So You Want To Play Persians | Aoe2

- Episode two of this series and we take a look at the persians. I played once again vs mbl however this was just a coincidence, it was not planned. I rushed the intro a little bit and was talking too quickly so I'm sorry about that. I let some people in twitch chat rush me, I'll be way more clear in future episodes and won't look at the chat to not distract myself. Hope you guys enjoy!

Day 10 of 30! Make sure to vote on what civ you want next week. Stay safe all
Aztecs next pls!
Awesome Vid!!! i vote for Kmer or Aztecs. Ty for all the support to the new community!!!
Berbers!
chinese
Chinese or Khmer.
"No Imp rush, but playing each age at its own strengths" is probably the hardest thing in the game 😅
Great video. Really like your civ analysis series as you play a match in a competitive scene after analysis. Also giving an instruction on why some maps are good/bad for the civ is really helpful.
Would love to see Chinese - no idea how the extra vill start works
Same
He made a video about the Chinese start 😉
Build two houses and find your sheep ASAP, like instantly put one under your TC, really essential that you’re fast. 🐑
Then harvest the sheep with all your vills. When you see that the sheep has like 40-45% food left, MANUALLY drop off the +50 food you’re carrying and make a villager (asap). Repeat this until you don’t have to drop off food anymore. Never stop creating vills or your early lead will be gone.
7 instead of normal 6 on sheep might be a good idea so your food eco can catch up.
Glhf
Oh and I forgot, in the beginning make loom since you have 0 food.
@@edwardblom2661 i would not recommend building any house at all, build the first house just before reaching 9 pop. Put the first 7 vils on sheep (instead of usual 6) and continue build order normally.
Malay. I know they're a pretty advanced civ, but I feel like that's why there should be a guide from a pro.
Agreed - I know they're good, but I'm never sure what to build when I get them
@@ChalkyWilston
They have full archer research. Their elephants are much cheaper but dont have the last two armor upgrades. Militia line costs no gold after imperial upgrade but no Champion. And the unique unit needs a half population and is very cheap but has low hp and low attack but very fast.
And if there is a little bit water on your map build a harbor and fishing ships who can produce unlimited food. More information you can find here: ageofempires.fandom.com/wiki/Malay/Tree
I want the Mongols specifically in black forest/walled maps since the begginning. You are my favorite teacher, thanks!
The wolf won that game. Hera is just riding his coattails. Kappa.
Trying to learn to play Mayans and Persians... and you come up with these! Thank you so much!
Aztecs and chinese! since you ranked them S tier this patch, to make use of them before next patchie!
Great idea.
In my opinion you should do your next "so you want to play" on the civ your opponent choose in the previous video.
So you can refer to both games while explaining it.
I really appriciate such a Guide. I am not the best in AoE right now but it's nice to watch some guides from a pro to get better
Great content. Love the detailed explanations and going through the tech tree followed by a real pro game. What else could you want!

Actually really want a Britons vid, there is basically no current vids on them and how they fit into today's meta
same!
Hera just released a tier list with all the civs and talked about britons and how good they are these days
britons dont have versatility so all you want to do with them is make archers and mix another unit like knights or habs or skirms
I think a video explaining mongols could be interesting considering they seem to be more popular from what I’ve experienced
Thank you for the video and the great series!
It would be interesting to watch your tutorial for Bulgarians.
Amazing video. Nice to lear that some civilizations have a specific pace to sort of respect in order to get the maximum of it.
This is the first vid that actually gave me an idea of how to play the Persians. Seriously.
Thanks for these vids Hera. They are really good. When you're doing these vids it would be helpful for viewers to see the villager-to-resource breakdown in bottom right corner above the mini-map in these tutorial videos (rather than the point score). Let me know what you think.
Have a great Easter weekend bro.
I think with the introduction of DE Elephants are now less of a meme than before.
Hear me out: before they had good eco and Kamandaran they had bad Trash and needed to win with Knights into Cavalier before gold runs out. now that they have good trash they arent forced into a position to win before gold runs out which makes them save a lot more Gold in the first place. And if you then use that Gold to go over the top of whatever the opponent is doing why not go all the way over the top?
The Eltie upgrade costs the same as Cavalier+Paladin upgrade and you get a unit that is A LOT mire powerful than the paladin.
