It also reminded me of a channel of AoE 2 called “Among the Sheep” or something like that, with similar videos (and a monkey as a profile). Like vs, animations, all of them made in AoE II HD and last ones DE A couple of examples: a Vs of Shotelai against Karambits, and a “Monk cover” (when they are starting to convert units) of The Imperial March, from Star Wars.

In the final Match BigDaddy: Cobra, i am your father Cobra: That's impossible !!!!

While i dont know if it was the first cheat code i ever used, i know that bigdaddy was the first age of enpires cheat code i ever used. Glad to see its still the daddy.

We need more cheat code content. Also, I'm proud of Cobra Car's performance.

The stealth archer rounds were the funniest. First we're surprised by looking at the wrong tree, an impressive display of the stealth archer's, well, stealth. And then we're blown away (literally) by the immensive display of force as every single tree in the arena is obliterated. This is quality content right here.

I'm glad that the OG big daddy won. When I played this as a kid, it was the only cheat that me and my brothers knew at first, so all the cheats in AoE 1 and AoE 2 somehow were all just called "big daddies"

I mean, the conclusion was not surprising to say the least. Nothing stood a chance in a 1v1 against either Z besides the other, and higher damage per shot will dominate when attack speed isn't a factor due to the short duration of combat
