Malay Please, how to delay>?
Have you done vikings yet?
How about a video on how to beat Persians since everyone picks them now.
britons plez
Indians!
i play the Mongols just to hear the badass throat singing when the game starts.
the hu intensifies
@@shepherdoffire5851 *Huun Huur tu is where it's at. Unless you aren't a folk rock fan like me ;)
Doge of Greatness just searched some video and it was awesome
@@nevernever-ry8vu tell me all about it.
@@dogeofgreatness2222 Well actually I am Chinese. And I knew "Khoomei" is one special form singing of Mongolian, but google tell me what Huun Huur tu performs is a form of low voice Khoomei... I am still a bit of confused. Anyway, kzhead.info/sun/Zraqg5GEmGVoZY0/bejne.html this video demonstrates the form of music that comes to my mind at the first moment.

Wow at that swarm of Mangudai. Feels like a decent simulation of how the Mongol conquests actually went, although they were probably a tiny bit faster.
-Nnooooo you can't just ride in circles around my infantry and shoot them with arrows in an blink of an eye without ever getting hit -*HUURRRRMMMMMMMMMHHH*
Really liking this series! Finding it really useful :) loving the gameplay demos.
Great Game! I just started playing as the Mongols recently. Your video is very helpful. I would love to see “So you want to play as Cumans!” 😊 Thank you for all that you bring to the community.
hey Hera, love the videos. I would love to see an italian overview as they seem to have a ton of good counter options with the various bonuses and multiple unique units :)
Wow, amazing civ! Love the series now. Thanks a lot Hera
really helpfull vods, Hera. Helps when someone explaines the civs ingame. Please go on with this series.
Again, beautifully played from both sides. Thank you for sharing
36:58 - need an action replay of that golden Mangonel shot. Those things can put the fear of god into an archer ball.
IN-SANEEEEEEEEEEEE hahahaha nice to watch these series, all the explanation during the on going game, it's pretty nice and I like it!
Love this series men! U are currently my favorite top player to watch
44:12 - the stats clearly reveal that the single mangonel shot at 36 min changed the balance of power for good! incredible stuff going on..
the single mangonel shot was excellent. but what changed the balance of power was his mangudai. they raided constantly (quick and with almost 100% accuracy) and they wiped out any seige the other dude brought. i've played mongols thousands of times. it's the mangy-dogs AKA mangudai.
Great video! I'd like to see *ITALIANS* ! They are very versatile in every map. Even if they aren't a top civ, they have good eco and water bonus. I'd like to know how to use perfectly genoese crossbowmen and condottieros! Incredible units, but rarely used! In my opinion there is a lot of potential.
Great video!! Hussar and Mangudai combo is deadly. Could you please do Berbers next time as I'm wondering how their UU Camel Archer compares to the Mangudai and plus would love to hear your thoughts on the civ overall. Thanks! Keep it up!
Byzantine... Difficult civ to play with...
Incas! 2 unique units plus Eagles -- what do you do with them other than vil/tower rush?
incas it is!
Hera - Age of Empires 2 yoo hera you’re a beast
You make a good teacher as well
speaking of incas, if they get to imperial they seem to kind of hard counter mongols with 10 pierce armor eagles.... especially when you're nub like me and forget that and tech into champs xD
@@PabloEscobar-vh6jq o
Those onager snipes at the end were just a master class
These videos are absolutely awesome dude, thank you so much.. Loving it - cannot wait for more! My vote is Britons
franks! also thanks for all the uploads! watched you win today in the redbull cup!
Thank you Hera. Personally I think you are the best teacher amongst all pro streamers for noobs
Love this video! Love your enthusiasm
Love these videos! When would you consider building the FU Champions as Mongols? Is it only vs Goths or Byz?
Really educational. Good job!
This is my fav CIV. Thanks!
Love the video thanks man this was educational
Aztecs please. Also, congrats on your victory over Nicov. That gate trap, oh my god.
