Does it bother anyone else Zero Empires spreads false information?
I don't watch Zero Empires videos often but I came across this one today on reddit and watched it because I was bored: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qq3xDMXtXnc
I was shocked at how much information was just wrong.
The topic of it is the Top 5 AoE2 civs, he ranks them in the following order:
1. Huns
2. Mayans
3. Mongols
4. Vikings
5. Aztecs
My first problem with this video is ranking Aztecs so low when pro players like the viper have said they are better vs huns on arabia. He also made no mention of starting with the eagle warrior instead of the scout which makes finding your resources much faster and the ability to steal a boar more easily. My next major complaint is when he says "don't bother with the vikings on land". (direct quote) They aren't as good as huns or meso on ara but they are a good civ with their strong economy. On more closed maps such as BF melkor has shown that they can compete with tier 2 civs such as franks. He claims mongols have a better early game than late game which I disagree with. Zero also says cannon galleons don't matter for mayans because they get every other upgrade, heavy demo is nowhere near as valuable as cannon ships.
Am I just being a **** by being picky? maybe. Should new players take his advise? probably not.
