He Tricked Them All 

I like this ungarrisonable kings version for the amount of actual fortresses we get out of it. Less stacks of castles, more layers of walls.

I think Gray was a lot less clever than he though he was. He had a decent strat, getting everybody to do everything for him so that he saved his own stuff, but he completely neglected to actually... have stuff. Or defend himself. He was all "I'm teaching everyone a lesson in diplomacy!" meanwhile the only reason why nobody was calling him out, or bothering to pay enough attention to notice was because he was pretty much irrelevant anyways.

That "charge" had me in stitches. Great game. Ungarrisoned kings should be a community mod moving forward. I think it makes the game so much better.

I honestly feel like Jon is the only one that CrazyCarter actually fooled. Everyone else knew exactly what he was doing but didn't care because they were trading with him and he was the bottom score.

CrazyCarter: barely holding on in these fights Jon: who are you fighting? CrazyCarter: I'm surprised my king ain't dead CrazyCarter: too many at this point Says this with zero kills 11 This exchange had me rotfl

As a software dev myself, I'll put it this way: Imagine you have to add a commentary track over a game recorded back in 2002, but you can't remember what the meta was back then, or what the balance differences were back then, and you don't know what the players were thinking. So you start talking about what you think the players should do, but they don't do that, so you kind of look like an idiot. Then they start building huge numbers of battering rams so you say "oh, this must have been the meta at the time" but then it's completely ineffective so it couldn't have been the meta so you look stupid again. Then you try to predict who might be the winner of this clusterbomb, but then the guy you thought was winning resigns and you look like an idiot again.

Grey keep saying "a lesson in diplomacy, never trust anyone" I think he missed the more important lesson here in this game, "protect your damned king!" 🗿

you could do a weekly event called "king of the week" where its a regicide game and the first person to kill a king wins, I think it could be fun to see what people try to do to get that first kill

In greys position I thought about making two monks to convert the two orange villagers.

Grey really hurt me in this. I thought they played so well with the diplomacy and faking everyone out. After they got gated in, I was really expecting once the fighting got going that they would send in woodcutters to cut the king out, that way they wouldn't set off any flags to orange while they were distracted. Or as Yellow suggested, get some petards. Was super disappointing, because I think they could have had a really good fighting chance in the final 2.

This was an amazing diplo game, glad to see people still pulling off unique strats after all these years

Since T90 didn't mention it, let me clarify what Grey tried to do when he turned on purple: He tried to replicate an epic mic drop moment from an older game, I think most of us would remember the moment, but for those who don't, this is the game (Regicide Rumble 4) : Explosive hopper tried again | RR4 1:20:17

RollerCoaster Tycoon was made in assembly, with C inserts (WinAPI hooks for open file window functionality), not binary. Nobody programs in binary since 1950's.

Haha, gray was amazing in this, what a player - he perfectly recognized what seems to be the current community game meta (everyone into big alliances, no aggression for a while), but put himself into all the alliances on the whole map. Literally just larping an entirely different game in the chat, while doing nothing on the field. Great job, even though his lack of skill seemed to finally get him in the end. Doesnt even matter that most players probably just ignored him because he wasnt threatening: it still worked, and put him into top 3 without any problems.

Grey is the goofiest player I've ever seen

CrazyCarter's response "too many at this point". Hahaha!!! Classic

I had literally just thought "Grey is over here playing The Game of Thrones" when you said if he was anyone he would be Littlefinger. Love it. I was really hoping Grey would win. He was such a legend. He should have pretended to launch on yellow so orange wouldn't kill him instead of pretending to launch on orange. The fight was happening on orange so he could have told orange he was counter-attacking yellow, while telling yellow he was coming to defend him from orange's possible counter attack. Basically, buy himself time for orange to fall and free his King, then he is already in yellow's base to attack once orange falls.

I'm imagining every grey twohanded swordsman as rising drama actors doing stunts on the battlefield while everyone else is dying around them

"Grey, How many guys you fighting!?"😆

I was really hoping purple would manage to evacuate his king after yellow and orange turned on each other

41:13 - "Grey is like the guy who texts 'i love you babe' to ten girls at once" lol perfect

I am sure orange used villagers because they don't seem like a threat until they build a dungeon for your own king in your own kingdom.

