And the woof woof super dog cheat
TK: yes, yes you are.
It begs noting: A fully manned capped ram is faster than a tuetonic knight-even if it's tuetonic knights manning it. Remember, always travel in style, with ironclad taxis.
Unfortunate that they miss the siege ram upgrade. I know the capped ram is iron clad because of the unique tech but they miss out on style points. Plus I'm sure there's a damage difference between the two.
@@AhaanM there is a fair difference. Iron clad boosts the armor of capped rams so they have positive armor[think it starts at negative three hack armor] but their ram choice is somewhat wanting duento lacking siege rams. However, the main point is that the ram filled with tuetonic knights is faster than the tuetonic knigts themselves, and archer resistance. This allows you to quickly close the gap and get your knights into melee to do their bussiness.
Yup. Obviously not top tier meta, but in the mid tier I play at, its often both fun and effective to send 3, 4 rams stuffed with TKs into my opponents base. Awesome anti building/followed by great avenging anti infantry when the ram is destroyed.
@@OriginalSoulbourne Like putting Terminators in Land Raiders.
Wait I thought this was common knowledge? I always used Teutonic knights in rams as a kid

@@momon969 too good.. Hahaha🤣🤣 I'll think of this comment every time I play from now on 😅
Only 1 draw back of getting murder holes for free, whenever I play with another civ, I forget to research that ALL THE TIME.
Tbh i don't play them and I forget that research all the time xd. But tbh i don't play a lot of castle oriented civ's. Most games i make one castle for techs and sell the rest of my stone for gold :P
Well you only need to research it of you are under siege
Who needs Towers when you have GOTH?
I mean there is a reason why you only see murder holes researched in like 5% of pro games or something like that
It's like when you play a lot of Huns in a row and then switch to another civ and forget to build houses.
Long healing range? I can picture monks just screaming at the distance.

My day gets 10x better when Spirit uploads
How true.
It's fair to assume that today we all 've got a little more resistant to conversion & free Murder holes.
you must live a very sad life then
I agree, his use math with the game really puts math into a different perspective for me. Instead of larger sums you get larger eco and a larger army with which to dominate the enemy. 😁 thankyou spirit youre the man bro

A surprise, sure. But a welcome one.

This is getting out of hand. Now, there are _two_ of them!
They just walked towards us "MENACINGLY!!"
A redo of my favorite civilization to play as? Thank you so much Spirit, you are doing gods work.
Same!
When Spirit talked about that quiz on which civ plays best with your strategy, I thought: "Gee, I mostly played Teutons, I wonder if there's a better fit."
Took the quiz, got Teutons with an overwhelming margin... ╮(╯▽╰)╭

Oh - and btw a bit historical stuff:
The teutons are more designed to the early german state.
If you look on history the germans had many problems with invading eastern clans. Like the Magyars.
So the germans to that time spend building very very much castles and wall their villages. To avoid getting raided each year.
Thats is why they are a defensive civ in the Game that make sense
@@klavier0875 also early mediaeval times. look into the teutonic order... its insane what they did between 1300-1400.
@@klavier0875 early german state would be post 1450
Here in Germany we had many civil wars back then. The castles were also a protection against for example peasant uprisinhs
Wasnt Germany called East Francia back then?And later the holy roman Empire?
The Teutonic Knights remind me of the Nazgúl ponderously marching on the Hobbits at Weathertop
I have been waiting for this one a long time. Thank you fir finally making this.
1:15 There's a couple things I'd like to mention here:
- The teuton bonus does three things: It increases minimum conversion time by 1 interval (about 1.25 seconds), maximum conversion time by 2 intervals and roughly halves the conversion chance per interval. For the record, the standard values for these are 4-10 intervals with a 25-28% chance (The latter is what I got in testing, though in the data files it seems to be 25 - not sure if the discrepancy is only down to randomness or if there's some extra effect that slightly improves chances for some reason)
- Again for the record, faith increases minimum conversion time by 2 intervals, maximum by 4 and lowers the conversion chance to about 9%.
- What you said about buildings not being affected by the teuton bonus (1:58) is not correct. It's less noticeable because they take such a long time to convert from the start (15-25 intervals) but both the min/max times as well as the conversion chance are affect. You can e.g. test the min time by having 40 monks convert one building - enough that it will basically always be converted at the minimum interval. For teutons, that's consistenly a second more.
However, this doesn't matter much in-game for the same reason you probably missed it - the conversion times are so long that the percentual change isn't very big. So instead of saying buildings are not affected, "not affected in a very relevant way" would be a bit more accurate :P
For some additional explanations on these mechanics anyone interested can have a look at www.aoe2sheet.info/knowledge_base.html#monk-mechanics
You can shove Teutonics in Medieval APCs (Rams and Towers) which makes them a good deal faster, and also gives a good arrow sponge via the Ram if you're rushing them at Archers. This is also worth noting as the sole use for the Siege Tower.
Teutons make a really good ally in team games because while their comp is very expensive, it's really hard to kill. So if they get going it's just one giant death ball just coming at you and you cannot really do anything about it.
So excited that Spirit is gonna have a ton of new material to cover this fall with AOE2 DE

