I remember when I first started getting competitive and going for yolo plays. I used to sit back and wait till I was "ready" also -- but that lets the other guy get "ready" too. I had another guy who was basically equal to me. Like disturbingly equal. We has a castle age fight with 3 knights against 3 knights in a 1v1. I turned the game by making the choice to build a single monk. The healing and converting 100% won me the game. We both hard castle rushed each other and tried to knight the other's eco, and we hit it basically at the exact same time. He was smart too, and tried to use light cav on me to get the monk etc. Its probably the most stressful and micro-intensive game I ever had in AoE. Felt more like league of legends or something. lol. I respect red's single monk. lol.

The general build order is to click feudal and send the boar villagers to the stragglers after they finish with the second lure and ideally have them build horse collar farms.
@@nicermog My usual build order is put 7 on sheep, 3 on wood, and then add another 2 to forage, 1 to build more houses, and 3 more for assistance with boars. I finish off by sending the 12 food vills to mill and as soon as I finish the stragglers, build my first lumber camp. The rest of my vills during that time will be lumber camp vills. After I deplete the forage bushes, then I finally build farms.
Once any tree not connected to another is cut, you can build over it without collecting all 100 wood. It only takes two chops. If your worried about wasting the 100 wood ask yourself how likely is it your going to chop every tree available? Hardly ever 1v1, even on Arabia.
As a relatively new player with ranked anxiety, I want to say thank you for making these low elo casts. They legitimately help me with my reluctance to jump into ranked, and make me want to play more.
"Reminds me of a simpler time", honestly why I have trouble getting into ranked/competitive RTS games. Build orders and timing absolutely make for a more efficient game, but it's so much more mechanical and almost .. less fun? For me?

That's the funniest AOE video I've ever seen in my life. Thank You T90. You're the best. I'm also learning English from your videos. I'm russian native speaker)
17:09 Thanks for your words, I’ve been watching your videos since during December and I’ve always been a casual single player but after seeing/hearing this I might give a chance to online mode.
Ichigoblack123456789 - The Walking Dead: Well I just started playing ranked matches, it has been bad but I expected it, even though my rank has dropped drastically, I still get paired against really experienced players, most likely smurfers I believe? But it has been really fun too, I won my first solo game like an hour ago on gold fiber, the thing is I haven’t played constantly until today, but T90 is a great shoutcaster and I’ve been learning a lot from his videos, what I find difficult is the macro, it’ll take time to get used to it. Wish I could play against other players that have the same gameplay level as me though, great experience don’t get me wrong, T90 really motivated me!
Simpler times yes. I member. I played most rts games in a roleplaying fashion in the past, still kind of do. Multiplayer games were fun especially in lotr but now people just all do the same optimised stuff, FeelsBadMan. You had to learn yourself and enjoyed doing it, now learning a game is like a university course.
I love watching these matches because it reminds me of when my friend and I verse each other and just chill out and enjoy the game for what it is without crazy pressure to build up quick.
When I was a kid I used to play Franks mostly because of their strong paladins, cheep castles and free farm upgrades. Build walls, make castles and towers, defend, push with mostly paladins and trebs. Also I mostly forgot about my blacksmith upgrades until the late game. When not playing campaigns I usually played against an easy AI, made about 30 villagers and felt good. I had 1 production building of each type at a time, because why spend precious resources on on extra, when you have all the time to build up an army behind your walls? Also I think I had 30 villagers habit due to original game campaigns, where you had 75 population limit. And also due to Age of Empires I experience. I never ever used any keyboard hotkeys and had a slow reaction on idle villagers. Instead I collected all the relics I possibly could. Besides Franks I loved byzantines, britons, teutons and persians (for war elephants, of course). These low elo players somewhat remind me about those days, although I was too shy to try and play multiplayer. I have a feeling that they are rather young themselves, although I may be wrong of course.
This guys are total Chads, I remember that when I started playing enclose myself inside tons of walls and towers and quietly waited for the enemy to attack my base
At 30:32 T90Official forgot that in AoE as an easter egg camels also receive bonus damage from heated shot like ships cause a camel is also called the "ship of the desert". The red player simply wanted to make his castle strong against camels. So the red player simply did not realize that his opponent cannot make camels as a Franks. That was the red player's real mistake there. XDD
Nah it's because he saw blue had a monk in the chokepoint. He was worried blue would convert his camels and use them against him, so he planned ahead the prevent that possibility!
