This Might Actually Be THE BEST FFA Map In History 

Orange just wanted to build a country for his subjects, his wife and his children

Since the Devs are listening it would be really great if you could please maybe sometime when you get to it if you want but no pressure to give everything Drongo wants for Caster mode.

Loue must have felt so dumb once he realized his mistake. That was a real “I’m turning off my computer for a while and I’m just going to crawl into bed and think about what I’ve done” moment.

I love how Orange just didn't even attempt to attack the wonder lol

I was watching the stream that day, chat in the stream were yelling like crazy but LoueMT was pretending he didnt see the wonder and didnt move until 5min left. He prob thought he could take it with Blitz, but he failed. Divine's Eng defense was impressive.

This map is great for FFA but not ideal for nomad, for standard it's great. For FFA nomad the best are megarandom and dry arabia

This map would be amazing if the mountains had an opening that if you cleared enough wood in the back you can run through

Holy shit that ending was both exciting and hurtful to watch!

38:29 one can say that is was indeed a "DIVINE" intervention. alright I'll see myself out.

Was so hopeful Drongo will say ˝Why damn developers don´t put a warning across the half of the screen ´Destroy Enemy Wonder´ so players are aware of what they have to do!!!?˝

It's still unreal for me to believe that Loue didn't see the wonder. I feel he might be negotiating something with orange. Hope that devs can make it possible to see the global chat when spectating. Negotiating is kinda of an essential part of FFA and too bad we cant see them.

Ur greatest hype caster ever

with all due respect.. the devs did an AMAZING JOB for ffa normal and the nomad mod.. BUT they DID HORRIBLE JOB at the ffa nomad maps. they are all spawn reliable based on the normal maps which is horrible for nomad cuz many spots dont have resources except the mega random which is AMAZING

I like when 2 players have to share a quadrant. Gives me an idea for a similar map but with only 4 quadrants, each starts with 2 people. Almost like a natural tournament where the winner of each quadrant goes on to fight in the finals.

Luis might have been distracted and reacted late to the wonder but I think the bigger “mistake” is that he shouldn’t have let Divine play defensively. The other players are an incognita so it might be one of the reasons he went for them first but late game Divine is a really painful defender to try and breach. That Outback Octagon match where he was on the left playing the chinese, he was impossible to oust. The huge amount of stalling time there, where players didn’t know what to do was hilarious.

Hey Drongo, we really need the Mega Random only option for Nomad, premade maps really are too spawn dependent (and boring). There is another issue, with the Monarch mechanics. In most games (all I've played) there is at least one player leaving right away (for example when they a bad spawn or simply disliked the map). That leaves +50 pop King in a random place on the map giving the person lucky enough to find him an unfair advantage they did not earn. Could be solved by despawning/ autokilling the king of a player that surrenders before 5th min of the game (or whatever is the earliest ppl can have units on the map). Let the devs know! :)

I agree with people who says that FFA should be only RANDOM maps, it's chaos man

I've played several FFAs so far and mega random (land and water) are the most fun matches to me.

The only thing i would say about this map and about this match. There are two sections of the map with no spawns. 4 players 2 and 2 are fighting in the same section while the other players are free to build! If this map stays in FFA everyone should spawn separate and battle having to come to the middle. Open maps i don't care how they spawn this map everyone spawn in the own section and battle for the middle. This map has the ability to see 8 players fighting all at once for the middle and will take extra strategy to sink in and take someone out while it can happen to you at the same time.

Once again I love watching your game play!! Just as good as your casting if not better!!!

wonderful match ❤ Drongo casting makes it sublime read developers read 😂

GG! What an ending XD What do I want in the game? A plat+ civ picker in ranked, and ranked map rotation to happen once a month

Class game and great commentary as per.

Helms Deep 😂

This by far the best game i have witnessed

Hey Drongo, thanks for this! btw, When are the Devs adding Persians and Vikings to the game?

I was actually on the edge of my seat for the end there 😂 what a game

Hello, I wanted to know if there is map seeds that are available for the videos you play or review somewhere? I just want to create a list of nice maps to play when I get the game

I like the idea of there maybe being a special queue for superrandom nomad, maybe with random civs too.

i have never seen before somebody using the abbasid tech that allows imans to convert without relic.

O man... Loue what have you done😂😂

this was awesome

I would like to see sometime the Delhi player using his +50 pop for priest. Would like to see how it would effect the research and healing in battle.

Since the Devs are listening it would be really great if you could please maybe sometime soo when you get to it if you want but no pressure to give everything Drongo wants for Caster mode.

If not for Divine intervention 1092439092 would have perished

Can we talk about how impressive 44:35 was

Playing FFA from the map pool doesn't feel as fun as MegaRandom on the largest map size. It's not the same feeling at all, there needs to be a Nomad MegaRandom only que, that's all you would ever see on custom games consistently. Give the community what it wants, we are so close!

Free For All is just nonstop all fun chaos

I had no idea spam was big in the Phillipeans, thanks for that fact

THIS WAS EPIC!!!!!!!

Drongo, could we please have a tutorial step by step on how to play this mode, it’s seem that anything I do I always do it wrong cause I get attacked at min 8 by full armies.

Game needs a big gong sound and and warning banner when a enemy builds a wonder.

I am always here to just listen to the best commentary in the history of AOE….@Aussie_Drongo. It’s not the game. It’s him really that makes the game….GAME.

