AngelinaJolie: "Khmer Battle Elephant Killed My Father!"
Huehuecoyotl22
Welcome, AngelinaJolie. You are currently the best Dutch AoE II player and it looks like you are still improving. So it might be a good idea to tell people who you are.
A) What happened to Brad Pitt? Why is he so much worse at AoE than you? How did that influence your divorce?
This is his rate in bed as well... Divorce was obvious after no improvements 11.
B) On December 19 2016 Rise of the Rajas was released, then on February 18 2017 your movie „First They Killed My Father“, which is a Khmer biographical historical thriller. Any connection or just coincidence?
Let’s start with the real interview 11:
I think that's still the newest picture of myself 11.
1. How old are you?
I just got 24 already!
2. Since when do you play Age of Empires 2, have you played Age of Empires 1/3?
I played AoK in 2011-2012 for 2-3 years, I think on Gameranger! There I learned the game by watching recorded games of Pike (NorthernPike), Pillager (mentalist) and Tyger (Turkish 2k player). I talked to them as well and especially Tyger gave a lot of feedback on my recorded games. There was even a special AoK forum for all of that. But then the time came to all move on to Voobly. When learning new civs I fell in love with the Huns! I just played them all the time. Again watching recorded games, learning build orders and using the right strats. I became 18+ which I really wanted to be because then I could apply to RoR! They had really strong Arabia Huns players like RoR_Volcan and RoR_Leblanc (Rayne/Alex). There I improved really fast. I became friends with RoR_Optilaser (Desert_fox, Jaagup). He just kept on coaching me! Even now he is giving me feedback. He is an awesome guy and a really good teacher. On the RoR forums I received a lot of feedback on my recorded games as well. Jara, Rayne and Jaagup gave me a lot of things to improve. This was extremely detailed feedback with pictures, long texts and even mental training by Alex 11. I can't thank these guys enough for all of this. In the end I reached 2k in I think 2 years something.
2a) In which clans have you been since then?
TeamNL and Rulers of Rome (RoR).
2b) How would you describe your playstyle?
It's a mix of walls no balls, going forward when I have a bad map (Chinese style 11) and good BOs.
2c) How different does it feel being a 2k2 player from being a 2k player? Do you think you will reach 2k4 in the next 2 years?
The difference is really big! It is the same between 18xx and 2k. Just the up-times, build orders, using right strats, map control, use of hills, speed and micro are just on another level. I feel like a 18xx when I play 2.4k players 11. Even experience is just so dangerous.
Funny thing is that I reached 2.2k my first time when I had my old laptop. I was playing on 1280 x 768 resolution 11. I had to use hotkeys for lumbercamp and mill to get there fast. The screen was just too small 1111. Now I got the 1920 x 1080 since 2 months. I still need to get used to it especially speed- wise. But omg this feels so nice 11.
3. Why did you choose the AoE nickname „AngelinaJolie“?
used to play AoK with friends. And we all chose an actress which we found most beautiful and awesome. So we had like Jessica Alba, Cameron Diaz and Angelina Jolie 11. It was so fun that people thinking we were really women (How would you think that?! 11). It was really funny so we kept the names.
Are any of the other ladies still active or were they just casual players?
They were active on AoK Gameranger. We became quite good at booming and Imp play that time. But they don't play anymore. 1 friend of mine plays sometimes noob Black Forest games here on Voobly.
4. Do you stream? If yes, what is your stream link?
https://www.twitch.tv/angelina_jolie - I am streaming for some weeks now! So plz follow <3.
4a) How frequently and at which times do you stream?
I stream a lot this month because I still have vacation, but I try to stream as much as possible when work begins.
4b) What is special about your stream, why should it be watched?
The Angelina Jolie gifs are just amazing 11 + there is amazing gameplay to see ! :D
5. Which city do you come from/live in? What do you like/dislike about it and where would you like to move to?
My hometown is Castricum and it's just perfect. It's close to all the big cities by train (20 minutes to Amsterdam) , I can get to the beach with the bike and there is still that good hometown feeling. So I plan to stay here! ^^
6. Favourite things:
a) What is your favourite food?
Pizza! Just love it.
What would you put on top of a pizza?
Pepperoni, Ham, Cheese, Mozzarella and tomato sauce.
Which foods from your home country/region would you recommend?
'Broodje Frikandel speciaal' (Sandwich with fried meat , mayonnaise, ketchup and onions). It's a Dutch thing.
What can you cook well yourself and how often do you do it?
Well, my parents broke up some years ago and my mother works till late most times, so I cook almost every day. My little brothers doing it a few times, but most times they clean up after. Perfect teamwork 11.
