Another legend is here

That finale felt like a pub push on a control point map from Team Fortress 2.

Player does anything minutely unusual. Drongo be like: I THINK THAT'S GOING TO BE META.

That was absolutely insane, I didn't even realise I was holding my breath at the end there

What a finish, valiant efforts on both sides! Literal definition of "i gave it my all"

I was just playing AOE4 and then came to see this amazing match, what a game.

I just started watching and i saw your comment. Was afraid it'd be a spoiler. but thanks, now I'm excited to watch

What a hilarious finish lol

"STOP THE COUNT! STOP THE COUNT!" Omg brilliant commentary!

Abbasid is so frustrating because it rarely feels like they are doing Abbasid things and not just something any civ can do. The Abbasid thing is somehow getting outside to every age no matter whose playing them and constantly harassed until you just lose in the mid or late game. I wish they had an identity besides sometimes building a couple camels

Yeah, like they have some GREAT techs, but it really just feels bland to play them. Camels are relatively expensive for having such a small niche. Although, camel rider spam could have actually been really strong in this game to counter the knights and rival the mobility (but then again, you need several techs to reach this level of counter).

The Camels are their actual problem. They're just too bad and cost a ton. Also their attackspeed feels worse than a scouts. Reduce cost by 60 food from 180 to 120, fix their attack animation / attackspeed and you could rely on them as affective counters against cav civs like french and maybe mongols/rus. Rus horsearcher mop the floor against the only units that deals bonus them right now while having more range, attackspeed and only costing half as much. RN rus horse archers feel so unbalanced to the point for me where i consider just quitting when i have rus as my enemy.

@@foresightfox1256 Yes, comparing Camel Archers to Rus Horse Archers is so unfair, it's ridiculous. Paying that much more for 3x damage against Spearmen while sti having worse range and speed is absolutely not worth it. I don't know who thought that 120 resources with no gold cost would be a fair price for any mounted archer unit. Two tiles range updgrade is also very fun when they reach the mass to one-shot mangos. I'm having so much fun with this game, but man, there is some stuff going on with bugs and balance :D

@@DarkEpicSlayer Yeah hopefully the balance and fine tuning will keep coming. So many people hours being played that it's really hard to QA all the changes needed without delaying a game prior to releae while fine tuning for another 2-3 years. It'll get there I'm sure.

The funny thing is camel archers do no bonus dmg to horse archer unlike camel riders who do bonus dmg to cav (melee and ranged cav) but it get even more fun cuz even with the 15% movespeed buff camel rider barely catch up to them

The last seconds of the game had me biting my nails on the edge of my seat, holy cow what a great cast!

Dude i am devouring your videos. I grew up with AoE I, AoE II and Age of Mythology... This is awesome!!!!

The ending was more stresfull to watch than any project that I actually had to deliver at work this year :D

Great commentary, how exciting. If it wasn't for you, I totally wouldn't understand what was going on!! But you made it exciting. Thank you!

On the edge of my seat! What a game and well casted my man!! 👊

Awesome game, perfectly casted. We love you drongo

To answer your question at 3:25 : It was placed ONTO the stone outcropping. So when the villagers came near, they realized they couldnt build it there. No bug :)

Lol, that was goofy! And fun! Thanks for the cast, Drongo.

Daddy Drongo we need to see you play more

Impressive commentary. As a guy who never played the game you got me hooked.

dude what a game the determination from the underdog love it! great casting brotha

The running around the ring was fantastic

Castles are pretty good counters to buffed spears.

I love AoE 4, and also your commentary is top-notch, reminds me a bit of TotalBiscuit in the best of ways!

That was... agghhhh! Awesome!

that bug in the beginning with the quarry was because he put the quarry in a spot that intersected with the stone but because it was out of field of view it thought it could be placed there until the villagers got close enough to show the stone and the game "unbuilt it" and that was the last place the villagers had been heading to

damn that was some good shit bro! Subbed

Great casting Drogo. I enjoy your vids. Cheers.

Great game, great cast.

really enjoyable. kinda rally!

Dons patience is so impressive. I've seen him in several games sit back and let the enemy push into his base and i'm yelling at the screen "ATTACK YOU FOOL!" but he waits until he knows he can get the best position before attacking. He's my fav AOE4 player

It's because of AOE3. He's from AOE3. And that game has a much faster pace and one little misplace swings a match, so being extremely careful in taking fights was the norm.

What the is the name of that song that gets used in chase scenes that’s comical. Because that end on the Sacred Site was perfect for it.

Holy Shit! The End was amazing!

Amazing game. good job

That was the best ending to a game I've ever seen

Big misstep by Don not getting those Tithe Barns on 4 relics. That’s an extra 120 res of the other 3/min. Would be a very nice buff to his Econ.

This is magnificent !

3:25 Hi Drongo, over here, he built his mine in fog, but it was actually on top of the stone mine, so the workers refuse to build it and it cancels.

is there a good beginner video for this game? i just got it today

Wow what a game

Noticed the triple TC so late I was waiting when he’d comment on that

Holy shit the end was INTENSE

I wonder if StateSC2 is the former SC2-pro who recently joined Artosis in casting the GSL while tasteless was on vacation?

i was busting up laughing for the last 5 minutes that was insane!

Damn what a finish

16:25 killing that deer is more important than killing the knights

Boiling oil did so much work

good play Statesc2!!!!!!I was hoping udget that, abbs need some buff!!

don was throwing hard and still won lmao

Holy sheet that was good.

What a game!

what an absolute fiesta lmao

Yup, that was a like. Great Game!

awesome

Drongo never disappoints

3:30 it's not a bug it stops you pretend building across the map to see if the opponents are building mines. It let's u place the building alongside the mine in the 'semi fog' but will go when it's re-revealled if u scroll off screen

He placed the building atop the mine by mistake in the fog of war (two squares collide) so the building got canceled when the actual position of the stone was revealed. It shows at 3:25 when he selects the stone then the building

The enemy, even after successfully countering, made no attempt to get map control. Instead he hid in the walls and turtled. And lost because you don't have to destroy the enemy to win.

these matchs are very interesting

Just build the DAMN MINING CAMP. My precious seconds slipping away while the villagers stare at each other.

Dear Lord what a great game !

What is macro/micro? And how or where are expanations about it?

Hi, how can I set the Game to show on the screen the player names and their age ? Thnks!

LMAOO "Daddys HERE!"

Omg. So epic

did u change ur graphic settings? :(

Honestly, when I first saw they added these sacred sites, I thought this would be the meta for every game. Played enough Guild Wars 2 pvp to know what it's like to capture and hold nodes to win.

The title of this video didn’t lie

Damn, perfect micromanagment

What a banger

Trebs! A kingdom for a treb!

The fact that royal knights are just barely faster than basic spearman, needs to be fixed
