Wait... Does Darkelf cycle through the various house models to get a specific pattern? The northwest line of houses are all made from the same model, the north east side too... And the south west line is a repeating pattern.
This guy is an artist
I do that too. I think playing just to fight is boring. Gotta make a nice town
I love this style, he just achieved the dream of every player, got all relics, had a wonder and the perfect base.
I wish they'd let you put down roads. I used to make custom maps with roads even for multiplayer
@@The_Gallowglass There are some games that have the same medieval style and city building and battles, some have this feature. But nothing compares to the AoE series.
It would be nice though, and it could work like a caravanserai speed buff (and even have a passive bonus for the romans based on history), but the buff would work to everyone, except you are not able to farm over it.
T90 your age of empires job would not be berry forager. You would be manning an outpost and watching the battles.
...until some Swordsman comes along and is like "what are you doing up there talking to yourself? get down here and fight with us!"
"i am live streaming, i cant right now!"
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?"
Somebody has to man the outpost. Where else would we get the vision?
the planks have eyes..@@nicholastaylor8613

Youd put a basicly blind guy to be the townwatch?
I like to think that darkelf screenshots the cities after victory or while playing when they reach certain standars and keep them all neatly organized in a folder and maybe look back at them from time to time.
I remember the first video on him and I love how he's still consistent in his way of playing after all these years. Truly a legend!
I remember when AOE 2 first came out introducing Female Villagers/Units for the first time It completely changed the way I played the game mainly because how I was raised. I used to Ctrl group my female Villagers and Garrison them if I was attacked. I also put female villagers on farms because it was less physical work. I miss being a kid I had a great Imagination and Role played every campaign mission for years...Now that I'm all grown up I find these videos and I wanted to thank T90 for posting these videos...takes me back to my childhood and reliving it was a pleasure thank you
DarkElf is my spirit animal. I mean his base is so beautiful, plus the wonder, castles on the corners... this is a work of art!
I'm curious how far up the ladder a pro could get if he has to use DarkElf's build order.
this could actually be a tournament. players choose maps, civs and legendary build orders with penalties, yellow and red cards if they aren't being followed:
- legend of wall
- i sit
- fatslob
- ace of emeralds
- darkelf
I wonder if this could be modded somehow or created as a custom scenario, where only male villagers could build/mine/chop wood and only female villagers could hunt/farm/collect berries (or vice versa, or different combinations). And then I'd want to see that in a community game and people getting frustrated af about it. xD
@@steveolotu52 I feel fatslob would be a full tournament by itself.
@@steveolotu52Ace of Emeralds is 1.7k - 1.8k ELO now. He would destroy a tournament following his own low ELO strat.
I never could win multiplayer AOE2 back in the day, I just love making my city as pretty as possible. Including sparing certain trees to create pleasant parks and plazas. I've always wished roads were a buildable option...
I used to fence up my sheep so they couldn’t be stolen and I never ate them. The deer either. I felt too bad.
@@Heartwing13 Were the sheep surrounded by a palisade wall? With a mill and a single house off to the side of the city?
The Emperor Diocletian strategy for winning at AOE2.
Do you think he has only one Town Centenr because forcing gender specific jobs from multiple town centers would be unmanageable? Imagine this guy with 3 TC's.
I'd imagine working exclusively with one TC has also vastly improved his ability to keep it running at all times. If he had 'normal' idle TC time at this Elo, he'd fall way behind on eco most of the time.
He won't compromise on the aesthetics of having multiple TCs, so he compensates with a God-like ability to produce vills out of his one and only TC. It's like natural evolution.
I played with 1 TC for my first 10 years because I never knew why I needed more and wondered why AI made more.
@@paweborkowski6959 that's some dedication here x) playing 10 years whitout care about improving or learn what is optimise blow my mind x) i cant even start a game whitout commit douzaine of hour learning anything about the game befor i even think of bying/DL it, and that goes for any pvp game xD
i'm amazed by people who didnt fear/care about misstake and can just play x)
what is the purpose if you dont mind me asking@@paweborkowski6959
Would love to hear DarkElf mind out loud when he plays just how and why he/ she is making their decisions
I played dark elf before your first video dropped. He beat my scout rush and by the time I got back to going after his base he already had his 4 castles up and yes he did get a wonder up before he beat me.
