3:19 "There are waterfall effects you can get from the Editor" - yes T90, we did get them from your editor, thanks Hardy 11

9:18 My bro used to beat me in Aoe 2 all the time so I made a custom scenario that looked like a regular black forest( his favorite map) little did he now I made siege onagers spawn and attack him once every 10 minutes game time. LOL

Looks like it doesn't get up the hills but will go over flat land

[NighT-WolF]

These maps really pushing and expanding the limits of AoE2. I love them. All we need now is a combination of natural disaster and tiny maps for ultimate chaos. 😁

"There's TONSSS of water and tons of... fish in the sea...
or so my mom told me p.q" Threw in a fun fact there! Hahahaha xD

It would probably harder to do than it seems, but it would be funny to attach this idea to your exploding kings and finally make the exploding king tsunami after a water death come true

[ThatsOneNiceKitty]

I wish they could make it so the water recedes (turns to land tiles) and reveals key resources that everyone would scramble to get before the water comes back as a tsunami and destroys everything.

Previous maps were cool, but that one is the whole new level. I didn't knew something like that was possible. Looks amazing.

As someone who has found you this month, I am thankful for the algorithm recommending you. I have never played a game of AoE once in my life and yet your commentary is captivating and enjoyable. Thank you for the content. (Been watching videos from as far back as 3-4 years)

This map is so sick! I hope that someday it will be extended into bigger version for community games.

By the way, I've got a thought about "hard mode" tsunami, in which timer is changed at the match start by 0-2 minutes, so there is less prediction or wrong weather forecast for players who made their builds from precise timing.

In real life tsunamis are pretty safe on the water and dangerous on land.

Between volcano, earthquake and tsunami I think this is my favorite map, the wave is sooo cool

1:20 Overfishing has really hurt the salmon population

[raynightshade]

All these disasters are making me wish T90 would cast some AOM

[Astronaughts]

This is my favorite of these natural disaster maps. Just wish we could download them!

[DaveHcontrarian]

This would be cool on a larger "White Cliffs of Dover" type of map, but with a lot of randomization of where the tsunami strikes, then you would have the sort of weather that sank the Spanish Armada that was attacking the Elizabethian empire.

[thebakermaker]

Cool map, I would say the corners need to be connected by shallows so you can have some comeback with land if the water gets one sided

[R-Rova]

This looks nuts, wonder how high ranking players would play maps like these

[sarahkatherine]

As far as I can see how the tsunami works is it sweep everything on the sea level, and get block by terrain elevation. So the 6 small gold/relic islands are hit because they are on the same elevation as the water, but the 2 forward islands block part of it thank to elevation. The embankment on each player's mainland also block it (since it is +1 elevation).
When playing against the AI I built outposts on the far side of the big island and can see the waves pretty soon.

I’d like to see the tsunami more randomized so people don’t know it’s comin, and maybe more frequently too. In a big community game, it would be so much fun to watch the chaos that it’d cause
