The Legend of Wall Continues! 

I really wish that when yellow asked "What mental problem do you have" that Wall would respond "I have trouble letting people in"

6:00 ‘Walls not so talkative.’ Guess you could say it’s like… talking to a wall

This man has perfected the art of the one thing I've always wanted to do in an online RTS. The most perfect turtle

I want everyone to know that Wall is actually channeling Julius Ceasar in every game he plays. Total circumnavigation of the enemy, strategic expansion of siegeworks, and the absolute intensity of final assault.

I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 strats once, but I fear the man who has practiced one strat 10,000 times.

I think the true beauty to Walls strat is that he defines the initial layers of walls and his opponent thinks hes fully committed there. They have no idea the true horror hes built on the other side until they break through the first section. Theyre thinking "finally through the wall" only to see an absolute labyrinth of stone walls and bombard towers. Insane.

I just imagine Wall sitting down like "Okay I got 3 hours until the wife gets home, maybe I can get a quick game in?".

This reminds me of how many medieval castles use their walls to create individual segments, forcing the attacker to run from one killing field into the next. The main difference of course being that this is usually done for _defense_ , not _offense_

What a legendary game. I know WALL personally, and yes, he does build satellites, he's also a pilot.

We need a FFA with iSit Wall Corner boy and Fatslob

"As the Organ Guns slowly Bach away" Smoothest most underrated and undetected joke you've ever made.

Yellow wakes up at night from a nightmare where he spawns into a fortress game, only that the starting wall belongs to blue.

European castles are made to be labyrinths, so creating sections is just so fitting and historically accurate for Portuguese culture that wall isnt playing for walls, he is roleplaying the Portuguese in medieval defense tactics.

I actually believe WALL really builds satellites. The levels of redundancy and engineering in his play style is indicative of someone working in that field.

I cannot believe I watched all hour and 12 minutes of Wall doing it to a random person. I need more of Wall doing this. I do agree that his strategy evolved like you said. Placing his stuff in different corners is very clever!

I would watch a LOT more of these, I hope you cast more of them

I made it. I can only imagine the "Oh COME ON" reaction going through yellow's mind when he broke through all those trees just to find those walls on the other side.

The walls will continue until morale improves.

I made it without skipping ahead. Played my 1st AOE in 1998 on 56k dial up connection LOL. 1st time watching your channel, fantastic analysis, informative and exciting commentary. Well done man, will be back for sure!!! Thank you for doing this!!!

FYI I made it (41:00) but yeah insane game, I've just been watching the whole Legend of Wall series from the beginning and the progression is fairly obvious, it's also fun to see how you went from "this can only work on low elo" to "this can actually get fairly hard to punish fairly quickly" over time :-)

Late but just wanted to remark about one particularly elegant move Wall did: It was impressive to see how Wall responded to yellow's big trebuchet push. He tried meeting it head on with bombards at close range, just rebuilding the wall under attack to buy time, deploying his own trebs and sneakily advancing the defenses, all of which *kind* of worked, but all of which cost him and none of which solidly solved the problem. Which is where the switch into halbs, while a violation of his previous strategy, was really just perfect. In the short term, it countered yellow's existing hussar army, but the halbs also blocked even yellow's new halb spam from getting through any gaps in the wall created by yellow's trebs, and offered a meat shield for Wall's bombards, which were soon joined by organ guns that perfectly countered yellow's switch to halbs. And then the shift from bombards to organ guns was so clean-the former were too vulnerable in this sort of open melee but the organ guns could both hold their own in that *and* hide behind walls and mow the enemy down in the role formerly filled by bombards. And then Wall proved able to advance them as a deathball effectively despite his former preference for purely defensive play. Definitely some pretty solid micro on display, but more importantly such clean tactics in this episode.

"Evil does not sleep. It walls" - Walladriel, 2022 SA

Made it all the way through. How fun to watch. TY

I made it this far and this is SO entertaining! I come back from work and Wana see some good match up and I see legend of the Walls and oh my god did this deliver T90 been watching your streams for years thank you so much man you bring joy to us and Wall man what a legend

Wall’s first eco upgrade is stone mining upgrade 😂

The game looked like WWI at some point - dozens of soldiers blindly running into fortified guns and artillery...

Mom! I made it and i feel inspired! what an actual legend haha the banter was a thing of beauty and if he does build satellites no doubt he looks down on monumental historic walls for inspiration! keep these Wall vids coming :)

reminds me of old lan paries. we were all not good at this game but we figured we always go with the map where the home areas are seperated by rivers, ban ships and make 30 minutes peacetime. Looked exactly like this. All the fords fortified like crazy and then came the petard rush strats :D amaing.

