- Endless man at arms with the Bulgarians in AoE2:DE. With a fresh account how many games can I win on the ranked ladder? Leave your predictions in a comment below.
Watching the last game back and I can see some opportunities to do some more damage, especially when he's building the tower behind the barracks. I should have dived in right there but I didn't see the opportunity in the moment.

Lol I actually broke the damn streak haha
Yeah thank the gods! No one man should have this much power unchecked!
Was hoping for a longer video. Thanks a lot!!
Haha gg man
Lucky tc ... Lol
@@johnkimbalb Lucky? You mean well placed :)
4:29 im that female villager and the rhino is life
And the scout is self-doubt
This is a great series. I'm definitely looking forward to watching more.
Little did he know... there would be no more
id like to see this go on!
Gh.8
Damn that was amazingly entertaining. Watching 9 matches compressed into 25minutes really kept it exciting non-stop even tho it was always the exact same strat. Would love to see more of that :)
I really hope this is the start of a new favourite series of mine. Great idea zak I love the format and the editing. Ideas for other cheese strats could be endless hoang rush never going feudal or tati rush? :)
Nice video! As you start with 200 stone and never use it in this strategy, there is some space for improvement. Collect 50 more stone and go for 2 towers in a spots where you can't hit directly with the man-at-arms. For example in the last game a single tower behind his wood line (which he wouldn't even notice before it'd be up) would win the game. Send 2-3 vills to tower up and add 2-3 vills from the TC to keep your eco on the proper level
More of these please. I really enjoy you illustrating and teaching these strat
really nice idea for a series. I think a forward baracks would have improved this strat a lot ;)
I don't like that you broke your own rules and went castle + mangonel. The fun part about this weird cheese strat is the commitment. just rush down the tc with man at arms while the corpses of your units pile up when they will not resign
Fair point! I’ll make sure to do that next time ;)
@@ZeroEmpires I agree with the original comment. You could maybe change the rule of no more vils in feudal so you can develop a better economy and mass produce those men at arms. It would be awesome to see you take down TCs with just pure brute force in feudal. Anyway, great video!
@@Zonalyre exactly. I was wondering why the villager limitation was there at all! 🤔
Cool Idea for a series, keep it up
Awesome dude! Love seeing your videos again. Keep it up please!
Against me you will win endless amounts of games with this strategy.
I loved it! Would definitely like to see more. I'd also like it if you allowed yourself margin of deviation from the cheese, so that if you think you can win the game with a tweak, you can apply it.
Super entertaining kind of video. Would love to see more like this. :)
was so pumped to find another cool age yt and see a cool unique series but then see there’s only one video in the playlist and he hasn’t uploaded in a year ;(
Puns and cheese... Cheesepuns... Yes please. Couldnt have asked for a better series, keep it up my man
Thank you for the quality content!
Loved this. Looking forward to more in the series!!
very nice format, pls do more!
Mascarpone haha I definitely puffed some air out of my nose at that
Been trying something similar with goths, but I was going up relatively normal at 21 pop and was also making the MAA from 2 baracks, that I put at 2 different locations next to his base. Obviously I'm lacking the speed and often the enemy is ready to defend himself or counter raid me. Nonetheless, it worked many times and is definitely a lot of fun! Perhaps I'll try your build soon, or adjust so that I could make vils behind it...
Anyways, this is an amazing idea and I really hope you turn this into a big series, it was super fun to watch!
Huge video, thanks from a foreigner, very clear ! +1 sub
What a great idea! Keep it up!
What an amazing series. I hope you come back to do more.
This was awesome to follow alongside!
Only man at arms? Is this mangonel a disguised man at arms? ;)
Nice video, I love, how you explain your actions, keep going!
At this point should've played the last game just to see where it would rank in the leader boards, good series!
Cool video! Greetings from Bulgaria. :)
Yes !!
Interesting. More of this !!
I liked to see how this strategy could be followed with aging up, mangonel, etc.
