I like how you wrote "DAUT" with house foundations.
Tip 1: "Put "the" in front of your name, it worked for Yo and MBL"
Thx
The uton
The Hoang
Why?
@@Yprion hahahagaagag
Another tip that will help a lot in team games is that you can delete your resigned allies stuff. Many times they disconnect and you can just delete their camps, walls and villagers to steal their gold efficiently.
Or a market, in case your enemy tries to trade with them.
specifically, you can delete buildings of defeated players if you are allied to them AND they are allied to you. One of the two is not enough.
What I need in my life is a game with Teuton bombard towers and elite Chukonus :D
This is exactly what you can see in T-Wests most recent video. It's pretty interesting
Does it also work with converted Chu Ku Nus?
@@Mathemarius It should, It's all about the damage output of the units
@@rahulgr3167 What if the teutons converted an FU turk bombard tower, and put 10 chu ko nu inside of it. Would it shoot 4 cannon balls then?
@@DMgHalt I believe towers, monasteries and castles and maybe tcs cannot be converted
Watch towers get hill bonus vs other towers, it just has no effect in most cases, because the pierce armour (7) is higher than the attack (5) so the calculation will be roughly Max(1, 1.25*0)=1 - the bonus applies before the minimum damage. However if you are in the very typical situation where the watch tower on the hill has 8 or more attack it matters so a tower with fletching, bodkin and bracer will do 1.25 instead of 1 damage.
Edit: Extra arrows however are not affected by the hillbonus indeed.
fletching reduces the extra arrows, garrisoned villagers shoot (you need 5 instead of 4 for max arrows) so it can even be detrimental in some cases.
The ALT to ignore attack was the trick I was looking for a long time! Thank you! I always wondered how you used xbows in corners to kill villagers on the other side of the wall!
time?
That spies trick and seeing the cost in castle age was interesting
Hmm. It is from AOK verylong time ago
@@nguyenhuyduc9151 But new is that it works now already before Imperial Age (in case you have a Castle).
For tip #9 (boar lure), SoTL found out that the boar will keep chasing you if you are still within "Gaia's line of sight". Gaia is a neutral player that controls wolves/boars/deer and has line of sight on relics (try the cheat code: "natural wonders" to change to gaia in single player)
Yeah it doesn't need to be the boar's line of sight. If a wolf or a relic sees you, it will tell it to the boar.
Even a bird works. I think MBL told this gaia-trick too - obviously...🤣
@@rhalfik : D that is such a nice funfact
I remember t-west being the one that mentioned it in some of his videos, but I don't know who actually "discovered" it. For this, keep in mind, that wolves have a hilariously high vision range (11 iirc) so being chased by a wolf can actually help you sometimes 11
This man's a legend.
I hope my unborn child will watch all these videos while learning to play Age in a few years!
If it doesn't force it to
+1 for talking about the importance of Conscription
I didn't know that it was upgrades as well, that alone makes the technology worth it
conscription affects the work rate of several buildings, not the units directly. As such it affects EVERYTHING done in that building. This actually applies to most work rate bonuses (so chivalry will help you researching paladin, for example and huns will research it faster by default). One of the more important effects of this is, that persians advance to the castle- and imperial age faster than other (non-malay) civs. The work speed is preserved upon conversion, btw, so if you manage to convert a fully upgraded goth barracks, you can spam champions like nothing else 11
One very notable exception to this are the aztecs. Their bonus specifically reduces the train time of military units to 90% and does NOT affect upgrades.
For the problem mentioned at tip number 7, a possible solution is to build the gate behind your wall, and only delete (a part of) the wall when it's done. (Takes up a bit of space and makes the wall look less nice, though.)
it is a good idea though as gates are also weak points in your wall (less armor, can be attacked by more melee units: especially champions can easily break gates but struggle against walls). And this way, only a part of the gate is accessible and thus, fewer melee units can attack it at once.
Number 15 is actually pretty good, I sometimes forget my water when designing new concepts
#15 Stay Hydrated is my favourite
Fell in love with this game again after 2 decades due to your content. Also became a slightly better player after watching the master, previously could not even win horns of hattin campaign on easy 🤣🤣
additions:
#1 horse colar research time is the same as construction time for a farm with a single villager (with no civ bonuses). This makes timing the farm building relatively easy.
#2 normally buildings are invisible and untargetable for enemies until you start building *except* for when they have spies. While this is a rare scenario in PvP I'd though it would be worth pointing out.
#9 specifically, if the gaia player loses vision of the unit that the boar is chasing. So the vision ranges of other gaia units like wolves, relics and even birds can prevent the boar from losing aggro.
#15 I tried it and it really works!
#18 a lot of this was changed on a later patch. However, the mode still affects the viability of many civilizations, mostly benefitting civilizations with a "generic" dark age like vietnamese.
#27 in games with more than 2 players, the villagers of defeated enemies are still factored in. Keep that in mind.
This is one of the best and more useful video of aoe2! Thanks TheViper! Great content lately
There were few smaller things before that, butthe last one, that conscription speeds up also tech upgrades, I learned today after 25 years
3:26 "Stay hydrated" I have some of those old Cola glasses!
So... researching Spies right after Revolution would be a good idea... if you manage to survive
3:26 thanks viper best tip ever
Great video mate!
Whoa didnt know conscription increases tech speed
Yup! It increases building work rate, which affects both training units and researching techs.
@@T-West T-West! Hi!
¡Excelente vídeo!
¡Muchas gracias!
Great stuff thanks!!
