That's the power of hotkeys. For example, I recently learned about putting one to all tcs (and that works for the starting one aswell) for the vill queue, and the usefullness of it to keep the vill production while you are attacking without changing the sight. And because of that I realized that Hera uses it that way (watch it when he starts attacking red, and adds some vills in the tc - up to the left - but you dont see the cam showing it, because of the method that i said)

Were there any rules like no scout/vil rush? Cause honestly wouldn't the four of them just be able to send their scouts to Hera's base and kill all his vils or guard his resources so vils couldn't get near him? Then it's just a waiting game until the four of you build up and attack as a group. The least they could have done was take out a few vils to set him back. Edit: This is all just theory as I'm new to the game. Awesome vid and I've been watching your channel trying to learn the game. Love the content. ✌
@MCKhanstent Жыл бұрын
The skill difference is too wide for this to be effective anyway. Hera is very good at defending so he would have not lost any vils much, and he was first in Feudal. At this elo the four opponents would not be able to micro much, or at the expense of their eco to the extend that it would not have been worth it. I think there are several simple improvements that would make the game much harder for Hera. Like only one of them made skirmishers (and late) when Hera was full archers (skirms counter archers). Going men at arm late vs archers is another mistake (archer counter men at arms, and men at arms are only good as a rush). Walling earlier and going to military earlier would have helped too (at 4v1 they naturally have more eco/pop, they mainly need to avoid taking damage). And as you pointed out coordination was also missing.

And because of that I realized that Hera uses it that way (watch it when he starts attacking red, and adds some vills in the tc - up to the left - but you dont see the cam showing it, because of the method that i said)
me too man, me too, wtf is going on?

Hera microing his xbows against a palisade like a god
That palisade never stood a chance
That's the experience of a pro shining through. He's lost too many games before because he took his eyes off a palisade only for it to get the jump on his archers.
Back when I was a noob I fought 7vs1 against Tatoh and we lost lol
@Ankush Thakur na not really, people over all have just increased there gameplay.
I played this game religiously when I was 5-6 years old. I just remembered it existed and it took me forever to even find out what it was called. I dont think I never found out about pvp/pve. Just had fun watching the little guys so wherever I clicked. Can't wait to start playing again
Hope you have fun! I played as a kid and I still play now and then
lol, I'm 800 ELO, but back in the early 2000's I 1v3ed my friends and destroyed them. My brother was super pissed because we spawned next to each other and he was the first person I destroyed. I was all about the mangudai rush, kill all villagers, retreat, then come back and destroy the base. After that they banned AoE II at LAN parties.
mangudai is not rushing ....... usually comes out by imperial age
A buddy and I beat 4 extreme AI on Arabia. We were controlling the same team. We called it a 1.5 v 4 victory.
You could also call it half a hera vs 4 😂
How do you do that? I always wonder if I could beat someone like Hera if there were two "me's", one on macro, one on micro. The answer is Hera because I do very little micro. Maybe I could beat a top player, but not Hera, Lierrey, or Viper.
@@ringofasho7721 We did a tower rush. The dark age is pretty easy. In feudal age we actually divided controlling the army and shared eco. So each of use were attacking 2 players. The AI is bad at handling a tower rush.
Didn't Viper try this exact challenge all the time and failed?
@@timothymurray677 what is a tower rush?
Looks like we found the elo where players know about builds but not counters.
Wouldn't say people know the builds at elo below 1k , sometimes even a 11xx doesn't know
@@theBeT95 If they try hard they know. Most likely due to playing the art of war. I'm really new to this game and at 80 hours I can finally beat ai on hardest. I didn't know counters at first, but knew build orders.

I'd like to see an analysis of games like this to determine how many clicks and troop movements are made that are entirely unnecessary. Like clicking 20 times on the town center to build a villager when they don't have enough food. Seems like they're making it a lot more chaotic than it needs to be.
It's to keep your APM up so you don't lose focus.
It helps to keep the mind stimulated and keep you in the zone
APM is important for MOBA players as well as RTS players. Watching LS or pros play League is like watching them have a seizure xD
Yeah it's just all about keeping a fast pace going. It become muscle memory at a point
@@gregallan4291 What is APM bro?
thanks for keeping this game alive i started my video game journey by watching my uncle play this game, am so happy this game is still a thing in 2023 i loved this game sooo much
This is the best thing I have ever seen. This is better than Regicide Rumble, exploding villagers, or anything. We need more of these challanges.
On a much more interesting ginormous realistic map it would be much better.
Very much respect for 1vs4! It's so pleasing to watch! Can't wait for more!😍
Loved this game. Keep those coming! Impressive work
The micro really reminds me of league and dota, you almost control the entire group of crossbow like a ranged carry and positioning is everything
such a wonderful match. subscribed man, thanks a lot for it
Make more such videos!! Really enjoyed watching 😀
I watched this video over a year ago and found it incredible of your speed and such. Still find it incredible
"It's a 1v4, it's just business" Lmao
This is nuts. I would never want to play this serious. He’s just nonstop clicking
Not even Hera can do it against 4 extreme AI. Humans and specially this type of elos, don't reach the level of intense destruction, build capacity and resistance AI has.

