I think Gray was a lot less clever than he though he was. He had a decent strat, getting everybody to do everything for him so that he saved his own stuff, but he completely neglected to actually... have stuff. Or defend himself. He was all "I'm teaching everyone a lesson in diplomacy!" meanwhile the only reason why nobody was calling him out, or bothering to pay enough attention to notice was because he was pretty much irrelevant anyways.
CrazyCarter: barely holding on in these fights Jon: who are you fighting? CrazyCarter: I'm surprised my king ain't dead CrazyCarter: too many at this point Says this with zero kills 11 This exchange had me rotfl
Well, this aint work anyway, he got 3rd place, it would work if he pushed resources to build army and join war at the end with strong army. He built great diplomacy but forgot military. Thats his great mistake, and he would won, but put to much trust in diplomacy ignoring anything else. Even green player didnt kill his king , with that way of playing he would be at 2nd but never won entire game
I honestly feel like Jon is the only one that CrazyCarter actually fooled. Everyone else knew exactly what he was doing but didn't care because they were trading with him and he was the bottom score.
I don’t think grey wasn’t even that smart, he could have killed those two villagers very easily before they killed his king. He wasn’t going to win with that economy and civ, he should have fought against either yellow or orange after purple died. He got lucky no one wanted to kill him due to his low score
jon was the only one winning the game as well, so you can safely say that getting fooled by grey guarantees victory - unless he actually wasn't the only one...
Grey keep saying "a lesson in diplomacy, never trust anyone" I think he missed the more important lesson here in this game, "protect your damned king!" 🗿
Since T90 didn't mention it, let me clarify what Grey tried to do when he turned on purple: He tried to replicate an epic mic drop moment from an older game, I think most of us would remember the moment, but for those who don't, this is the game (Regicide Rumble 4) : Explosive hopper tried again | RR4 1:20:17

As a software dev myself, I'll put it this way: Imagine you have to add a commentary track over a game recorded back in 2002, but you can't remember what the meta was back then, or what the balance differences were back then, and you don't know what the players were thinking. So you start talking about what you think the players should do, but they don't do that, so you kind of look like an idiot. Then they start building huge numbers of battering rams so you say "oh, this must have been the meta at the time" but then it's completely ineffective so it couldn't have been the meta so you look stupid again. Then you try to predict who might be the winner of this clusterbomb, but then the guy you thought was winning resigns and you look like an idiot again.
You should be able to test things to make sure they work though. Like I get that it would make patches take forever when dealing with legacy code, but you shouldn't be constantly releasing broken patches. Like I do forget to test random junk every now and then but they shouldn't be repeatedly releasing majorly broken patches consistently.
@@greatnate29Sorry for the late reply.. you forget how many variables exist outside of the game, just for a single feature to work you already have a dozen or so permutations of hardware and software and even then you don't test for all of them just a few that *might* represent every hw and software combination out there and hopefully no edge case bug happens in one of the combination left behind. And that goes on top of the in-game infinite possible behaviors that might cause memory leaks, crashes, glitches etc
Grey really hurt me in this. I thought they played so well with the diplomacy and faking everyone out. After they got gated in, I was really expecting once the fighting got going that they would send in woodcutters to cut the king out, that way they wouldn't set off any flags to orange while they were distracted. Or as Yellow suggested, get some petards. Was super disappointing, because I think they could have had a really good fighting chance in the final 2.
Literally all he needed to do was queue up 8 archers and march them over there. There would be nothing to see until it was too late and they could kill two villagers in no time.
RollerCoaster Tycoon was made in assembly, with C inserts (WinAPI hooks for open file window functionality), not binary. Nobody programs in binary since 1950's.
you could do a weekly event called "king of the week" where its a regicide game and the first person to kill a king wins, I think it could be fun to see what people try to do to get that first kill
Haha, gray was amazing in this, what a player - he perfectly recognized what seems to be the current community game meta (everyone into big alliances, no aggression for a while), but put himself into all the alliances on the whole map. Literally just larping an entirely different game in the chat, while doing nothing on the field. Great job, even though his lack of skill seemed to finally get him in the end. Doesnt even matter that most players probably just ignored him because he wasnt threatening: it still worked, and put him into top 3 without any problems.
I had literally just thought "Grey is over here playing The Game of Thrones" when you said if he was anyone he would be Littlefinger. Love it. I was really hoping Grey would win. He was such a legend. He should have pretended to launch on yellow so orange wouldn't kill him instead of pretending to launch on orange. The fight was happening on orange so he could have told orange he was counter-attacking yellow, while telling yellow he was coming to defend him from orange's possible counter attack. Basically, buy himself time for orange to fall and free his King, then he is already in yellow's base to attack once orange falls.
It's too bad how often people in these Community Games forget they have a nucleair bomb at their disposal, especially on a map like this where everyone is cramped up on an island...
Would have been super interesting to see grey try to get out of his hostage situation. That or truly allying with orange were his two outs and he didn't do either of them.
Someone in chat said it well. What gray was doing would have been so much cooler if he weren't trying to talk about it. He's probably imagining himself saying that as he slides the dagger into a trusted ally's belly, seeing the shock on their face as they struggle with disbelief with their last breaths. But talking about it just made him sound like an edgy 12-year-old.
this video is mistitled. This is definitely deserving of legend status. The Legend of CrazyCarter. Born of BlueCoffee. Edit: nevermind. Not saving his king after 10 minutes of being trapped though he couldve just sent some ranged units means he cant have that title yet, but his diplo was nuts.
The thing is, if Orange saw suspected a build up of ranged units, and I'm assuming grey didn't make archery, then he would have started to kill off the king before the units came close enough. Also same with a build up of petards, although grey could have garrisoned the petards in castle (I'm not sure if allys can look in other ally's castles). It was kind of a difficult position. I have to agree, I think grey should have at least tried to do something just after he typed Chaaarrrge.
When I saw "Seasons" and "Kings Cannnot Garrison" I died laughing because I thought you were calling the bug a seasonal feature. Next season we'll get walk-through walls again!

