God this reminds me of when I was 10 playing this game and not being smart enough to turn the map bigger with Arena while being with 7 AI. Nostalgia hit me hard with this one.
I loved tiny area maps. Trying to make the best of the chaotic situation was a lot of fun, especially when there were stone walls. I played it regicide too often, so there were castles in the mix.
When you were talking about Strode being the favorite, and he fucked up the deer lure, I lost it. You do that every time. What you oughtta do is host a pro forest nothing ffa tournament. 64 players, 8 winners in the first round, and a final showdown that is weeks later. Give everyone 20$ for having to play in a forest nothing game, and have almost all the prize pool be in the final.
Ian just letting his army get slaughtered by Snubi without fighting back in the slightest just made me rage. He probably could have taken Snubi's army at first, but then just wasted the chance.
I used to play a map like this all the time, back in AoE II The Conquerors. I would pick Arena, 4v4 (or 2v2v2v2) and make it a tiny map with teams not together. Would give hilarious results with the AI not always sure how to play the map. To give my team a handicap, I would put my allied AI's as Korean, as for some reason the AI wouldn't evolve passed the Castle Age on them (at least 92% of the time). They were some fun DM maps.
38:34 "So initially it wood have been king of the hill and there wood be a monument in the middle and that wood have taken away the wood and that wood suck to have such little wood. Wood I just shut up about the wood already? It's like I'm getting wood thinking about how the wood wood be." -T90
Interviews with voice changers or with text-only (and text-to-speech) could work, honestly. And using one of those images showing a a shadowy figure recorded in the dark behind a screen with a single light source behind the person being recorded, would make it all seem all the more legit, even if it's not the person in cause. Just an animated loop on repeat, you know? Would make it all the more fun. Please convince the devs to let the gamers give away units to other players. Would make the multiplayer a lot more interesting.

I randomly stumbled into a game like this. Was in the lobby and joined an 8 man FFA. Turned out it was being streamed on Twitch, and they'd made these kinds of mental settings. Got rushed and smashed, just trying to hold out in the beginning with everything being lamed. Was a surprise, but it seems a fun thing to do every now and then.
idea for hidden cup; have the winning name from the last show up as a "returning champion" for the next. idk if its just me but i find the thought funny of a completely different person being marked as the previous champion due to their name.
Tiny Arena 8 player is even better - stone walls make expanding require some more...creativity (or dedication) and the whole map is surrounded by wood so there's even less space. Wall overlap becomes insane. Highly recommend.
You should recruit 8 noobs to compete each-other. I haven't played in like 20 years and am pretty surprised about how complex gameplay has become. Perhaps noobs could have interesting gameplay.
Chose to root for Green at the very start because I like Teutons. Instantly felt good about my choice when he deleted his wall to free the birbs. What a saint.
I have found best way to counter war phants is monks. Legit no joke they are so slow if you have plenty of monks you can convert a whole army of war phants.
not sure why grey did not go for like 10 to 15 monks. Convert 10 to 15 elephants. Then 30 seconds later can do it all again. With the camels it could have worked.
Imagine this settings with sudden death game mode, now that wouldve been prime time entertainment. This is talkshow on primetime, enjoyable, watchable, but not "The Thing"
this map would feel extra cramped in star wars galactic battlegrounds, the star wars version of AoEII that not enough people talk about, as most units are ranged in that game.
one of the reasons i dont like age 4, you cant do stuff like this. if you select 2 player map, 2 players is the arbitrary max. the sandbox and fun is dead in IV.
well the pathfinding still horrible in this game, i find times when villagers bodyblocking each others until you move them in a different position( my longest wait time is 20 min after that i gave up and moved the unit). this should be fixed :/

This is a pretty accurate depiction of the wars to consolidate the Prussian Empire.
I too remember when Bismark led an army of war elephants against the French camel corp

EU4 border gore, but in AOE2
Facts!
Green is a beast, calmly ageing up while most of the others are post-imp and some already resigned
Green is my personal hero of the day. Almost killed off early/mid and he still hung on as long as he could. Never give up.
@@HighFrictionZone Never surrender.
Never castle until everyone else was nearly dead.
Winning strat.
Oh man i can hear viper: "vat is this?!" 😂
Lmfaoooo vaaaaat
zis is the hideout! But smallaah...
In the teal, we have me, playing as the Burgundians. 'Twas a fun one.
'Twas a good show. 50:56 Spot the Revolution lol
yea, wth were you doing just walking up to the kipcheks and not attacking?
PogU!
You should've saved the milita for the elephants :pp and produced them after going rev
At least you weren't in the next game with snippy.
Guess this will be a 55 minute toilet break at work.
I respect it.
That's some level of constipation.
T90: "We have secret maps coming for HC and you're not allowed to see that."
Also T90: *uploads it to RUclips*
What
@@HaloNeInTheDark27 it's at the end of the video
Are those the maps up the top? Mudflow, Bypass, Calamare, Quarry?
@@celluskh6009 No clue, I don't play Aoe2 I only watch T90. I assume it is since these names don't really sound like map names I heard before.
I love how red was named Lumberjack and he started with no sheep
Do tiny island with 8 players.
So the map generator chose death.
Classic.
53:12 now I'm dreaming of a age of empires TAS where that is the sole way villagers move.

