Teutonic Knight to Bulgarian Two-Hander: "You merely researched the melee armor. I was trained with it."
"Moulded by it"
Teutonic Knights don't research the armour, the teutonic armour births the knights
@STORM LORD can we be friends?

Now is not the time for walls. That comes later.

Just as good as the "To be frank"
He also said their Navy gets a C. A Sea for navy
"Krepost" means "fortress," and "konnik" quite literally means "horseman".

@zxc zxcv If you don't care, why are you replying? Wow, you are really stupid.

XD.... F
Oh hey, you went back to the old/full length of the intro, I dunno how to explain, but it feels right again haha.
I’m a huge fan. Glad it’s back
16 hours ago how? The video has been up for 3 minutes.
@@kingbred01 nice catch.
@@kingbred01 I think patreons get acces to the video earlier, but Im not 100% certain.
Wait wtf why does your post say 16 hours ago ?

The reason 2020 is going so badly was because SotL videos didn't have a full length intro.
Now that order and law has been restored, all will be well again!
Haha. Yes. It's amazing how satisfying it was compared to his previous DE videos with the shorter intro. :P
I was terrified old intro would never come back!
Order will be restored once he gives us a Huns and Britons Overview. I still have no idea if Tarkans are good, since his Huns overview doesn't use his current standards.
about that....
Please NEVER EVER remove the part where the villager runs up to the car and blows it up at that specific time with the tune! It's so iconic to ur channel in my humble opinion :-) and yeah I'm a sub since u were at 1k subs so I've seen many of ur intros where u cut that part out, glad u left it in tho
I love the spinning female peasant, lovely!!
Damn i'm early
I'm so happy for the full intro again
Spirit of the law is like a quirky math teacher. He likes making corny jokes, is analytical, but also seems like nice company and has good intentions.
Halberdier: kills konnik
Konnik: *_BUENOS DIAS FUCKBOY_*
😂😂😂
@Obi Dark in bulgarian konnik means literally horseman . The bulgarian civilisation is really famous with their horseman because they never give up and their scary af just like the russian horseman
@Obi Dark im sorry but im kinda bulgarian
@@kaloyanivanov7027 Cuz Bulgarian warrior culture was heavily influenced by the Slav
I love this
Damn, cool civilization
Don't worry, more new DE civs overview will come in 2 months...
@@cpt-swampy-07 What!? Is that true?
@@sky1army423 Yes, actually since Lithuanian Overview video about 2 months ago..
@@sky1army423 I think he means new overview videos of the new civs in DE.
Thanks!
I like how even tho the new intro contains definitive edition clips, he kept the important ones such as the villager killing cobra car and the goth game plan :)
Phanboi Chau now that’s what I call “essential”.
Mangonel Rampage and Onager Onslaught are gone, unfortunately
I really love bulgarians, they are my favorite civ. Sadly the lack of eco bonus makes it hard to compete with strong civs on specific maps. Hera even listed them as low tier in his overall tierlist. Broke my heart
I think they're cool too but really not top tier not a great eco and nothing is too op other than the konnik but konnik is enough to make them above average boy do i love konniks
I have never played the game, but bulgarians seem like the thing bulgarians will like. I'm an example, cuz it seems really fun, but I dont like strategy games.
@@vali_bg5234 Would you play this game to play as the Bulgarians, even though you don't like strategy games?
Well Bulgarians are one of the top tier in terms of Win Rate so...... what was that again?
A Bulgarian Two-Handed Swordsman vs most civs champions: "I'm about to end this man's whole career."
