I don't think so... they've been good for so long keep them.. they're a classic. So so happy you're back to AOE2. I personally think you have what it takes to be the next generation GOAT of this game. We believe in you Hera.
I don't think Britons should be nerfed. They don't get Hussar, Paladin, Bloodlines, Bombard Cannon, Siege Onager, or Siege Ram, so if it goes to post-Imp Britons have fewer options. Very easy to out-manoeuvre by cavalry civs. What they're really great at is controlling the game during feudal/castle age, but the entire game can change in castle age if you get hit by a few good mangonel shots. Without Thumb Ring, their extra range seems to be less effective than Ethiopian crossbows in Castle Age imo, until they get Ballistics. Powerspike with Arbs in Imperial is the last hurrah for the Britons in the game, unless you've been patiently trickling out longbows. Warwolf is great tech, but is only good if you're in stable position - won't really get you out of trouble. Cheaper TC is definitely strong, means Britons have one of the strongest Castle Ages in the game, but they're not going to save you against 30 paladins. That's just my opinion. I think as a civ, they already have a lot of weaknesses, so if their strengths get nerfed, a weakness should be buffed. Maybe archery ranges don't produce faster, but they get bloodlines?
Really nice to see that your channel is already doing well after the switch back to AoE. I was afraid that the algo would rek you but it seems like everything is fine
It is often funny how in Hera's videos there are many moments of absolute silence but then you hear just clicking for minutes. I realy like that. It is fun to watch. 11 xD
I been playing aoe since 99, nearly 24 years and it trips me out all the things you, viper and ornlu pick up that i must have missed, if i could send you a 1000 likes for each vid i would
Wheelbarrow meta seems to have evolved. Back in the day experts emphasize wheel in late feud when you have a ring of farms around the TC and maybe another 4 around the mill.
"Winning is not that hard video" really got to me. That strategy comments about winning conditions were really awesome. It would be nice if you made a comment of the winning condition from your point of view in each game.
What is the game settings to have a clean map like yours Hera? I see the forest trees and others so clean.. What game settings should I apply to have a like this!?
Love the content grind! Just started taking AoE more seriously again, and I've been maining Britons as I wanted to solidify my MAA to archers play. After watching your "Winning isn't that hard" video yesterday, I've been trying to think through how to best identify different civs power spikes and match ups in order to improve decision making & strategical goals. Do you have tips on how to improve my ability to identify different civs power spikes and use that information to better identify win conditions?
whenever a civ gets a free upgrade or saves alot of ressources at a certain age, thats a bigt powerspike, look at the civ bonuses to see when that is. Late game powerspikes is about tech tree and unique techs usually. U gotta learn the civs slowly to understand this
Hera u talked about why its a bad idea to go skirms here, delaying their castle timing, but wat happens if they just go skirms anyway. They c ur archer civ and just decide to mass skirms, how do u play against this?
I always get angry at my villagers if they kill extra sheep when I don't need them to. When I notice I'm usually like "Ah you dumb f*" and if I'm frustrated enough I'll delete them.... I would not make a merciful god xD
being that there are 42 civs, the odds of a person picking any one civ is about 2.4%. The odds of you losing are about 100%, so I'd say the odds are about 2.4%
I seen a comment by "AceW94" in the Twitch comments..."I don't think UA-camrs read the twitch chat 11" > Well here I am reading these comments, but not only that I have learnt a few thing by doing so! Although it is hard to keep up with it at times!
I feel like people let Hera get away with sort of just migrating his vills to somewhere else and making TCs. If Monoz had left a few xbow up there his mass would still have been strong enough to the damage that he did, but Hera would have lost another 5 villagers trying to expand with no map control.
I doubt you'll read this, just some feedback regarding content. Its impossible for me to watch POV games from a Pro's perspective. I can't keep up at all. Always looking for casted' type content. Thumbs up
In my opinion Britons should be nerfed by loosing access to halbs...that way they will at least have some weakness to heavy cav/hussar civs (although no thumb ring helps cav civs a bit I think extra range + halbs more than compensates). They seem too powerful in certain matchups at the moment.
Just a suggestion to improve your vids, I think you should reduce the clicking sounds, I.e. clicking units around, creating villagers, and more as when watching Your vids I feel people including myself get stressed over all your clicking (might be because we know we can’t keep up with your apm). It would also make it easier to understand you.
@@johnsmate Are you talking about via sound editing after the fact? Cuz at this point, he's going to hit the keyboards the same way he's been doing it for 2 decades now.
Britons should definitely be nerfed. Imo a good way to do that would be taking mangonels away from them. That way you can counter them better with skirms
this archer meta is sooo boring, i feel like everyone is going either mayans brits or ethiopians every game. i really hope there is a drastic change to archers in the near future.
Britons feel like the best archer civ...do u guys think they should be nerfed?
No!
And Mayans are the best.
Y E S
No Hussar, so not necessary
I don't think so... they've been good for so long keep them.. they're a classic. So so happy you're back to AOE2. I personally think you have what it takes to be the next generation GOAT of this game. We believe in you Hera.
The team bonus is too good in team games. Franks feels replaceable in team games with Huns or other Paladin civs, Briton doesn’t.
Britons should not be nerfed. You should be nerfed.