What do I call this small group of trees?
A copse? a grove? a wood? a grove? a small forest?
T90: A nugget.
You said "grove" twice.
"I like groves."
50:05 "It wasn't one of the closest games"
definitely, they were VERY CLOSE
Perfect timing, needed something to wind down before bed
>wind down before bed
You got to watch it in the bed while trying to sleep, like the way it's intended.
Same

Good night 👑

any1 else getting nervous on accounts of the missing mini map?
so glad it appeared around 0:50

Do tiny chaos pit, 8 players, 256x tech. Just melt everybody's brains.
deathmatch
So this is how we're going to do the next round of hidden cup qualifiers, right? Please?

I want a framed picture of that mini-map on my wall
It's not bugged out, it's bugged in.
"I tell you, they're fighting for top 3"
Laughs in orange rams and elephants.

Ian wasted his Flemish militia, he could've flattened orange by amassing a large army of them
I guess if the wood runs out, Crop Rotation and Hussar become the most important technologies, both of which Persians have.
Still no option to make the chat visible. it's by far the most fun part of community games and Iv'e no respect for the devs for not including it.

41:04 Didn't have to wait that long at all lol.
usually i don't like really weird maps, but this one actually makes me want to play it LOL
Post match interview in hidden cup
- Any thoughts on the match?
- I eat TC
Yes, tiny maps always are ridiculously funny
Tiny 8 player regicide fortress was something I've had a lot of fun with in my time.
What a strange map generation ! 👀😲
It sounded like T90 was about to choke on his coffee !!! 😝☕
53:07 BEYBLADE BEYBLADE LET IT RIP!!!!
53:05 ahh yes. here we observe the mating ritual of the wild ai villager in it's natural habitat
Hidden cup 4 names --> Disney Princesses.. ( you're welcome ) 😏😏
I am a bad player, so I really shouldn't judge, but watching Teal attack lumber camps while his army gets decimated for free was maddening 30:55
5:25 Blue would be the winner if he fully scouted that corner. Too bad, he didn't and Orange got there first.
I came for the plot.
Stayed for the story.
well you stayed what you came for.

Tiny Hideout/Arena tourny!
Tiny Islands or Tiny Texas, maybe even Tiny Forest Nothing
9:02 "I like how these boars are safe" one has half HP lol
Tiny Team Islands would be nuts.
Socotra tiny next time.
Obvious point to the amazing matches aside, I think the best part of the tourney is watching the tin-foil conspiracy logic to figure out who's who.
This map is giving me too much stress for how stressful of a day I had so I will have to watch the rest of this later
I have found best way to counter war phants is monks. Legit no joke they are so slow if you have plenty of monks you can convert a whole army of war phants.
I've hoped 8 player Bay would have four little bays.
Great job by Orange surviving all the threats in the mid game.
not sure why grey did not go for like 10 to 15 monks. Convert 10 to 15 elephants. Then 30 seconds later can do it all again. With the camels it could have worked.
How much did Frederick Barbarossa weigh?
Teutons.
Capture Age makes this so much better.
We live in a damn society.
Socotra would be a even tinier map on tiny with 8 players!
Hey I am in game and Commie Games are back on the YT menu!

Ah the Legend! It was a pleasure to watch you play this well when you finally decided to open up your coffers! 😛

Hidden Cup 4 : Just imagine the mind game "Sunday 3 am -5 am - 7 am"...and then it is...
1:24 Bruh, already hoping my boy Errimo wins!!!
What have I done?!
Reminds me of the scene in event horizon where people start spawning inside walls
The reason they couldn't see the minimap in the beginning is that the minimap and the map were one and the same.

Oh god

Should do a videogames/fantasy heroes theme if you run out of recognisable historical ones
No one expects the flemmish inquisition!
It's not about the size of the woods, but how you use it.
Small maps always glitch out with many players and the game needs a lot of code to fix this.
This map looks like a nightmare to play on tiny.
Teal hurting me with the management of the coustilliere :'(
Forest nothing on tiny 👍
wanna play this game soo bad, but i'm broke and my laptop can only run HD i think

Wow.persian power .GJ elephants
the mini map is amazing!
id love to see a community game where not the last man standing wins but the one with the most kills
Looks like an inverted Black Forest
This could have been Legend of Snubi if he held with the Kipchaks...
How do you have negative dislikes? I mean. You should have negative dislikes, but how?
