lot to learn anf it's hard to figure out what your mistakes are. I always do this method because it lets me have fun by focusing on what I like and using that as a basis to improve. Good luck and congrats on finding a new hobby!
Learn how you enjoy playing. My dad started playing at 62 and loves knights!
He started with magyars and Byzantines so as to learn with no crazy economic bonus, but play how he likes.
I suggest you play the learning tutorial and nail down the fc 2 stable knights build. Or fast crossbow. And remember - armour blacksmith upgraes for cavalry, range and attack upgrades for archers first.
What civs have you used and what maps? What units do you mostly make?
Happy birthday T90 ! Here's to another year of top-notch AoE2 content !
It's not personal, it's just Byz-ness.

This isn't goodbye. It is just ... _Tatar_

I was today years old when i realized that harvesting sheep doesnt count as Hunting
That's kind of messed up because herding isn't a thing, and you do sometimes have to hunt down the sheep to claim them.
This is the most philosophical T90 stream I’ve ever watched 🧠🧐
Happy birthday T90. Enjoy your Castle Age years 🏰
Happy birthday man! Great analogy of aging in life with age-ing in AoE2, I do such analogies all the time too.
As a 47-year-old, this is what I've learned...age really is just a number, at least to this point. What I've lost over the years is just from the growing commitments from an accreting list of kids, friends and family. Not age. In fact, I'm the strongest I've been, due to working hard to eke out the time to do my routine. My limitations are not failures, but badges of honour from being vested in the lives of all I care about. Bullies and jocks peaked in high school and forever moan about the fading lives they let deteriorate. Functional people grow and share their strength.
At least until you're 47. Maybe afterwards it's all walkers and Epsom salts. Shrug!
I found in my 30s everything started to click.
Castle age is when you regret putting more Into your eco early in dark age
I think the life comparison to different AoE ages was maybe my favourite part of your videos yet.
Love Elo Legends. I learn so much watching others play.
I did not expect to get mildly emotional at an AOE2 analogy today LOL g'donya
As the worlds oldest gamer at 50 years old, 30 years is just a kid. :)
Got you beat
aint Fatslob like 70 something
@@sugacanebeats17 YEah he's an old retiree
Those are rookie numbers, you gotta pump those numbers up
whoop whoop! LEL before bed.
Nut already? 😂
from 75% to 60%. 15% of the audience in 25-35 category aged out of it 11
30? You're just a whippersnapper! I was in high school when AOE2 was originally released, which makes me older than dirt (aka 40-ish). You've still got a good decade to go before everything starts falling apart! The thing you'll start to notice as your 30s progress is that your body starts needing less and less of an excuse for things to go terribly wrong physically. Sleep in just a little off position? Achy neck for a week. Move just a tiny bit wrong while scanning groceries? Several days of painful lower back spasms, with a fat hospital bill as a bonus. There's something else that goes downhill, but I just can't seem to remember it...
Was in my 30s when it came out.
Happy early birthday T90! Love the content. I grew up playing Age of Empires 2. It was the first game I ever played and I would watch my parents all the time. Now I'm here watching your streams and videos and it takes me back to the joy that I had when I first started gaming as a kid. Here's to another decade of great AOE2 content!
It's okay to still watch this if you're older, but it brings back memories?
No. Video games are for children. Adults have to stop enjoying them as soon as they hit Castle Age.
I was late to get my Feudal age upgrades and by the time I could click-up to Castle age, I had Castles on my face and cavaliers Rams battering down my walls so I had to run away with my vills and make a sneak base while re-booming and getting to Castle. This is not about any game I played, this is just the story of my life in AoE2 terms.
I love that Age of Empires life analogy! Which reminds me, I should probably start thinking about the castle age...
u click up to castle age?
Maps are mostly Arena Four Lakes and Arabia. CIvs Include Franks, Celtics, Teutons, and recently Vietnamese due to the exposure of other civs camp. A bit of a benefit.
One of my favorite LEL casts in a long time
I remember before I got more comfortable with the game, I would hesitate to grab blacksmith upgrades with Byz because I figured their whole identity was countering, and I was never sure if my opponent was going to stick with what unit they're using.
Aussie numbers are possibly higher on YT as it can be hard sometimes to watch everything live. Being on YT means we can still enjoy, but at a later stage. Tx for providing this. Keep up the great work 🤩
That’s cool info about the analytics of your channel. I’m glad I’m on the only 27 year old that watches AoE content on the regular. Time perception changes, but the rate at which it proceeds doesn’t change, kinda weird wording but yeah. My dad just turned 63, my grandad just turned 94. Talk about seeing your world change. Anyhow, just enjoy what you have and not dwell on what you used to have or don’t have. Happy birthday T
I hit thirty 2 months ago. T90, i understand you. The time flies so fast now.