u had me at they dont get hussar
@@HeraAgeofEmpires2 britons F tier civ confirmed
And with the new indirect archer nerf to Attack Move, they won't be as good as before too.
Warwolf is good as a defensive tech against treb pushes and occasional shots at masses of units.
That post imp fully upgraded longbow with war wolf trebs push is pretty hard to stop especially if your able to like cav raid at the same time
What a boss. It’s the will to win and S-tier speed and strats that makes Hera so good. What a fighter.
Really nice to see that your channel is already doing well after the switch back to AoE. I was afraid that the algo would rek you but it seems like everything is fine
I might be in the minority here, but I think the long UA-cam games are awesome to watch. So much content!
Thank you for giving detailed explanations for your strategy choices!
I watch all your content, so glad you're back. I hope it's forever 😋
full tiem aoe2 for as long as i can see bro
The full game content is a huge plus. The shorts are great too, but its still a lot of fun watching these
I missed these epic full games upload ! Thank you great content
Fantastic game Hera & GREAT to have u back showing us mere plebs how it's done. 😉
Hera's on fire. Great to see the hunger now you're back on the game you love.
It is often funny how in Hera's videos there are many moments of absolute silence but then you hear just clicking for minutes.
I realy like that. It is fun to watch. 11 xD
"that one monk is going in man" " at least he tried"🤣
It's a treat watching you defend, simply awesome play!
I can't think of anyone else who defends like this, except maybe Mbl.
This is some grade A content, I'm very happy youre back!
Both seeing you back in aoe2 and seeing you playing like this makes me so happy!GG man!
Rocking again with AoE2
you seem happy keep doing what you do ^^
Wow, what a phenomenal game, thanks for the upload!
As I told you last time, Britons shouldn’t get nerved. So why would you betray me, bro?! Still love you 😘
Holy crap I’m on a win streak from learning from your videos this game is still so fun
Glad to have you back dude
amazing game! off the charts micro from monoz and you still beat him. this is the kind of classic hera comeback that got me to sub years ago
I been playing aoe since 99, nearly 24 years and it trips me out all the things you, viper and ornlu pick up that i must have missed, if i could send you a 1000 likes for each vid i would
That was brilliant.
one of the best games i have EVER watched. i know for sure u had sweat on your head at the end;)
Wheelbarrow meta seems to have evolved. Back in the day experts emphasize wheel in late feud when you have a ring of farms around the TC and maybe another 4 around the mill.
Wow what a game between the 2 players!
Absolutely SLAMMING game Hera!
"Winning is not that hard video" really got to me. That strategy comments about winning conditions were really awesome. It would be nice if you made a comment of the winning condition from your point of view in each game.
Britons are already good, they don't need anything else ahah
Loving the gameplay content. More please!!! 11
come to twitch man we play alot there!
I like how this game went from a friendly "ok lets see what thios game will be all about" the grindiest of grinds.
Love the Britain my favorite civ
Just subbed and just started playing on console. Wow i am such a noob, going to be a uphill struggle i think!
What is the game settings to have a clean map like yours Hera?

@@HeraAgeofEmpires2 Thanks for the reply and insight!
Hey Hera, have you played the campaigns? I'd like to see you try them, especially the new ones.
You know things are getting serious when Hera goes quiet.
Epic, thanks!
Awesome gameplay man ! 👍 always nice to watch a professional aoe player
Monoz amazing player!
Think the Civ is fine, you are just a beast lol
Great vid but since when did skirm get +1 range with Yeoman?
Masterclass in knowing when to stop pushing, just look scary and macro like crazy
Hera u talked about why its a bad idea to go skirms here, delaying their castle timing, but wat happens if they just go skirms anyway. They c ur archer civ and just decide to mass skirms, how do u play against this?
I see you like Warwolf too!