36:58 Finally a mangonel shot that delivers :D
Frank scouts into knights - so common in low ELO
I want to know how the berry bonus changes the build
That's the best way to play Franks though... how would you do it differently?
@zonda_r2 If you watch pro games they generally 'play to the meta', because scouting is good enough that they'll know what their opponent is up to. Most pro games I've seen w Franks, esp in tournaments, they play scouts into knights.
@zonda_r2If you're playing someone who doesn't scout then maybe you have a semblance of a point
@zonda_r2 That sound like a very nooby game tbh. No decent player would build 2 stables in the feudal age and not make cav. Too much of a waste. In the time it would have taken to build 2 stables the other player would would also likely have some military production and/or walls.
27:50 gives me hope to one day become a decent age player as well 11
Amazing game Bro thank you, brutal comeback
Portuguese! I can’t be the only one that wants to see feitora? (Loving the series, this is the best one yet)
Persians. Thank you for your videos, I really like your style. I copied a lot of your hot keys. Comsidering you use of "wsad" micro movement of the screen what how do you manage aggresive/defensew/stand ground and the formation in "milatery commands"
thanks for this gameplay !
how about inca? i am always confused what is good to do and how i should use the upgrades on villagers
They help with tower rushing, also slingers is the best anti infantry in castle age
I want to see how you should actually play Byzantines, sometimes I feel a bit lost even though I love the civ
People always say try Byzantines, saying it is so easy and stuff. I think it can be hard since, most people attack from the beginning of the game.
What do you think about about using stone walls instead of palisades right from the start? In my opinion in early feudal wood is more scarce/needed than stone and walling stone saves you some villager time later, as you don't need to add house-walls etc. Also more secure for remote locations. It seems to work quite well for me, but there might be some tradeoffs, ofc in castle age there will be some delay with castles etc.
I usually think if mongols first tech means you can make big walls with your houses early game where no one can get to you in specific maps and once you hit your castle age you gained the pop limit for a very big solid wall advantage " or some shit like that"
I would love to see how to play Malay next. I think most beginners (like me) do not know how to take advantage of the faster up time bonus!
I LOVE this series. Please keep doing it and please do Ethiopians eventually!
hey Hera - love the series and all your content in general. It would be great if you could do something similar for maps - e.g. "So you want to play oasis". I love playing random maps in the ranked queue and not banning too many , but I wish I had a better idea of how to play some of the newer maps in the queue and get your thoughts on what the best civs are, different ways of playing the map etc. keep up the great stuff!
Thanks Hera - good video! I wish you'd take Q's at the end as well. Inca/Byz/Malians next time please!
Very entertaining video! :D
Cheers Hera! Thanks for the content. I vote Slavs!
Now I want to See Drill bombard cannons :D
Thank you for the clear explanation. Could you please do a Byzantine play for us defensive noobs? XD
I really want to see Bulgarians! Especially with the recent rework
never forget the cavalary speed tech to better micro enemi mangonels
Fun series to watch and learn. Can you do one with the vikings?
Mongol Hussars are ridiculously good as a meat shield. 112hp for an 85 food trash unit is tremendous. Their downside, that they don't get the last Cav upgrade, is largely irrelevant in the face of so much extra health; they can take an entire extra hit from a Halberdier, something that armor doesn't afford. Plus, Mongols is terrifyingly fun; faster Rams feel so natural to use, Mangudai/CavArch are easy for a beginner learning to use control groups, the comp doesn't have a hard counter, and they have useable options like Camels or Steppe Lancers depending on the need for counters and availability of gold. A great 'first main' Civ.
stone walls underrated, really. specially to early rushes. i wond forget after this game, thanks to you , i win 5 game in a row with mongols . now im 1100
Yay my fav civ!
i just have done a presentation about the genetic lecay of Mongols... is this a perfect follow up
I would like to see Teutons. Nice series btw.
