    I think it's fantastic that something like this recieves more likes and comments than a Viper game, it just goes to show that there's so much more to AoC than the competitive aspect and that even without the high level pro games there would be a huge community of people who will always love and enjoy AoC no matter what. you guys rock!

    56:13 - What's left of the Teals mount a last ditch attempt to save their land. Civilians and soldiers alike pick up whatever they can and run at the Green trebuchets. The best that can be said is they died on their own soil. A land that saw naught but peace for centuries has been burned down to ashes.

  • @KingLies
    @KingLies Před 9 lety +110

    Not having fixed teams, basically a FFA and requiring diplomacy makes these games 10x more exciting to watch. 4v4s where one team is doing badly so they gg 10 minutes in gets kind of tedious. Plus with noobs you get to see all the crazy, "what the hell is he doing" moments. This was hands down the best match I've ever watched.

    @BluePieNinjaTV Před 8 lety +29

    Holy crap that game was unbelievable! So many highlights I am not even kidding. The relic captures, the glitched gold, the demolition boats, multi-kills, Admiral Klaymen's suicide fleet, the lonely soldier, the alliance switches, the resource hogging, the base moving. Just wow. This game was so good I think it really captured the spirit of Age of Empires. The ending though, man that was a harsh way to end, even though Castor won with a massive score, but Blade being the last active player with the highest score.

    -Sheepslaughter and Klaymens last stand on the little island fortress
    -Metallics last unit, the two handed swordsman just wandering around the world.

  • @MrMysterioso
    @MrMysterioso Před 9 lety +16

    That was insane. Im gonna imagine a Game of Thrones parallel to this because it was fucking amazing.
    Starting with Castor, he was clearly the Starks, the hero we were all rooting for, and having been scattered over the map to rebuild.
    Next is Blade, the Boltons. (Could also be Freys, but he became to strong to be such a shit family). He made a despicable move and betrayed Castor early with the selfish aim of eliminating the strongest player. In doing so he eliminated his chance of winning.
    Because of Selfcontrol, the Lannisters. The powerhouse of the west with only shit teams to help him at the start. He kept making alliances and breaking them as Lannisters do. But he kept himself strong and did what was needed to survive.
    Then comes SheepSlaughter, the Baratheons (Stannis). Relatively weak at the start, and relying on the Lord of Light to take him to victory. No-one cared for him till he made a claim to victory. Then he got crushed at the coast.
    Next we have MetallicDolphin. They follow none other than Beric Dondarrion. Were strong early on, but later in the game were very few in number and mostly insignificant. And Dondarrion, the immortal, remained alive even at the end on this side of justice.
    Lastly, we have the legend. Klaymen47. I was unsure on what family to make him. Is he a Greyjoy because of his immortal fleet and sneaky alliances? Is he a Martell as he appears weak but actually has a grand master plan. Is he a Tully, crushed by the Lannisters and now helping the Starks to victory?
    Lol in the end im glad Castor ended up where he did. In my eyes he won. Blade turning on him so early with no warning while he was being crushed by Selfcontrol on the other side was cruel :)

    I can't believe how entertaining this was LOL! More satisfying than a lot of hollywood movies. I just can't believe sheepslaughter didn't pull off the relic victory!!! He had like 30,000 wood and 2,500 gold he coulda made docks all around the island and spawned demo ships. that woulda been sooooo epic!

  • @TerryWong12345

    I'm a student studying international relations (IR) theory and I'm quite excited to see how IR theories actually apply in this game perfectly. Realism says anarchy is here to stay, there is no world police so states have to rely, mostly, on themselves, this is also named as the self-help system which will also generate what's called "security dilemma" that suggests one state's being more secured will necessarily render other states being less secured.
    States, under this self-help system, will do Internal balancing and External balancing to maximize their security and power. Internal balancing is to build up your internal power while External balancing is to form alliances (mostly not lasting long) to boost one's resources and capabilities.
    A bipolar system is the most stable and the tripolar system is always the least. A bipolar system, for example, is when the game begins they form a 3v3 group competition, this is more stable because states will have less incentives to switch sides (given that 1 island houses 3 players, they gotta be united) to maintain the balance; A tripolar system is when the other 3 players are eliminated and the remaining 3 players will most likely form a 2v1 alliance to eliminate the under-dog; a bipolar system will emerge again when there is only 2 remaining players.
    The shadow of the future also plays in the part here. In this game, for instance, people will naturally expect you to form alliance with the peers in the same island. If you were to switch sides to betray your allies, forming a 2v4 where the betrayer is on the 4 side, you are in trouble because other players will think of you as a betrayer, which will weaken the betrayer's future survival ability because the incentives to forming alliance with the betrayer would be much less. This, however, does not apply to the game here because they would not meet each other again after three hours and there were no other players except the six of them.
    Forgive me for skipping the conclusion btw wth am i doing here: Doing an essay midterm on YT which I was supposed to watch sth rather than write sth??

    I should probably note, this is the top result for "Age of Empires 2 game with the most backstabbing".
    This was really glorious to watch. The slow buildup, the battle of Relic Island, slowly realizing as the game wears on that Castor's empire is ACTUALLY being rebuilt while everyone ignores him... just perfect.

These kind of games for me are better than those of the really good pros because not everything is perfect and the same build orders/methods are used; whereas in pro games it can become a bit repetitive. Hopefully more games like this (of course not necessarily as long :P) appear on this channel because watching this has made my day :D
