Feudal Ram Strategy (Low Elo Legends) 

Pushing enemy deer > 16 idle villagers. Love LeLs.

I love how red types properly as well, adds onto the wholesomeness.

Low Elo Legends > All other content

Red is honestly the most CLEAR player I have ever seen. He types properly (Sign of some one who isn't freaking out) And pushes deer without concentrating on anything else. Wp to these guys!

Its funny how common the term "laming" was on older games in general, you barely hear it used anymore but it was very common in 90's / early 00's games and the exact meaning of it differs from game to game. As far as I know the usage of the term dates all the way back to 80's and the Commodore 64's demoscene where it was very common to call rival groups and people "lamers". You can find hundreds of C64 demos from mid to late 80's on youtube and you'll see the term used a lot. I figure it picked up from that to IRC channels in the 90's and later became a general term used in video games to describe some particular thing that was "lame" to do. One other example I can think of is Star Wars: Jedi outcast where laming meant using the blue lightsaber stance and doing a quick left-right wiggle to kill people that were typing or otherwise chilling :)

To lame someone is to injure someone's leg, so laming in Age of Empires derives from that. You can't 'move' as fast through the ages because you've lost your food. Fun fact of the day!

i always imagined the first time someone stole a boar, the player responded "lame" in chat and the rest was history.

Hidden Cup wishes it could be as exciting as LEL

Whenever I see the map, I feel that it would be interesting if there were tiny 1x1 or 2x2 size shores between rocks for each player (2-3 shores total) in this map and if you find them, you can dock there for nothing but traps. Some civs could use the privilege, players could escape with transport ships and reach to the opponent by surprise.

Thanks for continuing Low Elo Legends T90,it is most enjoyable experience to watch!

The term "to lame" means to cripple or maim something or someone. Laming in AOE means the same thing. Stealing sheep or boar in the early game cripples their eco, giving them a disadvantage. The insult or derisive term "lame" as in: "T90's farm placement is so lame", is derived from the same origin, in that you are referring to that person's skills as so bad that it appears they must be physically crippled or simply broken and unfixable, as a lame horse is considered useless, and would be put down(🐴->☠️). Tamerlane's (from the AOE2:DE Tatar Campaign) name is a European version describing Timur Ghurkani or "Timur the Lame", the Emir of Transoxinia as "lame" because of a leg injury he sustained as a young man.

I would like to see a segment implemented to the LEL format. I think there should be a quick overview after the game for 2-3 minutes and T90 could give tips on how the losing player could have reacted better and turned the tide. Some games are just shit shows but this one is a good example of a pretty common strat (cuman feudal rams) and I don't know if Red would learn anything from rewatching this. Should he have gone into emergency MAA production? Dive the rams and pikes with all his vills? Or is going fast castle with no stone walls on Socotra just suicide and he was screwed no matter what?

I always go Feudal Ram push as Cumans. It hasn't worked yet. :)

I am loving these short daily uploads. Keep them coming T90 ❤️

The Funny Thing is. Red Could have Used VILLAGERS to Kill the Spearmen and Destroy the Rams since the Very Beginning, Because Rams are Weak to All Melee Attacks (Villagers do 3 Damage and Rams have -3 Hack Armour) and The Spearmen had NO Upgrades, Unupgraded Villagers are one of the Few Military Units to lose Outright to Villagers, the Other being a Skirmisher (Who have Loom) :Edit. I meant Unupgraded SPEARMEN. not Villagers. lol.

Hey T90 long time viewer here. I love the content but to be honest these 15 min videos are not long enough to fall asleep to. Definitely need those 30-40 min+ games. I enjoy the vids but you are my go-to sleep aid and these shorter videos you’ve been putting out since getting your new team aren’t enough! Still love you and will keep watching, just putting it out there.

to lame is way older. It's of germanic origin ("lahmen") meaning moving slow due to injury or being crippled. It usually refers to an animal but not exclusively. Also can be used to describe the cause of said condition.

I'd definitely like to see a few more of their games.

Imagine pushing your enemy’s deer across the map and finding your tc has been destroyed by rams!

Low Elo Legends + Socotra Name a better duo

You cant just give me a 15 minute low elo game, i need more!

Where's the "didn't get a notification, just happened to refresh sub feed at the right time" gang?

Dude im 900 elo and my opponents are just doing almost perfect build orders i somehow keep losing cause i always get a hole in my walling , then they transition to camels or knights and im just dead

freaking love this series!

A full transition to man-at-arms as soon as the scout spotted the siege workshop could have negated the incoming push.

1:57 No, you pretty much nailed it. This is a technique that transcends genre. Lots of things are lame. Running away in a fighting game when you have the lead is lame. Stealing a boar is lame. It started as an insult but is now simply a strat.

Probably the best cuman feudal ram push i have ever seen 😂

It's concerning how normal sportsmanship is considered wholesome now :( Good strat!

Yes, more games from these guys would be nice.

7:32 This is what peak performance looks like.

The 2nd game was also dope! We gonna see it on YT too?

T90Official, can you organise with Lowko an AoE4 match between pro SC2 and AoE2 players?