I guess the problem with war elephants is that monk breaks their leg so hard is kinda risky to go for them. Unless you are a good portion ahead and you wanna finish the game, otherwise its a risky and hard to sustain economicly move
@@bernardomuniz4631 of course. You do this only if you are already in Hussar spam mode. Monks usually don't stick around in these.
Thanks for doing these Hera, I would really like to see Huns before the end of April.
OMG Please make one of these for every civ. I grew up playing AoE2 on The Zone (any of you guys remember that?) and now with Definitive Edition, there are so many new civs and stuff that I'm totally lost on the current meta! Thanks for the video!
hey, thanks for the great content!
An idea : ban 4 maps in every episode, i get it that persians can play on any of those maps easily but lets try to find the best ones and optimize our chance to win.
can't wait for the next episode!
Am gearing up to play online 1v1. Will buy a decent monitor and the latest edition of aoe2, then practice - that's where I'm at.
I've realised Persians would be the best to start with and even though they excel on water maps and nomad, I'm not ready for those - one dimension first. I was going to ban Black Forest, but I've decided to not waste a ban on that. I'll favourite Arabia at first.
HOW MANY BANS?
When you select your maps, there's 1 favourite and how many bans? I'd ban Islands and anywhere with already-built walls, where you have to build a starting TC or water where possible... again, I'm not ready for that.
Great series! Keep them coming!
I half expect the title to have a "lol" at the end of it and it be a 30min arena game of you converting every knight your opponent makes and mangos every wood costing archer.
Great content very helpfull ! Love to see chinese and azteque, those strange but apparently powerfull civ !
Chinese, I want to learn them but they're prolly the most intimidating civ to learn with their weird start
really nice game... may the force be with Hera and the spirit of the wolf!
Chinese Start has always been tough for me so I would love to see that video
Great video! Thanks Hera!
so, for a pure land map, should I just build a vill or two more than i usually would in my build orders? I mean i guess that would still give me the up times I aim for, but with a stronger eco. or am I missing something?
How are Malians in the Definite Edition? I played them yesterday in the HD edition and I just think that they are so strong. I was doing a knight rush, dropping castles both defensively and offensively and at the same time I had a booming economy. I am not even particuarly good at the game so that civ feels overpowered in HD to me but maybe it is just my lack of experience.
I think hearing your thoughts on Aztec would be great
Hera: go cav and archers
me: but, doosh?
Do a review/guide for Byzantines.
I would really like to see an italians video where you show different ways to take advantage of their bonuses! It's one of my favorite civs with malians and chinese!
Beautifully played. Wow
What a Gameplay :) thanks a lot! Keep going
Question: Do you think early dock is worth it? Persians can build a dock as a 3rd building and make a fishing ship
Hero wolf of the western lake and mad micro from Hera :D
Spirit of Hera🤘🏽
Persians have been my favorite civ since karaden* tech (trash x bows). It's also crazy how they get literally every mounted unit and upgrade.
yes mine too, they are a fun civ to play now too. You can spend your food and gold on great knights, camels, even elephants if you feel lucky - and with all that spare wood you can spam trashbows almost like a goth player can spam infantry. I bet they will be nerfed again soon. The only thing that lets them down now is slightly bad seige (and infantry but who cares about the milita line really)
Great video! Do Aztecs next! :D
I think Persians are now one of the coolest civs, with the gold-free crossbows and of course the elephants. However, as a noob (had the game since 99', started playing multiplayer recently), I'm thrown back by their strong Dark Age eco bonuses. Seems like it's the recipe for getting into bad early game habits.
Great video. Thx Hera
Thanks for this guide. I would love to see Aztecs.
I'd love to see spanish as they are very special and hard to Play. Keep up the great work🥰
Awesome content! You said Persians were a little too strong - what would you nerf? Also would really like to see Chinese, you mentioned they are a top tier civ, but in my hands they are awful.
Can somebody explain the thing with the wolf? I didn't understand that play...
Ethiopians or Malay please. It's interesting to see professional takes on some of the civs that aren't top tier or seem to fly under the radar. Great content, please keep it up!
You should do one on Malay. They have so many strong options and i usually play them on long diplo games. It would be nice to get a guide by a pro on 1v1 maps.
Unpopular opinion: Slavs pls
Also, great job on this content, I’m enjoying it a ton!
Slavs !