The Nomad FFA should be EVER on Megarandom not on preset Maps. that would be much more interesting.

yeeees, more, moooore, MOOOER

Can you wololol someone's king when they surrender? Kinda trolly

Drongo ben watching you from the start, love your stuff. I got a 5 kill NOMAD FFA game you might like to cast. Diamond tier. Ingame name "Bosley"-- 3/21 "Golden Pit" match. Take over the whole mid lol

We need post-game interviews with the players

great game, great twist

Thank you for reading the full number name correctly 😂

I would prefer nomad to be mega random. On predefined maps the resource allocations can be rather unequal depending on your spawn. On mega random you usually have Ressources all over the map which makes the game more fair in my opinion

MORE !!!!

Honestly if the megarandom/all maps FFA is less extreme then a 75% majority, giving people a checkbox for chaos only (Megarandom) ques and splitting the que might allow for greater player engagement. If both sides have their fun, and the minority is big enough, letting the minority get what they want at the cost of accepting a mildly longer que times is totally fine. Like, we don't need to make that conversation a battle if it would be a small enough issue to let both exist.

Yeah no, the reg map pool should not be a thing for Nomad, the maps are fine for standard mode, but a disaster for nomad.

I want to see more of tgat

7:34 it would be a good idea to only have mega random

I think this is a great mapping your forced to fight in the middle and come after someone it forces people to play in different styles

What a game!

orange forgot he was playing mp

It would be great if this FFA/nomad mode existed against AI as well

Why is red building stone walls before reaching castle? Isn't that something that's not allowed (at least mutually agreed upon in the community) 10:15

Moooore FFA ❤ This is my first comment ever after watching probably 100 videos make it count 😁

Even though the skill gap is kinda big, drongo never fails to hype up all the players

gg. what a hold

Philippines mentioned 😮

I'm impressed, one of the guys who had a neighbour at the beginning won against a guy that was pumping like crazy and running everyone over. And let's not forget the legend, the myth, 1092439092, who was casually playing farming simulator.

I'd rather have only mega-random maps. Just play with what you get. When I lose, I can blame it on spawn.

One of the best games ever.

DivineDFP: work smarter not harder

that is the biggest Oof in the history of mankind

Map is interesting

Think he underestimated Divine's def. We know, so we don't. Or maybe he was waiting for dfp to go after orange.

quite the Match :D

How do u use kings ability on Xbox

happens to the best of us

Devs saying that they watch the videos and feedback is trolling . Because drong has been asking for the chat in caster mode for ages and they don't do it

An Octant is a 3D Quadrant.

@Aussie_Drongo calling me pretty damn good? My life is whole. Carroto here :D

Can anybody help me understand how to get into FFA 8 player quick match?

Please devs Xbox control groups! The control group wheel should correspond with buttons on the controller please. Then when you go into battle you could push left trigger like you do now to cycle control groups but instead of cycling with right bumper, each control group would be able to be swapped to with the press of the corresponding button. Thank you!

Nomad ffa should be mega random only. Land mega random, river mega random, hybrid and water mega random

Anyone else hate how all these babies surrender early so they don’t technically get defeated by someone else 😅 also, lol Louis. That had to hurt.

Is el Louemt from Montana?

I never mind stone walls in Age 2. I'm biased because I'm mongols and ALWAYS get siege engineering.

What the heck do we have to do to get the mods working again fellas cmon man.

Orange playing economy simulator

I think nomad ffa quick match should be only megarandom and maybe land megarandom

There's no sacred site in this map??

Mega random all the waaaaaaaayyy!!!!!!

Nomad = Megarandom 100% forever

Spam is Poison

frence farmerama player

would have loved to see a remake here. kind of shit to see that it was so unfair.

Megarandom Nomad is the best

divine on English screams red flag, lol, they literally become a sleeping giant on English

I've played this map in FFA, it's not the most fun to me, you can secure pretty easily your base. and even another base if nobody is there to begin with. Now the relics mini-game can be fun, but if your civ does not rely on relics (English, China, Malian, Otto, Rus, even French) for lategame, no point to fight over them (I think). So, all in all, not the best fan of that map. To me, water maps and mega-random maps are the best for FFA

I love that they implemented Nomad in the first place but why completely disregard the most popular Nomad mode? Almost all Nomad FFA games are played with mega random and the sheer amount of chaos this brings is what makes Nomad such a fun thing to play. Regular maps is what literally all the other modes are for. A king is a cool idea but im not sold on it yet. Naturally we need more time to see how the meta develops in terms of this but right now in the lower leagues it is obvious that some civs struggle a lot with this, look at Mongol.. so all of a sudden because of a king in the game, one of the best ffa civs mongol suddenly becomes quite hard to survive with due to no walls etc. I dont understand why there couldn't be TWO FFA modes and just see for themselves which one is more popular and then go with that. I would bet that the good ol' FFA Nomad mega random would win all day.

megarandom is sooooooo much better than this map for nomad ffa, this map is much better with fixed spawns, this map really, really punishes spawning with another player, more than megarandom, and additionally it lends itself to games being really defensive, which is extra annoying in an 8 player game, which already takes a long time. I recognize the map is fun, but for me, megarandom puts the game in a much better spot. that being said, I love seeing the odd structured map, but in general for ffa, I much prefer megarandom, and even further, much prefer a bit more open maps, with some interesting features. making an already defensive game mode in an already long game even more defensive can make matches take even longer, and sometimes you don't really have the time for that.

Not like this, not like this … Divine could have fake attacked Louie just to keep the illusion haha

3, 3…. 😂