Do you also make pizza yourself? Do you have a photo of that or something else you cooked?
I don't make photos of my food, I eat it kappa. But I make normal healthy dishes for my brothers and mother. So most of the time it's a pasta or some Holland dish like 'Bloemkool' and 'Hutspot' (cauliflower with potatoes, potpourri) .
b) What is your favourite colour? (Does not need to be one of the 8 AoE II colours)
I did love 8 (orange) for a bit because its the colour of the Netherlands. But my own favorite colour is just dark blue so 1! ^^
c) What is your favourite animal?
The Cheetah! I play football and I am a fast player. I always could run fast, so even as a kid i just loved to see Cheetahs on the discovery channel. They so freaking fast, just love it.
I like that answer, finally not just "dog" or "cat". While of course dogs and cats often become real friends and become favourite animals like that, there are so many fascinating animals. I actually like running fast too, especially when I play football with casual players I am faster then most. But I prefer jaguars over cheetahs, because they also swim so well - and, since I was a child, I was more into tropical environment rather than into savanna.
Jaguars are awesome too! But I prefer speed over strength. Most people confuse these animals with each other! But not after this interview 111.
I have not heard of anyone confusing a jaguar with a cheetah, but some of the big cats that are not lions or tigers for sure. Like leopards, cloud leopards, ocelots, pumas etc. I would think fast running fits me better than strength too, but I already told my reasons above.
d) What/where is your favourite place on Earth?
Every place if I am with family and friends 11 Bit cliché but it is the truth ^^.
Still hoping for a more special answer in an interview. Well, FeAge's was, but it was censored 11. So where was the best place you went to with family or friends?
Well, can't make things up man 1111. With friends I went on party vacations to Albufeira, Mallorca, Blanes and Mimizan. When we were 16 years old we had like kissing contest, Nerf gun fights in our villa and a lot of beerpong tourneys 11. But I think most people did crazy stuff when they were young 11.
With a friend we won a big beerpong tourney in a bar in town (both 20 years old). The tourney took like 6 hours. So when we were in the final, everyone was so drunk 11. There is a special rule that when you both throw the ball in the same cup, you win instantly. That final me and my friend did that on the first throw!!! So we won about 200 Euro and the other team needed to kill 4 beers 111. (We did help them though.)
Now we got a golden plate with our names on it with all the other beerpong champions. I need to go back for the photo if you want it 11.
Not what I thought you could answer, but still a good story.
e) What is your favourite song at the moment, of all time (can be top 5)?
Girls Like You - Maroon 5 (focusing on girls like Angelina Jolie <3)
f) What is your favourite movie of all time (can be top 5)? Who is your favourite actor?
Mr and Mrs Smith of course! That's why I took the name Angelina Jolie in the first place! Actor should be clear as well now 11.
g) Do you have a favourite sports team? (football, basketball etc.)
My favourite team is Ajax. I love the history of the club and I watch it a lot with my mother and gf.
So your mother and girlfriend both like football too? Because of you or did they like it before?
My mother got her love for football from her dad. That’s why we love watching Ajax together. She also watches all my football games. My gf and I both play at the same club. Both in the first team. It's really cool :D.
h) What are your favourite traits on a woman?
I just love when a girl is cute (something way different then beautiful). She has to have cute smile, cute laugh and cute ass ( kidding 111) My gf just got all of that and she doesn’t even know it!
Seems quite perfect. Playing football and very cute. Why does she not know?
7. What time do you usually go to sleep? What do you like doing before sleeping?
I sleep around 22 or 23, depends on work or not. I like to watch some AoE streams. So when a game is over I can sleep well. (Or just go for another one!!)
8. Which countries have you visited?
France, Germany, Belgium, England, Spain, Italy, Austria, Portugal and of course the West coast of America.
8a) And where would you like to go to? Why?
My gf and me are planning to go to Peru. Just only for the Alpacas, they freaking awesome 11. Well, alright we will see some others things as well 11.
9. What are your hobbies beside AoE?
Football and chilling with friends. I don’t have time for more hobbies 11.
Yes, if you have AoE and play on a football team, that already covers a lot of time. Luckily you have a big hobby you share with your girlfriends, so you don’t need to stop too much.
10. Who would you like to meet once, who you have not met? One AoE player and one other person.
I like to meet Jaagup (Desert_fox) at least for a day or something one day! We have been friends on AoC for so long. But always being busy doesn’t help!
11. Do you have an AoE idol?
I am fan of TheViper. I can't help it. He just plays this game till perfection if he really tries hard. I got the honour to play with him in a tourney with Viper vs Daut and some lower players 11. We lost but we had a lot of fun 111.
