"With Poles you basically make tons of knights until tons of knights doesn't work anymore" is the best and the most biting summary of the entirety of Polish history I have ever heard. :D
i had to pause to say this about Ibex - just a few days ago i saw some old Who wants to be a millionaire episode where literally the question was: Ibex is a type of... deer, goat, and some other options. Ibex is a goat!
21:42 Easy way: sword strikes through the window and knocks over a candle or lamp. Said strike sparks so the lamp or candle is lit. Fire insues and eventually starts a fire on the roof from the inside out.
@@aka0989 When you go into Hotkeys tab in the settings, select Game Commands from the list on the left, and around in the middle of the hotkey list in the centre, where are Select all... hotkeys, one of them is Select all Idle Land/Naval Military Units ^^ I also use Select all Idle Villagers, so I don't have to select them individually, or look where they are, keeping my camera where I want to send them
As a pole against the byzantines, you must use Obuchs a lot. Cheap polish knights or winged hussars are no match for byzantine halbs or cataprachts. You really need obuchs to take those fights.
In my experience, pole winged hussar actually do a decent job vs cataphract. They don't trade resource efficiently, of course, but you can spam a lot of hussar to take down the cataphracts
@@skipper472 agreed, the few times his hussars had decent numbers they did good, even against knights. Blue could benefit from watching sotl's video about the marshall square law
It ain't just the fact red wasn't losing units - red also made ranged units that shredded half blue's troops before they reached melee, while blue only made melee units and trebs. On a situation like that, trickling down your units directly into red's meat grinder of arbalests is the worst you could do. Mass them instead, and target down the arbalests.
Red was like my dad when we went to the beach. I always remember as a kid carrying tons of stuff down to the sand and wanting to sit down in the first clear area we found, but my dad would always be like, “No, not here”. I still don't know why; to this day, I don't understand why he made us walk for three or four minutes before we could set stuff down; it just meant a longer walk when we left.
If it was right next to a parking lot. Than your dad didn't want everyone parking walking right next to you guys and looking and being general creepers. Just a dad thought.
@@CassadoreMorgan Oddly enough, I finally found out why just the other day. He said he wanted to be somewhere where you could see the sea so that if we went swimming, he could keep an eye on us.
"byzantines op" at the end did feel kinda sarcastic and petty. Red could've been any other civ but his map vision and control is what won him the game.
And have great army diversity and organizing it well- arbalests in the back, Pikemen attacking cav, Cats attacking cav, and making sure to have multiple attackers on individual blue units instead of letting the army attack by itself

Cool game and WP red. T90 in the beginning: " Aww blue knows this map, blue has poles they shred, blue is a true God. Red is clueless just wandering around BUILD A TC ffs! T90 in the end: Byz are OP, they can see everything, and they even have woman scouts and a cheap army dahh! Your so funny T90🤣😎
21:50 Those scouts are trying to put out the housefire. They're good guys, they just aren't very smart and don't realize that attacking fire with swords isn't very affective.
Red looks really promising. If they become more aggressive with their (early) army they can put a lot of pressure on the opponent with their current skill.
That’s true. Dropping it (nearly) immediately just means you’re playing a normal game but behind a little bit. Choosing the spot makes it more strategic
Asks for historical female byzantine - is given Theodora; calls her husband Theo; calls them both stone slave miners. Imagine calling Theodora of Byzantium and her husband Emperor Justinian (one of the most accomplished Eastern Roman emperors) a couple of stone mine slaves.
Cataphract annihilate Obuch. They are great against everything except cataphract. So make some arbalests too and you have a great comp against byzantines.
Love Blue! we'd probably add eachother if we ever run met in-game lol. I almost never get "GL HF" back or anything, but maybe South America players never use english? idk lol
I really dislike the new autoscout. This is exactly what the game loses because of autoscout: Nice hiding, tactical movement. Gone. 20 Scouts all over the place? Easy. Skill? No.
"I could buy the option to rename any selection, but it would cost me a few thousand dollars." This is such a broken reminder of how fucked up modern-day software development is. The guy implementing it will probably need like 20mins to do it. It is a hashmap over the hash of a selection of unit IDs and then checking the string value behind the hash key. But he did not sell you the source code but only the executable. And you paid him like 20k for capture age and if you now were to have others compete in re-offering you a capture age alternative, you would start again hiring a chinese (because lets be real) on fivr for 10k to do it but midway he would suffer a burnout and you get fucking nothing. Life is broke af.
No! Boo! I love sending my army on auto scout and watching them scramble. It looks like they're deserting, trying to escape. That may be cool actually that there is a chance an auto scouting unit can be converted by villagers.
I think YT does that itself. I and others have posted comments that should have been harmless but for some reason they get removed. I doubt T90 or any of his mods would take it down. Even if it was something that went against guidelines, YT itself would probably react faster and take it down
it´s only idle tc time when you have a tc

Theodora the Explora, walking 'mongst the flora. I love it!

