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!
@@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 😂
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 :)
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 👍
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
@@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!
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 🫡
