    I'm 30 and only started playing AoE2 casually during the pandemic. I watched a few tournaments recently (where Hera won lol) and now that I've been binging Hera's videos, I'm completely in love (addicted) to the game. Your content is fantastic, not too click-baity or desperate for attention. I gained so much respect for you when you said in another video that you want to share the knowledge of how pros play the game, not hide anything. You're a treasure and inspiration to the community

    You're kinda spot on that i more often watch your videos when I'm in a more energetic mood, while t90 videos have the slow pace that i can watch before bed. I like this style and I think from an information value perspective, it's peak value. I don't normally expect this pace from your videos but it's enjoyable

    This is SUCH an amazing series already. We keep hearing that this game 99% is about decision making, yet most content is just surface level with impressive looking micro with entertaining comentary. These decisions and way of thinking comes naturally to you, but taking the time to explain it all is amazing. I could listen to this for hours.

    I love this video on so many levels. I love how much attention you put into what your audience will like. At the beginning I thought the narration was going to be slow, but then I was working around the room had wireless earphones on, visualising everything you were saying. Such a great experience! And I had my berries raided last game, gotta play more open maps to get used to feudal play.

    This is going to be one of my favorite series, no doubt. Decision-making is a key and essential part of AoE2 and having a good one, together with good knowledge of the game, is what makes players improve. It's always interesting and insightful to know what someone like you, on the very top of the playerbase, thinks and why he thinks like that. Keep up the great work, Hera. You're an essential pillar of the AoE2 community!

    This is gold content. So much to learn from in a single game. Tower rush and its counter are advanced topics. At my level (1500) I have dealt with a lot of tower rush wish just vil fights. But this is a more realistic situation, when opponent walls in his towers.

    This is a very nice addition to your other videos.They form a great base for AoE learners, having the fast-paced action seen first hand, but then also a much slower, detailed explanation of strategic elements behind the scenes.

    I love the video😊 It was very interesting to watch your thought process as you were going through one of your games. I also liked how you were able to speak a little slower than you normally do while in game considering how fast you have to move. I enjoy both styles but for learning how to play the game better your introspective slower style for this video is helpful.

    I love the breakdown of the strategy and mindset! There is definitely a lot to think about. As a newer player I feel the thing I struggle with more than the strategy is actually just the control of my units/buildings. I find I am very slow as I am clicking on most thing instead of trying to learn/set up hotkeys. There are also things that don't seem to be explained well (like the use of the shift key and assigning units as they spawn/ungarrison) that I am learning very slowly. I look forward to more of this style of video and hope to learn a lot more as I get more experience in the game.

    @ajfish9514 Жыл бұрын

    Very nice! This is exactly the content i was looking for! One thing i find particularly interesting is the explanations of why you're picking fights, and when you find it worthwhile to engage into an army - especially when it consists of counter units. As a newer player, it's very difficult to judge if the resource value of army units is worth trading for the more nebulous value of setting the pacing and having map control, and also how to and if you can take these fights in the first place.

  • @Troy-mv8io

    This is really cool. Just seeing how you piece together the overall strategy, the units and upgrades required to make your units competitive is very insightful and helpful. I also love how you know how to balance your economy while being bashed around by Mr Yo (who is also very cool to watch play). Thank you for choosing this as your career.

I would also appreciate if you would do this kind of video, but commenting someone else's game (even lower elos), cause you know lower elo players do completely different things and make also completely different mistakes. Lower elos would maybe identify themselves more. But nevertheless really enjoyed this video. Much love ❤