I really enjoy when a start that seems noobish ultimately ends in victory.
I love how this game shows the usefulness of the "all idle army" hotkey. That would put more army into the fight, and unblock the gate 😅
wow is there a hot key like that ?
@@aka0989 I am not sure if it’s set up by default, but you can configure it in the hotkey menu.

Title should have been “The Legend of Theodora” 💯
Justice for Thodora!! And may she rest in peace.
"byzantines op" at the end did feel kinda sarcastic and petty. Red could've been any other civ but his map vision and control is what won him the game.
sad pay to win player cant take it that his OP pay to win civ cant win instantly..
Also having more than 4 production buildings and not blocking the path for the reinforcements kinda helped.
And have great army diversity and organizing it well- arbalests in the back, Pikemen attacking cav, Cats attacking cav, and making sure to have multiple attackers on individual blue units instead of letting the army attack by itself
Wild game, good stuff. Really showed the importance of outposts.

This is my contribution to the algorithm !
I welcome our new algorithm overlords
I'll make whatever sacrifices it takes. As long as not many sacrifices are involved.
29:51 "I'm also not sure if Red knows a lot about counters"
He just made a pikemen and camel riders army to fight against knights, wtf do you mean?
Seriously. And he made everything he needed and fought battles really well. That’s not an accident
8:13 IT IS 100% worth thousands of dollars to be able to name stuff!
24:26 T90 is like: The English outpost! You know what to do with it - knock it dooowwwn!
Theodora was really just on a pilgrimage to see that relic
blue actually loses their first vil to a boar at 2:36. Sad nobody pointed that out in chat
"The Hussar and the Tree" would have been a better title. A fairy tale awaits...

T90 says a lot of stupid shit , but the "oh ibex is a type of goat? well you know whats a goat, theodora's the GOAT" genuinely impressed me lmao
I love that really wide zoom out.
that half door exit with a tree right in front was actually a plan it seems. 29:11
when T90 gets distracted by something so mundane for 5 minutes and something actually important in game is happening 😭😢
Corner boy was the video that got me watching!
excellent engaging commentary 👍
Red looks really promising. If they become more aggressive with their (early) army they can put a lot of pressure on the opponent with their current skill.
Best commentator, another solid vid
There's no point playing Nomad if you just drop your TC anywhere.. the real joy of nomad is finding a good TC location
That’s true. Dropping it (nearly) immediately just means you’re playing a normal game but behind a little bit. Choosing the spot makes it more strategic
@@amosdraak3536Yea it also makes your eco fall behind in the long run... low elo it might work
a quick shoutout to my homie the boar who survived a battle that claimed countless lives
I know they seem quite lost but even then these two players would absolutely wipe the floor with me.
I totally watched it already.
Speed x25
You didn't get Theodora. She's a survivalist influencer.
What civs are good for a quick kill on this map?
Maybe Mongols? Good siege and mobility.

Red had 0 res collected until 7:45 game time
Here on 1250-ish elo the auto scout mass on late feudal age has been a real deal
I apprechiate all the game tech details for the ones of us who DONT play the game themsef :-)
Byzantine troops rallied behind Theodora's death RIP Theodora
Imagine if villagers got stronger at whatever they spent the most time doing... so like they could become a super speedy high line of sight "explorer"
Her name should be Wanda 7:03

Anyone else screaming Circe from Age of Mythology, the woman who turns you into pigs
7:10 Tiffany.
Blue losing vils to boars is just the cost of progress
Boara the Explorer, obviously.
Nomad is the goat game mode
Blue should have pressured early. Poles are more for being the aggressor in early game
Cataphract annihilate Obuch. They are great against everything except cataphract. So make some arbalests too and you have a great comp against byzantines.
Bring your own Arena
Love Blue! we'd probably add eachother if we ever run met in-game lol.
I almost never get "GL HF" back or anything, but maybe South America players never use english? idk lol
Gamemode: Nomad but tc's cannot be built until 2 minute mark
Wish i could start in super low elo and work up but smurfing would be an issue i feel