What I've seen sometimes is that the "one big fight" doesn't end. Noobs with decent economic output just continue throwing more and more men into the meat grinder.
those were the really fun days playing age2: you played with a bunch of friends on local network. nobody was good. you kind of explored to game during the match. found out new things. at some point things escalated and there was a big battle with random units :)
13:00 i guess thats what he learrned in the army. Solders have to walk up and down the "barracks" all the day to get strong :-) Is drill the correct englisch term for that?
I just found your channel a couple of days ago and you inspired me reinstall AoE2 which I've played for a long time (since the original release actually). However, I never played competitively on the internet and the funny thing about this video is that they both do a lot of what I still do when playing, although I'm much better at controlling my units in battle. It's kind of ridiculous to realize that you're still a complete noob even after playing a game intermittently for about 20 years! But I like the fact that even if you're amused by their lack of skill, you never humiliate them. You laugh with them and not of them. And I think that inherent respect that you within you is what makes you a great and entertaining host.
This was the absolute best video to watch as a new player. I've watched a lot of your other videos, but seeing you point out these flaws was priceless. I hope I can find more!
I've never played AoE and only discovered this channel 2 months ago. This is might be the first gaming video I've CRIED laughing twice! That ram getting annihilated by the camels and then red losing their whole army to vils and a few troops was amazing
This series reminded me of my childhood. Played a lot of AoE with no idea what I'm doing. I just bought DE and I'll give it a try with a bit more understanding (not very much).
I've watched this channel for 2 years now, this is absolutely the most dramatic, skillful, and entertaining game ever. We need these guys in the hidden cup 3!
T90, I cant believe this. I finally started playing AOE2 after a decade of not playing since seeing one of your videos. After watching this, I am playing multiplayer from now on!!
I haven’t played this game for probably 20 years haha, I’ve been really enjoying watching your vids the last week. I even downloaded the game again, happy times gaming down memory lane, keep up the good work mate and thanks.
If you ever get worried that people get offended by you roasting their games, just remember that pub casts are some of the most successful videos out there across many games. My favourite one ever is from Purge casts a pub ep 17
28:45 Default hotkey to build a farm is a-a; to build an outpost is s-a. If he was already on the military building screen, it makes pretty good sense.
6:23 fat slob is my hero his videos are what got me back into age of empires after not playing for over ten years. sadly whenever I play multipyer I still loose, I'm able to get up to castle age at a decent time still slower then most and I still stuggle with hotkeys, I know the most common ones I use but not all, and anyway I struggle knowing what military to make the enemy always just melts my army with ranged units and if I try the same they just kill all of mine and I can never produce as much.
Just played my first online game after T90's pep talk at 16:51. Got tower rushed, followed by knights. Still the most fun game I've played in years. Thanks, T90!
Ok, i gotta pause at 23:38 cuz T90, that was hilarious what you said about villagers learning to build a new lumbercamp closer when the university is up. That was a good one.
The most wholesome bit in this whole thing is when T90 said 'Type a kappa in chat if your micro is also like a 140-year-old Federer' and a FLOOD of kappas follow. With you on that one.
The number one tip I have that T90 never mentions, Turn on tool tips they will help you SO much, they tell you what upgrades do when you mouse over them and the basics for units.
Yet when i tried to play I was instantly pitted against pros. Every time. I gave up ever playing multiplayer again because there's too many no lifers that just like to rofl stomp new and amateur players.
Watching those games makes mw feel like a pro... But i really suck at microing my troops and keeping my Eco up after mid Castle Age... Looks like i am one of the "ok" elo legends
Hey @T90official just wanted to let you know that I'm loving the low elo games... I've been watching you for years but its this series that actually inspired me to buy DE and start playing again after 20 years. Keep up the good work

That's how it is done.
How to balance your production buildings in 1v1:
- 1 Barracks
- 1 Range
- 1 Stable
- 1 Castle
- 2 Markets
Well the 2nd market is obviously in case the 1st one is destroyed by petards, duh
Still beats 3 ranges on a neutral island
build a church to get a monk healer, but don't take relics, not even those in your own town
also always make frank cav archers
Clearly a noob. I prefer infinte barracks to keep producing from at least 3 of them
Those villagers aren’t idle. They’re just supervising
they're power napping. you actually have to research that.

But it has been really fun too, I won my first solo game like an hour ago on gold fiber, the thing is I haven’t played constantly until today, but T90 is a great shoutcaster and I’ve been learning a lot from his videos, what I find difficult is the macro, it’ll take time to get used to it.
Wish I could play against other players that have the same gameplay level as me though, great experience don’t get me wrong, T90 really motivated me!
“We May very well be looking at players who do not have hotkeys....”
I’d be surprised if they have keyboards...
Simpler times yes. I member.