Hopefully getting Tatars next. I came to see a Tatars overview when they got recently buffed and realized he hadn’t done it yet 11. Pretty sure Keshiks are one of the most cost efficient UUs now can’t wait to see the calcs
did a little analysis video myself after the buff and 17 keshiks vs 10 paladins the keshiks won with 8 full hp units remaining. 16 vs 10 is probably more equal in terms of resources, but even then the keshiks still win in castle or post imperial age. except vs halberdiers and maybe heavy/imperial camels, keshiks trade into almost any unit and come out on top in resources.
keshisk have been this crazy since december when the resources were reduced. the train time reduction helps a lot for making them a castle age viable unit. imperial it isn't as crazy.
edit: and i just tried 13 FU elite keshisk vs 10 FU generic heavy camels. which is about equal resources. only two camels survived with a combined total of 112 hp. the keshiks generated 64 gold in the engagement. basically making the resource trade even.
ill be honest, i played a tatars deathmatch game just to test them, and their hca are so good and steppe lancers feel so OP
@Arielle Fenix very true. their trebs are top tier especially with the extra hill bonus dmg plus flaming camels help defend against all cavalry!
Jimmeh Boy not surprised to see this, I’ve been streamrolling pretty hard by starting out with CA until I have maybe 30 FU, by then I usually have a castle or two up then do a switch to keshiks as the cost efficient meatshield. The 700f 900g Elite keshik upgrade isn’t that much more than getting hussar and with their cheap cost it’s sick. I’m only 1100 so maybe this won’t work as well at higher levels but damn does it feel strong
Jimmeh Boy id be interested to see them in a matchup vs elephants, usually seems impossible to take a good fight against them massed up. I don’t expect keshiks to do particularly well but i could be wrong
YEAHHHH! thanks for the intro, it just feels right this way.
Just the video I was looking for to get me through another day of quarantine! Thanks bro for your awesome content as always!
Thank you for putting the full intro in to the video, I loved your intro since I found you! Thank you so much!!
Castle: exist
Krepost: I'm gonna end this building's whole career
What career???
*jumps backward in rap battle fans*
Finally, we have an overview of the Bulgarians, this is a great civ
hi neighbor
@@PifchoBG hello
yeah the full sized intro’s back!
SOTL again with a fantastic video. Thank you again for everything you've done for our community man!
Thanks. I came across your videos recently and was really impressed. Nice to see a new content creator in the community. Keep it up!
@@SpiritOfTheLaw Thank you from a fellow Canadian - cheers!
Hey spirit! love your videos! it's one of those things that keep me happy during quarantine. In the craziness of these days it really helps, thanks for the hard work and keep making videos forever ....
Your new videos always bring me joy, even in the worst situations, keep up the good work. You are awesome!
can you maybe add a sort of "weak against, good against, good with" segment at the end of the video? like for example these are bad against teutons and work well with spanish cause they seem kind of reliant on gold units. that would be pretty cool
Brilliant idea
I feel like he would have to make too many assumptions for it to work (map type, enemy cover strategy, etc).
Wayyy too many variables to ever say this civ is always good against that one, really..
Theres a reason pro players will usually answer 'it depends' if asked such a question while streaming :)
@@MrDiehardNoob yeah but i think in this case for example theyd seem to have a pretty bad match against Teutons for example, cause those counter pretty much everything they can muster exept for the cav archers, but even those can be countered with siege or just slowpushing with castles.
@@Phoenix-zu6on thats the thing you can always think of more excepts ifs and buts :) at most levels of gameplay any civ has options to beat any civ
I really like the Krepost it looks so cute and cozy
😂😂😂
I'm a new player and really enjoy watching your vids. This civ review is amazing. Would love to see more of these for all the other civs!
I am glad you made this video! Just to add a Little detail: The Bulgarians got Heresy as well, so the Konnik's horse can take a "bullet" for them!
Thank you SO MUCH fo going back to using the full intro song. It's the only intro on a UA-cam show that I watch through every time and the banger is a large part of that.
0:56 caught me off guard hard lmao
Konniks be like
"Were you killed?"
"Yes... BUT I LIVED!!!"
I was just watching some old Spirit of the Law videos and lo and behold there's a new one. You have had consistently great content for a long time.
