I love how the title of "slowest player alive" kind of implies that there may have been a slower player than him, but he's dead and no one knows who he was
"slowest player alive" my dad plays campaigns on easy difficulty and spends hours and hours building a pretty base and converting the enemy troops to bypass the pop limit 😭
Nice Video, as RTS player I know a lot of people hate early game strats but I think it is also part of the game and what you played is on a high level and you have my respect for playing such a good game ggs
Your editing and commentary is really good. The fact that you speed up between slow parts of the game really separates you from a lot of the other aoe2 commentators I’ve seen
That's quite a cool strat, sir. GG and congrats! I don't think this will go much further as this relies on the opponents (lack of) scouting, but it's good to know you went so far with it.
i think this format for videos can do well in the AOE space. Maybe you need to find a better titling theme to get people in the door. But you are onto something. Very interesting video. Enjoyed!
That's why AOE 2 is a great game. Even though a big part of the game is mechanics, strategy is still extremely important and you can win games only based on that. It's a nice balance between mechanic skill and strategy.
I mean it's good and bad. Rushes are pretty low skill strategies that often will get you far because of how hectic it gets to defend a rush in AOE. I used to play macro centered games and I just got wrecked all the time. Nowadays I'm still as bad but with 800 more elo because I just rush every game. At low/mid elo, rushes are insanely overpowered in AOE.
I remember a time when towers was meta with vivi OP. I would play hd after a long day of work just to see my ennemi tower rush me into rage quit. Thanks mr. Slow to bring back these memories in DE 😂😂
I so much love all these various strats, I got so border archer/scout rushes damn it is boring. I'm a great fan of phosphoru FC, Hoand DR and FC combinations etc :) Just keep on!
THIS IS WHY I LOVE AND HATE THIS GAME. If i try to have fun, i lose, if i get sweaty and min/max everything and learn the build orders, I start winning. I just want to play without thinking about all the numbers
you lose with "having fun" strats at sweaty level, it's expected, just play for fun and you will reach the elo level that matches your favorite style. As an option - have two accounts: one to play just for fun, and the other for cyber sportsmanship :D
@@MrPlannerAoEOh I definitely do, whenever i climb too much I purposely lose games and play out of random just enjoying the game. Then when I am low enough I can climb back up playing how I want 🤷♂️
Whats your apm? I have 15 eapm average (according to aoe2insights, max I ever got is 18) only 1300 elo but never see as slow players as myself at that elo. I only ever go full all in 1tc knights rush, not being able to micro units while booming and prefering to focus on keeping my tc running (never more than 30 sec idle time in a game)
Before Incas were nerfed, ie vills were impacted by blacksmith immediately (not having to wait for castle age) plus house population bonus (like a wood bonus) and stone bonus, Tower strategy was very hard to beat. Worst case "boxing" matches with strong vills in feudal age.
Great video. Would staying in feudal and committing to going scouts counter this? Castle age didn't do much for your opponent. 10 fully upgraded scouts would have been devastating at 15-20 min game time when he clicked up especially with some archers.
No just build a counter tower when you hit feudal and you have more vills to keep yours up. Tower dmg and health is pathetic so they go down easy and quick and cannot be denied by their tower
For me, as someone who nearly spends his whole time in 4v4 BF no Rush unranked lobbies - I hated that playstyle so much.😅 Now i want to improve my 1v1, learned one Build order but still sucked. I will try your Style, because i think it is actually really fun. It seems like the Perfect strat for me, cause i Just want to play a bit without sweating too much and enjoy the Game. Thats the reason i also dont like watching pro games. Seems boring for me. Low elo legends are so much More fun to watch and play😂
I really don't understand any of Red's decision making here. If he's 1700 then the only explanation I can think of for why this is working is that sheer panic is making people forget all the basics. But like, standard response to a tower rush is (a) abandon whatever plan you had (b) go to stone with 4-5 vills immediately (c) counter tower in front of your res to cauterize the daisy chain and keep res safe (d) keep your towers up (e) counter attack (f) vill rush any ungarissoned towers if opponent vills move too far away (g) move to new minerals asap. He did exactly not a single one of those things. He goes to stone extremely late with only 1 vil. He builds a tower BEHIND his gold. He doesn't defend it and it just straight up gets shot down which should never happen. He doesn't counter attack. He rushes daisy chained garissoned towers with vills. He doesn't find new gold until late but puts everyone on wood instead and then starts adding a bunch of farms??? Everything he did here is just completely wrong. One thing about this that does synergise well is the fletchling for the towers works for the mangadai eventually. But other than that and just creating panic, I don't understand this strat.
Interesting video. Doesnt it mean this strategy is bad though if as a 2k player you only get to 1700 with it? Kinda like how fast castle boom in their face works really well until about 14/1500 but after that it sucks unless you wall
I got to 1700 on my "MrSlow" account where I play with 20 eAPM or less..I was sort of stuck at 1600 playing meta, but the tower rush seems to be quite effective at that ELO.
Can you do a one tc push with knights, siege, castles? Apparently that's my favourite strategy. I mean not like Hoang but where you keep pumping out villagers from that one tc continuously.