T90- You need to do DarkElf a favor and create a mod that changes the TownCenter to have a grassy floor.
Love Darkelfs unconventional conventional approach. Breaks the mold, it is after all a game based in history so its only right to RP into the times!
The ladies should be protected at all costs - W
The base reaches the popcap.. This guy is a proper legend. He does what I tried to do twenty years ago as a kid but in ranked!
He got 100 villagers.
This is my favorite low elo legend by far. Long live Dark Elf!
No.. this is just a legend, low elo legends are just random no-names playing.
Dark Elf should make scenarios, just imagine how satisfying they'd feel.
His play style is so wholesome. I love it! Reminds me of when I used to do this as a kid. We all did! Haha
I'd like to see wonders work in ranked. It could add needed change up the arena meta.
what u mean? games are faster without wonder victory and since arena meta is mostly about fast imp and trebs wonder does nothing to change that :D
I was slightly bothered by him researching champion, gambesons, supplies and not making a single militia line unit… but then at minute like 50 he queued a million champions and made my day
He’s a gentleman, keeps the ladies safe at home.
DarkElf is the most chad player of any videogame.
- Plays one of the most competitive and difficult RTS games of all time
- Ranked PVP
- Spends every game doing nothing but building the most aesthetically pleasing civilisation he can, ignores the meta entirely
- All his APM and attention is spent pointlessly assigning men and women to specific gender work roles instead of tryharding to win the match
- Spends all his resources and manpower to build a wonder that does absolutely nothing but look nice.
- No online presence, no CZcams or Twitch channel, doesn't do it for views or profit because it's all for his own satisfaction.
- Still wins matches.
So incredibly based.
with the thousands of played games at 700 elo . he dont really have to play good and win :D but still based... i like legend of darkelf from beggining
Drinking game: take a shot every time T90 says DarkElf
Now I can't see straight.
The beautiful thing about this is that DarkElf still has 50% win ratio, like almost every other AoE2 player. So instead of sweating to try and improve more and more he has experiences the sweetness of victory just as much as all of us while enjoying himself to the fullest.
I played dark elf about two months ago! I was so excited!
I played DarkElf the other day! Didn't know about these videos until after haha
I just watched the first episode and youtube recommended me this one, but im definitly gonna watch the old video.
DARK ELF IS MY IDOL. WHAT A LEGEND.
The way he pre-calculated the offset needed for those houses at the south-west is quite impressive IMO, given everything else he manages at the same time. I started playing some weeks ago and at ~50 games I'm barely above 700, despite being a tryhard. (Never seriously played an RTS tho.) I wonder if DarkElf has some type of autism, which might explain the preoccupation with gender roles for villagers and perfect base layout, and the ease with which he calculates those offsets. Or maybe I'm exaggerating how difficult it is to do that coz I'm still a noob at the game... Would love to see if he manages to keep doing that in more stressful games.
Keep in mind he's had thousands of games worth of practice.
Calculating the offset isn't too hard with some practice. Farms are all 3x3, and if you know you want 2 layers of farms, you just need to recognize 6 tiles. You can turn grid on to show the exact tile counts too. After that, it's just getting used to it.
Dark Elf as an early Christmas present!! Does that mean our favorite black forest man is back for actual Christmas???
T90 you are flawless and make Zero mistakes!
Also you were right, according to Merriam-Webster dictionary, you pronounced composite correctly
well according to Cambridge and Oxford, it's COM-posit in the UK (and it's what I'm familiar with here in Canada). pretty clearly a regional thing like with so many other words ex. aluminium
I'm so happy to see Dark Elf again and be loyal to his gameplay style! I used to do like him and separate the villagers' jobs according to medieval gender roles when I started playing 1999 at 12 years old! I continued to do this at least into my early teens just for the historical accuracy sake. AoE2 made me even more interested in history than I was before and it might have led me later to become an History major at university. I hope we will see some more Dark Elf games in the future, I just adore those simcity players! AoE 2 is one of the best games out there for that and I'm a sucker for beautiful cities/bases. I used to make beautiful bases in Command and Conquer 2: Tiberian Sun as well with themed industrial districts separated by walls and gates with pavement everywhere. It was a lot of fun!