Looking forward to the overviews of the new civs as soon as the DE gets released.
not before a remake of the Britons and Huns, the only 2 Civs that do not have the A-F scoring system we love.
Same!
Don't forget the Slavs though. :))
Well +1/(castle) +2(imperial) melee armor for Barracs and Stable units is nice bonus thou,...
Of course they would massively buff the Teutons about a year after this re-upload. Now barracks units get +1 armor in castle age and another +1 in imperial age, so they've got some really OP halberdiers now.
What makes halberdiers having a couple extra armor do for them, exactly? Honest question.
@@hahaureadmyname Makes them stronger against Cavalry, so they survive longer, so they can do more of the really high bonusdmg against them. Also better at Trashwars. Helps also really good against Elephants, to negate their trample dmg.
@@matzematze4397 I just checked. Trample damage ignores armor.
@@hahaureadmyname This only counts for trample dmg from Cataphract and Slaws Inf, not for Elephants.
@@matzematze4397 I see.
One thing to note about Ironclad is that it makes your rams basically immune to Chu Ko Nus, which normally hard counter rams. Chu Ko Nu do 0 melee damage with every arrow, meaning they deal an effective 15 extra damage against rams per salvo. With Ironclad that's negated completely.
Tutonic knights the most badass units..... never stop walking till their last breath😂😂🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

*_The Leiçiai send their regards._*
I have watched the old Teutons overview this morning, thinking how much I would like to see a rework of it.
Now, this is a welcome surprise. Keep up the great work!
Teutons trush is so underrated. The only civ with feudal towers that can't be countered by towers
Well, I thought Teutons is a top tier tower rush civ.
Cheaper farms work wonders for such a scarce-eco strategy.
Also, a Persian style TC rush is still a thing on a map like Socotra and Inner Circle.
0:05 this is the notification sound I have for my phone. What a happy coincidence to hear that just before seeing a Teutons overview
Storm Raider that's actually cool as hell
Fuck I was thinking of doing the same thing
“Average barracks”?
They have the entire champion line, halberdiers, and every blacksmith upgrade. What more could you want?
True
Fr tho
I am guessing he is aiming for some civilisation bonuses that directly target the Barracks, like faster production.
A- is fine, consider the civs with strong bonuses for infantry, like japaneses, aztecs and goths.
No Garland wars.
One does not simply fight a Teutonic Knight.
@Arielle Fenix wait for it