These are great and I hope you do them more, maybe with twitch-subs so you can aim at Sum ~3k elo (either 1vs3 or 1vs4), would be really fun to see what you limit 'Sum Elo' is (and also what is harder, 3 players at 1k or 4 players at 750, how about 2 players at ~1500?) Cheers
could try 1 player at 2500 and 5 players at 100 elo
@@guanxizheng1418 Not sure if you're serious, but even I can beat 5 500 elo players. They at least have to have a good concept of the dark age or they fall too far behind and die to a rush
2 1500s completely impossible.
one 700 elo can defeat two 400 elo players easy. Belive me guys, the youtube concept of a begginer in aoe 2 is not right at all.....
been watching aquafps play aoe2 and ive been really wanting to play but I have no real knowledge of the game so ive been watching different aoe2 videos you are by far the craziest player ive seen so far hard to even keep up with what you're doing
I miei complimenti, ottima partita... :-) Non sono un Pro e ti ringrazio perché ho imparato molto guardandoti giocare. Buona fortuna per le prossime sfide.
One thing i love about this kind of games is to witness and enjoy the battles. But being a pro looks more like clicking all over the map i could barely see anything even though i know it will work...
I love how the archer micro is exactly like playing an ad carry in league of legends down to accidentally cancelling attacks. That macro was nuts though
Good and fun game, @Hera, loved it.
This was really fun to watch.
It’s the speed and efficiency of the build from from the start that sets the pros apart. Of course, use of troops, but it’s the aggressive build up that defines foundation of skill imho
thats incredible i play since the start of de 1v2 and 1v3 against 3 friends (rated 1.3-4 ish) winning the 1v2s like 20% of times (earlier i won more often) the 1on3 i only won 2 times yet (we play nomad meantime) 1v4 i would have any chance so i pull my hat hera good job
LMAO! Why the f would someone unsub due to this game? It was my first time watching you and if I were that type of person, I'd sub to you just because of this video!
Hahahahaha, this is the single most entertaining game I've EVER WATCHED!!! :)
The background sounds of selecting people and moving them to work are like bunch of frogs shouting in a pond in rain
Congrats for your first video with a million views 🎉
On any island or fortress map, byzantine empire.. I used to do 1v7 Expert. No gamer but I did play this from it's creation to about 2007 when I stopped playing video games but this was the best.
I start to think going pro at any game other than this is easy after watching this, like he doesn’t take break
I love that you use effectively the same strat that is used to cheese extreme ai 111
best strategy: 1 go for dark age aggression, 1 go for scouts, 1 go for archers, 1 go for FC Knights. No way Hera could win.
just guard his resources and you win by attrition. Red was wiped out without any of the other players trying to apply pressure.
I mean seriously. All you need to do is have some kind of feudal aggression and in a 4v1 it doesn't matter how good the player is you just simply can't deal with it.
@@thesnackbandit haha yeah any sort of aggression really

1 MILLION VIEWS CONGRATS HERA 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Holy hell...I've only every watched T90 casts on youtube, never seen from an actual player's POV...I got dizzy. How do you keep all of your units straight in your head?! The apm is insane!
Maybe a dumb question… but what would have happened if at the very beginning they sent all 4 of their scouts against him? Would that just be an insta scrush that he wouldn’t have been able to deal with? Was there a treaty in place?
if they could micro the scouts well and he screws up his eco would get destroyed. but with their skill level, the scouts would probably just die
a better strat would be tc dropping him with 4 players
Scouts are very weak in the dark age. A loomed villager can kill a dark age scout
@@alperisler89hat would actually be funny 😂 his only counter would be to delete his TC and run away or something 😂😂

"I will try not to lose a single unit" in the first 23 seconds. In all honesty, it could be my depression speaking, but beeing that kind of cocky is a whole new level to me.
I don't even play this game. But your plays each time, very clever manipulation of all functions LOL
Watching this brings me so much nostalgia
To be a good player you do not need to click like this guy every second you just need a solid strategy!
I know this, but i´m still bad at this game
Good strategy won't bring you far if you can't micro and macro

Thinking about hera nations cup 2015 getting benched sometimes
Wouldn’t happen anymore he became such a beast
The Link to k1 Channel in description is not working, since his account is suspended
I havent played AOE2 since middle school. I wonder how good i would be after watching T90, SOTL, and multiple pros for the last couple years.
Bro. the way this guy is playing gaves me headache, its soo awesome
Were there any rules like no scout/vil rush? Cause honestly wouldn't the four of them just be able to send their scouts to Hera's base and kill all his vils or guard his resources so vils couldn't get near him? Then it's just a waiting game until the four of you build up and attack as a group. The least they could have done was take out a few vils to set him back. Edit: This is all just theory as I'm new to the game. Awesome vid and I've been watching your channel trying to learn the game. Love the content. ✌
The skill difference is too wide for this to be effective anyway. Hera is very good at defending so he would have not lost any vils much, and he was first in Feudal. At this elo the four opponents would not be able to micro much, or at the expense of their eco to the extend that it would not have been worth it. I think there are several simple improvements that would make the game much harder for Hera. Like only one of them made skirmishers (and late) when Hera was full archers (skirms counter archers). Going men at arm late vs archers is another mistake (archer counter men at arms, and men at arms are only good as a rush). Walling earlier and going to military earlier would have helped too (at 4v1 they naturally have more eco/pop, they mainly need to avoid taking damage). And as you pointed out coordination was also missing.
it's like art watching you play, thx bro. now i'm gonna go uninstall my aoe2 and pretend i've never played this game #cheers
I love that animated intro
Holy fuck the scout herding the ostrich was next level.
The Viper did 1v5 for Extreme AI. He won by using a constant spam of archers. I pulled up the video.

hera was blazed on some keef for this match
Is it common for people to play without having "Explored" selected, I think I did that literally one time and determined I was never going to play again where I legitimately had to scout with my horse and sheep.
So I installed AOE 2 and searched gameplay guide. Well this was not I was expecting.
Beginners are generally just as good as the standard AI so i bet Hera could handle 7 players at once easily.
is this video sped up? is this how this game is meant to be played? (i1ve never played, i watch t90 cuz it's an interesting game to watch, first time here in this channel.)
