putting your first army in the TC to heal : "its a new tactic"

me trying "0 death" runs for 20 years : *Do not cite the deep magic to me, witch. I was there when it was written.*

I love seeing a good quickwall, but IMO buildings like palisades/houses should behave more like Age of Mythology when being built. Ie they take MASSIVE damage from melee units when being built. I hate seeing 10 knights be walled out by a 40 wood investment and the villager can outbuild the knights trying to break in.

[Wocher]

I would say market use in form of selling stone for clicking up to castle age pr market abuse with saracens are a relatively new strategies that are quite popular

[AceLeviathan]

I have a love and hate relationship with qucik walling. Love when i do it, hate it when opponent does it.
Fun story, play aoe4 recently with my bro, and tried to wall with houses. Then i saw enemy troops walk between the houses and realized it was all for naut...😅

[henriqueoliveira]

that's why it's impossible to copycat TheVipers strategies, he is almost always fully open and relies 100% on his quick walls skills. If I do the same 3 scouts would ruin my base completely.

[huythiennguyen]

Shooting farms with archers if there's no fight to be had. I learned that from you.

[robertdewolfe]

I liked your quick tip as well about the single spearman micro vs low amnt of scout.

[teddyhaines]

I'm usually awful at quickwalling, but it was actually critical to me winning this one Ghost Lake Tatars mirror where the opponent got all of the neutral sheep. I figured he'd go cavalry with all that extra food, so I pressured his woodlines and gold with pikes and crossbows while walling his knights out of my own base. There was this one moment where the knights nearly broke through, but my vil stopped them at the last second by plugging the gap with a palisade.

I feel proud that I figured out the SO trick by myself😂 I was on Amazon tunnel and cutting was taking forever so I used multiple and figured if I have one shoot and then the other attacks while it reloads then I can just keep attacking and staggering the reload will always have some firing

[olivertate]

Number 3 'unfortunately I can't drop Tcs in the enemy base and abuse this tactic'. "Fortified church entered the chat"

[steven_s]

#3 AI on expert does this frustratingly well with villagers 11. They garrison and eject so quickly when your archers are firing!

[eduardovega]

Great video! You should do top 5 historical most op strats that’d be interesting

[ViciousSatsuma]

I absolutely want to nerf deer luring - I wouldn't even mind stopping scouts luring deer conpletely. Together with the market, it makes feudal age really short and boring on a lot of maps. That also contributes to the power of monks, because if you have either scouts or archers left over from feudal the monks don't have the same power spike in early castle.

I don't mind quick walling though. I actually think it creates a really interesting dynamic. Cavalry are mobile and can raid, but you can react so if you don't full wall your base or you have a hole you can save yourself. Archers are slow and need to be kept together, but their advantage is that you can't quick wall them. The end result is that the way you design your base in feudal has to adapt depending on what you're facing.

It's hard for me to imagine what AoE2 would be like if boars had a chase range and deer had a push range

[steelyr]

What about daut’s favorite building? The market :)

[nelsonmejiaslozada]

I remember see Viper doing some casual quickwalling in Voobly and that was spectacular because of the ping and stuff, today he abuses that and isnt funny, a new Fornite-barrier meta has been created and i dont enjoy it anymore, doesnt make sense u dont lose a vill 40 sqm from your tc because of obstacles that came from nothing.

[MADMartinQc]

Quick walling is probably the 1st reason why lots of people either dont play the game or play only vs computer.
Totally unrealistic and make the game super boring. (My toughts)
Wont be suprised if the devs make something about it kinda the same way what happend to Fortnite with fast build.

[afzk]

Hera, you're killing it with these videos. I rarely comment on this sort of thing but you ought to know

[mellevala]

Really great to see, and who knows what tactics will appear next