Ahhh....the Teuton Town Centre Rush when the game was first released, had to wait for the expansion for a patch.
This video made me realize of something. Spirit does better by giving all-round civ overviews rather than "playthroughs" or "easy way". We can analyze the civ in every aspect and make use of the information Spirit provides us so that we can improve on our matches on that particular civ.
Thanks a lot Spirit for showing us the right way to play AoE2!
I still remember that was 2009 i was playing aoe2 pirated version and my mom caught me ( because I am too afraid to tell me mom )
And now after 10 years I played many games but Aoe2 is still my favourite 😊 and This channel too
Because I never won a game playing with hard AI but this channel helped me to win a game against computer
And I am very thankful to Spirit of the law
Thanks buddy ❤
First off wanna say I love these kinds of videos and am hoping for another aoe game with new civs or changes to cover. Now to the point, I fell in love with the Teutons after playing with them for a match. I’ll admit I am at beginner level aoe, barely beating standard AI under an 1 hour. However I am improving and the Teutons respect my playstyle of choice, building a massive economy, defend, then spend it all on a carefully planned military. I really like the farm discount and bonuses to build my economy faster than other civs that specialize in offense. I hate the quick game and don’t mind taking 20 - 30 minutes to castle age. I still like speed, but prefer to take my time then strike. Well good luck with future uploads and thank you for helping me improve at this really hard game.
I am always waiting to hear, "Hey guys Spirit of the Law here..."
Really waited for this. This re-overview was really needed.
I kinda hoped for a mention of the siege tower taxi for teutonic knights though.
Thanks Spotl!
Thanks. I think it would have been worth mentioning how fighting early, and delaying the enemy castle time makes the farm bonus even better though. Farms are bad because they cost wood, and gathering wood early sucks hard, because there's a cap on villager production, and only 1 upgrade. As teutons, it's always good to hit the opponent hard enough to force him into as late a castle time as possible, to force him onto inefficient farming. The bonus kicks in after local food drys up, and that's not based on how far up the tree everyone is, so if you drag all their food out into units, you have this huge advantage. drushing and killing enemy boar is a very effective method for accentuating their bonus.
Have you thought about making a video on tower rushing? I see too many people making towers and then not protecting them with palisades or stone walls. They are cheap, and make such a huge difference. You can wall in your villagers before beginning a tower to protect them from vills and other melee units. There's a whole tactical layer to making forward tower bases and most people dont even know about it.
How to world dominate with Teuton Knights:
1) Buy siege towers
2) Garrison TKs into STs
3) ????
4) Domination!
GGEZ
Mongol Siege Ram or STs are better but they still get wrecked by hand cannons or cataphract
Blitzkrieg intensifies
Always been one of my favorite factions since the olden times. The Teutonic Knight pain train is always hilarious, especially when your opponent has an abundance of cavalry and too few archers.
This channel has more passion than some if not most of the "popular" channel combined
I'm so happy that you're going back to remake some of these!
I fall asleep to these reviews at least once a week.
Such calming....
Teutons was my favorite civ of all time when I was a child, so this vid hit me in the feels.
Now the only thing I feel is the need to see the Overviews of DE's civilizations.
(Fall come now!)
The Daut of all civilizations
Fantastic overview with top notch production. Well done sir, keep it up!
Fast castle knight rush backed up by Teutonic knights with a nice and close castle drop is a pretty devastating strategy if you can pull it off
Well done. A good one, Thanks a lot. Good civilization including a big variety which includes Monks, Halberds, Paladins with bloodlines, Bombard cannons, Hand cannoneers and even extremely rare Siege Onagers.
Nice! A rework of some of the old reviews is what I was hoping for!
Spirit, I wish you streamed on Twitch! I would definitely like to watch you play this while somewhat interacting with chat. You seem like the kind of guy that would have a really well put together stream. Anyone else??
SOTL isn't really an active player... super casual at best. He also isn't a huge fan of showing his standard games (see his comments under his road to 1800 series). If you want good gameplay, there are plenty of top players streaming on Twitch :)
@@Naverb I am a very causal player myself. I enjoy his gameplay regardless of skill. I just think it would be cool to see him stream on Twitch and interact with a live audience. Doesn't necessarily have to be competitive. Also, it's another avenue to branch out and show more people how cool this game is and how awesome he is as a content creator. Just my opinion👍🏼
Spirit uploads
*everyone liked that*
I don't know if I'm remembering correctly, but back in the AoK days, not only did Teutons get +5 range on their Town Centers, but they would also benefit from Fletching and Bodkin Arrow for even more range. Scorpions too, ending up with 11 range with Seige Engineers for civs with Bracer. Gotta love the older days!
Instant liked, I've been waiting for the Teutons remake since you have improved dramatically since the first time you made it. Thank you, this is my 2nd favorite civ
i love the quality of production of your videos! you are the greatest underrated youtubers!
Spirit : re do a civ overview
Me : a surprise sure but a welcome one
The strategy I developed in my first few games was Tutonic Knights in some Siege Towers. Easily beats their low pierce armor and speed.
Finally my new teuton civ overview !!! Been waiting for that one for such a long time. Love on you
Coming Home from a 12-hour-shift this video made my day :)
Thanks, Spirit!
I thought Spirit of the Law was going to mention how the Teutons benefit from having Siege Towers because they are great transporters for Teutonic Knights due to their fast speed.
I am so excited... My comment got valued... Slavs (Farming updated, grades not given in last one) and Franks (having an unbiased overview 😅😅 after aoestats.io's discovery of their 1vs1 stat)
This makes me so happy, to see this one redone. I was hoping you would get around to it eventually!
First I thought this was just the old Teutons overview
I almost had a heart attack when I saw the word 'remake'
Keep these up mr Spirit!
Time to drop all my other games and start playing AOE2 again
Same

