The Fastest Castle Age EVER on Arabia?!

After nearly 8 years of content I've seen a lot of things. I'm not sure I've EVER seen a Castle Age this fast on arabia in all my years. Watch this crazy battle of wits and enjoy one of the more unique arabia games you'll have seen in awhile!

The greedy castle was sick but it just goes to show off dauts decision making skill. He countered perfectly.

That was a really clean up from Nicov but Daut has been in rare form of late. I mean, a year ago that castle would have been the very definition of a DautCastle, but he somehow was right where he needed with right what he needed. Great to see.

Summoning Salt: in late 2022 a player by the name of Nicov posted a fast castle time on Arabia of 13:10. No one knew it at the time but this would lead to a pursuit that would dominate the speed running community for 10 years.

Fc boom into gg is my strat, I didnt know nicov knew that build too!

Honestly Daut just played this perfectly. Especially when it comes to the scouting. Really adapted to the opponent decisions and punished them. He pushed out at exactly the right time and got all the information he need to place a perfect castle. Nicov lack of scouting hurt him this game, he was just playing according to his plan he wasn't adapting to what Daut was doing..

Ever since you mentioned Veggie Tales on your stream, I now only hear Bob the Tomato when you speak and I can’t unhear it.

One of the fastest castle times ever just to get bodied.

[andreibirisu]

Amazing play, daut is something else.

15:07 Am I the only one who thinks Nicov souldnt have fought this with his army? He has 6 monks behind he couldve used for converting vills building the castle THEN snipe the rest with the army, he could still lose the army but deny the castle.

[giantmarmoset]

Perfect counter by daut, definitely a bit of an overboom/ greed by blue. Follow that massive villager lead up with not enough military production buildings and you got yourself a gg.

Watched a vid from a couple of months ago, onto this, why has youir mic setup worsened? Too airy and quiet I think?

12:00 i did not se anything faster than this guy yet, but As one who really enjoys saracen, i've practiced FC and been able to pull it off in 13:40 WITH SARACEN "more or less" in ranked games. But saracen FC feels better than khmer because you literally buy your way through whatever it is you crucially need once you hit castle age.

Some games i hit FC at such a fast time and throw down 2 extra tcs. Zero food for vills, bur guess what? We buy the food, and build farms until eco stability is achived"and a 4th+ 5th TC 2-3 mins after and then buy a defensive castle even.
Khmer, on the other hand, i don't enjoy FC with them.

What's the fastest theoretical time for Fast Castle? With perfect Vic etc

[MorleyGames]

I just got a 12:48 FC lancer rush with mongols on arabia

[fiable]

20+2 no loom into 3tc boom is possible.. with Saracens

[NashaatKabz]

I love your vids and you inspired me to try playing too but I want to know what is the best siv to main as a starter in AOE2

[dimitrikemitsky]

I absolutely love Titans League. This was such a great addition to the community.

[oShwavyo]

Anyone feel like Nicov would have been better off not forcing the engagement and trying to use monks to force vills off the castle? It’s very hard to get it built if u spam click conversions because the vills run away when the conversion starts. He could have baited the fight under the TC potentially if the monks held off the castle while sitting under it. Not saying it changes things necessarily but I was screaming for him to do that with one monk lol

4K video? When did that happen? Very nice, I noticed the bump in quality immediately and was initially confused. XD

[chenxxl]

Nikov should drop castle 🏰 immediately then spawn knights to protect his offensive position