28:20 when u have to turn *super saiyan while training because things got out of hand *bring out the big guns/quick wall so to speak
i am beginner, thankyou for those tutorials
great stuff
When those mongolian onagers and rams charge at you, better watch out.
36:58- AND I JIZZED, IN, MY PANTS.
I know this is more related to today's update as opposed to the video, but thoughts on Teutonic Knights actually being feasable now?
WOW, stunning
How would you deal with the same situation but vs an archer civ where his big crossbow ball becomes arbs early imperial before you and he pushes?
36:59 that mangonel hit won him the game
would love to see some civs from african kingdoms. they are rarely seen in pro play cause of meso-american or strong eurasian.
36:59 That delete... Who've watched hill bonus video?
Mongols is my favorite civ, despite their weaknesses, they are the most fun Civ for me. Mangudais are so nice to use
What would be most useful for me is a "So you want to play AOE2:DE with 3 kids under 5?" video. Will you cover the latest patch notes?
The Lionsssss LOL....
Great Khan
Would you play the Spanish rather similarly if you wanted to go Conqs in Castle Age?
Would love Celts next
magyars would be dope, free cav tech, but how do you transition smoothly into late game cav archer/castle units?
Mongols, the best at mounting siege and taking out siege
Can you do So you want to play Malay? What is there besides post-imp swordsmen spam and good navy?
The cheap elephants can be really devastating in early castle age if you also go monks to convert back your elephants. Not something you want to make long term though.
they have FU arbs and monks
Saracens please! The market bouns seems so fun.
Vikings please. Great series so far.
About no mad "africa one did not see the rest" i saw a million animal in the map and it made me wonder if mongols can stay for a very decent/long while without farms because of it since they gather food much faster from hunt it does feel like a mill is always worth dropping for 400-500 fast food and it can be done with a single vil for deer
Celts, Celts, Celts next!
Aztecs next plx! I am not able to play the monk siege push to full potential!
Next civ: most friendly beginner With poor Walter Style so we play More Land maps. Great job!
Thank you Hera for the video. I never thought mixing champ' with Mangudais in post-imp cause never pay attention there were fully upgraded, hum. What do you think about cav archers in the game? They are almost never played in castle age (only Huns players really use them). I tried them several times as magyars or tatars and I really think they need a buff. IMO, the delay before the first shot make them painfull to micro. I think they should have the same as Mangudai to be more used. I don't think they will be overpowered because you can't mass them in feodal as archers and they need a lot of upgrades to start being anything else than a raiding pack. I'm curious to know what you think about this.
Celts!
Wuddup Twitch!
Hope u can do this for all civ
36:59 BADABOOM
The most important question though... What is the best looking civ color for mangudai?
You must do Khmer, they are the most unusual civ!
What was the build order please?
I think that covering the aztecs next could be an awesome idea~
Do Aztecs next! The master race!
Hahaha which AoE guru asked Hera what he wants to know about Mongols :')
What do you think about late game Goths vs Mongols?
That Mangonel shot was so awesome xD
would be nice if u could *shortly* mention the HD and DE bonus differences - as many of us are still too stingy to pay 20 bucks. - and Teutons :)
If you haven’t got it yet, it’s worth it. Includes all the expansions content that costs much more than $20 for HD, as well as better GFX (although you will need an actual computer if you were running on some integrated graphics potato). Larger community, and overall feels more clean
@@gavinfors5934 yup, I bought it - but it runs at about 1 fps on my potato.. ah well. just gotta wait a while until I can upgrade my rig.
I recommend watching the video on 0.75 speed :)
It’s really tough for me to understand what you’re saying. Idk if it’s the mic or talking to fast…but it’s tough. And I can tell you’re saying very important information
Interesting
Need to know how to utilize strong eco bonus civs - Slavs most importantly!
Utkarsh Sinha there are lots of civ specific build orders, have a look and it could give you and idea of how to utilise the eco bonuses
Amazing vid, RIP those lions tho xD
