Absolutely incredible. That's one of the things that modern rts games lack, is the importance of defense. Everything is so focused on attack, base building is ignored.
I don't think this tactic is toxic (quite arbitrary concept anyway). It' just the logical answer to very heavy early pressure. If you get idled that much, you can't push back eye-to-eye. A lot of pros would just try tu counterrush, loose a fight and surrender. This is just so much more consequent. Well played, nerves of steel
Age 4 petard does 4500 damage and 1 pop. So by adding say 5-10 petards in age 4 would have completely destroyed the outposts and opened up the whole base. I am not sure why he did not think of this the whole game!
Just a frustrating game to watch. Russia just kept sending wave after wave. No mass. The further America advanced the more vulnerable his economy got. 40 Guard Oprichinks on the flank and it's GG
I mean, how is this tactic toxic. I for one welcome that someone is finally refusing to give up and keeps on fighting. Sick of all those "pro" games where its lasts barely ten minutes and ends the moment one player happens to loose few units with quick "gg" in chat. THATS toxic and lame atop of that.
Have no idea what was here played, I'm an age2 player, but somehow you kept me locked in here for the whole time. Idk who you are, but I like you. Nice job
I actually this kind of gameplay, it's like the imperial guard. Heavy fortifications, artillery, and I jus missed a ton of infantry, But I do like this wall up and push with your defences.
Well played by MashedPotato72. I was never a fan of games ending in age 2/early age 3, that being said, I'm happy MashedPotato72 won :b. It's incredible how people that are so good at early game can be not so good in the late game. The counter to his turtling is out macro and busting his weak flanks with nice seige damage (oprichnik) instead of brute forcing the middle on age 2/3 eco. Propofol did macro, but did it slowly. He had the entire map, but only really pressured the front which was the most fortified. A nice attack from the flanks would have been the game winner. (yes Propofol had more vils the whole game, but used up resources on units to scratch the walls instead of investing it in eco)
ru player deck was not created for some long game, also he did not expectd something like this and he was confused, he did not know what to do, yea, but it's easy to speak from our prespective, I wonder how we would behave in game
@@KOSOVOisSERBIA222 Indeed, the deck was for early game and this strat isn't expected normally. Surprise was definitely a factor. I'm sure most ladder players would have performed the same. the ladder is about winning in age 2/3, and if they don't, they just roll over and die :b.
7:45 Is Indiana really considered underpowered? People pick either that or New Hampshire every single game from what I've seen, so if anything is underpowered, it's the other 3 options.
love mashed potato what a legend, nice to see different ways to play instead of just toxic semi ff xD felt that indiana was really quite a useless age up, the factory would have been far better for him, would really like to see him play inca.
I played against some guys 2v2 that did similar thing - barely any army, a lot of blocks of walls and outposts. We managed to get through some blocks, but kept getting pushed. We managed to win by Trade Monopoly. I wonder, couldn't Prop try to do the same thing? Or it's not allowed on this map?

Should had built 10 Mortars and the rest mass cav, use the cav to protect the mortar, then focus the mortars on the wall, then go in with the cav to kill arty and villagers.
Hey AOE3 friends, can anybody help me with recorded games? Every time I record a ranked game it saves over the previous file so I can only keep 1 recorded game at a time. I can’t edit the name of the file from in game either, any tips?
This is the problem with DE. The developers need to work more on adding balance to the game. Strategies like these make people want to take a break from DE
Defensive play is unbalanced when stacked with insane cards that give you free upgrades for walls and outposts, technologies that make your outpost wagons cheaper are unbalced aswell.
@@cyruscontreras7866 it’s balanced because you have to survive that late, certain civ matchups are better/worse. Our Russian player could have done better if his comps contained more musk and maybe some halbs for siege. If he sent the advanced arsenal card he already had a great eco late game to build grenadiers with the incendiary grenade card.
not going to lie that russian player was pissing me off so much, he could have used his mortars to kill their cannons just buy shooting that wall. There was so much mismanagement but he was probably looking at his eco.
If he would’ve built more oprichniks since the beginning of AgeIII this would’ve never happened lol. There was nothing USA could do against 20 oprichniks flanking the base while falconets pushed with the main force on the front. The dude literally just suicided his oprichniks at the end in batches of 5 all spread out. Bottom right hand side of the base was basically exposed, only 1 layer of walls with 0 outposts. I’ve seen Aussie getting hit by 30 of these pushing into a corner of his base destroying his factories and shit. Nothing USA could’ve done if that happened. Lmao, I stress out for the entirety of this video from age3 on
All those Ophricnick dying to Gatling... Do you think that the Russ player will fare better if he just swaps to Cossack as it's cheaper and most importantly only cost 1 pop for the suicidal charge at the Gatling?