It's okay man, I'm almost 40 and played this game when it came out... 30 isn't so bad. Just remember to teach others, invest your time in people who need it and your family. "Wisdom is the one thing that makes growing old worth it." So make the best use of your time and don't waste your days :) love your videos, keep em comin!
"UK, if you step it up, you could surpass Germany" -- you just summed up the history of Europe in the 20th century.
Philosophical stream cast by T90. Happy belated birthday!
Please please please make a whole video where you philosophize on life through AoE2 metaphors. We would love that!
Seconded
I watch so many of your vids that I just assumed I was subbed but I wasn’t. Just goes to show you gotta promote yourself man! 😅
Happy Birthday T90 and when it comes to life AoE2 comparisons i can fully say i got drush'ed in my life so i started to wall up and stay inside my base in my feudal age, iSit and fatslob were onto something
Proudly representing 0.000001% of Zambians who watch your channel 🇿🇲🇿🇲
WOW, that's at least 100 million Zambians.
@@shanerooney7288 hahaha if only.
The only thing I ended up disliking about turning 30 (45 now), is I distinctly felt how my "factory warranty" expired, lol
I started feeling the effects of every minor previous lesion
And I take VERY good care of my health, but still
Happy B-day T90!
Aussie here, been watching for the last few years...
...subscribed today. lol
Ever since AOE2 came to xbox I have been watching you from Australia 🇦🇺 😁
I have learnt so much already. Keep up the good work mate 👍
your commitment and mostly your honesty about the channel is why i clicked the sub button once i saw your content for the first time
I’m 35 and I barely remember the past 5 years. Think about the fact that every year you age that 365;day year becomes a smaller overall % of your total life… that’s why “time flies” as you age
Watching this a few months late but I’ve been watching your videos for quite a few months now and can say you got me back into this game! First time commenting on a RUclips video in over a decade. Keep it up, you are killing it!
oops, felt called out. There you go t90, one more subscriber I've been part of that analytic for a while. Also I feel like asking people to subscribe is fine every so often vs like an every time subscribe spam.
This reminds me of my favourite rapper from the era this game was released: Byzmarkie.
This comment aged about as well as I did now that I've heard the in-game rambling.
Just wanted to say that I enjoy that you don't harp on about likes and subs. You let the content stand on its own and the folks who appreciate it will stick around and respect you more for it
If it makes you feel better I'm already 30 except I have no job, no partner and no future. So yeah you shouldn't be worried.
Not as tough as playing TEUTONS
Have a nice birthday, T90! How about a future event with Castle units only? Should be scriptable.
A way to comfortably do it could be to put subscribe reminders in the description and/or a pinned comment alongside what you normally have in the descriptions and pinned comments.
Great job-game commentary…love the approach to your content as well as obviously the content itself
I didn't know I wasn't subscribed because your videos always come up on my front page. Fixed it.
First time I actually subscribed when someone said "subscribe". It's a rare blessing I give unto you.
LMAO you know i never realized i wasnt subbed to your chanel until you brought it up in the vid, i see all your uploads pop up on my page tho. ALSO HAPPY B-DAY
Your comparison to life and the Ages and buildings in the game had me laughing like a crazy person😂
Hearing about your RUclips statistics about viewers from Australia as an Aussie was pretty interesting. I didn’t guess that we’d be your fifth highest viewers. I’ve watched your content since ~2017 but recently I’ve got several of my family members watching your content too. I can’t see us being your top viewership anytime soon though 😂
Welcome aboard the third floor T90! It's been just some months for me, so I can relate to that feeling last year ✌🏻
Grats on your birthday from a guy who turns 56 in August.
The point of your life when everyone is telling you to get married is the equivalent of MBL yelling at Tim to go up to imp.
Many people feel the same way of getting older I think...
But doing the best you can in your life time is what counts
You are doing a great job Tristan
Happy birthday - We love you!
I have watched every video since early 2018. Never watched a stream though. love the content keep it up.
T90 44 and counting. Keep doing what you are doing! You're great. My breakfast break is better because of you.
I got castle dropped and had to deal with bombard cannons while I was in the dark age and just starting with not even building a house yet and my town center got completely destroyed along with all my villagers and buildings and barely had enough wood to build a single lumber mill. Life used cheat codes against me and I have had to barely survive on 1 villager and a single lumbermill barely and now at 34 next Saturday I will be starting to go to Castle Age I hope.
