that was freaking amazing I've never seen a tower rush at 3 min in the game, lmao that's some other level shit daut's response was on point though. that's why I love aoe2, because there are many possibilites and strategies you can do on pretty much every situation!
yes every one on Earth says that, i mean everyone who likes aoe2 always mentions that fact that "there are sooooooo many strategies you can execute" :) EVERYONE SAYS THAT, is that a a sentence EVERYONE copies from other people?
I hope you all enjoy the pleasant surprise of 2 Break the Meta episodes in 1 week! :D I can't do that regularly, but sometimes you just get a really magical series of games that deserve the spotlight. These 2 videos were a ton of work so your support is super appreciated! Huge thanks as well to everyone on Patreon: www.patreon.com/Resonance22
Hey Resonance22 is there any word if AOE2 is getting another expansion or Is "Rise of Rajas" the last AOE2 expansion I haven't been able to find any Information on this can you please update the UA-cam Viewers on the latest known Information on AOE2 Expansions
This was a joy to watch- wonderful play from both players. It would be awesome to see the original live commentary too, just to see how you and zac reacted to the mayhem unfolding before you.
Keep up the good work, i love your content N.V. Keep up the good work, keep up the good content, up keep work the good, keep good the up work, work up the keep good
Always quality content and great casting. You're very humble with your request, and I consistently enjoy your uploads -- I'm heading over to Patreon to support you right away. Keep up the great work... I'd love to see you doing more of this (and maybe even full-time!).
I thought that the Tower Hop was the most insane Break the Meta strategy,but this tower rush managed to be even crazier.And your deep analysis of just few minutes of play is top-notch quality.This match is a rare gem and you are the awesome jeweler that exposes the beauty of it.
The reason switching perspectives seems to bring you to the other person's base is because that's where you left the view the last time you were spectating that person. There is an interesting trend (I do this too) where people tend to switch after moving to the other person's base, as in they see something interesting in a base they want to check out from that person's perspective when in the opponent's perspective, and so they switch perspectives at that point. Later, when you want to switch back to that perspective, you're suddenly looking at the other player's base.
Well, in this case, Daut just broke the meta right back with those secret mills, so in the end the meta breaker extraordinaire did pull out the victory. :)
The editing you do is very well suited for this video, and will be well worth the effort considering the reputation this series has and the number of viewers that will click bc of it. I would like to ask how you found a rec w the specific situation you wanted? How I usually do it is download a ton of games from aoczone and rewatch many of them until i find the situation i need (like a game supremacy was researched). Is there a faster way?

Recently I played 1v1 Arabia and got tower rushed. My response was to evacuate, follow the stone nodes, gather here and there and send most of my vils to the other guys base. I stopped vil production and saved up enough res for ageing up to castle. When I got to castle, I had about 660 stone and I went into his base and castle dropped him at the same time putting down a workshop to get out rams
Been watching for a while! Anything I can do to help I will absolutely do! Really want Age 4 to expand your channel even further and your Twitch so you can do what you love for a living! Keep up the great work man! Stay positive =)
Why do you guys think cloud didn't go for the tower hop right into his base? If it failed due to Daut placing a house or something, he still could have battered down a palisade in range of his tower. Could have made his strategy even faster in my mind, maybe could have gotten to the gold/stone area before Daut was Feudal and could counter-tower, but I'm probably missing something. And thanks for the detailed casting, Resonance! Fun game to watch.
Just thought about it some more...maybe because it would be too easy for Daut to quick wall if he tried tower hopping at either corner, then he'd be stuck behind more palisade? But then again, Daut's quick walls were also able to be tower hopped again because of the way he built them, which could have allowed cloud to invade his space further.
I don't mean to be rude, rather more I'd like to hint that for me the video, even on 1080p, seems kind of blurry. Maybe you can use some other settings encoding and rendering the video to improve the quality a little. The quality of the commentary and everything else is top notch!
Hey Resonance22 is there any word if AOE2 is getting another expansion or Is "Rise of Rajas" the last AOE2 expansion I haven't been able to find any Information on this can you please update the UA-cam Viewers on the latest known Information on AOE2 Expansions
Hi Thomas, right now there hasn't been any official announcement of Aoe2 HD getting another official expansion but there are rumors about it. Here you can see an unnamed "DLC" which could be anything, an expansion, a campaign, a soundtrack, we're not sure! steamdb.info/app/221380/dlc/ If you go to the History tab though you can see they are working on something, so at least there is absolutely another patch coming. :) If it does eventually turn out to be another expansion I will immediately make an announcement on my Twitter, Facebook, and here on UA-cam.
Its difficult to say what it is on the sources I do know that they are working on patch 5.6 and is available as a public beta ATM the most recent sources as on this link steamdb.info/sub/19338/ was updated 18 days ago which notes AOE2 HD - 4 pack which suggests the conquers and four expansions but as we know there is only 3 at the moment (not including the conquers expansion) which as we know are forgotton, African kingdoms and Rise of Rajas, back to the first part when it came to my attention the "unknown steam app" listed as the fourth DLC is shows that the last update was provided 9 months ago however on the very top it shows that the last known recorded update occurred on the 27th of November
Can anyone please help me with AOE2's AI? If I play on a custom scenario / map that I made, the AI is very stupid on the hardest difficulty. But if I play on a randomly generated map, the AI works just fine.
Res22, any chance you could make a video about why people abandoned AoE3? Is it because of the vastly different playstyle needed(not as much micro on eco, full of power spikes, no such thing as trash units etc.), and also that each civ is actually quite unique(in so many ways, more than AoE2) that one build order just does not fit all civs(Dutch vills needing coin, Indian vills needing wood)? Does this make matchup analysis quite difficult, since it is not at all obvious at all how civs play at matchup? Do you think players abhorred the idea of home city and levelling up to obtain cards? I would really like your take on AoE3 and why some players just hated it. Sincerely, subscriber from India. Cheers!!
this is to meta for me. a video you did, talking about a video you did, called break te meta. I even tried to click on Full screen while you where showing the youtube screen cap of your old video.
I know you are trying to explain everything, but there is WAAAYYYYYYYY too much rambling on in this video, extra clips, slow speed, and same thing mentioned over and over and over and over and over and over and over. Much of the stuff mentioned didn't even happen, or matter. Good wood line wasn't scouted like you hinted over and over, and some other things, I forget because I had to force myself through first 31 minutes before I gave up.
that was freaking amazing
I've never seen a tower rush at 3 min in the game, lmao
that's some other level shit
daut's response was on point though.