Gray is such a genius. He lied like a politician. Make people thought that he's helping but actually doing nothing. If he rescued his king and then go all out, he could have won like an underdog.
Man, gray making orange and yellow super paranoid near the end game was great. And purple missed a golden opportunity to explode his king onto yellow or gray near the end.
7:12 - Rollercoaster Tycoon being written in Assembly actually makes it super fucking portable. It will run on a potato with couple wires stuck in it. It will run on your microwave.
I was so hoping for grey to come out late with three commando teams to sneak up to the three kings while everyone was fighting each other and simultaneously kill 3 kings for the win.
It would have been funny if someone had made half a dozen extra Scouts & sent one to each base pretending it was the AutoScout & then surprise killed all the Kings at once. Risky play but legendary if successful.
It would be cool to get a rundown from the Capture Age people on what CA considers an effective action. For example, I'd like to know if queueing up 5 at a time would be counted as 1 action or 5. This might help with the whole credibility issue.
Does the monks conversion count as attacks? Does it ping on the minimap? Because if it doesn't, grey could have converted the villagers while orange was attacking elsewhere...
I was fully expecting gray to tell orange and yellow that he'd help defend their gates with putting a few units there, then quickly assassinating both kings while they were distracted with the battle.
The new patch retriggered a choppy sound bug on my laptop which gets fixed by a reinstall of the whole game from Steam. The suggested fix around hasn't worked for me (run an install of a legacy DirectX download). On desktop I haven't had this bug occur.
Left this match playing on the background while focusing on other stuff, so i'm lacking most of the context. Reaching now the 1 hour mark, it hurts to see that 3v1 against purple, had no idea how it even reached this situation. If it was me in his place, would sneak some villagers to build a dock on his island's east, make a transport ship, and nuke my king into yellow's shore. It most likely wouldn't cause his loss, but would cause enough damage on his structure, taking some towers and maybe castles, purely out of spite (:
Gray could just have sent his monk up to heal his king, or even made a couple more monks in his monestary. Had he done so, he would have stood a good chance of surviving orange's "betrayal".

I love in game chat, some of the most fun games I ever had happened with it. We once had a game that we decided to declare allegiance to almighty chocolate Ice Cream and went on a crusade against vanilla ice cream (guy we played game against had a name that included word vanilla in it). Than a guy from opposing team said that he does not like ice cream, so we went on to purge the heathen. Half of our team including me are either close to or over 30 years old, and we had amazing time.
As an engineer, I think the best way to think about code bases (and specifically spaghetti code bases) is to compare it to the law. As I live in the US and IANAL, these are just my impressions, but: - Code is similar to the law in that terms and definitions need to be highly precise/exact; if that exactness is incorrect in some way, all sorts of things can go wrong. What comes to mind is rich people using tax breaks which were meant for farmers to pay for their expensive equipment to buy giant SUVs. Things being just slightly wrong can cause all kinds of problems. - Additionally, laws are built in the context of other laws, and are typically additive. So, comparing that to code, usually when we code we have to always consider how our changes will impact existing systems (so, saved games? recorded games? network play systems?) - Laws are written with practical constraints in mind. And things are written into them to "work around" the practical problems. This is extremely true in code as well, where computation devices may have limited memory, processor speed, etc. Overall, there are a ton of parallels. I've been wanting to write this up some more, but I think this generally communicates the idea.
The main thing I forgot to point out is that its not simple to "refactor" code, or to "refactor" laws; large changes in any complex system virtually always has unintended consequences, and typically any change will make things worse before it gets better (if indeed it does get better, instead of actually just making things worse) So for a code base like aoe2 which was written years ago, lots of code was probably written in particular ways for efficiency purposes, and its very hard to make changes without unintended consequences. And, even simply making the code better is hard because again of unintended consequences.
And the hilarious part is him getting 3rd place through it. T90 went on and on how Carter/Grey should be doing more. But it worked. Grey got there by not playing the same game as everyone else. Grey was kept alive for trade in addition to bottom scoring. So what ended up happening is all the higher scorers were battling each other to preserve the trade lines. And the best part? You can blame paulhockey/green for setting up the whole alliance thing in the first place. Grey just picked up where green left off.
47:44 Huge demo Weird game. The favorite got taken out early and the one who did nothing stayed super long. 1:11:34 literally took this long for him to get called out. How did no one notice?
I know this is kind of old to be leaving any kind of relevant comment. I just wanted to say, I absolutely loved Grey in this. I wouldn't like to see alot of videos like this, but I found him rather clever.
What a rollercoaster of emotions this game was. Not being able to Garrison the king really F'd what could've been a much more exciting game. Pretty sure Grey would've been found out sooner.

