the earlier castle age is imo the most powerful timing in the game, acess to bodkin x-bow, acess to knights, its giving u the potential to snowball the game into a huge advantage immediatly, thats why DauTs market play is so strong, he makes maximum use of this timing advantage

@@HeraAgeofEmpires2was thinking, would it be a good idea to increase the cost of TCs given they are by far the strongest building in the game and outbooming is so strong? Maybe increase stone cost to 125 and wood to 350 so you cant as easily just go up and boom on 3 TCs. Would also be an indirect buff to Britons and Bulgarians. Couple that with a small increase in Monastery/Monk cost as well.

@@daarom3472 while i agree that this could shake up a game and be a very fresh change, i also fear that if that change would be in the game, we would never see a 3 TC boom anymore, because it's costly.

Ay bro. I'm a real G and I respect you. So don't worry about what some nerds say online. What's happening is that you're their same age so they feel intrinsically more jealous and threatened than they would with viper being number 1 because he's seen as older and like their father/older brother Also you present like just one of the boys where as viper represents to them almost a mythical figure (from pre DE) so human crabs in the bucket mentality will hate you more when one of the boys suddenly made it You'll be universally recognized as great when you hit your 30s and poofs don't have childish reasons to hate All the best you been consistently providing the best pro game play and also the best KZitem content tied with SoTL

If i ever think of a suggestion it would have to do with scouts in fuedal and knights in castle. I say this because i often find my self focusing on those 2 units and i am addicted to the diversity of what those 2 units can do depends on the civ. For example, going knights with saracens is nothing special. But they have such an insane knights timing if they focus on wood and gold then they sell the starting stone and the extra wood. Saracens feel like the fastest civ to get a good number of knights out. Most other civs that can advance fast can't do much once they advance but saracens can get get up fast and never stop production. Then there is the sicilian scouts, they are so much fun cuz they can beat spears 1vs1 even and their knights can atomp pikemen. Generally an in depth video about stables is gonna be fun to watch and educational.

about the upgrades, there is a great game of Sitaux where he rushed archers, clicked fletching too fast (he didn't have the ressources but didn't notice for 1/2 minutes) He was dominating every play, but each times his moves looked weird, he placed a perfect harass ut the bowman couldn't hit through a forest (because of 1 less range) When he fought againt a small army of skirms and archers he made the right plays but ended up loosing too much and realised about fletching and ffed

@@TheRealBruceLouis Because Infantry is pitched as the standard unit in the introductory campaign for its simplicity. (Celts are an Infantry Civ to boot) They're frequently featured in many of the fixed battle sequences in the other single player campaigns, and get a lot of exposure despite their near total absence in the multiplayer scene. Since I expect the typical new player to engage in AoE2 in that manner before going into competitive-Ranked, it's not an unreasonable assumption. Frankly, Infantry is hilariously undertuned in AoE2 outside of some specific niche examples. They cost way too much gold to justify their usage outside of Feudal rush strategies.