This is exactly how Julius Caesar used to fight. He would literally build miles of walls to shape the battlefield. Wall is probably a history buff

"The Wall just got 10 feet wider!" - Wall

i had to subscribe, this is my second video watching of you, and this was just amazing to see. Also i rlly like your commentating

Fricking awesome man! GGs

If yelllow was salty in the game, just imagine how he will be once he finds out it was casted by T90 11

I'm sure yellow's perspective about walls has changed forever from an AoE II game, imagine him going to his therapist and having to explaining his frustration with walls.

Oh man IT DOES look like a kids scenario editor shenanigans by the end. love it

I'm kinda amazed he didn't just quit at the 3rd wall, my assumption would have been "This guy has been building 100 layers hasn't he."

I made it. His legend never ends.

Wall is legitimately really good. Of all the legends that do unique things, I look at Wall as one of if not the most legitimately talented. I keep thinking that if he makes small improvements in certain areas, he can go from low elo to mid (which he already has) and maybe become a unique high elo player. Killing the scout with creative walling is so unexpected and it opens up all this other creativity. I love to see Wall have success while still running into some things that he could improve on a little.

Watched all the way through and I don't play RTS games or understand the details here but man this was entertaining :D

The bombard visual "bug" is caused by the Portuguese unique tech. Since Arquebus gives bombard cannons ballistics, if they fire at a fast-moving unit like a hussar, their shot will go wildly off target since it's aiming for where the hussar would be. When they target a bunch of hussars all grouping up they fire in weird directions and angles that aren't actually valid as a result.

Mom, I made it!! Honestly, no reason to skip a single second of this whole video. What a masterpiece. WALL is easily my favourite AoE2 player of all time. Have a good lif, you’ve earnt it!

Its crazy how it basically all comes down to yellow not being able to scout properly

"I made it" :) fascinating how many curious strategies people come up with

wall made a wonderful medieval gatehouse using those 2 castles

No skipping ahead, this is a masterpiece.

Wall is like a python: just sinks his teeth in with the first layer of walls, coils around your position, and then slowly squeezes the life out of you.

41:00 made it to this point and chuckling at WALL's great strategy

One year later, this is still amazing

This is like watching WWI happen in real time. Slowly devolving into siege and trench warfare. Beautiful

Words cannot accurately describe how incredibly funny this is

Wall reminds me of a player on voobly named queen killer... Very Similar strat loved using scorpions and hussars was good with them also played celts

Made it easily. The original legend of wall video was how I became a huge fan of your casting. Also, if I were Wall I would consider the verbal abuse a sign that I am going to win. And I love how in the beginning chat was saying how walling the tree line in his base was a waste of resources. In the end though that was the most important wall.

Its rare I watch these all the way through without skipping ahead but these Wall videos are just so damn engaging. Hope he does some more!

another brick in ..the wall! great video!

32:20 this is like chocking someone with those #1 foam gloves fans bring to sports events... it migggggggggggghttt take a while!

Mom, I made it. This one had me dying laughing at a couple of points - I'm just up vibing in the extremely early morning hours, trying to be productive, but this one ended up being exceptionally entertaining. My favorite part was when yellow finally lost his sh*t, please never edit that stuff out. Thanks for sharing, man.

Hats off to WALL, this was definitely a huge step up from 2 years ago and so much fun to watch!

Hey, I made it till the end no skipping. I really liked that video, especially since it didn't have music i could choose mine. Keep it up !

I made it. "Mom, I made it!" lmao

This is the most accurate depiction of a siege I have ever seen in AoE

Was sick for two unpleasant weeks, getting better and this is like a "welcome back to life" present that made me genuinely happy. Thank you.

Wall was amazing. i love his playstyle =)

Even on paper it's a very effective strategy and could work on maps like this at most levels of play. Go Portuguese and wall in your opponent -> grab relics and hide feitorias in the corners or generally space them out so they are hard to completely eliminate -> use arquebus BBC to prevent your opponent from expanding past your walls -> once opponent is completely starved of gold and morale, tech into champion and flood into their base, shredding trash units and buildings alike, or if you have a nice choke point to work with, organ guns too. Every minute that you stall with the BBC is another minute you're banking way more gold and stone than your opponent, just gotta be patient enough to pull it off.

Yellow's sole advantage was that he could move between theatres much more quickly than Wall. I think feinting would have given him the capacity to bust through somewhere at some point, especially when all of Wall's bombards were on the south wall. Also, I made it.

I faced up against WALL a few days ago on Black Forest, Aztecs (me) vs Portuguese. My advice for anyone facing up against this strat... redemption monks in Castle Age with a few rams to start pushing the walls, then as quick as possible to Imp, followed by onager cut to raid (e.g. eagles, cav).

