54:39 This is one of the things that makes Viper the wholesome person he is. I just love that he has the courage to speak up and I wish more people were like that!

Hey guys. We as YT-watchers don't know Hera's challenge when spectating Viper so I gathered all of it here for you to understand better what is Hera trying to do and what purpose are his actions actually serve.
UPD/Disclaimer. If you want to watch Viper trying to get what is Hera doing by his own this can kinda spoil you the vid, so be carefull.

game 1 (3:47). TheViper - Burgundians, Hera - Chinese.
Hera gets the challenge: have 100 villagers of the same gender in a box (enclosed area) with an outpost in it. Win is NOT required.

game 2 (25:32) TheViper - Britons, Hera - Spanish.
Viper gets the challenge: build a castle using only converted villagers. Win is required.

game 3 (56:30) TheViper - Teutons, Hera - Mongols.
Hera gets the challeng: build an outpost at all 4 corners of the map (or at the point most close to the corner if it is blocked). Villager that build such outpost must travel in a ram from town center. The TC is not requared to be a started one - from any your tc basically. Win is NOT required.

game 4 (1:26:30) TheViper - Vikings, Hera - Goths.
Viper gets the challange: for every eco upgrade you have to delete 5 vils. Build a wonder and delete 50 vils at the base of the wonder. Win is NOT required.

game 5 (1:51:28). TheViper - Sicilians, Hera - Mayans.
Hera gets the challenge: Hera can build only gold units and vils. Win is required.

game 6 (2:08:31) TheViper - Aztecs, Hera - Koreans.
Viper gets the challange: trap (forest on one side, walls on others) all your deers. You have to also get in there one enemy deer or 3 wolfs. Win is NOT required.

the chat's panic and celebration when Viper realized he could just cancel the castle was just priceless.

[ctackins]

My utmost respect when you had a timeout to educate the guy tried to create a toxic environment by calling Hera tilting at his stream. Bravo Viper. That is why we love you.

[SmokeBillowing]

Snek Dad coming in clutch with the overlay text. Fucking legend.

[Enhack]

So, if Hera did heresy in the first Viper's challenge he would just failed? Thats hilarious

Random comment while watching:
26:29 Viper mind: "this freaking house on the way for perfect lumber camp I want to delete it so bad, oh well I will just move it a tile to the north"

[HiggsBoson]

Hera reaction when he realized Viper completed his last challenge was priceless.

The guy that said "The challenge was to resign at some point" 🤣🤣🤣

[TeTaongaKorora]

Watched this before on T90's and the format seemed... less than ideal. The whole one-sided challenge, when can you resign stuff doesn't really make any sense for balancing it, the challenges were of wildly different difficulty, and the ones that both had challenges were just so poorly matched up. Was a bit disappointing, but watching through Silverboi's eyes I'm sure will be entertaining

[jaderowan]

daut castle challenge should've been reworded to "build a forward castle using only converted villagers. forward meaning more than half way between your starting tc and your enemy's starting tc" maybe

I was at the edge of my seat the whole time watching this series! Thank you so much for this!

[basstscho]

This is a critique on our society, that despite chopping trees from a National Park you dont get punished. You even earn a lot of money. 3500IQ

¦¦¦¦¦¦ Spoiler ¦¦¦¦¦

You can convert fishing ships to delete fish traps

[AnteQu]

Is hera allowed to unqueue villagers of the wrong gender? T90 did the challenge before and he did a lot of unqueueing and requeuing. (You can see the gender of the next vill in queue and requeue if it’s wrong.)

[Thomas.die.Lokomotive]

Man of the match: Vipers dad! OVERLAYY 😂 Nice challange and pretty nice games!!!

[muratatas]

After many years i started to watch again AEO. You are awsome streamer and player VIPER. GO FORWARD BRO !! SUCCES.

[mikki]

Thats some nice lofi music in background, good choice.

[MEE]

winning against Viper is already a challenge for Hera, having to do it with only gold units is totally fine for one of his challenges imho
