It would be great if somebody wrote up a history of AOK and AOC's metagame. Even for myself, I still don't know when and how the metagame shifted from knights dominating castle to CAs dominating castle and imperial.
I am pretty sure gutter_rat came up with that, not KW. We can argue wether or not he could make it work competitively, and even then if i remember correctly, it was DevilZ clan who started using it successfully.Kaiser_Wilhelm started "half flush" with briton at the time.
I'd like to hear what other experts have to say here, but i have a very different recollection of events.2~3month. mongols was bebest civs instead of chinese
typing english is really annoying. :$11You're being biased. DevilZ_High was european if i remember correctly.Time to honour one of the greats of AoC.
Kaiser_Wilhelm would win 8-9 out of 10 games vs any European but Arch_Koven_ but was even better than him. That's how a legend is created.
Because at his best, he completely dominated the game.Agree with Funito. Koven has made no contribution towards AOC. Though he was a great player, I don't see how he was any different from someone who invested a lot of time into this game and played it really well.
Before he went to the army a bo21 wasn't necessary to determine who was the best.
That's quite subjective. Gutter rat had arguably one of the biggest contribution to the game (flush) and the vast mayority of people don't even know who he was.I've yet to see any strategy Koven invented and in order to be a Legend in my book, you need to be more then just a great player, you need to change the game itself.
He never won the WCG and lost the final of Clash of Titans (biggest online tournament at the time). He did win Albaret cup. Still, again, he was widely acknowledged as the best.He was just an assassin during tournaments with proper training. He may have been a great copy-cat but Viper is the real deal.
He was 4thin 2001's WCG. How on earth is that not being top?chris wasn't top 2000, 2001, 2002.

Chinese were the go to civ. Until they took the +5 food, chinese were #1 civ. .
I am particularly interested in what Chris would have to say about all this. If i remember correctly, he was once asked what would the top civ be if china was given the 50 food back and he said china (at that time long feudal warfare was the norm. Small chance i am wrong, was long ago. The game has shifted so i am wondering what his thoughts are on that too.
Chris was one of the few experts who was no bs, always called a spade a spade and put his money were his mouth was. Gotta respect that.
I'm afraid the mistake is yours. I remember precisely Aarsvark (Kraken indeed, DevilZ and Myth after that) saying they worked their strat based on gutter rat's. Too bad MFO doesnt keep the old threads. It is was well documented.1. your mistake. you might remember "devilz_ashabark"(l_clan_kraket? i don't remember exact spell. who was from Netherlands) used it most time.
ya it was his favorites strategies. its be famous cuz devilz sure. loko and high, jeuseng_saja, park_se_ri too.
but kaiser used it first time against koven.
koven said "its shorking" in net cafe and xnt_malon, hwiri, me , pak_se_ri all went to koven and watched it beside.
vs happyangel was same cases. that's why i am still remember.
all korean expert stay net cafe 12+hours everyday. i don't think 10+ 2k~2.5k player missed some strategies before.
70 ppl played aoe, aok there. we talked and researched with drink about strategies, player. we learnt dm and give and take a tips each other.
its good memories.
Yeah, like there were no records about MFO's ladder.2. you can't say like that if you were active on rated 1v1.
I understand whay you say, but that is not what you said before.chineses was best civs. but it sometimes no good if sheep was so far and couldnt find early time. up time was very unstabilities. it sometimes called "lose game"
C'mon Nnn Chris! Illuminate us with your knowledge... show us that you are more than just a recall of a player who used to be #1Can anyone guess where he's lying and where he's telling the truth?
There are 3 100% lies in there.
Always sad when someone has to lie
