To be fair spectating in Age of Empires 2 would actually be a realistic way to cheat without getting caught. If you had 1 computer playing the game and a second computer spectating your game then yea you can know exactly what your opponent is doing at all times. Having that ability is game breaking and in truth how often does it actually happen? There is no way to realistically know who is spectating. If someone had a second account on a cheaper computer they could spectate and have a realistic cheat way to win games. If you know what your opponent is doing it is really easy to kill your opponent. To get upset at red for calling out a way to cheat then you are saying its perfectly ok to cheat.

Lets stay real here t90 isnt saying its okay to cheat This is a 400 elo game Blue was scouting red, red wasnt Red didnt use a super stealthy tactic or smth If you really want to cheat - there are likely better options than a several minute delay and handling 2 devices to see what your oppo does (i guess a map reveal hack with a dmr device would be undetectable, but im taking that from tarkov cheater exposing vids...) Youd also need to buy the game twice - a hack would prolly be more cost efficient too Red clearly was just having a bad day The "i will report" was just uncalled - like t90 said I sometimes watch random games too, it can be fun and ive never seen someone react like red@@jordancambridge4106

I used to spectate games when I was first dipping my toes into ranked, because I wanted to know what I was getting myself into. One game, someone noticed me watching, and accused the other player of spectating three minutes into the game. Later, the first player built an obscure lumber camp in a remote corner of the map and the second player ended up spotting it while sending a monk out to collect a relic. Five minutes later, it was raided with light cav and the first player freaked out and said it confirmed his opponent was spectating and that he was gonna report him. It was such a comedy of errors.

9:30 Red clicked on fog of war, horse was on stand ground. he could range the farm so he attacked the farm instead of not doing anything red could've ordered the horse away but the horse attacked on it's own. so I'd say 70/30

Feels like both players have gone through the art of war stuff/watched build order videos as they're both doing stuff in the very early game that 15+ years ago I would have considered fairly high level. But neither have a lot of experience playing online and blue in particular doesn't seem to know what counters what (i.e. don't sent an outnumbered handful of infantry into a unit that hard counters infantry). That being said, both of these players have more experience playing online than I do so what do I know haha I should at least attempt a few games and see what happens. I don't think I'm inexperienced enough to appear in this series, but I'm by no means a good player despite playing AOEII for over twenty years.

Hera recently published a video called "Are You Afraid To Play Ranked?" where he summarizes several fears new players have - as I do, since I never had the courage for years. 🙂 There was one obvious yet interesting point - once you stabilize to your real ELO, an inherent property of any ranked system is that you HAVE to lose approximately 50% of the time (unless you're top 10 player). That's why ranked plays are not exactly tempting for me - guaranteed 50% of losses. 😀 I like beating AI (currently on Hard), not gonna lie. 😁

@@Addictivemeh I'd say it's rather not having much of a game plan. For a noob like myself, city defenses are intimidating, so the only way to actually destroy the opponent's base (aside from something extremely cheesy in Dark Age) is to get to Castle Age+, build an army with siege and mow it down. And while bombards/trebuchets are destroying the castle/tc, the entire army is waiting and protecting them. Early harassment is just means to an end, probably denying the woodline or raiding misplaced farms is as far as it goes. This is also why you see the town bell so often - vils go in, army goes out. At higher levels of play people are consistently taking trades, it's much more about avoiding float and actually getting some use out of resources. Just spending is not enough - see the recent massed MAA video for evidence. Tech upgrades are useless if you have 0 army, but a huge army that just sits idle at base is even more useless. I guess at low levels plays are much more... defensive? As in, trying not to lose the game as opposed to actively trying to win it, which requires at least some understanding of the enemy's situation.

I feel like you should ask for permission from both players before you can spectate, or you should have a 5 minute delay at least. Still, spectating makes scouting irrelevant, idk why anyone scouts when you can just spectate your own game...