Go Slavs
nice one, thanks for the guide.
Mezo civs! I feel they are the most different from other civs!
Hey Hera do you think that you would ever try hyper-aggressive strats. You have the speed and game knowledge to forward players and make their lives hell. I feel like you could be the next Lyx.
How do you make the panels look on the ground?
khemer, Chinese, Aztecs pls (in these order)
entertaining and easy to learn vids, keep it up
Wait, I made a comment asking you to make this series but you'd already done it. Woops. :D
amazing
Khmer. Gotta be khmer...who doesn’t wanna meme someone with elephants scorps and bombards?
great video! please make Khmer, i always seem at lost to what units to make along the great economy
I love Paladins hopefully soon you can make a video of Persian paladins!
That wolf is probably the best teammate in all 1v1 games ever.... :'D
Nice video!
Do Mongols next !
The 5000 hp town center civ that can produce 115 vils in the time it takes other civs to make 100 in castle age.
I saw a question in the chat I really want to know - when ARE War Elephants viable?
I only play against the AI really, so I don't really know the PvP aspect of this game well, but even the stronger DE Ai's get roflstomped if you're able to mass Elephants.
Chinese...i know they are popular, and i like to play but i always have a rought start whit them. Thanks Hera!
Man, you are good thank you for your interview, but what is this gold miners working style at 17:53 :'(
Awesome man, thanks for the insight, keep it up !
MegaMatt107, you did check your emails ? did ya ?
Wolf MVP
8:52 completely agree. Persians is really a strong civ now but not broken/OP. Maybe Kamandaran moving into Imperial and then reducing its cost by 100 food would be good. Trashbows should not be available in Castle age in my opinion.
Hera, has viper hit you with youe D and F civs yet? He seems to want to prove your tier list wrong while against you.
I'm down for Burmese, tbh. The pros make great use of Arambai (even after the nerf) time and time again but I can't get them to work for me.
Liking the Cumans. Thoughts of them?
Wow..dats fast game play! No way to match that speed for me 😅
Please do all you S tier civs! Great contentent
Keren kali camp nya ya
Hera #1
not only skilled, but also cute and good looking af
maybe do a strawpoll for the next civ? xd
TC drop in 8th min lets go ! :D
Pleaze make chinese next!! Love yor work btw
Huns next hera! I can barely find any vids on them and itd be rlly helpful for this noob :)
You clicked up to Feudal Age with 20 vils. When you reach 25 vils at 16:18 you put down a stable (and do the first Feudal action (apart from double-bit axe)). Wouldn't it be better in hindsight to click up to Feudal with 25 vils to have five more vils working while you're aging up?
Good question. Needs an answer!
@@Jimmy911ism Thanks for pointing that out :)
@@Mathemarius The problem is they post these videos and then idiots make nonsense comments and stuff like this gets lost.
I think the time spent creating more villagers takes overall productivity away... or impacts your vulnerability. 25 seconds per villager is 125 for 5 villagers - that's just over 2 minutes. Most fit people can run 800m in that time. Then there's the age-up time to feudal. Can't recall, but it's a fair amount.
For me, another question is when to research Loom and whether to make militia while aging up.
Where can I download it?
what time of age of empire is this guy playing? the Persian in my game doesn't kamandran?
No +5% faster work bonus for TC's in Dark age anymore. It is curious, how civ balance changes every month with DE. Probably persians are not that crazy now as they don't get that extra villager to the end of Dark age. Still very strong civilization for booming, I guess. Anyway, thanks for the overview!
Khmer please. Really good civ but lower level players are often at a loss what army to make.
Scorpion elephant spam
I am a noob at this game and I have a question for how won. Did the opponent give up because he killed some of his villagers?
khmer. I feel like they have a lot of options now. would be good to go over. Or aztecs.
I thought we were gonna Tc drop him.
Everyone knows that's how you play Persians.
Can you play a video about teuton, i love this civ so much
I would like to see the khmer.
How would you deal with Indians as Persians ? I always fail that matchup.
you are insane
I would love to see the newest civs first. I think most of AOE players know the old civs pretty much (of course you know them waaaay better), but the new civs are kinda hard to get into. Hope you read this comment bro! Keep making an amazing work! Mucho love from Chile ^^
thanks man
I will never be this good :(
mattjustsalsa is the mvp! damn boi dats a good sum