Mashed potato is just playing tower defense
Pretty accurate Prop often attacked in waves.
Absolutely incredible. That's one of the things that modern rts games lack, is the importance of defense. Everything is so focused on attack, base building is ignored.
Yes perfect, was just looking for something to watch while i eat and then you deliver, thanks.
I was doing exactly the same right now :D
The Legend of Mashed Potato Strikes Again!

Russia should have stayed behind get all the native trading posts and just trade monopoly to victory.
Or just gone and made more fucking cannon
Maybe it wasn't enabled? Idk
Age 4 petard does 4500 damage and 1 pop. So by adding say 5-10 petards in age 4 would have completely destroyed the outposts and opened up the whole base. I am not sure why he did not think of this the whole game!
Had he thought of that, he would've been in the competitive scene 😉
i think more mortars and using them properly would have worked as well
Considering Petards would've survived so many shots from all those towers...
Just a frustrating game to watch. Russia just kept sending wave after wave. No mass. The further America advanced the more vulnerable his economy got. 40 Guard Oprichinks on the flank and it's GG
Agreed. Like just make 50 oprichniks, form a square and that's it
True always batched out strel and Cossack and just stood in front of the walls… this was the best opportunity for oprichniks and he just wasted it..
Thats what happens when you are a "Rush Bro"
Prop is gonna need some chemo therapy after that game. And a pregnancy test while he’s at it
I mean, how is this tactic toxic. I for one welcome that someone is finally refusing to give up and keeps on fighting. Sick of all those "pro" games where its lasts barely ten minutes and ends the moment one player happens to loose few units with quick "gg" in chat. THATS toxic and lame atop of that.
lol? this gots to be a joke
Exactly. A game should rarely be decided by a single fight.
I completely agree bro. This match was so fun to watch.
There are too many cry babies in AoE3. You're right.
Toxic is realtive.
This is legit one of the most fun games I've ever seen hahaha
I'm really liking the united states more and more
They are op as hell.
This is not toxic. This is genius gameplay. Wow. Rushers are the real toxic gamers. Haha. Nice one!
True man!!!
Have no idea what was here played, I'm an age2 player, but somehow you kept me locked in here for the whole time. Idk who you are, but I like you. Nice job
45:40 Weclome to FatSlob Strategy
PS: I`m Legitimately Laughing at my Tears Seeing this
I'll remind myself to get a barf bag next time I see Mashedpotato72 in one of your video's, what a madlad
Aizamk vs mashedpotatoe would take years off my life.
I love your commentary. It is like watching a horse race :D
I love me some spicy new tactics! Replay Hype :D
absolutely amazing! loved the defence!
Kill me, that is a toxic, cheese, turtle. But, I did hear "Swan Lake" in my head during the March of the Tower Wagons at 51:00 :D
I actually this kind of gameplay, it's like the imperial guard. Heavy fortifications, artillery, and I jus missed a ton of infantry, But I do like this wall up and push with your defences.
The moon is one of the balls of Mashed potato.
That turtling with towers, hp buffs and walls was frustrating to watch. Now imagine playing against it.
Well played by MashedPotato72. I was never a fan of games ending in age 2/early age 3, that being said, I'm happy MashedPotato72 won :b.

Mashed potato. King of bloons and urban warfare
If Prop had built culvs a bit earlier he would have won
earlier culvs, less mortars, trade monopoly, Prop imo playeb quite badly
it was.. it was really like an art to watch mashedpotato72's gameplay
US should get some Quaker Culverin while in a Culverin battle. Russia should do trade monoply
Great commentary & match..! Love that march.
The K/D at 53:22 big oof
really wow. The legend is here.
a toxic player? nah, i think its a genius
i love watching good players play aoe, im bad at the game so i barely play. i love the game so much though
7:45 Is Indiana really considered underpowered? People pick either that or New Hampshire every single game from what I've seen, so if anything is underpowered, it's the other 3 options.
Tennessee is actually quite good for Treaty, IMHO. Overmountain Settlers are very useful for trees and hunts
love mashed potato what a legend, nice to see different ways to play instead of just toxic semi ff xD
felt that indiana was really quite a useless age up, the factory would have been far better for him, would really like to see him play inca.
If Russia went full Opri + petards dont see how the US could answer without completely changing the strat.
mortars were also a mistake, prop should've kept making culvs and falcs to deal with US siege.
+also he should made some native units because of pop, it's also when you see so many units, your moral will go down
Now this wouldn't have happened if they did the Russian classic no training time infantry spam :P
Good ol days of training 100 strelets in less than 10 seconds
This is why commercial monopolies should be enabled
tbh idk why he didn't go olprinicks, i get cossack are super strong for their cost but olprinicks can just destroy all buildings.
I played against some guys 2v2 that did similar thing - barely any army, a lot of blocks of walls and outposts. We managed to get through some blocks, but kept getting pushed. We managed to win by Trade Monopoly. I wonder, couldn't Prop try to do the same thing? Or it's not allowed on this map?
how to see more games from this guy, I serached Mashedpotato72 but nothing coming out