hey SOTL, I took the 'best civ for you' quiz and got the teutons. so, i play a game against japanese, twice, and get hammered, twice. hope ur happy
It feels great to see a civ review refresh from you. Looks as good as new anyways. Although, I'm really looking forward to a top 5 navy civs video by you.
Ive been rewatching all the civ reviews for fifth time and this is a God send
Ah there's such a charm to these old Spirit of the Law videos... Wait what?
I don't even play AoE 2.
But i love watching n' listening to your videos anyway
Ikr they are so we'll written
Got quite excited when seeing this overview. Love it.
I'm glad you're updating the earlier civ overviews
Teutons review rework?
Alright boys, time for the crusade, to reclaim the holy land.
Do it.
Gott will es! :-D
Hey Spirit at 8:49 you stated that the Elite Teutonic Knight's only melee counter is the Elite Cataphract, but by the looks of it you tested it in equal numbers. I'm curious, how do the two fair with equal resources?
Done some testings, the cataphracts still win, though their value seems to skyrocket as the numbers go up.
In battles with more than 35-40 units involved, the Teutonic Knights get melted, which shows the stacking strength of trample damage.
Finally, I've tried a "post-imp simulation/testing", where I add up the total amount of "trash resources" and then add the gold cost in the mix, as if it was converted via the market at the lowest rate, meaning, 100 "trash res" = 14 gold (or 17 in this case, since both civs get Guilds). This way, the Cats cost around 511 resources (75 gold/0.17 + 70 food) and T.Knights 320 resources (40 gold/0.17 + 85 food.
If I use this analogy, and put equal resources, the teutonic knights might win, if the overall numbers on both sides are low. In mass battles (for instance, 30 cats vs 47 knights), the trample damage kicks in heavily, and the byzantine mounted goliaths prevail.
An expensive unit like the Teutonic Knight won't win a battle with equal resources that it lost with equal numbers.
The question is, though: why would anyone launch a TK army without any support units? That just shouts for a disaster. You meet 3 Mangonels and you're doomed.
@@leventebardossy5962 the only unit that magonel can hit and run XD
Thanks for the remake. I think that you could keep updating the oldest ones. Love from Mexico, keep the awesome work.

So I tried to play as the Teutons for the first time yesterday when I saw this vid off your Patreon, when I have been playing as the Goths for the last week. And HOLY CRAP you were not lying when you said they are slow and “amble” toward their enemies. Because I am such a slow decision maker I just sent so many pointlessly to their deaths because I thought they already made it to their target when they were actually still walking toward them. Was playing against Korean civ and was demolished. 😭✨ #noob

I wonder if you'll have to redo all of them again with AOE 2 DE
I guess

Hey SOTL, I really love your videos. I wish you can discuss a little bit more about the roles of the civilization in a team game like as a pocket or flank. And as a DM player I would love to hear more about your thoughts in DM matches :) Keep it up!

Yesss, please remake all of the civ reviews, you are so interesting to watch
Teutons don't have as good defenses as Byzantines. You don't want to be falling back to towers with your defenders, you need their mobility to kill the enemy siege that are flattening your buildings. Most players don't research Murder Holes anyway because it doesn't make an impact in a real game (infantry usually don't hack away at a tower continuously and rams are too sturdy anyway).
Teutons' only advantage in defense over Byzantines is that their castles are a bit better at sniping enemy artillery, and that their siege have more range.
