Reality: HD edition.

He should have had the scout accidentally kill the deer by the TC after finally getting it there.

[Timmothy_plays]

Expectation: I defeat their attacking army and raid their base in retaliation.
Reality: I defeat their attacking army only for an another army waiting for me back at their base.

I've watched SO MUCH AoE2 content without actually playing it I feel that when I do buy it and try to play this video will be a frame by frame prediction of my experience...

[ethanlim]

That farm placement physically hurt me

[MrDibara]

The one with the Onagers vs Crossbowmen hurts on a spiritual level.

[LOLHICRONO]

that castle drop one was so damn good, even down to the failed wall attempt

[aralornwolf]

You missed the boar lure...
Expectation: Boar is lured to TC and villager escapes
Reality: Boar is killed by the TC and the vill still died.

[themole]

Most of these realities were 100% expected and the last one also deserved.

[rfdiego]

The failed castle drop is too painfully relatable😑

[samajhdarprani]

It could have been a Daut Castle had it gone up

[petersmythe]

Extra ideas for part 2:

Expectation: spears protecting your town from scouts and killing all the scouts.

Reality: villagers being exterminated by scouts while spears chase the scouts around.

Expectation: three archery ranges on the enemy island.

Reality: three archery ranges on the neutral island.

Expectation: pikes massacreing cav archers.

Reality: cav archers massacreing pikes.

Expectation: 20 Onagers destroying their army and base.

Reality: like 5 Onagers destroying your own army, each other, and not much of anything else.

Expectation: Petards flooding into their base bombing it back to dark age.

Reality: Petards streaming at a castle getting annihilated by it.

Expectation: Warwolf trebuchets owning everything with highly accurate and devastating fire.

Reality: Regular Trebuchet trying to fight a villager and losing.

Expectation: Frankish Paladins charging through and annihilating Gbetos and skirms.

Reality. Frankish Paladins charging at Gbeto which retreat into a line of pikes.

I think the last one would have been even funnier if just the archers fought the first wave of villagers off and then when the second wave came the Hussars came out of nowhere to cock block them

[YazhiniSP]

I died laughing at that deer-scout salsa

[NightShadow]

The castle drop has another realistic outcome though: You place it & they have a mangonel firing at your vills and then it destroys the castle foundation.

[light_david]

Nice. Really related to the one with the double layer foritified walls, just that the reality there is that they have trebs, and I have no army to kill it with...

[BlueShellshock]

Expectation: Imperial age standoff, two different civs clashing their unique units and specialties against each other.
Reality: Couldn't defend against feudal age archer push.

[seancsnm]

Or in my case, a mangonel that attacks and kills the castle foundation the second it is placed. (Yes that has happened to me, multiple times)

[SpaceKnight]

1:47 deer "sike"
scout "wtf"

[stevenjayn]

That Daut castle at the end hurt so much