Go for the 1 mill!!! Just subbed :)
Well of course your sub level is low; you keep telling people NOT to click the bell. 11
"I didn't even know the hotkey for my university." ah geeze, man.
Yo, subscribed french still in a somewhat dark age at 22.
I actually really liked red's use of cavalier to supplement his trash army. Granted, it wouldn't have been as necessary if he'd gotten more skirm upgrades, but considering his lack of those they were a good choice to counter blue's skirms and to snipe trebs. And if they hadn't been out of position during the final push he could have used them to snipe blue's trebs once the halbs were gone and maybe pushed through.
Haven’t watched the whole vid so idk what the title is referring to yet, but Byzantines (and Teutons) were instrumental in my rise back up to 1000 ELO.
ah yes, fellow Teuton understander
Catapharcs for the win
Happy Birthday T90, we're almost exactly the same age!
Man what's all this stuff about turkeys. People pick Tatars for the trebs throwing bolders further than the Hulk.
Also pppftpp - turning 30 and still casting LEL with shitty small trees enabled.
I feel bad for not clicking like on more videos. Sorry t90 you make amazing content and always have followed for a few years and each day is made better by your videos. Love it keep it up bro
I feel like 64% is actually really good. Whenever I hear other creators mention it, it's upwards of 70% or 80%
Hay man, I turned 30 in March and let me tell you, after it happens...you realises it is just another day that passes. Nothing changes.
As long as you have happiness on this earth, then nothing else matters, age is nothing. Remember, Vlad III Dracula Tepes did not start impaling people until he was in his 40's. Greatness can come at any stage.
Seeing 800+ treated as low elo, I feel personally ashamed
love LEL so much. Sad that we missed blue's vil dying in the second boar lure, after he narrowly avoided losing two villagers a few seconds earlier! See the eco K/D change in the bottom corner at 3:56
I am turning 30 now. There were roman generals fighting on the battlefield at almost 70. So as long as you keep yourself well, you have so much time its all good man.
Besides, if you so not focus on how boomers always needed goals at 20-30-40.. etc, and how 60 is the new 20. Embrace being able to be an example and leadee for youth and also a friend to nearly everyone older. As a man, 30 to 40 is an amazing time with how to interact with society if you want to he a light around others.
As I get from 20's to 30, thing shave gotten so much nicer with others.
And how we say, gl hf man hahah.
T90, totally agree with your model of engagement with you as a content creator. Keep doing it in the same way!
30 is a great age, your somewhat settled and are moving towards your life goals. You have the confidence of an older experienced man. Enjoy your 30's as much as possible. Don't feel sad it's all part of the program! Thanks for your videos and Happy Birthday!
1.3% of viewers being 65+ years old is doubtful. Like I'd guess that number is similar to how many viewers are 100+ years old due to just some people not adding their real birth date.
I'm turning 23 this year im old :(
I've bee 30 for a couple weeks now so as someone way older than you T90 I'm gonna say it all feels the same to me. I haven't noticed a big difference after I turned 18.
Just realized I never subbed. Lmao
I forgot i wasn't subscribed lol
I am also in castle age now, working on the economy for a good imperial age.
Also keeping the military ready to defend from rushes.
As someone with 900-950 elo, would I be eligible for LEL?
Yes, everything below 1000
Since I have turned 27 time has just flown by, as someone who is 29 this is disturbingly true
Hey t90 and friend and I recently started playing ranked and we sometimes discuss things from your video's. May I ask you to cast on of our games and give some feedback? It would mean the world to me. We always watch our replays after each match and discuss pros and cons and be awesome to see a legend like you trash talk us XD
See on the surface I don't get relics often because the idea of generating money by encouraging people to make pilgrimage to see an old bit of tat and fork over what little gold they have seems cruel and overtly capitalist, in reality though it's because I'm too overwhelmed already by that point of the game.
Steppe tribes
Nomadic architecture set for the Nomad civs, Mongols get Yurt houses and steppe Nomad architecture. Tartars + Cumans get Yurts for dark age houses and Huns too get steppe Nomad architecture. The Mongol Yurts should have less HP but also be much cheaper.