TY!! Ive been patiently waiting for this vid!!!
Great stuff!
Exactly what I was waiting for. Thanks a lot!
Oooh, another Spirit video! Thanks for the content. I hope you and everyone else reading this is staying safe.
Excellent video!
Just one thing about when you mention Bagains tech's cost: don't forget you already got militia line upgrades automatically, so when talking about costs, probably could have made a cost comparison to all the upgrades(I know you mentioned earlier in the video, but you didn't put them side by side later on) so while the cost of Bagains is a drawback, I believe it would be offset by the militia line upgrade costs.
I am currently going over all the civilizations, and this was very informative.
I was just waiting for this one! Drush was so fun with them
YEAAAAAAAAAAAAH I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS VIDEO SINCE I BOUGHT DE!!
Also god damn archers, I always end up trying to sneak a few light cav around to get to them
Imagine only being able to make more than 2 TC in Castle Age.
This post was made by the mining Stone in Dark Age gang.
same
With their free Militia line upgrades, you can also use those savings to have a 5 Man-at-Arms rush at the cost of an extra 20 food in comparison for a generic 3 Man-at-Arms rush, further closing the gap when facing civs with early economy bonuses. Maybe also send a few Villagers forward to drop one tower, go back home, and still have the stone for one Town Center.
DauTs favourite civ with free man at arms and Kreposts...
Which he fails to get up or loses so many vills getting it up!
FeelsDauTMan
In all serious. I love Bulgarians. And all hail King DauT
Princess DauT
it's nice to see the full intro again :)
First off, the old lenght intro is back and it's awesome.
Secondly, great overview of the Bulgarians. I love how their gameplay style for defenses is so different and unique one might actually think they're playing another game other then Age of Empires II. At least that was my impression watching your video.
Yessss, the opening theme length that I desire
1: See the "Goth Game Plan" in the intro
2: Pre-2020 flashbacks
3: *cries*
no matter how many times i see it, it always gets me every time.
they still have ridiculous infrantry discounts and the huge boost to the barracks work rate?
I was waiting for this one!
Since I bought DE I really liked them because of half castles and free militia line upgrades.
Thanks for video, that was the best 15 minutes of my day.
For guy who played this game religiously since it launched in the late 90's, i wouldn't have imagined that i would learn anything new by now, but you man showed me that there is alot of things that i didn't realize were there, so i respect you for that and love what you are doing.
Also on side note would you be interested in making a video about "unit queue" or the limit of commands that you could give for perhaps a villager and a military unit.
It's good to see you uploading in such dire times, Spirit.
He's got spirit
0:56 I hope microsoft doesn't build skynet with robots dodging everything we throw at them
50% of 60 seconds is 30 seconds. 60 - 30 = 30. Why 40?
Great video! By the way konnik is pronounced with a second n after the first(kon nik but without a pause) :) native Bulgarian here
If the blacksmiths are working 50% faster, it means they do 1.5 seconds of work in every second. Therefore it takes them 40 seconds to do 60 seconds of work, as 40 x 1.5 = 60.
@@SpiritOfTheLaw Makes sense. It's not written "for half the time", I get it now.
Another new intro YEEES Nice work my dude
THANK YOU!!! THE FULL INTRO!!! I'm CRYING.
Whoop, new spirit vid, time to stop what I'm doing
Thank you for taking an in-depth look into the Bulgarians, because today I learned that Bagains is an underrated technology.
We love the full length intro! Great!
Not full
Мерси мой, много ти харесвам канала. Blagodarya!
the intro looks awesome !
Great work on intro!
Did you know that in the mac version of the game the Konnik is named the Ikonnik?
These guys are quickly becoming one of my favorite civs. Which says a lot since I generally prefer the classic AoE2 civs
Top content and memes on point once more! Thanks a lot!
