I think gurjarahs are pretty underated, really good tech tree and both their unique techs are very strong. Next most underrated is Burmese, arambai are kind of busted, strong eco, lots of good options for other units and top tier trash units.

>>2404011
Bad castle age transition for most units. Better off playing Tatars.

I feel like they should be more popular. Extremely full tech tree, donjons to rush or defend and cavalier can just ignore halb/camel to a degree. I guess it's just their lack of eco bonus holding them back, like many strong civs.

AoE 2 invitational next, no meme players like MaryMaybe and Dantes
>>
>>2406377
I want artosis but he has said before that aoe2 is a boring game. maybe he can get day9 since he was in that 1v7 he did last month.
>>
>>2406399
>SC fag
Meh.
>>
>>2406399
He mentioned talking to Day9 and many others like SingSing, from the list of people he talked to it sounds like it is likely to be a 16 player lineup and Hera would like to invite some of the players from the warcraft tourney too
>>
>>2406405
>Tyler1 playing AoE2
That should go well.
>>
>>2405778
I'm still looking

Grubby is going to be playing seriously in a tournament for the first time in 20 years for this aoe2 invitational. I like the guy but part of me wants him to lose because I know he's a salty rager tryhard deep inside. Day9 and singsing will be cool to see too
>>
>>2406332
the jeet&flush is evolving into an even earlier jeet&'jon... tremble team game enjoyers
>>
>>2406575
isn't grubby like 1700, he's gonna absolutely wipe the floor with the whole tournament
day9 for example is like 1100 max
>>
>>2406636
Yep, he went 1700 with hindustanis like a month ago so hera should realize he'll have to invite some sweats to not have it be a stomp
>>
>>2406636
I feel like a lot of the players are going to be good, micro is the trickiest thing to perfect, strategy and decision making can be taught. If Daut can be a pro then Day9 can get to 1500.
>>2406648
I feel like Grubby might be a little hardstuck, he has a headstart but give other players a month to grind and they will catch up, one of the first things Hera taught Grubby was crossbow timing which can destroy a lot of sub 1500 players. The skill required to jump from 1000 to 1500 is less than the skill required to jump from 1500 to 1600

I don't think the fear of playing ranked ever really goes away, like each time I get close to my elo high I get scared of playing. Team games tend to be less scary though.

What Warcraft 3 does to a player.

Well played by Lewis tho, he's going to win some tournaments in the future.

So the young lad is the goat now? 16 S-tiers in a row is crazy

Hera needs to join his own tournament and then he can win

Dave was solo streaming and now he went to T90's wedding thing so no more Dave for the rest of the event
>>
>>2409115

today T-West + Ornlu co-cast for Hera's defeat was peak commentary
Ornlu talks much less retarded shit when T-West is around

I was trying to find this fuckers stream yesterday, thinking how could he miss the hera vs goat series, so that explains it

>>2409222
I would hope so.

>>2409305
snek unwashed. He will take it
>>
>>2409204
for what purpose?
>>
>>2409350

Viper is on vacation, hes currently away from home, so hes playing the tournament on a laptop at a hotel
>>
The question is if Sebastian can beat Lierrey
>>
>>2409761
does a single person care though?
>>
>>2409371
celt paladin would be more interesting if it was tankier rather than faster, and slower knights would match up better with faster halbs, so that they make a better composition together. the knights are slow sure, but the halbs are fast enough that the knights can fall back to them while the whole group can choose its engagements against most infantry and archers comps.

right now, the only real benefit of husbandry is in hussar raids in late game.
>>
>>2409538
Jeetmaster has done more with less, Viper can manage.
>>
>>2409848
Why you keep bringing him up in completely unrelated conversations
>>
>>2409763
Now that Hera is no longer going to be the champion, one of these two will take his place.
At least 5 people care.

kinda funny to see these ecelebs learning aoe2 and getting better than 1k elo shitters in less than a week of playing
>>
>>2410287
They have hera on tap for every question, they get professional coaching, and playing games is their job so they have all the time in the world for it.
Retarded comparison.
>>
>>2410340
>You need professional coaching and Hera there to answer every question to get above 1k elo
>>
>>2410342
If you want to do it in less than 1 week of playing like you originally wrote? Yes.
>>
It took me 5 months to get to 1500 1v1 elo.
>>
>>2410344
Small correction becasue I'm unhappy with how I worded it. You don't need it, but it certainly helps a lot.

People underestimate the value of having a twitch chat to answer all your questions on demand. It doesn't have to be Hera and it doesn't just apply to AoE2. E-celebs live life on the easiest difficulty.

Its been rough for some of them, I landed around 1200 from placements, some of them are just reaching 1k. Also most 1ks aren't even breathing, you can go seven tcs and win
>>2410340
First they have to know what to ask Hera, imagine you ask him 20 questions and they are bad questions, now imagine 20 different people asking.
>>2410346
It took Grubby 1 week to get back to 1500, SingSing will meet him soon.
>>2410509
99% of them are clueless about the game, low elo equals bad advice, no 1k is going to teach you how to get to 1.5k
>>
>>2410509
People also overestimate your capability to focus on stuff while still having to pay attention to simps and thank for their money all the time.
>>
New people getting into aoe2 is always great but twitch viewers are bottom of the barrel
>>
Mongols pickers are going to send grubby on the road to 1400
>>
>>2410509
Twitch chat is giving bad/incorrect advice half the time
>>
>>2410346
Think it took me like 7 months to get to 1200 although I wasn't playing super frequently and another 7 to get to 1700
>>
You guys should be queue sniping these faggy twitch ecelebs and doing troll shit against them, currently they are being coached by pros only to learn how to play meta vs meta. Get on ladder and clap them with meme strats!

That's exactly how it was in AoE1. They didn't even have unique units.

>>2411737
We need a RoR expansion with Scythians, Celts, Germans and Gauls.
We also deserve unique unit upgrades for each civ based on Chronicles graphics such as roman-looking upgrade to swordsmen for rome, sakan axemen upgrade for generic axemen, some lancer upgrade to scouts, cretan slingers for minoans, cool chariot archers for sumerians and so on

Light Cavalry counters both. Mix in some pikemen and you might have something unstoppable, until the enemy adds in something like scorpions or mangonels to counter your infantry and skirms, or the enemy has herasy tech making Monks about half as valuable.