As for what job you would do in the medieval era, there is another reason why you would probably not become a hunter. In those times, the woods belonged to the aristocracy and game was reserved from them. Hunting these was considered poaching and the penalty was the death penalty! :) If I had a choose a job to do in that era, I would have loved to be an artisan. I'm fascinated by blacksmithing, so I would love to do that or maybe even a more specialized job like armorsmith. Of course, I would love to be a mounted man-at-arm if I could, but this isn't a very realistic prospect, isn't it? :D
Assuming I can speak for Darkelf, because I also put female villagers on farms, exclusively female, also in a fully walled compound with at least one defensive castle standing nearby.
The concept is.... in case the game gets messy and villagers run around you'll always know the female villagers go to the farm. Why female? Easy to distinguish. They wear skirts and the colour is easy to spot. If there are vils who wear hats on their head I'm sure they'll have a particular job assigned to them as well. It's not about male or female. Why house walls? Farms feed the nation. The woodmen and the miners are migrating from resource to resource while the farmers stay at the same spot for the entire game. Why not wall the farmers in since it's so easy to do. The pros can make do without the walls because they're good at micro & macro. As for us noobs, we need the game somewhat manageable to enjoy it. Well, even the pros games were ruined when the opponent raided their farms.
But unlike Darkelf my villagers go to wood or mines first before selecting the female to go to the farm, not right away. Or male villagers can do the farms first before going to other resources. It's easy to spot a shirtless chad among the Marylin Monroe skirts. The skirt ones also go to gold, the shirtless ones go to stone. I don't build wonders.
As someone said in the live chat, Darkelf should play Stronghold Crusader. I'd really like to see what masterpiece he can create sim city castle building.
Relic Victory, Wonder Victory and Conquest Victory all in the one game hahaha
DarkElf is a perfectionist, an 1 TC eco expert, and a great organization master. Got to put some respect on his name!
Nothin quite like a good sim city layout. This guy is a future city planner.
I"ve only ever played campaign or against AI before HD and DE. And I always had certain city layouts that have stuck with me.
Dark Elf's base is so pretty!
Was in the middle of a killing spree on Elden Ring when I saw the notification. Here I am now :) Back Home
DarkElf is an AoE2 Player with style.
It's because composite bowmen look like elven archers in LOTR
When the enemy ... Wonders .. about darkelf
Actually in 2005 or something my dad teached me that female villagers go on farms ... for me it stayed like that till i heard from "The legend of Darkelf" a few weeks ago ... and than i just figuered out that no one else did that (well besides Darkelf) and i stopped doing it
I just love the fact that DarkElf has super good eco right up to 100 villagers, and then no more villagers are needed for his project of a game, just amazing stuff
DarkElf is my mood kindred.
This is almost exactly how I like playing AoE.
I want there to be a dark elf achievement for building the dark elf base
Imagine it! Dark Elf would totally get it! 😂
OMG this dude is playing anno1404 with his farms and buildings... never waste a tile XD
I wonder if that person who would collect the outside gold and stone first has changed his strat b/c of the carts now.
In terms of city aesthetics, this guy is 2+k ELO. Just amazing
DarkElf is aesthetic as heck
Been dividing my villagers like this ever since my childhood aswell. Female on food and gold and male on stone and wood. For a reason I would blame my autism, but I also found out it's helpful when in chaos villagers mix up. Its easier to know the females are either gold or food and male wood or stone.
A true legend.
I could watch you cast DarkElf exclusively and have a great time every time.
I think that if Dark Elf wants to play like a meme lord, he should structure his builds to pivot according to his male to female ratios.
Omg, new DarkElf just dropped
Well dang, reading the chat in the first minutes, I learned that the Cities of Gold aired in English-speaking countries too, and was apparently decently known?
