TheViper's Greatest Masterpiece 

It was a great game!

You played it well and it was honestly looking great for you until the last 30 seconds 11

Vipy would have gotten everyone else! Well played both of you!

To remind u to stay umble

Would have been really shocking if Ciskhan didn't notice at all until after the petards detonated. 😅

He did the game is bugged

You can see from Viper's POV that the ballista elephant is on "aggressive" attack stance​@@jackwaite4035

@@jackwaite4035 It was clearly on attacking stance. See 17:07

No this is better we needed a more dramatic ending. The number of petards was calculated perfectly. The Viper's venom is fear and tusks.

HAHAHAHAHA!!!!! Underrated...

Viper is just being umble

When you are live streaming with thousand of viewers, it's always better to assume you screwed up and the pressure of failing always make you assume you miscalculate something. Pretty sure if you ask Viper in a quizz the number of petards to kill a TC he will tell you 5 or 6 with confidence

What a sneaky snake.

No holy ELEPHANT 😂

Lol i was watching the Dave cast of this as well and he called exactly what was going to happen from the start #clownbrain

@@daveh6800 i could sense it the first second when i saw the civ and the map

@@daveh6800 maybe also because he knows Viper is a troll, and Viper told him privately before the match that he had a "sick specific civ/map strat prepared"

well the settings + map + civ should scream "balista cut" to any player or not?

​@@xXxIsmirWurstxXxi think you'll find your answer in this video. You think it's obvious because you now know the answer. It's not obvious without the answer.

Agreed!

MASTAPIZZA*

MUSTARDPIES!

"Ah, I love AoE..."

scary

I didn't even recognize it was him. It's really too bad today he sounds like Ben Shapiro.

I thought he was trash talking someone else when he said "pretty crappy casting" and I was so surprised because T90 is always umble! Glad to find out he has indeed stayed umble.

Is it even possible? Is he taking growth hormones? XD

How?

Isn't moron also an insult?

I think in context, he meant "bastard" in a gentle but frustrated attitude. More precisely "what a gigantic bastard!"

In Australian "dog" is a friendly taunt. Like "Get out of my base ya dog". Can be used aggressively as well but there's no racial connotation at all

Why would dog be offensive? Dogs are very nice, I'd be much more offended at being called a moron

Nothing was mean in the way I spoke, I meant that Viper's play was strong 11

There are a few reasons I can think of. 1) Houses would take a while to destroy with archers, even with Saracen bonus. That’s time the archers aren’t spending on other things, and the damage to Viper would be very small. 2) Ciskhan doesn’t see the whole map like we do. He doesn’t know what Viper is doing, so he doesn’t know if there are enemy units sneaking toward his own base. 3) He doesn’t want his archers to get trapped inside Viper’s walls. 4) Retreating keeps Viper guessing about Ciskhan’s unit count and position. He might approach from the other direction, or set an ambush for Viper if he decides to counterattack. 5) Every archer that dies doing low-value things in Viper’s base is an archer that won’t be available later for either attack or defense. 6) An archer costs more than a house. If burning down two houses costs one archer, that’s a bad trade. It’s not worth the risk.

Thank you for the detailed response. To be honest I hadnt really thought about any of those, apart from point 1 a bit. Point 2 and 4 particularly make sense. As someone who hasn't played for... probably a couple of decades now apart from one try a year or so ago that was pretty pathetic :D it's easy to forget you can't see what your opponants doing when all I do is watch these stream videos. Makes sense when you explain it like that though. Cheers.@@brianensign7638

@@brianensign7638 You made six points but the main one is that Viper is in Castle age a lot earlier and Ciskhan doesn't want to risk losing his army to a castle age push. He wants the safety of his base and a bigger ball of archers.
