Fighting the First Crusade!

[Music] for the kong things for two months primeval things for eight speaking of cavalry archers when i heard of charge i was expecting sc2 zealot challenge mechanics 11. yeah i don't i don't think the path thing is good enough in h1 powers to do that but yeah that would have been it would have been something right passing and clumsiness of age of empires 2 makes that hard yo jimmy jesus thanks for the five uh five gift subs to the channel thank you very much for that we had zany with the five euro donation as well uh burke thanks for 500 bits everyone has their opinions which is good but we need to remember how much effort i put into work in the game and constantly passionate improving it like i said the effort is is not not in question right there's no you cannot question their efforts and their wish to make the game the best it can be right there is no question about that antonia agria thanks for the prime through blue indian thanks for six months uh which other unit then the coastal layer do you think will be nerfed for the next month thanks for making the last year bearable with your positive content you're welcome dude guys enjoy it so what do i think [Music] again i haven't played enough with the sergeant to have a proper opinion on that at least not enough in high level games you can say what are my opinions right now uh probably that i don't think unix necessarily will be changed besides the coastal layer but i think some text might be changed like first crusade instantly spawning 50 sergeants is just nonsense my suggestion for that would be make like the next 30 sergeant or something produced for free that would be a good way because then you have a tech that gives you a chance to produce 30 sergeants for free and also but you don't have instant spawn right you still have to produce them the issue with the thing right now is their instant spawn right and that also doesn't feel like asian empires to me at all oh that's a terrible meal well [ __ ] so that would be the i would suggest that at least instant spawning of units is just no no i i hate the flemish revolution honestly it's a fun it's gimmicky it's good for memes it's one way or another that tech finishes the game though right is that something you want in this game a technology that finishes the game like either like when when will you use that technology right you will use it upon having to defend and you feel like okay this is my last resort to defend i will have to do this upgrade and you sacrifice everything in order to try and survive and make a counter play but your the game depends on the success of that that means hey okay if this works i might have a chance to win if it doesn't i'm dead and the game is over no matter the outcome personally i don't think that's a good thing to have in a game secondly the other option would be like okay i have let's say you have 200 pop he has 150 pop you have 70 military he has like 30 military okay i will win this game now by simply overwhelming him because he cannot defend against against um he cannot defend against 200 military right now right due flemish revolution game is over you won and it's like okay is that really a good tech for a video game or an rts humans don't have instant spawn or 10k checks the way that kipcheck tech procurements work is that you have to produce them you can make the 10k check for free but you have to produce them which takes time yeah like personally i don't like all in tech like that so i think it's a bad thing to have in the game time is a resource absolutely i already open arches here instead of scouts i lost my scout so i don't feel like going auction scouts and i think he will go either sergeant tower rush something like dungeon rush he'll do something wacky i'm just gonna open some arches and then i want to transition to like uh carry archers later nice scouting thank you isn't this the best scouting we were destined on the path of death pretty much smooth for a good player oh dude you have no idea you have no idea you haven't watched this boy play you're missing out look i cannot do a scout anymore i don't know if he's there how weird is that i will not know if he's there until i've scouted so i do agree i think it was nikov who brought it up that removing the palace scout actually it makes losing scout to tc way like if you get way more punished for losing scout to tc because you don't you're not able to have any way of scouting anymore but then again that's the thing right losing your uh losing your scoutfield town center is your own fault for the most part so you deserve to be punished sort of [Music] still doing it even though it's patched i'm more uh worried about all the bugs that come with a mechanical change what mechanical change are you referring to 802 now it outposts certainly ethiopians is the best thing guys because you know i need to make outposts jordan is typing yes in team game 2k oh boy team games after this game guys let's go uh let me just get over what i missed here uh doug alberto thanks for two months earlier by the way so happy to have found the channel of the snake big fan thanks for coming welcome to it thanks for coming by uh and the mandarin thank you for three months and shinji max thanks for the seven i know like this you should never do this never move out with three arches but i have a feeling he's not actually doing anything so it's kind of why we're just testing the waters right now it feels to me like this is just a fast castle sort of built but you can do that because i lost my scout right i don't have any way of punishing him but i did go fairly greedy myself i mean the big thing i didn't do i guess is that i you know what i can punish him here this stone the big thing i didn't do here is actually i don't even need villagers forward to punish him i should not have done plus one armor on my arches but besides that i went for eco upgrades and everything myself so i don't want him to take the stone right because then he can drop a castle and do the first crusade foreign hey i haven't seen stepland series in almost a year i would love to see a full mango terrorist staff lens to play much love i think the step lenses are most viable with right now are tatters i think they are the uh step dances right now to be fair they already the everything sieve so how does the accuracy of projectiles feel now uh i i don't have too much on that yet i haven't played enough with gunpowder to