3:58 The confidence of Hoang to use the Hoang strategy everytime:)

Satellites make sense I worked on ISS, and other space vehicles including SLS and this definitely sums up the fact that people in aerospace self create 95% of their own entertainment. You should see the meme groups in some these aerospace companies. My last one had a mascot that was a cockroach that someone found in a stairwell on an airforce bace. We named him Henry the Stair Sentinel We spent 6 months photoshopping him an office. A badge. Family photos. Pro nuke/Anti-raid posters etc. Shit was hilarious. All while meeting project deadlines. (Im an engineer)

Erich Ludendorff would be proud by the amount of defence in depth that WALL uses

i don't watch AOE content often but damn i loved every minute of this video. Thanks wall for that amasing gameplay

minute 10 - blue knows exactly whats going on. Not a bad idea at all to wall everything. Happens so many times that the enemy rushed me over through the cutted forest.

Reminds me of the double Roman siege where Caesar himself in his early days had to build walls in his rear resulting in what gamers would call 'a pro gamer move '

Made it. What really won this for wall and made the stray work was how tilted he got yellow as the game dragged on.. Yellow had so many times to break through and kept trying different strategies to do so but as he got progressively angrier his skill a began to decline until it got to the point blue realized he could actually push in and finish it. Brilliant man

We definitely need to watch more of WALL

I really want to see a short interview with Wall to see if he really builds satellites... Also "Mom, I made it"

I definitely made it, was fascinating !

LOVED this one. I watch them all on youtube. I'd like you to interview him where he explains the order of things that he learned over the months and years to refine his technique to this pretty high level. Way more interesting than interviewing The Viper, because I'll never have Viper's innate skills so his "insights" aren't something I can take advantage of. But if I knew what WALL did and why, I feel like I could mimic that just fine. And yeah- one win every three hours is a bit of a price to pay, but it's better than the nine losses and one win I get when I play for an entire afternoon on my own.

The genuine anger in this video makes it even funnier

I woulda quit when the army of petards walked up to the wall and just stood there dying to bombard cannons.

Opponent does anything. Wall: "But what if.... more wall?"

Its crazy how yellow kept trying to break the walls while being at zero gold himself.. even if he had managed to break through and take out some of the corners, all he would be hoping for is for blue to now use his pop space and gold pile to completely run him over

Here's a wacky strategy: attack the walls with trash units and let the other player destroy his own walls with his cannons.

Damn a Legend and still he stay qute quiet and humble while he could be under the lights !

57:00 People get upset because they’ve committed this time to play to win. Now that that time is for a losing cause and they feel it’s not traditional play. They’ll say what they want to justify why they are mad. But like you said t90 just because he plays differently doesn’t mean he’s not a good player. Btw gg and ty for this game. I love games like this. It’s such a simple tactic and no one ever implements it.

We need more ppl like Wall in gaming in general. Just folks that play for fun instead of one meta slave after another.

I made it, and I loved every second of it. WALL is a legend, a man of focus and sheer will. I aspire to be like wall...

the weird volleys happen when he targets a scout to attack with the bombard, the volley kills the scout and the cannons get the next volley with free aim, they just shoot randomly at stuff they see. then klicks the next horse and they fire concentrated again

That's actually a legitimate strategy Walling opponent in = better map control + more resources, and with the civilization's unique building he has unlimited supply of gold and stone

I literally just watched the last 2 WALL vids, what a legend.

Man seeing how much they have upped their game over the course of the 2 videos is so satisfying. This looks maddening to play against if you don't see it coming and they get you in imp :D

Good video and good luck with lif.

Back in the day my buddy and I were playing aoe 2 online and we were like grade 7 and we ended up against 2 other really good players so we walled ourselves in a Forrest so hard core and making them resign cause they couldn’t kill us. It was the height of my childhood rts gaming

Mom I made it lol

My brother and I used to play this way all the time. It's great.

ive made it and i enjoy it soooo hard ! thanks for that masterpiece of gameplay ! :D

I recently won a BF vs WALL. He walled me to 20% of the map from the very beginning and built like 25k stone worth fortified walls. Only after the game was over I took the time to check his name out. Never heard of him before

I always watch these all the way through without skipping. I ALWAYS make it. :)

And out of nothing, you're back watching TRI-Stan videos with Forest Nothing and WALL again.

I made it into 41:00 I really never enjoyed aoe much but this video is really indeed interesting, I really appreciate your content!

These crazy siege battles are so much fun to watch. Edit: Everything Wall does in his openings seems very well thought out. I bet Wall is a big fan of trench warfare.

Great content and great players : - Blue, with is rather unique strategy, perfectly executed until the end, - Yellow, who explored every strategy possible and didn't want to resign. At one point he was so close to passing through with his army of Huskarls but surprisingly temporized and gave an opportunity to blue to rebuild his defenses.