Was dying for this❤
Finally got my Dad on Steam and we've been playing AoE 2 DE during quaranteen. He hasn't played since the original Age of Conquerors so I'm often explaining to him the new strategies, maps and civs, trying to get him to sub to your channel to help him get caught up.
All that being said it's still just fun to be playing with (or against) him again after 15 years.
Wholesome.
Great timing, Spirit of the Law. My most recent game on AOE2 was against a Bulgarian player. I rushed early with man at arms and archers. Against any other civ, I would have won. But I ended up losing, because the Bulgarian player managed to build cheap Kreposts covering all the map resources. And I had trouble countering his Konniks. It seems like my camels were good against the cav unit, but then when it dies it spawns an infantry man which was really hard to deal with. Seems like this video was just the thing I needed!
wow tanks for the info XD can you do an updated one on the franks ? that would be awesome
Yay, the intro is back to its normal length!
I'm late, but I'll leave a comment and a like to celebrate the return of the full intro.
0:56 that villager girl dances and dodges the arrows mockingly.
The full-length intro music returned :D
Not full length
Finally after all these day new civ review
Lovely intro in DE! Finally!
Ps FF: Koń/Konj/коњ means Horse. Konik/Konnik means Small horse/Horseman. Konnica/Konjica/коњица means Cavalry. In many EuroEastern and/or Slavic nations.
I don't know why, but I really like that Teutonic Knight meme.
yess the intro is back!!!
Its my favorite Civ, mostly because I can use my two favorite units: Twi Handed Swordsman and Husars.
That said, I play non-ranked, and I am not good at all, so my playstyle is not really competitive, but in casual setups an army of Bulgarian Two handed Swordsmen and Husars can hold up pretty good against the paladins^^
4:15 The supahotfire reference hahaha nice video!
When I started watching this, I first thought "wait, didn't I see this already?" After the general overviews for DE, the history comparison for the Bulgars, and features on the Konnik and Krepost, it felt a bit familiar. :D
They seem a good for to me. I like halbs, cavs and cav archers.
SOTL videos make my day
THE RETURN OF THE INTRO!!!
Man at Arms upgrade doesn't cost 100 food 45 gold.
It's 100 food 40 gold!
Yes, but you forgot the tip. ;)
Lol
@@RMOB good one
@@RMOB well, SOTL's favorite Civ is Japanese and they don't tip, so . . . 😁
Me:
Picks Bulgarians
Builds kreposts everywhere
Refuses to elaborate further
Resigns
As a casual player I love Bulgarians! I love the extra building to make my towns look pretty. :D
I don't play AoE 2 i just watch because i enjoy your voice and your content
YESSSSS BACK TO THE FULL INTRO
Hello Spirit of the Law!
Really like these kinds of videos.
Can we get an updated video for the Bulgarians?
It has been several years and they have some solid changes that would be good to be mentioned in a video.
Thank you and wish you good health!
They added the siege tech discount which is very useful.
The old intro is pure art. Thanks for uploading these videos!
YAY! full length intro!
This isn't full
Hi SOTL. Nice video as always. Can you do a video on how much more units (same units with same upgrades) you need to win while fighting uphill. Will it be 25%+25% or 25%x25% or something in between?
Yaay, a new video :D
Hey. I'm a low Elo player and Bulgarians are my new favorite civ. They are very flexible which is useful if you get countered (some men at arms kills the pikemen my opponent makes when he realizes I'm going for knight rush). Moreover I like the fact that building a defensive tower to counter early rushes doesn't prevent me to build an another TC right after advancing. I think it's a good civ for beginners
I knew I was about to hear the intro 😎
Nice, another review :D
Sometimes I wish the game would have more Civs. Weirdly I think that only because I want to see more of your Overviews.
Hurray. Finally a Civ Review!
@SpiritOfTheLaw: Is there a site where you have table for quick lookup; a table containing your ratings for each civilization? Thanks in advance.
Halberdier: I just take out a calvary.
Konnik: You fool. That's not even my final form.
Thanks Jean Paul