I played most rts games in a roleplaying fashion in the past, still kind of do. Multiplayer games were fun especially in lotr but now people just all do the same optimised stuff, FeelsBadMan. You had to learn yourself and enjoyed doing it, now learning a game is like a university course.
I love watching these matches because it reminds me of when my friend and I verse each other and just chill out and enjoy the game for what it is without crazy pressure to build up quick.
When I was a kid I used to play Franks mostly because of their strong paladins, cheep castles and free farm upgrades. Build walls, make castles and towers, defend, push with mostly paladins and trebs. Also I mostly forgot about my blacksmith upgrades until the late game. When not playing campaigns I usually played against an easy AI, made about 30 villagers and felt good. I had 1 production building of each type at a time, because why spend precious resources on on extra, when you have all the time to build up an army behind your walls? Also I think I had 30 villagers habit due to original game campaigns, where you had 75 population limit. And also due to Age of Empires I experience. I never ever used any keyboard hotkeys and had a slow reaction on idle villagers. Instead I collected all the relics I possibly could. Besides Franks I loved byzantines, britons, teutons and persians (for war elephants, of course).
These low elo players somewhat remind me about those days, although I was too shy to try and play multiplayer. I have a feeling that they are rather young themselves, although I may be wrong of course.
Either young, or very old. But all that matters is they enjoy the game.
This guys are total Chads, I remember that when I started playing enclose myself inside tons of walls and towers and quietly waited for the enemy to attack my base
At 30:32 T90Official forgot that in AoE as an easter egg camels also receive bonus damage from heated shot like ships cause a camel is also called the "ship of the desert".
The red player simply wanted to make his castle strong against camels.
So the red player simply did not realize that his opponent cannot make camels as a Franks.
That was the red player's real mistake there.
XDD
Well it's not the case with DE, and Franks don't get the tech either so wouldn't help counter camels anyway.
Nah it's because he saw blue had a monk in the chokepoint. He was worried blue would convert his camels and use them against him, so he planned ahead the prevent that possibility!
19:17 i love that goldminer who has to walk around the entire gold pile AND EVEN THE BOAR to dropp off some gold
What I've seen sometimes is that the "one big fight" doesn't end. Noobs with decent economic output just continue throwing more and more men into the meat grinder.
makes me think monarchs in the wars of the 19th century were playing on the level of aoe noobs
those were the really fun days playing age2: you played with a bunch of friends on local network. nobody was good. you kind of explored to game during the match. found out new things. at some point things escalated and there was a big battle with random units :)
13:00 i guess thats what he learrned in the army. Solders have to walk up and down the "barracks" all the day to get strong :-) Is drill the correct englisch term for that?
Yes
Drill and train would both be acceptable. Drill would be associated with the military where train could be anyone.
@@jimland4359 THX!
I just found your channel a couple of days ago and you inspired me reinstall AoE2 which I've played for a long time (since the original release actually). However, I never played competitively on the internet and the funny thing about this video is that they both do a lot of what I still do when playing, although I'm much better at controlling my units in battle. It's kind of ridiculous to realize that you're still a complete noob even after playing a game intermittently for about 20 years! But I like the fact that even if you're amused by their lack of skill, you never humiliate them. You laugh with them and not of them. And I think that inherent respect that you within you is what makes you a great and entertaining host.
I still remember when I thought that having more than 2 TCs was crazy! and when other players did it I couldn't understand
i still don't understand. I myself am very low ELO, pretty much 0 because i've never played an online match because i cannot find any matches.
@@lynxnightcore1720 got the same problem not a soul online. Are there more servers than the ingame at multiplayer?
@@royvandersteen8829 I just cannot find anything. All tabs in multiplayer are empty.
Lynx NightCore try it now, they updated the game a lot. Are you using steam?
Anyway, you should have three 3tcs so you can provide a lot of villagers fast
This was the absolute best video to watch as a new player. I've watched a lot of your other videos, but seeing you point out these flaws was priceless. I hope I can find more!
"He thought patrol was an upgrade" !!! Hahahaha
I've never played AoE and only discovered this channel 2 months ago.
This is might be the first gaming video I've CRIED laughing twice! That ram getting annihilated by the camels and then red losing their whole army to vils and a few troops was amazing
36:00 r we gonna ignore the fact that there is a bear attacking vil during the fight XDXDXD ??
Hi! Your Low ELO Legends videos are pure gold. They helped me to finally take the jump into multiplayer. I've already won two games. Thanks!!
2:50 no worries they're just admiring their craftsmanship.
This series reminded me of my childhood. Played a lot of AoE with no idea what I'm doing. I just bought DE and I'll give it a try with a bit more understanding (not very much).