''I'm playing both sides so i always come out on top'' Grey Mac

It's too bad how often people in these Community Games forget they have a nucleair bomb at their disposal, especially on a map like this where everyone is cramped up on an island...

i wish i still had friends to play this with. i miss the simple days.

When I saw "Seasons" and "Kings Cannnot Garrison" I died laughing because I thought you were calling the bug a seasonal feature. Next season we'll get walk-through walls again!

THE LEGEND OF CLUELESS

I was so hoping for grey to come out late with three commando teams to sneak up to the three kings while everyone was fighting each other and simultaneously kill 3 kings for the win.

Grey was insane. I really wanted him to come out with the win, and 0 kills.

LOL I feel like most people knew exactly what grey was up to but is so weak, they didn't care.

Someone in chat said it well. What gray was doing would have been so much cooler if he weren't trying to talk about it. He's probably imagining himself saying that as he slides the dagger into a trusted ally's belly, seeing the shock on their face as they struggle with disbelief with their last breaths. But talking about it just made him sound like an edgy 12-year-old.

Grey showing off that Bach. Of Diplomacy from Dunning-Kruger College

This was the first time I've legit LOL'ed at an AOE2 game. Very fun. Thank you.

Crazy Carter was being a slippery lying SOAB the whole time

Would have been super interesting to see grey try to get out of his hostage situation. That or truly allying with orange were his two outs and he didn't do either of them.

this video is mistitled. This is definitely deserving of legend status. The Legend of CrazyCarter. Born of BlueCoffee. Edit: nevermind. Not saving his king after 10 minutes of being trapped though he couldve just sent some ranged units means he cant have that title yet, but his diplo was nuts.

6:33 is an iconic mouse impression. "Woo wee hey guys! Have you put on your think-ing caps?! ha-ha" x'D

CrazyCarter is a high ELO LEGEND. And we need more streams of him!

Man, gray making orange and yellow super paranoid near the end game was great. And purple missed a golden opportunity to explode his king onto yellow or gray near the end.

Trade spikes: Read my past comments or read this one: MARKET USE counts. Hit that market button 4-5 times in 2 seconds and you've pushed your APM for that moment up into the 80-100 range. EDIT -- APM spikes even

When yellow asked grey who he's fighting, grey should have said "These ridiculous savings you'll get with my finest trade depots."

"He died as he lived " 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I was fully expecting gray to tell orange and yellow that he'd help defend their gates with putting a few units there, then quickly assassinating both kings while they were distracted with the battle.

crazy carter is legit the neutral planet from futurama

A fitting end to connor, losing his king in the most humiliating way possible, truly one of the villain arcs...

imagine playing monopoly with grey, he could sell you your own railways

gray is the personification of "chaos is a ladder"

Grey had me belly laughing

meh I doubt people really believed gray - and it was just a case "can't be bothered to send military, he's not going to fight me anyways either".

Grey is a fuggin legend, what an absolute MAD lad

Killing someone’s king with villagers is just straight up disrespectful…. LMAO 😂 😂 😂

"chaaaaaarge!" 😂😂😂😂

I like how this is a game of war but still they're still friends..

T90 savage with dis @ 39:24 hahahahhaha

don't worry T90. At the competitive level of every game every update is a time of existential dread.

Gray is my spirit animal.

Is it just me or does anyone else feel like Crazycarter is just a 10 year old playing with a bunch of adults lol

Gray is such a genius. He lied like a politician. Make people thought that he's helping but actually doing nothing. If he rescued his king and then go all out, he could have won like an underdog.

Does the monks conversion count as attacks? Does it ping on the minimap? Because if it doesn't, grey could have converted the villagers while orange was attacking elsewhere...

Grey must think he is pretty smart meanwhile he was the kid in the corner eating glue that everyone ignored.

Left this match playing on the background while focusing on other stuff, so i'm lacking most of the context. Reaching now the 1 hour mark, it hurts to see that 3v1 against purple, had no idea how it even reached this situation. If it was me in his place, would sneak some villagers to build a dock on his island's east, make a transport ship, and nuke my king into yellow's shore. It most likely wouldn't cause his loss, but would cause enough damage on his structure, taking some towers and maybe castles, purely out of spite (:

Honestly, grey was entertaining, but also so frustrating. I'm a very honest and transparent person, so his double dealing was giving me anxiety and just thoroughly angering me. 😂

7:12 - Rollercoaster Tycoon being written in Assembly actually makes it super fucking portable. It will run on a potato with couple wires stuck in it. It will run on your microwave.