He played it exactly as a diplomat. Purple was done, so he sent his army in at the last second to gain Oranges trust.

A king garrisoning compromise could be that if a king is in a castle his position is visible to everyone, so it's a tradeoff of defense vs. stealth.
I love in game chat, some of the most fun games I ever had happened with it. We once had a game that we decided to declare allegiance to almighty chocolate Ice Cream and went on a crusade against vanilla ice cream (guy we played game against had a name that included word vanilla in it). Than a guy from opposing team said that he does not like ice cream, so we went on to purge the heathen. Half of our team including me are either close to or over 30 years old, and we had amazing time.
T90 is wholesome and remembers his morals.
Characterization testing is the technique to use to avoid breaking functionality when maintaining legacy software.
I really hoped purple would think of sending his king to the far right of his island. I wonder if he would have taken yellow down with him that way 😂
Walk the king right up to yellows gate like, what? you gonna shoot? lol
As an engineer, I think the best way to think about code bases (and specifically spaghetti code bases) is to compare it to the law. As I live in the US and IANAL, these are just my impressions, but:
- Code is similar to the law in that terms and definitions need to be highly precise/exact; if that exactness is incorrect in some way, all sorts of things can go wrong. What comes to mind is rich people using tax breaks which were meant for farmers to pay for their expensive equipment to buy giant SUVs. Things being just slightly wrong can cause all kinds of problems.
- Additionally, laws are built in the context of other laws, and are typically additive. So, comparing that to code, usually when we code we have to always consider how our changes will impact existing systems (so, saved games? recorded games? network play systems?)
- Laws are written with practical constraints in mind. And things are written into them to "work around" the practical problems. This is extremely true in code as well, where computation devices may have limited memory, processor speed, etc.
Overall, there are a ton of parallels. I've been wanting to write this up some more, but I think this generally communicates the idea.
The main thing I forgot to point out is that its not simple to "refactor" code, or to "refactor" laws; large changes in any complex system virtually always has unintended consequences, and typically any change will make things worse before it gets better (if indeed it does get better, instead of actually just making things worse)
So for a code base like aoe2 which was written years ago, lots of code was probably written in particular ways for efficiency purposes, and its very hard to make changes without unintended consequences. And, even simply making the code better is hard because again of unintended consequences.
How is this not the "Legend of Crazy Carter"? Lol incredible
And the hilarious part is him getting 3rd place through it. T90 went on and on how Carter/Grey should be doing more. But it worked. Grey got there by not playing the same game as everyone else. Grey was kept alive for trade in addition to bottom scoring. So what ended up happening is all the higher scorers were battling each other to preserve the trade lines. And the best part? You can blame paulhockey/green for setting up the whole alliance thing in the first place. Grey just picked up where green left off.
47:44 Huge demo
Weird game. The favorite got taken out early and the one who did nothing stayed super long.
1:11:34 literally took this long for him to get called out. How did no one notice?
26:55: Lol resigned the game or resigned the job? Lmao.
I really need more CrazyCarter chat games.
Chivalry Medieval Warfare is my favorite game ever.
I like how this is a game of war but still they're still friends..
Crazycarter is the Lord Baelish of Age of Empires he was brilliant. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Omg lmao
I know this is kind of old to be leaving any kind of relevant comment. I just wanted to say, I absolutely loved Grey in this. I wouldn't like to see alot of videos like this, but I found him rather clever.
1:11:55 funniest part. CrazyCarter: charrrrrge!!!
What a rollercoaster of emotions this game was.
Not being able to Garrison the king really F'd what could've been a much more exciting game.
Pretty sure Grey would've been found out sooner.