Yes, it breaks the rule.
But helps to learn how to use the strategy effectively.
I think it's much better than another "challenge" video.
This is great, you should do more!
This was a great video! :)
Great video! Liked!
Awesome
Hope to see more =)
I think you could have mentioned at the start why the bulgarians are uniquely suitable for this strategy.
He did say they get the man at arms upgrade for free. What else is there to say?
wouldn't the lithuanians be better?
@@matthaeushilpold2134 Lithuanians allows a faster dark age rush of militia and possibly faster Feudal. However the M@A upgrade is 140 resources and involves a training time and idling barracks production. Bulgarians are strong not only because they skip the cost of M@A upgrade but because the upgrade is instant upon arriving Feudal. Militia trained in dark age will arrive just in time to be upgraded by the bonus. Not to mention in this strategy it's not a typical M@A rush to slow the opponent with 3-5 but is an ongoing spam of them to overwhelm and close out the game. A Lithuanian style would promote a fast castle behind Militia whilst Bulgarians better promotes the M@A spam.
Both have a bonus to help the strategy yes, I would argue Bulgarians bonus is that little bit better in this case.
@@liamkerbey8320 thanks though! Denying berries gold and lumber with a hefty drush (say, 10 militia) with lithuanians, then up to feudal for m@a -> would that be a thing?
@@matthaeushilpold2134 its a very 'cheesy' all in strategy. It might pay off for you in winning some games but if you cant find the damage considering your large investment then you will lose.
You wouldnt see this at a pro level as they easily counter it with walling vills and getting archers out to kite MaA. The heavy investment into so many MaA would delay castle too much and then they would quickly lose to knights or simply get outboomed.
3 militia should be enough to delay your opponent. If you make 10 you essentially need to kill them for it to pay off.
Loved the video! Do another one with only archer rush!
Welcome back , cheers
Nice idea, yeah keep going with this.
Fun games, keep doing these.
Also i think that this strat has a sort of "ELO" cap, at certain point you will face people who actually wall or counter you strat with the obvious deficiences, like low eco, almos not scouting and slow speed, 3 miners in a far gold for example.
NEED MORE of these!
Awesome idea for a series
That cheese joke was amazing dude!
nice, this is going in my strat book
We need more videos man!
Does feel like a “Sandbagger Series”. Very fun/entertaining to watch, but not sure if it’s enjoyable for the other players.
Great series!
Andrzej the 'mask a pony' was a masterpiece!
And*
i do something similar with the magyars with scout cavalry and a blacksmith. also as you progressed in games you adjust your strat like making spearmen lol
Time for an update: "How many games can I win with only Militia? AoE2:DE | Goths Edition"
How many games can i win by ONLY luring the enemy's boar?? FIND OUT SOON!!!
Answer:
NONE!
very good play.
i guess you reacted well when the situation turned bad at some games. It seems to be a workable strategy at the intermediate level(or even upper-inter)
I feel like the intermediate level doesnt react very well to Drush, and they kind of collapse when the start doesnt go smoothly
As someone within this group: its true. Any game vs Lithuanians with fast drush I died so hard it was embarrassing :D
Wow love the concept of taking a cheesy strategy and seeing it play out several times in one condensed video.
Very nice video
yes please more fondue!
When he stopped that villager from getting away from the rhino 🤣🤣
Great format of the video.
Edit: the pun is Andy Ostroy...
A bit similar to this strat, but you could try to go Feudal as fast as possible with Lithuanians (and their +150 food bonus), maybe with 14 vils, then make archers from two ranges. Or tower rush + walls.
I love this series. also great name "manwitharms". please do more in this series like cuman TC douche, or incan vill and trush
Yeah I like this. Take more ingrediens for your fondue and try with different cheesy like strats! I love it!
go to the top with this
I fight like pig on the ice for months to break the 1000 and you troll yourself up to ~1300 straight away, feels good :D But nice vid :)
I love this series idea, but you should definitely be allowed to keep producing villagers. I want to see how far this can go.
