@@Th3UprightMan An increase in resources is fine, but the change in how the players interact with the monument is why I want to see it. Alternatively you could not let the players know and have it be an in game surprise.
@@michaelnewswanger2409 a SUPRISE WOULD WORK ONE TIME, BUT AS I said (oops caps), once people know, no one would want to take it because they'd be the ganged up on and trade would become impossible, for another thing.

@@Th3UprightMan If you give people as much incentive to take the monument as a normal game it defeats the purpose.

And then he turned around and tried to throw his remaining ally at the survivor as a distraction, trying to do it all over again. He really played the snake to a T, what a game
I like how on the minimap at the end you can see grey was sending the king in a transport towards red, presumably to self-detonate, and almost made it in time.
What I love about this game (minor spoiler!) is, that there was from some point on permanent fighting. Like, I love, that diplomacy allows teams and loyalty is great, but that this did not turn out as an "uh, our team won, what now?"-scenario was really nice.
@@jacobmosovich so there's already a lot of people waiting to play, taking a spot by AI would mean people have to wait even more. However maybe you could keep 8 human players and add the AI so there are 9 players total

All of the final survivors absolutely deserved it. SPOILERS BELOW Red make TKs. Always awesome. Blue sniped beautifully. Grey was a cockroach, and an actually dangerous one at that.
Liked Blue's creativity with king snipes. Grey survived longer than I thought. Red capey bois were beautiful. Red Mira Teutons played really well. This was an entertaining regicide game. gg wp!
Just want to say since I've been following your channel for a year you'd be a great announcer or radio host as you have quite the talent for audio entertainment, but what your doing with AOE is very enjoyable and fun!
I could not be a caster... mainly because I can't keep yellow and orange as well as red and green apart. But mostly because the other colors are indistinguishable for me.
With easy waterfront... sometimes you go docks.. and get around 50 fishing boats, and eventually 50 fishing nets, pretty quick.. while all villagers are lumber jacks at heart, don't do any land fooding... this way you only need one TC, and can flood into imp fast without higher tech.. I think tis 1 TC and 5 Docks... Works really well... food management is interesting also... its a slightly different wayto play, but obviosuly... at 30 villagers and 50.. you should have 3 TC's, but jsut enoug hthat they can always have a place to hide, depending on what you do, but its an alterantive eco boom.
why does he always say "Tom" instead of "TomAquinas"? is it because he doesn't know how to pronounce it, or because he subscribes to the Triadic theology of Gregory Palamas and so rejects the foolish scholasticism of Thomas Aquinas?
@@metallica3556 It wasn't just his matches being one-sided. It was unfortunate how uncompetitive the tournament seemed. Out of the last 8 matches (4 days), only Hera vs Vinch wasn't won by a 3 game margin or greater. Nothing Memb can do anything about, but it sucks.
How about a game varient where all players start the same random civ. Then, immediately after the 1st player is killed, all players switch to a new random civ, with new techs and units. This repeats for every player death.
BROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, something just came to my mind! When I saw gray building lots of houses near 50:00 I thought of them getting siege'd, and then it hit me: use the VOXEL technology, that allows things to be dynamically destroyed, to make a true medieval combat game, just so we can witness houses and castles get slowly torn apart by catapults! IF SOMEONE EVER MAKES IT IT WILL BE SO *EPIC!!*
you can treat it like a relic, relics have 30 hp.. then jsut have a different overlay... but hten if a monk could pick up the... wonder and move it. Wait that sounds like fun... Make a game where it counts down whe na monk is holding the item only, but themonk can move the massive building. LMAO.... ends up in teh ocean..
Im sorry i have to criticise: The teutonic knight is the most beautiful unit in the game and we all loved it when we were young. We se it SO Rarely. if there is a big bunch of them destroying a base, you really should show it more.
Honestly, it ruined the game with how red stole the relic win instead of swapping out like the players had agreed. Very sleazy. I'd bar him from any future games.
Why would he choose to lose? It was blue's fault for not taking red off the monument once. blue was a bit of a fool allying the teutons with a terrible comp vs them
@@seraphimconcordant IDK why would anyone choose to flop around and die like a chump clicking their king around instead of taking revenge on an enemy and changing the course of the game. He definitely could go for a WITNESS ME moment and die shiny and chrome.
The clear strategy to win here is immediately after the game starts you take your king to the monument in the middle. Then you can just go AFK and after a set time you'll win.
T90 This has seriously been one of your worst observations yet. 70% of the time you were idling on some random farm just talking about random stuff as the fighting was happening off screen. Just follow the armies dude. the little dots mixing together in different colours. please do not sit at one guy's base and constantly talk about what he's doing when.. he's not doing anything
I want to see a map where holding the monument turns you enemy with everyone else.