This is absolutely insane!!!!
Every time I hear mashed potato I get hungry
Mashed Tater might be best USA turtle player !
HasMods reference?
that was NASTY
Should had built 10 Mortars and the rest mass cav, use the cav to protect the mortar, then focus the mortars on the wall, then go in with the cav to kill arty and villagers.
Best defense ive ever seen wow! USA have a good stall game
That is Insane!
The only thing i not here is how strong the gatlings are.
the way u tell the game is really intersting
hahahahah the legend
OpriCHniks, you are missing the CH sound
Russia threw the game
He should have gone for trade monopoly instead of making strelets against gatlings
crazy game!
Amazing game, but incredibly stressful to watch haha
This is the best Friday!
Whelp, that settles it. As someone that lives in Oregon i feel obligated to buy all the DLCs and play US just to get Oregon Trail.
How to win while being over 10k points behind
This game was funny af lol
Hahaha this was an amazing game
Russia should have tradmeono ad wall a lot
I do believe the word is pronounced "oh-PREECH-neek"
Prop probably got hella tilted
anti mashedPotatoe's bois is gonna be the next update for sure
Incredible game, LOL
I have Asian dynasties on steam what exactly am I missing getting Def version?
Just amezing
It is not toxic, it's just hmm cheesy, toxic is something.. well everyone probably knows what toxic really is, but daem that's real turtle
I read the title in jesse pinkman's voice
Hey AOE3 friends, can anybody help me with recorded games? Every time I record a ranked game it saves over the previous file so I can only keep 1 recorded game at a time. I can’t edit the name of the file from in game either, any tips?
Copy each replay to a new folder after each game?
it hink propofol could just easily destroy the wall with his cannon and then enter cossacks to kill gathlings
39 min for destroy State Capitol and Bad micro, Propofol deserved to lose!
Propofol just got ketamine treatment
lol too good. he does to his opponents what he does to his potatoes, mash them.
Why did he keep putting resources into units and not arty, oh god
They should be chambers flintlocks not Gatling Guns.
Everything is "toxic" except for a high IQ one unit spam, apparently.
bruh where are your replays?
O-pr-ee-ch-nee-k
Now that was disgusting
Well I think that guy never plays Russia in Games with Treaty.
He should go with a mass off Oprichnik and doing the square.
He could win that...
Mashed potato mashed game hard
TOXIC!
This is the problem with DE. The developers need to work more on adding balance to the game. Strategies like these make people want to take a break from DE
Is defensive play really unbalanced???
Defensive play is unbalanced when stacked with insane cards that give you free upgrades for walls and outposts, technologies that make your outpost wagons cheaper are unbalced aswell.
Not to mention that civs like Dutch japan and USA get free wins in the late game as long as they survive
@@cyruscontreras7866 kinda like how a civ optimized for rushing wins if they don’t manage to survive?
@@cyruscontreras7866 it’s balanced because you have to survive that late, certain civ matchups are better/worse. Our Russian player could have done better if his comps contained more musk and maybe some halbs for siege.
If he sent the advanced arsenal card he already had a great eco late game to build grenadiers with the incendiary grenade card.
How come Russia didn't attack the buildings?
Annoyed him to resign lol...
Is this toxic? I think it's really cool :)
Russia just kept attacking in waves instead of getting 50 oprichnikis and running in potatos Eco...
not going to lie that russian player was pissing me off so much, he could have used his mortars to kill their cannons just buy shooting that wall. There was so much mismanagement but he was probably looking at his eco.

Interesting...
Holyy fuck :D green are pro :)
Propofol failed to anaesthetise his opponent
Orps bruh.
What the hell did I just watch...
I really dont like that wagon production of usa. They are cheaper faster to get on place and you dont need to miss any vil seconds.
All those Ophricnick dying to Gatling...
Do you think that the Russ player will fare better if he just swaps to Cossack as it's cheaper and most importantly only cost 1 pop for the suicidal charge at the Gatling?
Whats disgusting, toxic, and evil in what mashed has done...?
Algorithm.