From my experience, that doesn't work that well at higher elo, mostly because everyone walls.. if they see you're going all in, they get a castle up asap and then ur push cant do anything anymore.
@@MrPlannerAoE I'm trying to learn the game. Your videos are super helpful. Regarding the 1 TC all-in push, what if the opponent floods your base with 20-30 knights? Will a castle and your tcs and monks enough to stop this without taking too much damage?
@@PrasenjeetKumarAuthor If the enemy isn't walled, a knight raid is great. But if he's walled and doesn't let u in, then it isn't worth it. And a castle is really strong in castle age and can stop most units, knights included.
it would have been hilarious if he had put a mining camp on your main gold to the left of your base 11 either way it's supper frustrating to die to a strat like this.
I do this with Georgians and its much better with mule cart. Got to 1600 easy Saying it works with mongols undersells the trush strategy imo. And i know Teutons can counter this
There's def. other civs that are good at this strat. Probably even better as u say. I just like mongols because of the fast up time. And also, I do not own Georgians DLC yet 11
@MrPlannerAoE ah that's fair Also Georgians actually get better towers the longer the game goes on And monaspa is the only heavy cavalry UU that's not a camel that can chase mangudai
@@MrPlannerAoE Well, obviously, "10x" is not true in the literal sense. But according to Aoe2Insights, my EAPM often sits comfortably in the single digits, so yes - way slower than you. But then again, I'm only 950 elo as well.
Here's how I never died to a tower rush - When I see them tower rush, get 2 barracks all in producing MaA (stop making vils if you have to, market abuse, just make a bunch of MaA), don't attack until you have at least 10-15. Your eco will suck, but theirs will be worse and the towers will be gone.
I thought the same. Maybe better all in scouts with all upgrades and you can defend and raid their poor eco. For sure I would not do archers, if you are getting tower rushed you need a unit that can defend and attack quick and good.
@@MrPlannerAoE Wouldn't it be better to just go attack you instead of defending? Since there isn't much a person can do against 5 or 6 towers in feudal, rushing MrSlows base sounds like the best idea 1111
Yeah this is busted, I could barely beat hard AI yesterday because of its macro economy and mass units. Just beat both harder and extreme AI with little difficulty. Time to test in multiplayer now. My fastest feudal is 8 minutes but I reckon I can push that even lower.
I tried, it doesn't work. I am 1200 ELO and I get defeated to other 1200 ELOs every time. It may work if you are a pro and playing against 500 ELO lower players, and yes it doesn't require micro much. But similar skill players can counter tower rush every time. They just to a few defensive towers, a few archers, and go up to castle age earlier than me.
I think u might be doing some mistakes then. I played "normal" strategies, and I was losing half the games against 1600+ players. I haven't lost once doing tower rush.
@@MrPlannerAoE I am doing a lot of mistakes lol. Did I tell you I am 1200 ELO? :) I am very slow too, so I thought this strat might work for me. I can get the towers up early, but opponent counters it with textbook trush counter. They make one or two towers, 4 archers, and go up to castle age earlier. They have a mangonel out and my dreams of dropping forward castle is in the trash bin. I go back make defensive castle, then it is a standard castle age game where I have a massive eco disadvantage. My problem is that once I start making towers, I cannot check my base as often as my opponent does. So I keep forgetting making vils, making farms, etc. Cannot do any damage as well, so I lose. In your case it works since you are playing against a lot lower ELO players. You make less APM but still better at implementing the strat, checking back your eco, splitting your vils to sneakily tower opponent eco everywhere. That is just a lot for me to do.
@MrPlannerAoE BTW I do a lot better at all in attack startegies. Normal strats, I am 1000-1100 ELO at best. All in Cuman archer-ram rush, or all in Hoang type siege-knight push I can go up to 1300 ELO. Because once I start attacking I don't have to check my eco as often, which I can't do anyway.
It's just a joke. It's a second account I have where I intentionally play slow (called MrSlow) to show that strategy is also an important factor of the game and that you don't need high eAPM to be a good player. On my account im 2100, on MrSlow im now 1700+.
"it's a wide open base, it was hard to wall" - proceeds by showing the easiest map to wall ever :D sorry no hate but I had to. just wall top woodline to tc and then left wall side and ur all set:)
It's a second account that I have, where I intetionally play slower (under 20 eAPM). It's explained in this video - ua-cam.com/video/ojgPaRa44Ak/v-deo.html
MrSlow is the name of my 2nd account, where I intentionally play slow to focus more on the strategy part of the game and to show people, that slow players can get pretty good at the game as well.
Your current gameplay strategy is a poor one, designed merely to inflate your ego and create a false sense of dominance. In truth, you lack a solid strategy, micro, or macro game. Your gameplay consists solely of building a disgusting ring of towers around the weakest part of the map. It's truly repulsive.
that's why this game is irritating. I want to like it but online play just encourages rage tactics. I feel like if it was designed better, fights would play out like actual medieval battles, rather than weird alternate realities
@@Rare.99 I like the fact that all these strategies are possible. But I understand you... I think if u want to avoid that, you need to play specific maps/settings.