0:40 "Not trying to be a jerk"
**Looks at thumbnail**
yeah, okay..
I've watched this channel for 2 years now, this is absolutely the most dramatic, skillful, and entertaining game ever. We need these guys in the hidden cup 3!
"I would eat an expired bag of Chex Mix."
-T90, 10/30/20
LIVESTREAM THIS BOIIIIIIIII
T90, I cant believe this. I finally started playing AOE2 after a decade of not playing since seeing one of your videos. After watching this, I am playing multiplayer from now on!!
Indeed I am one of those who says, "I could never play online." The computer just trashes me so often.
Was waiting whole start to hear Chuuu chuuu 35:09, almost unstoppable loughing from begging. Well done T90, bless you budy...
I think Blue thought Red was going to quit after the Castle went down lol
35:00 - 35:20
My favorite AoE clip of all time! Thank you so much, T90
"The point is you don't need gold and stone in dark age"
*stares in Hoang*
I haven’t played this game for probably 20 years haha, I’ve been really enjoying watching your vids the last week. I even downloaded the game again, happy times gaming down memory lane, keep up the good work mate and thanks.
34:45 this moment is the best of the entire game
If you ever get worried that people get offended by you roasting their games, just remember that pub casts are some of the most successful videos out there across many games. My favourite one ever is from Purge casts a pub ep 17
this gives me hope T90 will cast one of my games one day.
28:45 Default hotkey to build a farm is a-a; to build an outpost is s-a. If he was already on the military building screen, it makes pretty good sense.
"you played 2 hours to die like this?"
6:23 fat slob is my hero his videos are what got me back into age of empires after not playing for over ten years. sadly whenever I play multipyer I still loose, I'm able to get up to castle age at a decent time still slower then most and I still stuggle with hotkeys, I know the most common ones I use but not all, and anyway I struggle knowing what military to make the enemy always just melts my army with ranged units and if I try the same they just kill all of mine and I can never produce as much.
your casting is legendary :D i laughed way too hard the whole time
Just played my first online game after T90's pep talk at 16:51. Got tower rushed, followed by knights. Still the most fun game I've played in years. Thanks, T90!
I'm gonna buy DE on weekend. You conviced me.
T90
"Blue's army is like an expired bag of chex mix" - LOL pure comedic gold right there.
Back in the day, when I used to design my base like a proper city with roads and stuff lol.
I'm loving how different this is. Literally how we all started back in the day on AoK. Loving how you're cringing inside lmao!
I play on "moderate" in HD and this makes me wonder if I should play online...
Players not taking their boars was killing me
Just go ranked and soon you’ll be playing of your level
Ok, i gotta pause at 23:38 cuz T90, that was hilarious what you said about villagers learning to build a new lumbercamp closer when the university is up. That was a good one.
I've never clicked so fast in my life
Great video, man! 42:10 and boy, that Petard Snipe
1:01:25 oh thank god it's over, red seemed to believe he had to petard every blue building to the last house.
The most wholesome bit in this whole thing is when T90 said 'Type a kappa in chat if your micro is also like a 140-year-old Federer' and a FLOOD of kappas follow. With you on that one.
I have a low ELO game in my records that you can make a lot of laugh! Ask me to send it to you whenever you want m8.
Stavros Mouzaidis do it
Don't camels count as ships and heated shot deals more dmg to them? Or did that get patched?
the moment when you thinkl to yourself: "dayum, these guys are better than me"
#feelsbadman
Probably skalpa62 is from Turkey. In Turkey, cities have number codes (1-81) and Turkish players like to add their city code in nicks.
T90 wants to be educational but throws in so many ironic "tips" that a true low elo player would not understand them.
The number one tip I have that T90 never mentions, Turn on tool tips they will help you SO much, they tell you what upgrades do when you mouse over them and the basics for units.
Yet when i tried to play I was instantly pitted against pros. Every time. I gave up ever playing multiplayer again because there's too many no lifers that just like to rofl stomp new and amateur players.
This is the love in aoe2 not that bullshit pro meta stuff. I love it reminds me of old days.
I play 2 matches a day. The first one I lose, the second one I win. And so I am climbing bois. 1041 rn and still rockin'
I love how you're giving them a backstory and her reasons to narrate the lives of these villagers
Watching those games makes mw feel like a pro... But i really suck at microing my troops and keeping my Eco up after mid Castle Age...
Looks like i am one of the "ok" elo legends
Hey @T90official just wanted to let you know that I'm loving the low elo games... I've been watching you for years but its this series that actually inspired me to buy DE and start playing again after 20 years. Keep up the good work