Quick hidden trivia: the unfinished houses building in monks & building tips (3:05) written DAUT
That is wonderful. Thank you, I didn't see it.
@@MadnessTW you are most welcome
Couple follow up questions... towers don't do more damage to another tower if placed higher. What about castle to castle? Also... when you place a gate on top of a palisade wall, you don't get that wood cost refunded correct? Same question with stone walls and gates.
Great Content. Thanks alot.
This guy seems to know some AOC knowledge, if he plays a ranking, he should be able to play a higher position.
I agree, probably about 7/10
@@TheMrTape 11
Nice touch that the "Unfinished Constructions" spell Daut
I won't ever think of to make my villager into a fisherman and drop off food to dock. Appreciate these tips thx
Conscription increases research speed too! Whooaaa! Huge tip i did not know. I thought it was only unit production which is huge to begin with.
most "work rate uprades" affect everything you do in the affected buildings, including aging up as the persians.
Regarding spies, I try to use it to keep track of the amount of enemy villagers remaining but many times I see that even after killing a whole bunch of enemy villagers the cost stays the same, and it's always under the max cap, I've seen that it costs 6800 gold and after killing 10 vills it still costs 6800, would be pretty unlikeñy that the enemy creates the exact same amount of villagers at the same rate I kill them
that bombard tower trick is pure 20 years of game knowledge
These tips are super duper awesome 👍👍
3:26 life-changing tip
"Spirit of the Viper" 😁
Daut foundation!
SOTL music, well done there
06:20 that's a neat trick!! too bad I will never use it as I no water maps 11 but I am 100% going to use 07:27 :D
Please more of your advices !! Maybe do some videos of teaching
Thanks You are a Genius
Thank you!
Best thing was the strg and Alt trick ty
love how these range from duh viper everyone knows that, to oops ive been doing that wrong for 21 years
no.3 really helps a lot , tried so many times but i just killed the boar everytime i did it
Thank you viper very cool
very good editing
Stay hydrated 😂
Thank you vibora
thank u!!!!
thank you Vipy
Very nice guide(s) but I am wondering how many of the tips work in HD edition (not the Definitive)
Is nobody going to bring up the fact the unbuilt houses spell Daut @3:02 😂
i feel aoe2 needs to step up to the next graphical and technical engine update + renewing some old campaigns by making it more fun and true to historical aspects
Yes Viper love these videos 🙌🏼
7:50 *brain exploding*
The DAUT in daut house is magic
great vid.
I think the buy and sell labels in yellow font at 3:39 are flipped vipi :3
Love it!
wow wow looks amazing
Dude, if I could remember 60 tips I wouldn't need 60 tips to get better at AOE2.
Good video
3:05 DAUT 😂
brb getting hydrated
I knew all of them and I'm still 900 elo... oh well... I guess I should watch fewer videos and play more! :D
n° 29 blew up my mind...4 times lol
I think you messed up a bit the illustration for the tip 16 for markets buy and sell
4:21 Now Chinese *actually do* start with extra villagers! 11
nerf conscription price or research time, so Vietnamese get an indirect buff
Without water, one may be too dry to improve.
How do i flip waalgates?
I play a lot of team games that color and positioning on map was best tip…
WTF? Pls make a Chinese-Teutons meme game. I wanna see bombard-turrets so bad
T-West (he helped making this video) uploaded a 2v2 Arena game today where he used that strat
Grande Örjaaaaaaan
Grande Vaipaaaaaaaaa!
Gracias
When building gates over a wall, do i get refunded resources? How about over a wall that hasnt been built yet?
3:05 DAUT hahahahaha
What is the name of the mod with the star above the relics? can anyone write?
Wolves also don't attack herdables, nor ships lol
Tip 15: pour Minecraft potions into your cup and drink it for free elo
MOOOOOORE!!!
STAY HYDRATED
Do you have to destroy existing farms to get the upgraded function? or will it reset after your re-seed?
I believe whenever it’s seeded counts as a new farm, so if you have farms down, then get the tech, it will take effect when they re-seed.
There’s also timing to think about, I think people say get the tech to 25% then you can seed a farm so by the time you’ve got the tech your villager will then finish seeding so you will have an upgraded farm.
@@gobind360 Thanks :)
Stay hydrated lmao
I use conscription to defeat the AI
The multi shot bombard tower thing is such a strange and clearly underused mechanic in the game due to how situational it is. I wish they balanced that a little more to create a better incentive for mechanics like this to occur in the game. Even do something with outposts where you can garrison an archer or two and increase it's visual range by +1 or +2
13 - DAUT!
@TheViper - pls put DE in titles, some tips don't work for HD
Question: if a wall is almost destroyed, i.e. 100/900 strong, and you advance to castle age will it be A: 100/1800 or B: 1000/1800 or C: 200/1800?
Or D: 7/10
200/1800
C
Viping laws spirit
Should do a 2v2 where u do #29
so, does ALT to ignore attack work with patrol and attack move? Or only when selecting a unit?
Press ALT, right click a gate when your unit is selected, the unit will go there instead of attacking it. It works for any building. You want to sit under a tower with archers instead of attacking it, just press ALT and right click the tower base. Or it works when you want to attack a unit instead of a building. You want to kill villagers repairing a castle? Press alt and right click the villager. That command ignores the building, so you can actually choose the vils instead of the building.
@@yusufsaid Ok, got it, super useful. Thanks!
Lovely :D
Just made my builds stronger by telling me that about farms
The Hoang strategy is the best way to improve.
OKay, is it just me or did everyone realized that the player name was T-West the whole time XD
