The Fastest Castle Age EVER on Arabia?! 

The greedy castle was sick but it just goes to show off dauts decision making skill. He countered perfectly.

That was a really clean up from Nicov but Daut has been in rare form of late. I mean, a year ago that castle would have been the very definition of a DautCastle, but he somehow was right where he needed with right what he needed. Great to see.

Summoning Salt: in late 2022 a player by the name of Nicov posted a fast castle time on Arabia of 13:10. No one knew it at the time but this would lead to a pursuit that would dominate the speed running community for 10 years.

Honestly Daut just played this perfectly. Especially when it comes to the scouting. Really adapted to the opponent decisions and punished them. He pushed out at exactly the right time and got all the information he need to place a perfect castle. Nicov lack of scouting hurt him this game, he was just playing according to his plan he wasn't adapting to what Daut was doing..

Fc boom into gg is my strat, I didnt know nicov knew that build too!

13:41 chat overlay goes crazy

Ever since you mentioned Veggie Tales on your stream, I now only hear Bob the Tomato when you speak and I can’t unhear it.

One of the fastest castle times ever just to get bodied.

Perfect counter by daut, definitely a bit of an overboom/ greed by blue. Follow that massive villager lead up with not enough military production buildings and you got yourself a gg.

Amazing play, daut is something else.

I absolutely love Titans League. This was such a great addition to the community.

4K video? When did that happen? Very nice, I noticed the bump in quality immediately and was initially confused. XD

*T90!!!*

Perfect castle

3:19 Does anyone know how this setup works? Just curious on if this is a personal setup with a soundboard and a separate audio track or if it's an actual product that is made for placing markers?

Another StanDauT castle

15:07 Am I the only one who thinks Nicov souldnt have fought this with his army? He has 6 monks behind he couldve used for converting vills building the castle THEN snipe the rest with the army, he could still lose the army but deny the castle.

Nikov should drop castle 🏰 immediately then spawn knights to protect his offensive position

An actual Daut Castle

What a game

I just got a 12:48 FC lancer rush with mongols on arabia

2:47 BLASPHEMY.

did you guys notice Nicov's score when he clicked up to Castle age? 👀

12 min knights is amazing! 16 pop up

I love your vids and you inspired me to try playing too but I want to know what is the best siv to main as a starter in AOE2

20+2 no loom into 3tc boom is possible.. with Saracens

The FC was great but he was adding TCs from which he couldn't support vil production. Maybe since your opponent knows you're all eco at that point, invest into some knights until you have the food eco for 1 stable 2 TC?

480p , YT y u do this

you guys still talking about that insta convert on the knight lol??

12:00 i did not se anything faster than this guy yet, but As one who really enjoys saracen, i've practiced FC and been able to pull it off in 13:40 WITH SARACEN "more or less" in ranked games. But saracen FC feels better than khmer because you literally buy your way through whatever it is you crucially need once you hit castle age. Some games i hit FC at such a fast time and throw down 2 extra tcs. Zero food for vills, bur guess what? We buy the food, and build farms until eco stability is achived"and a 4th+ 5th TC 2-3 mins after and then buy a defensive castle even. Khmer, on the other hand, i don't enjoy FC with them.

What's the fastest theoretical time for Fast Castle? With perfect Vic etc

Are you paying hardy enough? Or is he just a slacker? Was expecting the clip man

I'm positive this isn't the fastest...hell, back in the day, The_Sherriff's SMUSH video had him castling in the low 13min and that was 20 years ago. Yeah, a simple google yields low 12s.

Nicov's choice to go for knights was unfortunate. Once Daut started spamming camels, it was over

Anyone feel like Nicov would have been better off not forcing the engagement and trying to use monks to force vills off the castle? It’s very hard to get it built if u spam click conversions because the vills run away when the conversion starts. He could have baited the fight under the TC potentially if the monks held off the castle while sitting under it. Not saying it changes things necessarily but I was screaming for him to do that with one monk lol

converting the vills instead of army would've won Nicov the game

Watched a vid from a couple of months ago, onto this, why has youir mic setup worsened? Too airy and quiet I think?

yeah with lithunians in arena u can do 12min castle age time.

Please tell me it’s going to be Daut who has the insane Castle Age time. Please god please Also T90, LOVING the 4k/60. Nvm just saw civs. 11

Great game. That's how AOE used to look like 2019. Before devs butchered the meta into a pseudo aggressive Skirm wars.

Why is watching pros just. so. boring? I live for LEL/community games.