I don't play AoE2 but I absolutely love these break the meta videos. Keep it up :)
This was a joy to watch- wonderful play from both players.
It would be awesome to see the original live commentary too, just to see how you and zac reacted to the mayhem unfolding before you.
@David Freeborn and Resonance- I second getting the original live commentary. That would be awesome.
"Not only defeats most Anakins,"
Dead.
5:27 I think
lmfao
19:31 length game, on 1.5 times "real life" speed, took 46 minutes to cast. That is dedication, folks.
You're killing it with these videos man! Keep up the good work!
Keep up the good work, i love your content N.V. Keep up the good work, keep up the good content, up keep work the good, keep good the up work, work up the keep good
Now you are just spoiling us man!! Love break the meta. Keep up the good work!
That moment when you know you need to get some sleep, but there's 5 + Res vids you haven't watched yet in the suggested videos. 1 more can't hurt.
Always quality content and great casting. You're very humble with your request, and I consistently enjoy your uploads -- I'm heading over to Patreon to support you right away. Keep up the great work... I'd love to see you doing more of this (and maybe even full-time!).

Insane! Love breaking the AOE Meta
When he was talking about high ground, I immediately thought about Star Wars, then "Not only defeats most Anakins"... I died XD
OMG I love these new break the meta episodes!
I usually dislike it when the meta breaker looses, but man, that response was super super good. Great game
That is because he tried to break the premier meta breaker, Daut, who is so used to such cheese strategies that responses come naturally to him.
Well, in this case, Daut just broke the meta right back with those secret mills, so in the end the meta breaker extraordinaire did pull out the victory. :)
"However, a well placed castle on the high ground in YOUR base not only defeats most Anakins..."
T H E M A D M A N !
Or should I say THE MILLMAN?
This and the last game were both such absolute trips. Oh my.
The editing you do is very well suited for this video, and will be well worth the effort considering the reputation this series has and the number of viewers that will click bc of it.

That is perhaps the most perfect response someone could do.. brilliant play from both

Really want Age 4 to expand your channel even further and your Twitch so you can do what you love for a living!
Keep up the great work man! Stay positive =)
I'm really sorry to hear about your job, Res. Thank you for continuing to push out these videos for your fans!
Great video. Well commentated. Learned a lot.

2 break the meta games in such a short time. is this the real world?
Don't cheese the cheeser, kids.
Sorry to hear about your job, but I'm glad to see you started a Patreon. Keep up the great work!
I love watching Daut in action.
the series is finally back! its finally baaack!
Wants to explain the expected meta, uses his previous part of Break the Meta as background footage. Classic Resonance :D
ALL HAIL KING DAUT
He tried to cheese the cheeselord
Great clip, I have a friend who used to pull crazy fast trushes like this all the time back in the day. I'll have to send him this one haha

Break the meta is back!!!!!! PogChamp
I want to see Daut's stream of this now...
i wanted to watch fastest torwerrush in aoe and watched the longest aoe video ever
man, I'm really sorry you lost your job :(
Can anyone please help me with AOE2's AI? If I play on a custom scenario / map that I made, the AI is very stupid on the hardest difficulty. But if I play on a randomly generated map, the AI works just fine.
Franks foragers collect faster in expansions, Daut might have known that too.

DAUT NEVER DIES
I like this map, is very interesting to watch
this is to meta for me. a video you did, talking about a video you did, called break te meta. I even tried to click on Full screen while you where showing the youtube screen cap of your old video.
Oh the stats!!!
Nice intro xd
You are a talker....talkers make me thristy...
Triforcetower😂 you play a lot of lol?:D