12. What is your favourite civilisation, map and unit?
Still Arabia Huns is just where my love is! My favourite unit is the scout.
So you played AoK for 2-3 years, what was your favourite civ before Huns?
I forgot to tell this! But AoK was all about Chinese skirms war! In AoK you start with 7 vills, so you can pull it off without any idle tc time. Well imagine getting 4 more villagers in the beginning. It’s just amazing how strong your economy is. 23 vills up was 9:50 or something Feudal. So it was 2 ranges and most times bs as well. And pump out skirms. There was like stop micro way to play with the units. Then it came to Castle Age, 3 stable knights. Then I remembered a big AoK tourney and Viper went to play that. I though: he never plays AoK, he would lose in skirm war. But he won it easily of course 11 ( I was too noob then).
12a) Which sound is your favourite in-game sound?
My most favourite sound is that I hear a monk trying to convert but I just run back in time and it stays silent after that. The sound of relieve 11.
12b) If Arabia did not exist, which map do you think everyone would be playing like people play Arabia?
Probably FR maps and maps like Bedouins. I like maps with special build orders.
13. Who is your favourite and least favourite 1v1 opponent?
- Favourite: Mattie (Project_Belgium): We are on the same level and we are getting better and better playing each other + he speaks Dutch.
- Least favourite: The yolo Chinese guys with 0 eco and weird strats. But I can learn from them as well!
14. Who is your favourite team mate?
a) For just playing
RoR_ Rogier. We played a lot of tourneys together and he is Dutch as well ^^.
b) Also outside of the game
Rogier and Mischa.
c) Would you live in a a) 1-bedroom, b) 2-bedroom) apartment with him/her for a) 1 month, b) 1 year?
1-bedroom so we can watch AoE together and 1 month would be enough 11.
15. In the new expansions, what is your favourite new civilisation and unit?
I like the Magyars, because they feel a bit like Huns! + I love their intro sound.
https://www.forgottenempires.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/MAGYARS.mp3
16. ECL: The tournament just started. Predict a placement.
1. Secret, 2. aM and 3. Chinese team 11.
I just love that aM is making it hard for Secret. That competition is just delight to see. If aM wins it would be cool as well! Even if I am a Viper fan 11.
17. Make a ranking of the best 5 Dutch players at the moment based on 1v1 skills.
I think that is still really hard. Like Prays and Dirk (old school players) are always really dangerous! But with WK now I just leave them out for now. 1. Me, 2. Goldenend, 3. Rogier, 4. Glokken, 5. Prays.
Last 2 Dutch Cups, first one won Prays (in a comeback) and the second I won. If Prays came back he would probably own all of us again 11.
Actually, although they never reached anything in any big tournament since I follow AoE (2012), botth PraYs and Dirk are players I will always remember. PraYs was the one teaching JorDan_23, right? And Dirk actually got 3rd place in a Turbo Random tournament, which was one of, if not the first tournament I watched on Twitch.
Dirk was like 10 years back one of the biggest players out there. I don’t know for sure what he won or not. But his playstyle is crazy 11.
Prays did teach Jordan. Prays was also an oldschool player. His teamplay is amazing too. He taught me as well with a lot of things before NC. It made me even better. Still my Imp play then was not good in comparison to now.
18. Which 6 players from your country do you think will form the A team, if there will be a Nations Cup next summer? It will probably be on WK, which maps would you like to be included apart from Arabia, Nomad, Islands?
Golden, Rogier, Glokken, Prays, Dirk and me.
Maps: Bedouins, Houseboat and Panama.
19. Which 4 players would you like to see forming a team? (can included inactive players)
Wonder, Mentalist, Hera and Pike would be awesome again 11.
20. Which 6 / 8 players would you invite for Nili’s Apartment Cup 2? (Player 7 and 8 need to be excluded if 6 is the limit. Player 1-6 don’t need to be ranked)
Viper, Liereyy, Hearth, DauT, MBL, Jordan (Yo and Vivi, if possible xd)
21. In which tournaments would you participate? Master of Islands 2, Master of the Sea (Islands, Team Islands, Baltic, Water Nomad and more), Master of MegaRandom 2 (1v1 or 2v2?), Master of Full Random, a tournament with just new maps that were not included in AoC?
Master of Full Random is the best one! Arabia 1v1 tourney is still my biggest wish.
22. Which languages do you speak/understand and which would you like to learn?
I speak Dutch and a decent English. I am learning Spanish now. So that one I really like to master!
23. If you visit AoEZone and Voobly, is there something you like especially or would like to have improved?
I am already happy how all of this works! Really grateful to the people that putting so much time in all <3.