Especially with blacksmith upgrades cheaper you can have fully upgraded man at arms pretty quickly
Cool Vlog!
sicc strat for my favorite civ
Man At Arms = my favorite unit also the best :)
Yeah same. They look sexy to me
So damn funny. Im a noob but still gonna try this. I think of a full feudal thrash all-in maybe could work.
i did it it with slavs all the time. I won 20 games in row and got #3 during the beta
5:44 It "Woloallow" you to do a surprise landing?
best aoe cast ever
Can somebody share the exact build order? I manage to click feudal no sooner that the 7'30 secs mark. I do something wrong. Do you go on berries before feudal?
Great strategy! Where this build order can be found? I'm very interested on trying it, but I asume it doesn't work with 9 on Food, 2 on Wood and 3 on Gold right off the bat, right? I understand from the video you re-assign vills here and there to prevent falling short on Wood for Barracks and Mill/ Lumber Camp or getting TC idle time...
Great content anyway and I'd love to see more videos for this series!
That shr!mp last guy was my opponent in a game today
How did it go?
@@ZeroEmpires he started spamming just cammels in post imp in the arena map, but I had map control so I won
@@vichonavarrete9929 no way, you flipped the shr!mp??? :O
a singular man at arm
Deadass making a new steam account for this
definitely gonna try this lmao
Someone did this to me yesterday. I won so i feel like 300 elo higher now :D
Damn. My guess was 9. You almost had it!
17:21 ! no I was waiting for 40 man at arms to destroy the town centreeeeeeeeeeee
@ZeroEmpires will you make more Strat Fondue vids? Can't wait!
Love the series idea.
For the lazy what is the general build order guide?
This is how I play Goths. Because who would want to wait till Imperial Age when you can flood your enemies with infantry in the Feudal Age?
I chuckled and then exhaled at 20:20... it's like he knew
manwitharms 111 awesome video
11 nice strats
Dis my favorite unit
This is like the AOE DE version of the classic SC II double 11 rax xD
Nice
how about a classic, c̶a̶n̶n̶o̶n̶ tower rush.
Man with arms xD
I want to see you repeat the same strategy but with a twist which is that you are allowed to build as many offensive/defensive towers as necessary in feudal age and you can train as much villagers as you want. Also in castle age you are allowed to create as many mangonels and scorpions as you want
So just play normally...
I wanna see you try this strategy vs Hoang ^^
I've played 90 hours of Bulgarians so far, I love this civ. Im not a great AOE2 player but this strat makes me laugh
Please finish your tutorials serie it's one of the best on youtube
May I say that I ate a nice fondue yesterday evening with my parents, sis, step bro and nephews. It was delicious. We all left the table with double-sized bellies.
I've always been pretty shit at AoE2, playing it very casually since I was first show how to torrent it by the boys on the gamemakergames IRC channel, but even I recently found man at arms production really easy to exploit.
Worth noting it is possible to take down a TC with MAA once you get both smith upgrades. You need a lot however (35 or 40 from memory). This was probably the way you could have won the last game.
Geting 47 elo in 1 game, for someone who has spent a lot of time trying to go up in dota2 quickly I so with the k factor was not 50 in that game.
No other game will make you rage like this one.
I'm subscribed to this channel yet I've never seen a video from here as a suggestion. Anyone else?
15:50 I have the High ground, don't do this
trying to do this vs the "hard" ai and failed.. had to go full HAM with the cobra car :D
You should have shown your time stats in these videos, I'm wondering how fast you need to up.
The AI was smart with archers and it's tough to avoid tc fire
does not work with AI so well because AI will miro every unit heavily and it spreads its units far off but i have been doing this with goths and so far 3 straight wins from yesterday plan to continue till i can
Full scale men at arms is actually very good in death matches ....since you can start training militia line ri8 from dark age