Grey was like Littlefinger if he had taken over the Iron Bank instead of trying for the Iron Throne

A king garrisoning compromise could be that if a king is in a castle his position is visible to everyone, so it's a tradeoff of defense vs. stealth.

This was greatest gaming video I ever saw in my life

lmao Carter with the underdog diplo strats

Crazycarter is actually my hero

lmao grey was a legend but he went out with such a wimper.. great game

Ngl after grey died, i had literally no idea what was going on in the game because they were the only player i played attention to...

Grey played like we all imagine wed play. This cunning sneak making everyone think that hes on their side until the end.

I really hoped purple would think of sending his king to the far right of his island. I wonder if he would have taken yellow down with him that way 😂

this is too good lmfaoo well played carter.

everyone a diplomat until they get punched in the mouth

Crazycarter, what a god damn legend.

Gray could just have sent his monk up to heal his king, or even made a couple more monks in his monestary. Had he done so, he would have stood a good chance of surviving orange's "betrayal".

i got a bad idea, the king now explodes inmediately

CrazyCarter defeat was so satisfying. He was held hostage to force him to do something he didn't want to do yet.

I really need more CrazyCarter chat games.

dang i wanted grey to get into the final fight and the other person accidently del their king

Hey @T90 I'm a big fan of a secondary voiceless commentator pointing out key points☝ ☝ Big fan. Now we never miss anything.

Teal getting rekt by red and blue passing through their ally gray territory. Gray to teal: "blue is killing me, man"

Orange trapping Grey's king and forcing him was amazing

It would be cool to get a rundown from the Capture Age people on what CA considers an effective action. For example, I'd like to know if queueing up 5 at a time would be counted as 1 action or 5. This might help with the whole credibility issue.

Classic lines uttered before a betrayal: "The Lannisters send their regards" -Game of Thrones, "Long Live the King" - Lion King, all garbage before "Never trust anyone" -AoE2 dude

grey is the absolute definition of a fake friend lmao

... Grey pulled a Jewry.

He should've sent his king to some other player's base (Let's say yellow). So if yellow turns, then yellow base gets destroyed.

As an engineer, I think the best way to think about code bases (and specifically spaghetti code bases) is to compare it to the law. As I live in the US and IANAL, these are just my impressions, but: - Code is similar to the law in that terms and definitions need to be highly precise/exact; if that exactness is incorrect in some way, all sorts of things can go wrong. What comes to mind is rich people using tax breaks which were meant for farmers to pay for their expensive equipment to buy giant SUVs. Things being just slightly wrong can cause all kinds of problems. - Additionally, laws are built in the context of other laws, and are typically additive. So, comparing that to code, usually when we code we have to always consider how our changes will impact existing systems (so, saved games? recorded games? network play systems?) - Laws are written with practical constraints in mind. And things are written into them to "work around" the practical problems. This is extremely true in code as well, where computation devices may have limited memory, processor speed, etc. Overall, there are a ton of parallels. I've been wanting to write this up some more, but I think this generally communicates the idea.

Chivalry Medieval Warfare is my favorite game ever.

Well done by Orange. Grey's trickery turned against himself!!! 🙂

With exploding kings, why does no one just place their king in their allies base, sort of like a gun to the head. "Keep my kind safe or else..."

Gray was playing so well but its very disappointing he never tried to get out

I think the gray game was most interesting. He was a merchant that scammed everyone and then some angry victims, the villagers, came by to share their minds to the manager. He didn't kill anyone and died to villagers.

A LESSON IN DIPLOMACY NEVER TRUST ANYONE!!11

Lmao gray is over here with Speech Level 100, and Level 0 Combat 🤣🤣🤣🤣

What is with that one player ending up in a business meeting during gameplay lol

Crazycarter is the Lord Baelish of Age of Empires he was brilliant. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

it should be a policy that the winner always gets a guarantee to participate in the next game if they want to. Thatd up the competition lol

this kind of fight is the most fun and chaotic cause anything can happen and it'll just be a massive all out war