have a proper opinion on that yeah give me give me another week to play with with these units and we'll see so i want to punish i want to make sure you cannot take the stone right that's the main thing he's gonna try and expand on it now so lucky that i cannot fully deny it but we will have some cow watches out on the [Music] why did he delete that either for the scorpion to go out or for him to drop a town center here can definitely still be punished though [Music] oh i have a good day i think it would paladin's team to you [Music] tv not sure he's coming forward with one scorpion madman yes i thought so [Applause] [Music] okay one way or another me [Music] she's still on it okay yes he's already dropping a castle that's bad that's really bad i'm gonna be fighting 50 sergeants but it's already oh yeah true freaking bonus 100 faster building well [ __ ] 50 sergeants are gonna spawn in a little bit uh [Music] that doesn't make sense anymore we are into i mean i'm behind the eco anyway right and then i'm gonna also be having to fight 50 sergeants soon i will not enjoy this i think i should go for summer i'm interested to see though how difficult it is to stop it we will know trust me just pay attention to his score we will know how much he has or when they come oh there we go the score changed [Music] they're pretty slow though right [Music] i mean they don't seem like a scary unit when i have cavachers but they're gonna buy him a lot of time considering that he has three tc's [Music] himself post amp mega tank yeah i've heard people say that they're very very good imposed in privilege that's uh the place i don't have enough experience with this unit yet but the issue behind this for me now is that at the same time as this is all happening he's also he has untouched eco behind his base right so even though it looks like i'm trading well my score is climbing you know doesn't look too bad when you look at a deeper picture or bigger picture it's not as pretty as it seems okay i would say we're entering a game where the score definitely lies because you should have a roughly i would say 30 village elite and that's not a situation you want to be in the only reason my score is equal now is because i killed all his 50 sergeants you guys look at the bigger picture look at the deeper picture that's it a tunnel thank you for tuning bits by the way tunnel rat then i'm thought thanks for the seven months or months better early castle edge though early castle though compared to exactly what what you're referring to i've been housed for five minutes that is true sicilians don't have any good options though and the terrible tech trees with eq advantage doesn't mean as much as we are says well if if what you guys are saying regarding the sergeant that it's super tanky and open imperilage if that's the case then he does have options right because according to how this should work now you should have a way better economy than us for long term no matter what he should have a better eco and then that means he should get to imperialize faster this faster that faster you know just uh regular i will have a bigger standing army now and we are gonna have to see if we can actually utilize this for anything but as i said again he has had time enough now to the point where i think i think there's always going to be a castle in front of this oh yeah he has switched to skirms even right let's drop this university he has switched to skirm so he's taking the he's using his equally now to make counter units pretty much [Music] at some point and again he has a castle up as well so i think if you want to actually try to counter this it's all about pressure before you can get his castle up obviously in this case i lost my i lost my scout so i had no scouting until and it was super easy for him to just go fast castle unpunished i think about you my skirms uh feels pretty bad but the the jury is still out but yeah i'm not impressed how do we punish this right i could have added eco earlier obviously myself i went for one pc siege catwatcher play i think the next question will be when will it he hit imperial age that'll be our next obstacle to try and deal with [Music] big castle ram play and i don't think that is likely to work he's also collecting relics there they are there is i do have enough control still for time beings i could take some important hills but i think he's picked up now [Music] like does this hill make sense though considering that he will be up before us i think this hill is more likely to be successful [Music] but then again he's already got the castle there maybe even further [Music] atheism rush that that affects relics now right so it's actually not that useless anymore actually not only i'll use this upgrade who would've thought uh that's a castle there too i wonder how tarkins do against sergeants my guess would be not very good okay do you know it's probably insane probably i guess what makes sense is a star [Music] character we gotta wait for our okay that's a lot of resources gotta wait for our [Music] our beautiful english word herbal medicine that's it i guess castles everywhere man and they build in 10 i would seconds a relic advantage for time being i will hit imperialist for tuna pop it's not all bad [Music] i'm not sure i like what i'm doing here i'm building all my production buildings forward which could very easily get punished here it's gonna be annoying get it up [Music] oh did pick off those initial fabs that's good [Music] it's not looking too bad oh even a relic there so i'm actually gonna have four relics [Music] looks surprisingly good in the end so he wants to just go for raiding gameplay for time being think i can rate him too much yet because of the situation with with his castles everywhere [Music] just gotta hope they don't last forever and then i start forcing some actual fights he does have lead sergeants but i also have a really good character mess so i mean you'd imagine that i should be looking decent still it lives you kidding me oh my god okay our question is upgrade upgrade prioritization i guess i should go for heavy i characters to win red bull four with cow watchers i cannot repeat what the lord has done already yes copyright on that i'm afraid should go atheism he only has two relics and one relic i don't think me going atheism is worth it right i'm annoyed by these raids now this little castle there yeah let's see how the tech three of the sicilians play out now