With their Unique tech 'Nomads'' if their cheap , low HP Yurts goes down, then they need not create more. It will be perfect. Nomad tech should give you the opportunity of packing up your tc and rebuild it for free. (Moving ox cart)
Armenians should get the current Tatar extra Hill bonus damage for all their units + buildings in exchange for faster moving CA + only CA does 15% more hill bonus damage + Tatar, Mongol and Hun scouts have the ability to lame enemies hunt/livestock.(Scorched earth tactics) Scouts take less damage from boars. These civs should also get to train op to 5 hunting wolves in the Dark age (Cost 25 food)
Huns should also get steppe lancers (I can’t believe this was not the case from day one.)
Time continues to speed up the older you get. 30 is still OK, but once you hit 35, that's where the wheels start getting a little loose. I'm 62 so.....you'll see lol.
Gen X'er here... (xennial technically)
Time continues to feel faster as you get older. When you are 10, 1 year is 10% of your lifetime. When you are 100, 1 year is 1% of your lifetime.
So, when you are 50, basically time feels like it is moving 5 times as fast as it did when you were younger... and 10 times as fast if you hit 100. Years start to feel inconsquential... It's WEIRD.
Only problem with doing 8 infantry civs is that every champion has the exact same stats. That's the equivalent of a bunch of generic champions fighting each other, baring someone forgetting blacksmith upgrades. It could still be fun to have a ton of free, speedy, beefy champion that attach 300% faster and have extra Peirce armor... And with the goths you can have an extra 100 of them. It would just wind up being a MOSH PIT... Could be fun
I tried to apply your Ao2 life lessons T90, now my boss has fired me for throwing a javelin through his office window. More time for AOE2, lets go!
Tl;dr subscribed, no bell notification is fine. Can watch fresh content without disturbing push notifications. Consider helping out the community c:
Long time RUclips viewer. Idr how long I've subscribed for. But I for those that aren't subscribed and don't because you want to avoid notifications, I do just fine being subscribed with the bell off. I've pretty much watched most of Clown90's videos, and always try to drop a like on videos to help feed the algorithm beast. I'm the stereotype of liking to fall asleep watching, but I also try to go back during the day and watch the battle for real.
Keep up the great work my bro. 31 here. 30 isn't so bad, just make sure to do your stretches and/or keep your body active and healthy. (And try not to sleep on the couch too much, your back will thank you).
I watch you all the time I just realized I was not subbed when you brought it up. Thanks T90 Very Cool!
I'm 22, live in the US but no a US citizen, became a software engineer since last year. My feeling is I am still in feudal, and just clicked the up to castle age button.
Some lessons that I learned in dark and feudal:
1. Boars are scary. Get loom first, and be brave to face them.
2. Dears are sometimes a decent distance away from TCs, feel free to build a mill if you are not capable of pushing them in.
3. If you observe friends somehow get feitorias at the start of their game, try ally with them and ask for resources.
4. Fast Castle is not the only strategy, be respectful to others who still work hard in dark or feudal age.
Some advices that I got from people in the late game:
1. Monks are not only used to pick up relics to generate gold, but also useful to heal up units.
2. Castle drop has huge potentials, but do not underestimate your opponents.
3. Idle villagers and inefficient resource gathering are probably no longer a very big deal as game progresses.
4. Winning the game is not probably the only goal, better to enjoy everything that happens along the way, such as building castles, boom with multiple TCs, bomber cannon micros, trash unit spams, trasporting to new territories, TC garrisons, and watching T90 streams.
Red could have easily won this if he just kept on top of building his eco. Allowing yourself to stay at 60 eco just isn't going to cut it, especially if your opponent has a higher score than you. No less than 100 villagers should be the minimum goal. And if you're the Byz, you build walls... come on man.... some of the strongest walls in the game. It would have stopped every raid in its tracks. And if you want the ultimate treb sniping unit... bbc all day long. More eco = more ability to build bbc and treb and army = victory. He still could have won the game when he quit. He just needed to start upping the vil count and bolstering his aggression.
I was 18/19 when aoe2 released. Now I'm in my 40s..T90 talking about how his viewers are all in their 20s and laughing at some of his viewers who are in their 30s, that was kind of sad.. What an i doing with my life in my 40s watching some youtuber casting some others playing a 20+ year old game😢
I read some people talking about turning 30. They said they felt really lucky to live to see 30, and they felt like they were at the beginning of a second life?
Not all people live to see 30, I'm going to live my next 30 years a little fuller than the first 30 years.
Edit: to T90, you don't need to be the "subscribe and like" guy, because you invest in the community of AoE, anyone looking for this content will find your commentary streams/videos.
Felt called out, had to sub lol.
There is NO problem to briefly remind people to sub. A lot of times, people literally forget to sub. I wouldn't sweat it if I were you.
