I had the world record before but Redlash (a 2100 elo player) took it by quite a lot. Finally sat down and took it back. Thanks for the great feedback!
In the original conqueror when I was a young boy I would build wall along the entire Coast line then just use galleys, fireship to defend lmao this guy make it even better
@@TheMcGreevy haha oh yes I last played at the dawn of the dukes expansion but I just kind of got busy with other stuff. Nowadays I just watch awesome AOE2 videos like yours man :)

@@Alpqmzasd Oh I totally understand, speedrunning is about breaking the game and not for everyone. I do blind play through every campaign for fun before I start breaking them if that helps 😂
When this popped up in my recommendations, my first thought was "how did he manage to build and defend a Wonder and win by Wonder victory in just 8 minutes?" XD Nice work! I didn't think winning that way, and so quickly, would be even possible!
Yes i remember early game micro is important for first big battle. Early elite cannon galleon tech is key against BBT. I used to wait for first 5 mins before massing ships. btw really well played. Just recently few hours ago i saw Chazb did beat your run with new record of 13:53.
Hello again! Thank you! I had barely slept in 3 days before this so there were a lot of mistakes. I just thought I'd get more than a couple weeks before someone tried it 😆 Just watched Chaz and his is the same other than dry dock and avoiding the mistakes I made, so I'll see if that tech feels worthwhile. Probably won't be for a while though as I'm moving next week.
i think your eco was balanced pretty well but noticed a lot of overkill on some of the bombard towers and docks. you could optimize your ships better and have the fast fires finish off transports while you transport your own rams and onagers earlier. id like to see a TAS or a fully optimized run which can be used to inspire better real runs
@@ekim613 Yeah, I didn’t expect this run to get so much attention. I’d barely slept for 3 days and forgotten to press record for some 14m times. I was so tired I just took this one, uploaded and moved on 😂 Runs like the Hastings run are much more precise. There are lot of ways to improve this. Even just taking the fight immediately without the extra 3 cannons would be good. Landing earlier, spreading ships in smaller groups. A lot. I don’t think I’d ever want to go as far as TAS though. Age speedrunning is pretty niche 😂
@@TheMcGreevy anything with world record in the title must get promoted pretty hard! At least u also recognize other improvements, you may have to make them if someone else does too ;) As far as TAS goes, I consider them the ideal benchmark of theorycrafting. Like pausing the game at one second and setting all the initial commands immediately; vils/ships/techs etc Good luck on future runs mate 👍
Getting the wonder up isn’t required to win the scenario but it’s definitely more fun to defend it as intended. I only did it this way because it’s faster to break the speedrun record. Thanks for watching 🫡
@@MorleyGames1 Haha I’m a little underwhelmed but I do appreciate that we are going to have points deducted for ffp violations and have almost no money to spend. I’d have preferred Potter but we don’t have much pull this year. Just hoping we don’t go back down!
Pasé un muy mal rato tratando de evitar que destruyeran la maravilla, y este man, los derrota sin siquiera empezar a construirla, WTF? 🤣🤣🤣 Haces que esto se vea ridículamente facil xdxdxdddd
I'll never be able to look at this scenario the same way ever again
I'm sorry!
decisive ship battle 10/10

i watched this video while drunk. I enjoyed it a lot. Liked

@@danielrodriguesaoe Haha thank you! Comments like this are what makes these fun for me 🫡
Very nice. Feel like grouping ships together and switching with hotkeys might shave off a few seconds also
@@AllardWolff Thank you! Yes it definitely can be improved. I had two better runs before realizing I didn’t hit record…
I watched this video while sober. I enjoyed it to an average degree. Acknowledged
@@JacksonBillie You sir haven’t been sober since you hit drinking age
@@TheMcGreevy i have never been unsober ever in my life thank you
Best defense is offense.
@@Avinash_Lincoln Truth!
i love when the scenarios in rts just give you the resources

" *nah we rush* 💪🔥"
I find it so funny you seem to be using a mod or something for old AoE2 noises, but you have the Definitive Edition campaign voice lines
@@SarudeDanstorm well spotted! I do use mods for old visuals and sounds. I struggle to differentiate the mounted units in the game if I don’t
You might want to edit the video data in CZcams’s Video Manager to “Age of Empires 2: Definitive Edition” instead of “Age of Empires (1997)”
@@tiestofalljays thanks, i had no idea it was tagged like that!

I also destroyed all the ports only when I had enough forces 😂, not knowing that I could win by destroying "purple"
@@nguyenhuyhoang1946 The most annoying thing for me is when I miss a transport and suddenly see my base dying 😂
I struggled to finish this mission on hardest difficulty until I understand I had to attack instead of defend XD
Haha I did the same. I always play through them properly before I speedrun and I spent a long time killing all those landings XD
Nice one
Thank you!

There is probably some architect at the wonder site who is very irritated with you.

Thank you! Yes, I did the same thing when I first did the campaign too so you aren't alone :D
What difficulty?
@@RoryT1000 This is hard difficulty, and fast speed because they require that on speedrun.com. There are categories for standard and Xbox too.
i really want to see more ships