oh that's not nice so they have what 15 attack eight pierce armor i got one trap i almost like to lose this they were doing a good job or trading well though yeah this side this is definitely a goner they don't seem overly impressive in these small engages but then again obviously this is a very small sample of engagements [Music] i do have time on my side though with my extra goals right now some hunts i don't need i can probably get by with 106 villages here as long as i have relics and mouth control [Music] wait true they have the same armor as molly and champion yeah pretty nuts yeah my character should trade so well to the point where where it's not a problem for me that he has but he tries to raid all the time i think we're in a very good spot this is so bad lately i mean they still have the whole the whole bonus of like taking less damage and things like that from counter units right they still have those things but yeah the question is how good are they really i think this is still again just like the last game i think it goes to show that the new sims aren't necessarily broken they just have certain texts that makes make them extremely gimmicky and strange to play so to say [Music] that's a very good fight for him [Music] one example of the sergeants being [Music] tankyaf how expensive is a sergeant six to twelve six to thirty five more seconds okay that should be fine i'm still i'm losing some bills but i'm still trading well and i my coworker numbers aren't dwindling and in a game like this your game is pretty much based around your character numbers as long as they stay alive you're fine i would like to get my foodie rolling a little bit better though [Music] [Music] what hans don't have herbal medicine how sad is that why would a civilization not have herbal medicine that's just sad i cannot win this game until he is completely out of gold because the sergeants seem like they are just trading very well against her star in particular so once he's out of gold is when i kind of can start to plan to win the game okay i'm reaching a point where i could consider hustar as well uh no hustler tarkin why not go full paladin i don't have that much goals he's trying to raid me but like the raids don't really bother me that much i build up a bigger even bigger army that will be um destroyable for him when the time comes so i think we have enough now to start like forcing the issue so we will place uh armina on the hill in his face so he cannot ignore the threat anymore and just go for the raids he's actually gonna have to fight me hello you can find losing some oh the trap is alive what traffic is still alive what the value he's gonna sniper with skirms it's two hp trip let's go that's a crazy trebuchet now we repair it no it went down i just don't think he will ever be able to kill this army i'm down to 73 villagers meaning i have almost 130 army that's a big army imagine if i had this position and i had flemish flemish revolution right i would just now make all my villagers army and then i would attack and there's no way he can win the game ever which is what makes it just a uh win or lose technology all right let's dive in [Music] [Music] actually not trading too great here in fighting sperms so it does make sense but still [Music] all right so first crusade is counterable let's have a look at sicilians here again i really think this bonus is shouldn't be there uh that's not wrong right i think this bonus is too strong i think town stands and castle should not be 100 faster because um castle's building built a hundred percent faster is just too fast but i'm thinking more towards normal balance as well right uh sicilians town center go up so fast you're gonna have such a big lead on every other civilization so personal opinion right now is that this should probably be lowered to maybe 50 something like that i think with 50 i mean you still build faster than spanish bills even town center so 15 per age that could be an interesting one her age is actually an interesting one yeah i like that uh landmark units receive 50 less bonus damage maybe this should be tweaked to 33 ish farmer chris for extra food campbell don john that is fine first crusade i think should make the next 30 sergeants free of free of cost but not spawn that's my opinion scootage i don't have enough experience with yet i think in return you could possibly consider giving them thumb ring and make their arbiters play a little bit more viable because i think they need some compensation i mean they're stable is also terrible right i mean the knights are still very powerful and cavalier because they don't take as much damage from pikemen and helps so the stable is not as bad as it seems the siege is pretty solid dock is solid sergeants are good can't nerf nerf everything though yeah of course of course i just think these bonuses are a little bit too high to begin with i think if you make first crusade next third is sergeants free of cost this castles and town centers let's just put a flat 50 rate on that and 33 percent on land military units and give them thumb rings i think they will be a very good very solid sieve let me check the monastery i haven't looked properly at that monastery not good so i read in chat someone said they're all in clown civ and now when i think clown i think arena and one crushes and such yeah pretty sick kd so yeah their monastery was not impressive all right so this is where he does first crusade he has twice my village account at at this point or 75 more it's the tech tree that like i feel like what if he just goes full sergeant in imperial age don't i die let me just tell them i'm coming i mean i still have a bit i have a big army which means i have cow watches to defend for time being but still my economic disadvantage is still big enough that where i feel like i mean but this is the thing right i have a big army castle age so the transition to imp is smoother for me he doesn't have any army going to imp so it takes time for him to get going still so with a weak tech tree it does make sense that he struggles still to get a foothold on the game it's it's interesting i'm i still honestly cannot say that i'm 100 made up on my my mind sicilians obviously still early days but i still think some of what i said could be a good way to adjust them but i just don't like the whole um instant spot the biggest issue i have with them is the instant spawn of 50 sergeants that's the biggest one i dislike
