How To Consistently Win at Age of Empires 2

I actually think that the pause + explanations are the best part, not annoying. Especially to lower level players, watching and listening at the same time for a full game can be tiresome/overwhelming. Pausing, explaining your next steps and executing them makes for a more didactic experience IMO and helps develop the critical thinking skills

everyone that doesn't play aoe2 " what boar? That is an elephant"

You are the best AOE2 player in the god damn world, but what makes you a true legend is how humble and nice you can be with the people.

stuff that hera didn't mention
1- scouting with 3 sheep
2- grouping units and buildings
3- extream ai foucuses of booming when the enemy is ahead by score
4- building houses during walling prevents you from being housed in feudal
5- if the enemy scout rushed, make spearman and wall the resources
6- usage of hotkeys for every single building selecting and unit production

7- pick archer armour in castle age so you can survive a mango shot or few knights
8- in case of a real game, you'll need the resourses to replenish your losses during fights

Hera made extreme mode look easy 😊. I am sure people new to aoe2 will think, “Oh I can do it too” and will soon understand “what aoe2 is” and “who Hera is” 😊

Bro. the minutes you pause the game are the most I listen carefully. If anyone gets bored of that pauses I reccomend them not to waste their time because that pauses are the purpose of the video. so dont worry about them. more pause equals more important information. thank you for your effort and help.

I think this is great at showing how a thinking player comes out ahead. Getting down mechanics in any game or RTS is important but if you're not thinking about your next move, you're going through the motions. I've seen this before in Starcraft 2 and AoE2, people that stick to a build or a game plan and follow it too rigidly, especially if they hit resistance, they think doing more of the same will work sometimes. They're not exploring what tools they should be deploying. Also from personal experience this is where I tend to lose a lot when I've been rusty. You spend more time thinking about mechanics, hotkeys, etc that are meant to be second nature vs planning and thinking your next move that will actually lead to winning (or at least not dying terribly).

I like to play RTS and use it to think about my own life. Where am I holding resources I could be deploying? Am I ready to survive predictable threats? Am I balancing my effort properly on researching new skills vs. producing what is available to me right now? What can I reasonably scout for to plan for? I liked this video specifically because of the market line. Everybody needs to use the market sometimes. Things change. The balance required changes. It’s okay if you need outside help to help correct imbalances.

Longtime viewer here… what you do isn’t easy. Especially playing and commenting every detail. You excel within this game. Excellent teacher. I’m stuck on hard mode 😂😂 guys walking through extreme like it’s easy mode.

As Patreon I agree, this should be an Patreon, because the amount of Information in it is very very good. 🔥

NAHH that Daut Sideeye was too wild my guy

[sandmann]

Very, very good video! Thank you for sharing your decision making.

[Rakshael]

Your best video you've ever made, and I've been bingeing your entire playlist.

for anyone struggling with AI, the easy way to cheese it is that AI really overcommits into counter units. It will see one archer and go full skirm. So just tech switch into scouts or knights and be ready again for it to go all pikes

[lanejohnson]

this is a great guide. so cool that the guy who is #1 on ranked is also the #1 educator! the proof is in the pudding with hera

[nicksturzz]

Me: Gets motivated by Hera's video

Plays first ranked game, gets wrecked

Back to campaigns and skirmishes vs AI.

these types of videos / Road to 2k / Inside the mind of a pro are my favorite content by far

[Krecikdwamiljony]

I love watching videos like this, then getting into a game against hard AI, then repeatedly losing my archers to a mangonel or a tc and eventually losing the game in general

12:00 "I'm not playing at super fast pace" - says Hera while playing with literally superhuman speed I know I will never achieve 😶😶😶
