"oh, that big..."
"actually it's not very big"

"that's also what she said but anyway"
*silence*
"it got bigger"

I don't always play AOE2. But when I do, I do forward market rush.

[martijnbouman]

What happened at 12:03 was that DraCoNT started to convert a scout, but then switched to converting an Archer, and almost instantly converted the Archer because the monk had already build up enough faith in his attempt to convert the Scout.

Crazy to think while I was still playing this game 5 years ago there was a small community still alive playing AOE2. My friends and I were not alone! Love the baby T90 voice!

[JERCHROME]

This reminds me so much of my junior high years. I played this game so much. Never realized there was still a following 12 years later LOL

[Jesterjewel]

Not a click bait. The brilliant strategy was the market, not the tower hop. I never seen this trick. Great video!

[ragnarlodbrok]

Amazing market trick. Aztecs are kind of OP on Arena - best monks in the game, plus eagles, plus relic gold bonus... If you're going to beat a player of roughly the same caliber in a game where you have a civ disadvantage I guess you have to do something wild like this in order to have a shot, and it worked beautifully.

Going into this video, I think there's about a 97.1% chance that I won't believe the outcome of the game.

[Miskolcer]

making that many mangonels was the key to lose this... Battering rams filled with pikemen! That's always win. Battering rams withstand archer fire for ages and pretty hard to kill with cavalry too. Putting 4 pikemen inside each battering rams would speed it up and pikes can defend it from cavalry. And rams are much cheaper then mangonels.

I don't even play this and haven't in ages and I still like your videos
Lol "it keeps getting bigger"

John Snow is not known for this.

John Snow is not known for anything.

You know nothing, John Snow.

[DroneCompilations]

I haven't played AoE since it first came out. I am 30 years of age, yet sir... your voice and the amount of work you have gone in to making entertaining content has made me flabbergasted as to why I keep coming back to watch a game I don't even play. You sir will go far! Keep it up!

[TriRemo]

Watched it live with Dave and Bulletchen casting, absolutely hilarious game !

About that monk conversion. Monk conversion has a cast time, that's something we all know. It seems like when you're trying to convert an unit and then you aim to another unit, that cast time you earned with your monk applies to that other unit.

So, could happened that red monk tried to convert green Scout, but then aimed to green Archer, which has not conversion resistance.

[FifinatorKlon]

It took me a while to realise but that whole game is pretty much like the intro with the dudes playing chess.

This Jon Snow actually know some thins, hahaha nice game!

[patrickbonnette]

0.0 Absolutely amazing. This is why I love watching the expert games even though I'm so bad at this game. Flawless combination of micro, macro, and anticipation.

[ПетърПетров-иы]

Starving space resulting in food deficiency of the opponent turned out to be easier than starving wood on Arena.

[BobTheTesaurus]

I do love using scouts.

I have never been good enough to win multiplayer games, but damn scouts have done work for me in the past, i get a tonne of castles and walls and then hide large groups of hussars that i use to make damn sure the enemy cant use Trebs.

Its great playing with Forgotten Empires and the Magyars, pretty much scouts that get even more damage to seige