Shit like this is why i quitt aoe. I know some people think it’s “cool and fun” to have alternative strategies. Imho it’s just super selfish to play like this because ypu wrap the game entirely around yourself and foce the other person to adjust to something that abuses not a lack of skill but rather a lack of understanding of the strategy. No love sorry
@@MrPlannerAoE it’s not about wanting to beat your opponent. Sure winning is part of it but for 99% of people this game is also meant to be fun. This “strategy” only works because people lack experience against it. At higher levels it’s considered a meme. And the average player dosen’t have the time to learn how to deal with nonsense like this. Learning the ins and abouts of how to play meta is more than enough to learn. And It’s simply frustrating for most people to be dragged into your arena. I ve never felt any good about playing against it. Even when i manage to beat it.
@@David-tr6xeI guess I can understand that. But then some ppl like me wouldnt have as much fun playing "meta" all the time. I love facing guys like Hoang, JonSlow, etc. that spice up the game.
@@MrPlannerAoE well maybe the perspective changes when you play more. I ve only played like 150 ranked game and hit 1500s. Felt so frustrating every time i faced those weird strategies cuz i didn’t know what exactly was the right counter play and didn’t feel like i was loosing to a better player just to a lack of understanding

@@jackjman5577 Towers got nerfed?
I don't get it, why slowest player alive?
It's just a joke. It's a second account I have where I intentionally play slow (called MrSlow) to show that strategy is also an important factor of the game and that you don't need high eAPM to be a good player. On my account im 2100, on MrSlow im now 1700+.
Why do I feel you are somewhere from eastern Europe 😆
Did my accent give it away? :O
@@MrPlannerAoE not so much. Just my DayZ sensors light up when I feel it might be
"it's a wide open base, it was hard to wall" - proceeds by showing the easiest map to wall ever :D sorry no hate but I had to. just wall top woodline to tc and then left wall side and ur all set:)
True, not sure why I said that 11
Why do you say you're slow? You don't seem slow
It's a second account that I have, where I intetionally play slower (under 20 eAPM). It's explained in this video - ua-cam.com/video/ojgPaRa44Ak/v-deo.html
That's a rhino not a boar😂
I'm so used to only seeing boars from the old days, I call elephants/rhinos boars as well. 😅
Yeah I thought maybe that was why u were calling it a boar😁 btw great play boss👍
@@gelstube4614 Thanks!
Why exactly are you called mister slow? You play like anyone else
MrSlow is the name of my 2nd account, where I intentionally play slow to focus more on the strategy part of the game and to show people, that slow players can get pretty good at the game as well.
Ok
i thought this was like some APM limit challenge but no. disappointed.
It is in a way. I keep the eAPM under 20.
I'd quit rather than play someone who tower rushes like this, so you'd take my elo
Exactly bruh. Everytime someone tries to persian tc drop me, I just say good luck, have fun.
@@shaswataman I wouldn't equal persian douche with this rush, but I understand.
Its ugly yes... But its a strategy unfortunately
But it's beautiful on the inside!
What a shit show😂
Your current gameplay strategy is a poor one, designed merely to inflate your ego and create a false sense of dominance. In truth, you lack a solid strategy, micro, or macro game. Your gameplay consists solely of building a disgusting ring of towers around the weakest part of the map. It's truly repulsive.
Wow, thats harsh. 11
that's why this game is irritating. I want to like it but online play just encourages rage tactics. I feel like if it was designed better, fights would play out like actual medieval battles, rather than weird alternate realities
@@Rare.99 I like the fact that all these strategies are possible. But I understand you... I think if u want to avoid that, you need to play specific maps/settings.
Shit like this is why i quitt aoe. I know some people think it’s “cool and fun” to have alternative strategies. Imho it’s just super selfish to play like this because ypu wrap the game entirely around yourself and foce the other person to adjust to something that abuses not a lack of skill but rather a lack of understanding of the strategy. No love sorry
But this is a strategy game... And tower rush is just part of it. I don't know how one can be selfish in a 1v1. Ofc you want to beat your opponent.
@@MrPlannerAoE it’s not about wanting to beat your opponent. Sure winning is part of it but for 99% of people this game is also meant to be fun. This “strategy” only works because people lack experience against it. At higher levels it’s considered a meme. And the average player dosen’t have the time to learn how to deal with nonsense like this. Learning the ins and abouts of how to play meta is more than enough to learn.
And It’s simply frustrating for most people to be dragged into your arena. I ve never felt any good about playing against it. Even when i manage to beat it.
@@David-tr6xeI guess I can understand that. But then some ppl like me wouldnt have as much fun playing "meta" all the time. I love facing guys like Hoang, JonSlow, etc. that spice up the game.
@@MrPlannerAoE well maybe the perspective changes when you play more. I ve only played like 150 ranked game and hit 1500s. Felt so frustrating every time i faced those weird strategies cuz i didn’t know what exactly was the right counter play and didn’t feel like i was loosing to a better player just to a lack of understanding
me when someone uses strategy in my micro management game😡
the only real issue I see is smurfing