Just to say im loving this game
definitely a banger, only someone of your skill can come back from that
5:44 how you wall so far away? when i do that the enimy can break it before i walk to rapair it.
i enjoy our micro war legend
that was an epic battle
Killed it.
fellow kripp enjoyer
@@HeraAgeofEmpires2 😂🤣
The Shirivamsha rider should be an interesting match up?
Try Gurjaras vs Britons and invest on scout in feudal?
dude no joke i had the same civ comb + arabia yesterday and was looking for a brit comeback game cos i lost like pleb.
what are the odds?
being that there are 42 civs, the odds of a person picking any one civ is about 2.4%. The odds of you losing are about 100%, so I'd say the odds are about 2.4%
@@Peatopher90 That's rough man 😂😂
how do you make your sword guy kill emeny? they die :(
I actually dream of an OP brits with thumb ring.
lol viewer requests hera do MAA->Archers? Could have not requested anything at all.
Best archer civ
Hera came back to AoE 2? Was the LoL content not successful enough?
come back AOE4 bro miss you
Go Hera gooo
WHO IS THIS MAN? WHO IS MONO? HOW IS HE PLAYING LIKE THIS OUT OF NOWHERE?
gg wp great game
🎉

....it was a BANGER game!
IDK, they are beatable. maybe a small Nerf. but lets not take their identity away.
agree, mostly for TG
I read the twitch chat :)
goddamn man, like, fix the hole

If Monoz had left a few xbow up there his mass would still have been strong enough to the damage that he did, but Hera would have lost another 5 villagers trying to expand with no map control.
I think Britons are perfectly balanced

Is it even fun playing at this speed?
😂😁
Don't mind me. I'm just a jealous noob...
I tried micro while watching. Nerf micro! :)
The britons range bonus should only apply in imperial age. The Castle age range bonus is too strong for that early in the game.
They dont get thumb ring bro...
Lmao, "just cos my MaA accomplished absolutely nothing doesn't mean they were useless"... a few mins later when the xbows arrive....
In my opinion Britons should be nerfed by loosing access to halbs...that way they will at least have some weakness to heavy cav/hussar civs (although no thumb ring helps cav civs a bit I think extra range + halbs more than compensates). They seem too powerful in certain matchups at the moment.
What happens with nerf britons guy?
Idk but i'm glad he aint here, that joke was bad lol
look again
@@dirkauditore8413 wasn't a joke
Nerf BRITONS pls
I knew this would be here 11
Pro gameplay of AoE makes me dizzy... crazy micro and macro and the same time :D
Admit it. The real reason you picked Cavalier is because Britons don't get Hussar :P
Briton’s are sick because you usually have more military, better military, and super complimentary cheap tcs
Hera leading all game long, title "BIGGEST BEST COMEBACK EVER MADE IN AOE HISTORY " xDDD
If anything they should get paladins or bombard cannons. Their cavalry is bad and so is their seige.
Nnnnice
Why didn't he shotel against rams?
Hera already had arbalest tech meaning he could very easily pop out tons of arbs , and shotels are pretty expensive as well.
@@dirkauditore8413 no just create one or two take out RAMS
Just a suggestion to improve your vids, I think you should reduce the clicking sounds, I.e. clicking units around, creating villagers, and more as when watching Your vids I feel people including myself get stressed over all your clicking (might be because we know we can’t keep up with your apm). It would also make it easier to understand you.
Are you suggesting he starts playing in a way that is slower/worse so that you can enjoy the videos more?
yeah i try to lower it as much as i could but its hard
@@a-a-ron3542 I think he means the keyboard mashing, not all are that loud lol
@@johnsmate Are you talking about via sound editing after the fact? Cuz at this point, he's going to hit the keyboards the same way he's been doing it for 2 decades now.
Nah, the cyborg clicking sounds are what should be expected from him
Where comeback?match was all game so close,and i am full agree these Brits should have been nerf for a long time with their stupid bonus range
Stop neefing civs, instead just buff weaker ones
Britons should definitely be nerfed. Imo a good way to do that would be taking mangonels away from them. That way you can counter them better with skirms
Brits are really that good??.....only with Hera
this archer meta is sooo boring, i feel like everyone is going either mayans brits or ethiopians every game. i really hope there is a drastic change to archers in the near future.
I kinda agree with u, I mean i still enjoy the games but archers /knights almost every game feels stale to me
nerf BRITONS pls
NERF Britons! Simple as.
wow hes so good looking make sure to go follow lads n ladies