Blue plan was sooooo good, like he baited 2 people to go for his ally and then he almost took both of them at the same time, nice!
And then he turned around and tried to throw his remaining ally at the survivor as a distraction, trying to do it all over again. He really played the snake to a T, what a game

blue was just sending everyone Trojan Horses like it was nothing
t90: Look at Red'sTutonic Knights GOOOOO!
t90, 15 seconds later: Wait, Red had him set to ally.
40:43 "Sorry for trying to kill you" That apology is f***ing hilarious!!!😂
I like how the title can be applied both to grey for surviving this long and to blue for killing so many
was hoping blue and red would fight each other to the end until grey rolled in with a 200 pop army, would've been the ideal ending
Gray was awesome, if he had played it more defensively he could've won
He can't keep getting away with it!
He can't keep getting away with it. :(
He can't possibly keep getting away with it.
More of this map please... its a classic!

Would have been such a diff game if Blue's first snipe attempt on Red went through. Excellent comm game to watch!
I want to see a random AI every community match to make interesting things happen
even if the AI is deafeted very quickly, hat could mean players fighting over the ressources and area that the AI got assigned.
true but that would mean one less community player every game

Would have been perfect if you had Jesse Pinkman in the thumbnail saying "HE CANNOT GET AWAY THIS TIME!" XD
Grey was my favorite right up 'till blue tried the double snipe lol.
Loved Grey in this game.
41:05 Teutonic knights converted to Spanish?
- Hola! Caballeros teutones a la orden!
19:00
"He's going for the old classic Conq 'n Donk"
missionaries and conquistadors.
Grey be like: boring. I wanna see some blood, yours or mine, don’t care
Should have been a photo of Sam Hyde as thumbnail
Viking Longboats / Korean Turtle Ships on the shallows would have been deadly here
This game was excellent. Chaos from grey from the very beginning. Lots of objective play. King snipes. Backstabs. CAPEY BOIS WIN. Loved this one!
The way he pronounces janissaries 😂
What do you get when you mix janissaries and genitours?

As a main teuton player I am satisfied by this game.
If I have to kill your king outside your town center
It's a self defense situation
Aaah the classic conk & donk
Grey was a BEAST.
Grey is like a hermit crab.
Only if hermit crabs had huge cojones.
54:40
right now, everyone red is up against tried and failed to snipe him.
loved watching blue, the ultimate schemer xD
Why everyone helped Red the whole game is a total mystery, and why Blue did all reds dirty work without question is also a mystery.
We need a King of the King of the Hill mode where you can ONLY take the monument with a king, but kings are harder to kill. Lol that would be mayhem.
Late to the party on this, but I'd love to see this gamemode where holding the middle made your king immune.
I really liked grey, just went into the game with the sole purpose of being a menace.
Such a great game. Love these games

Tatar monument. First scientific space watchtower
Man i miss my friends, cuz coaching ended
Can some of u guys become my friends?
Was hoping to see purple would set rally point in red's base and eject green's king.
That would have been genius.
T90 wondering about greys economy, my mind thinking about the eco in the corner: grey has ecornermy
I miss monument destruction already. 😭
have to add the King healing factor to this map
If you forgive your enemies, God forgives you 🤣🤣🤣🙏
Pro tip. T90 talks slow enough to speed the videos up to 2x and you can watch twice as many videos
The map looks like a big chocolate starfish

seems like it would be beneficial to have at least 1 unit in all castles and tc ...orange died cause it was so obvious where his king was hiding
I believe in cape supremacy🙏
I do really want to join such a game, could anyone tell me where the entrance is.

Why is the gold per trip so important for trade? Wouldn't a shorter (less gold per trip) route be quicker allowing more trips per minute?
The time spent traveling equals more gold
The time spent sitting at a dock isn't moving
So it's just maximizing the ratio of moving to unloading
@silverrahulquadratic = exponential ?
@silverrahul Thanks, I'll look into that :)
Do u mind? That FN looks enticing.

the monument needs some AI controlled defense buildings so it's not possible to capture it with just a scout.

Do an exploding king but it's instant and a small explosion
I really wanted Grey to win
Oh you need an exploding kings of exploding kings which is this but with exploding kings and monument can build nukes

Pls don't put ttk in the thumbnail when 80 of them get clicked past an army and never attack once :'(
Edit: ok maybe it's justified lol
Guess it doesn't annoy u when a pro playing aoe2 mouths off at your commentary.