One of the best, I love this guy.
That base and exactly 100 vils is so satisfying
I played against DarkElf too a few days ago. :D
In No Man's Land (the old RTS) female villagers had bonuses for food gathering.
Over a quarter of a million T90 farms placed, impressive!
Take a shot every time T90 says dark elf
Making exactly 100 villagers. I bet that guy’s pee jars are lined up really neatly. gg
He built so many wonders, the hamster couldn't keep track
I absolutely love this! I don't like to play arabia just because it is such an open map and thus I tried also to arrange the farms perfectly and wall it with buildings, but so far without success as I always get early rushed😅
NOW I GOT THE BLUEPRINTS! THANKS T90 AND DARKELF!!!!
38:07 DarkElf doesn't build Wonders. He summons them!
I think dark elf wants to protect the women inside the city walls 😂😂😂
That city is so beautiful and satisfying.
Dark elf has perfected the art of base building
anyone realizes how he built exactly 100 vills? I mean, is there at least ANYTHING this guy left to coincidence?!
To get to the point where you can manage playing with such odd restrictions and not be at single-digit ELO is honestly impressive.
Dark elfs Base.... Its Beautiful 😢
to be fair, I would want to live in a darkelf made city
Beautiful.
Guess DarkElf's least favourite Civ?
It's Malians. Cuz they've Gbetos. 😂😂
I think DarkElf was the former captain of a ship. "Women & Children first!" The reason he's putting the females in the middle, working on the farms is simply because if his town was to be raided, the only villagers that can be killed would be the men. The women would garrison inside the tc. Or probably, he also doesn't want the women doing hard labour like hitting a tree stump or a stone all day. He imo is an old school gentleman! 💂
prettiest home base ever 😍😍
The wonder is an armenian chuch, which are (architecturally speaking) particular. And it is really well design in the game, really recognisable (is it correct to say?) More precisely, I think it's inspired by Holy Ejmiatsin Cathedral.
39:15 T90 misplaced 261 933 farms.
the placement of goats under his TC is soo good
DarkElf has created the ideal society
In a weird way, the male/female villager thing does help to balance the economy!
I played Darkelf the other day. We're about the same ELO.
I was like "hey, weren't you in that youtube video!?"
He was like "1"
So how did it go?
I don't remember sadly.
Idk how to check. my aoe name is peach bother if anyone bothers@@BombaJead
A player after my own heart.
How to stop DarkElf: Build stone wall pieces around the TC!
DarkElf is a real legend!
be cool if they leant into the base-building more, maybe upscale everything so you can get a sick town going late-game. Especially Aoe 4, games hyper pretty but always over before you can sit back and enjoy it
I say composite the same way you do T90 and I’m on the opposite side of the country. I have heard it say it the way chat says but rarely.
all my homies love darkelf
I wonder if he likes the civ for the ox cart cause then he doesn't have to build buildings for the resources that might get in the way of his simming.
Lmao it looks like my favorite build in Stronghold 2 ... :D Simple and beautifull design xDD lmao
When T90 says "this game could be over fast" and you see you're only 50% through the video... 11
APM is an useless indicator. If you spam clicks it will increase your APM while you're not really being efficient at all, since you're just spamming commands over the same action. I believe DarkElf (since he comes from SimCity) isn't really playing that way, where most players spam their commands, he is not.
I could see somebody with a base like that playing more carefully and precise.
I would not be able to win against DarkElf because I don't want to destroy his beautiful town.
Anyone have a link to this previous Dark Elf video?
No link to the previous video?
Love Dark Elf❤❤❤
Love that building! Do you think you need more mills to have every farm adjacent to one?
T90 still has it....
It doesn't show how many wonders DarkElf has built because the site doesn't think that number can be correct.
I think that fast archers would suck at this elo. They are micro intensive, so you either use the archers, or build your eco. I think outbooming him is easier, he has only one tc, which sucks for his way of playing.
I WONDER what Darkelf is doing... he finished the wonder the minute he reached the final goal of 100 vils!!!!
