The only reason I now consistently eat two boars every game is because my dad used to yell at me for skipping them.

Yessss!!

Its important to note that , many people play this game purely for its singleplayer and that the multiplayer has had a rocky start for a few these days. Perhaps what we saw in those stats there is more kills with trebuchets due to campaign missions , than double boar lures in dark age.

Imagine your ancestor whatching this video who actually killed a wild boar.

This is exactly the depth and style of information I was looking for, thank you!!

started watching your tutorial playlist 2 days ago and now you get back on it. 11 excellent

Jokes, Timestamps, accurate information, several degrees of difficulty from the novice to more advanced. You my good sir got a new sub! I've already watched several of your videos but this once made me sub. Keep it up! I was doubtful if I really wanted to buy the definitive edition, but these kind of videos made my decision easier! It's a great feeling being able to look back at a game that I played so much when I was younger and was "easy" back then, being revealed to have so much more depth.. It's great!

The content quality impressed me, great job

Love the amount of effort put into this! thank you for doing this, really great for new players and thus for the community! Thank you again :D

Respect to you sharing all this awesome info. AOE2 is such an amazing game and now you just made it more amazing for me, thanks dude!!!

Hats off to u man!! What a detailed video👍🙏🙏🙏

I recently got into this game and I love your videos! Very entertaining and helpful. Please keep making more noob videos for people like me 😁

Great video! Thanks for this :)

I NEVER KNEW BOARS WERE SO NECESSARY. IT TOOK ME OVER A DECADE TO DO IT. Thank you!

I feel like if this were a sotl video he would have mentioned the gothic and Aztec resource carry bonuses as well... if there hadn't been so many claims that the beginning about this being the most complete and definitive video ever on the subject I would not have expected bonuses like that to be mentioned quite as much, but the standard was set pretty high by the intro. Also, the berbers villager speed bonus means they can lure these animals farther... Just saying, I feel like there was even more completeness that could have happened here. Overall, this was an amazing video and there was a lot of detail I did not expect as well! Great job, ZE

enlightening video, nice work ✔

Great content!!! Keep it up

Once I watched the Pros do this; clicking up to the Feudal Age has never been faster! Thanks for the tips T90, TheViper, and ZeroEmpires! Happy hunting!

What do I do if 30-50 of them come into my town when I let the villagers play for 5 to 10 minutes?

I absolutely love this

Totally amazing scientific tests!

Finally. Now I know why and how, thank you.

THANK YOU!

HONESTLY. I always do boar in the feudal age. Sheep is for the dark age boar and deer for the next age. UNLESS their is a boar very close to my town center during the start, i mean REALLY CLOSE where no luring has to be done pretty much.

What was funny was that I got this achievement day one simply by doing what was suggested in the Art of War missions! ^^

When you want to hunt boars but are afraid of it: *"Go skinning this one, I'll bring another"*

I need a whole series on HOW TO PLAY! jUST like there were at the start of starcraft 2

Question for the farming gather rate. Is this only when the farmer is actually gathering or does thst include the dance?

Thank you for this video , I am now beating Viper and Daut 1v2

We're grateful to you president ZeroEmpires, for making real the election promises at 21:48

Got the challenge during the Sun Tzu mission. LOL

AoE2 authors "In this work, we conjecture that the rise and and fall of medieval civilizations may have been due to a paesant failing in luring a boar in town. We support our argument with a computer simulation."

can we jsut appreciate all the detail that went in to the hunt life in AOE 2

If you time the lure right before finishing the 4th sheep, you can shift click the villagers under the TC to the boar, and they will start attacking as soon they finish the sheep. No need for fancy control group micro.

Today i'm going to teach you how to lure the boar. *proceeds to teach how not to loose food* dude you're exceeding our expectations here !

19:05 I wonder if those villagers have found any juicy T-Berries in those bushes.

One thing I like to do is to set the TC waypoint next to the boar so if I forget about my vil I don't lose them

Did you know if you format the description timestamps in MM:SS and include 00:00 first (named eg "Introduction"), the timestamps will automatically mark the playback timeline on youtube?

This game is so good. I'm so pleased they made DE.

thx for tips Zak, but how do I kill the Iron Boar to become King of the Huns?

Essential for a good dark age! Nice video

Well... that was my first achievement in the game. An old, someone will say all- know-trick, it's always useful.

I remember that in AoC the iron boar didn't actually give you his food and it just rotted away, did it changed in DE?

Some people play the campaign where you get too use trebs but not be in the dark age. Therefore can’t get this achievement. So far I have finished the Spanish and french campaigns and am now working on Barbarossa.

if you attack the boar twice to lure it wont change aggro when you get it back to the TC so you wont run the risk of losing a low health villager to the boar (unless your lure villager is low because of distance or mistakes)
