Greed reads the patch notes, the wagons have "heavy siege" armor, which villagers do an extra six damage against.

I used to watch ESPN's 30/30 sports documentaries but now all I watch is T90's legend videos.

Looking forwards to The Legend of Mr. Greed which is just a montage of the unfortunate chap losing to every other Legend.

In this video I liked the fast forwarding and the scout's funeral sound.

Once upon a time, a great man said: "Celt eat TC", and now, five years later, we have this.

When showing multiple games like this the speed up is very welcome.

White Phosphorus is a true legend. A guy with 1.6k ELO skill able to raise to 2k+ by just coming up with crazy stuff. The Roman strat, improving the YouPudding one, and now this. I hope devs are not too fast to nerf things, let people try to figure things out for a bit first. And please, DON'T nerf the market, ever. Otherwise just remove all units and force everyone to play knights or xbows

[Skyace]

The reason wagons were “bad” was because you could “ghost” your shot if you canceled it too early. It was bad to micro, which needed to be changed. I think the un-usability of it was confused for the unviability of it

[Adamos]

White Phosphoru definitely deserved his legend video, congrats. Keep up the great content about these exciting new strat developments T90, thanks!

[AngelsSorrow]

Well done villagers!

On another note: I don't think it's a "One trick pony", because of the variety in it. Sure, they're all All-In strats, but that's a playstyle, and White Phosphoru has proven, that he's able to play that with several civs now. Also, I'm happy those players are able to get so much elo from it, because that reduces the chances of me running into them (if I ever find the time to play again, that is) :D

Oh and PS: the description has the wrong link for the "Evolving Already" video.

HOLY CRAP, THIS GUY!! I played this guy 6 times when I was between 1150-1250 elo when he would use only Japanese. He used to go suuuper hard in feudal with tons of Men at Arms, and I ended up beating him 4/6 times after I started recognizing his name because I would just make a tower between a wood line and a gold and it would mess him up. So crazy to see him being featured as a HIGH elo legend now because now that long ago he was 1200

tried the white phosphoru sicilian strat and walked into white phosphoru bohemians strat....

[thoughtful]

Well done villagers! There will be no context.

This reminds me of the early days of everyone learning the Hoang rush. Love all the strats this community continues to discover

[wnihaunter]

i think both youpudding and phosphoru's strats show that the community really undervalues high quality units, compared to high numbers of weaker/cheaper units

[MichaelOswalt]

the fact that he analyzed the weakness of his strat and adapted it to another civ/unit and continued to rise elo shows that he deserves to be up at that elo.

[MrStealYoBeef]

In the second game, blue had stabilized but then sent his two mangonels forward against an all-in that was still going. He had nothing being built behind it yet because his eco hadn't really started back up, and he couldn't afford the losses of the mangonels. That killed him. If he kept them at home and simply focused on surviving the next wave, he should have won.

THE CONSPIRACY IS REAL

TheViper and Hera with the Dravidians drama
YouPudding and White Phosphoru with Sicilians serjeant rush
YouPudding with Romans siege rush
White Phosphoru with Bohemians wagon rush

All the pros and T90 are in on it, supported by Microsoft to increase AoE2 DLC sales. Prove me wrong.



(this is joke btw)

(but is it tho)

The pudding videos brought me back to aoe2 after a long break. Excited to face up against it, I queued up with Bohemians to go fc wagons. First game back my opponent was Sicilians. Most fun game of my life 11

[enzymeaoe]

t90, loving the coverage of these sagas. Amazing that a low elo player can rise so high with such crative strats. Keep these vids coming!

[LJJ]

White Phosporu reminds me so much of _CX_youwei who did basically the same with Spanish and Conquistadors years ago almost every game. Fast Castle, build a castle. Mostly on gold, no farms, idle tc, buy food and raid with conqs. But conqs are weak vs. towers while hussite wagons are not.