Thank go someone streams some AOE II nowadays, T90 thanks for keeping it real, Respect

2:20 Lame just comes from the definition of lame, which is to cripple of physically disable someone. Hence, by stealing sheep, walling berries, etc.. you are crippling, or laming your opponent. It's not an AOE term, it's just a normal term

When I am staying in dorm in university, when people take other people’s food in the refrigerator ( which the refrigerator is shared for the whole floor), they also called it lame (or jam)? I don’t understand as well

Where is the link to join the community discord? I'm trying to find out how to get involved and then also how to donate

the word Lame means to cut off a limb or to injure (as a verb)

Yeah, Council House with spears and rams behind it is really strong in Feudal especially wi-oh wait.

Came here from Red Phosphoru ram rushing with Malians and siege towers. I needed some Cuman ram rushing action...

And I thought the last game was short... damn blue really stomped red here

So I’m 1000% low elo I haven’t done ranked at all but I recently got back into DE now that my laptop can run it perfectly, I can get to feudal usually around 8-10 minutes depending on my micro and I can usually scout rush by 10-14 I usually play Magyars since I like the free attack upgrades especially at feudal pop I have lethal scouts for the time. I always kinda die out as I don’t know what to go for I make sure once I hit castle to start throwing down extra TCs usually just do 3 I don’t know what exactly to do or what’s up lmao

this is my fav strat. always play it on arena

I am pretty sure it’s called lame because you are laming your opponent by taking their resources. But your explanation does also make sense.

Isn't there a consensus that a attacker is more favored to win than a defender? *Opinions Please*

Laming comes from Joseph Lame, who first did the move in starcraft by using some vills to disrupt enemy pathing

Maim: To injure, disable, or disfigure, usually by depriving of the use of a limb or other part of the body. Lame: adjective 1. (especially of an animal) unable to walk without difficulty as the result of an injury or illness affecting the leg or foot. 2 Lame: not cool, undesirable

Can someone explain that ELo-system shortly? Whats the best/worst, what is good, very good etc.. what would be one losing 50% of the games?

If you are lame irl like your leg is lame then you are weaker. So if you take something away from something making them weaker you are laming them. "That's lame" also comes from lame as in a lame leg. You may have heard of a horse being lame for example, a lame horse is a shit horse because a horse that can't walk is shit.

The classic fast castle into gg.

We want more low elo legends...

Brilliant strategy to house the enemy with the rams... Oops was Smart Strong and Funs :)'s only response

Both of them need a full investigation.

"What does one ram do here?" Against an enemy with 16 idles who's wrangling ostriches? XD

Lame, as a verb, means to make a person or animal unable to walk without difficulty as the result of an injury, as in “I lamed the deer with an arrow.”

What is this, AoE4 Abbasid?

please do more tri-house games

That lame confusion...just T90Dumb again

Bout to try this out learning from LEL😂

Lol at T90 not knowing what the word “lame” means, before it became slang

laming is probably called that because you lame the enemy by reducing his available food resources

Laming is a real term i thought i saw a cowboy movie they lamed the buffalo

Is there a way to share videos of our games? I just had a funny Low Elo game.

*BEST STUFF EVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER!!!*

Saying "cripples are lame" in 2021 sounds like a bad idea.

It’s called lame because the first response I’ll have when someone lames you is well, lame

strong cavalry (even light cavalry) would solve this issue. If the player properly scouted the base.

Lame is to make someone's life more difficult. But he original is like the horse lamed the child with a kick. The child will now have a more difficult time moving around typically due to a new disability.

Hey T90! I love this series, I've been trying to watch all of them but I gotta be honest, Im slowly losing my sanity with each video, I don't recommend anyone watching more than 3 per day

Eyy finally a Socotra game

Lame (verb) lamed; laming Definition of lame transitive verb 1 : to make lame : CRIPPLE 2 : to make weak or ineffective : DISABLE

In real life to lame someone cripple their legs so they can't walk. I always thought it just meant to cripple their start.

pls upload the rematch, it was so crazy

Socotra is my favorite map

Bro laming means to lame something meaning to cripple it. This is a formal word in English language. The colloquial word of lame is not what is meant here.

Have you heard "lame cow" or "lame sheep"

yea that's precisely why they call it 'laming'

Is that 1 hour Idle Eco time???

I really like this schort minutes Long Videos!!!

Lame as in if you have a lame leg it will slow you down come on T90 work with us not against us

So how many rams do you need for T90 to say choo choo?

Wait, I'm a new player and I played against the red player on about 850 ELO a few days ago...

Is game 2 get in RU-vid?

Thats not really me... but i try feudal rams alot!

How on earth you know to push ostrich, but not know how to manage rest of your eco to a bare minimum.

nice

Lame means like crippling someone

Anyone remember when the word 'rook' was used on msn zone?

I just played against red, Smart Strong and Fun :-) is such a wholesome person. I tried to lame some of their goats so they lamed my berries :P

If you wound an animal but don't kill it. It's known as laming.

does t90 think "to lame" / lame does not exist in the english language outside the phrase "thats so lame, dude"?

I just can not fathom how someone can be 500 elo.

i no ostrich

"Laming" is a simple use of an english word. There is nothing idiomatic about this. It doesn't arise from a unique usage of the word in AOE or gaming at all.

If you don't say "Smart, strong, and fun smiley face," every time, I'm going to unsubscribe. ;)

Call it laming because your are weakening/injuring the player... in the REAL world you call a weak or injured horse “lame”

Notification gang!

Lumber camps are overrated. Straggler trees exist for a reason

If you kick someone in the knee you can lame them giving you an advantage.... you are laming them by stealing the boar aka hindering them

Lame - cant walk - handicap - when you lame you are handicapping the opposition.

It should have been called boaring xD