25. What is the funniest moment in your life you experienced because of AoE?
I think last Nation Cup. I played with Prays and Dirk. I just kept on laughing about those 2. I just can’t explain it. One time I just fell off my chair, was amazing. That made the NC even better.
We even lost 3-2 to Vietnam. Would be so good if we won that last game 11. Bit wrong but so good! xd
26. If you were not in a relationship, and could date anyone, who would it be?
I would find my gf again, she is just so perfect 11 (I am sorry I am like this xd)
Absolutely no need to be sorry.
27. What would you like to do to make the world better?
This always starts with yourself. So I eat less meat, use less plastic and we made a bee hotel in the garden 111.
28. Choose without me giving you any background information or what it should be about: a) Chris or DauT? Tim or TheViper? Metal or DraCoNT? FeAge or Lavie_Head? ZeroEmpires or T90? sBlack Forest or Nomad? 1v1 or 4v4? Feudal Age or Imperial Age? Arena or Islands?
DauT, TheViper, DraconT, FeAge, ZeroEmpires, Nomad, 1v1!, Feudal, Arena.
29. Write a rap of 8 lines about something AoE-related, either in English or your native language
We just all love Age
Doesn’t matter which age (so bad it becomes good 111111)
How cant that be?
With this community!
I hope i will reach 2.3k
and party héhéhé
Huehuecoyotl is a great guy
Hope to see you all soon, bye!
This was a freestyle, right? Or how long did it take to write?
This was freestyle 1. 1111 I think like 2 min? xd
30. Who do you want me to interview and what question would you like me to ask her/him?
Mmm! Interview Memb and ask him when next BOA comes. That was just pure pleasure 11
I already thought about him before. I hope he agrees. Probably he will have told everything I ask him on stream already at one point, but although I have watched a decent number of hours of his stream during the years, it's probably still less than 0.001 % of what he has streamed.
Would be really great!
Yes, I also hope it will be possible to ask him humorous questions like I asked you or FeAge. I think his English has improved a lot, so it should work, compared to how it is when I interview Asian players with limited English and different humour.
31. Add one more comment or question for me or someone else.
You are so amazing man. I always felt so honoured if you posted a record game of me when I was just 19xx/2k. It really made me even more dedicated to go further and further. We are lucky you are in our community! <3
Thanks. And also thank you for your interview. And good luck with reaching 2k3 before the end of the year, even without recorded games posted.
Thanks man! will be hard without your records 11 But will try! <3
A) What happened to Brad Pitt? Why is he so much worse at AoE than you? How did that influence your divorce?
This is his rate in bed as well... Divorce was obvious after no improvements 11.
B) On December 19 2016 Rise of the Rajas was released, then on February 18 2017 your movie „First They Killed My Father“, which is a Khmer biographical historical thriller. Any connection or just coincidence?
A Khmer Battle Elephant killed the father! :O
1. How old are you?
I just got 24 already!
2. Since when do you play Age of Empires 2, have you played Age of Empires 1/3?
I played AoK in 2011-2012 for 2-3 years, I think on Gameranger! There I learned the game by watching recorded games of Pike (NorthernPike), Pillager (mentalist) and Tyger (Turkish 2k player). I talked to them as well and especially Tyger gave a lot of feedback on my recorded games. There was even a special AoK forum for all of that. But then the time came to all move on to Voobly.

On the RoR forums I received a lot of feedback on my recorded games as well. Jara, Rayne and Jaagup gave me a lot of things to improve. This was extremely detailed feedback with pictures, long texts and even mental training by Alex 11. I can't thank these guys enough for all of this. In the end I reached 2k in I think 2 years something.
2a) In which clans have you been since then?
TeamNL and Rulers of Rome (RoR).
2b) How would you describe your playstyle?

2c) How different does it feel being a 2k2 player from being a 2k player? Do you think you will reach 2k4 in the next 2 years?
The difference is really big! It is the same between 18xx and 2k. Just the up-times, build orders, using right strats, map control, use of hills, speed and micro are just on another level. I feel like a 18xx when I play 2.4k players 11. Even experience is just so dangerous.
Funny thing is that I reached 2.2k my first time when I had my old laptop. I was playing on 1280 x 768 resolution 11. I had to use hotkeys for lumbercamp and mill to get there fast. The screen was just too small 1111. Now I got the 1920 x 1080 since 2 months. I still need to get used to it especially speed- wise. But omg this feels so nice 11.
3. Why did you choose the AoE nickname „AngelinaJolie“?
used to play AoK with friends. And we all chose an actress which we found most beautiful and awesome. So we had like Jessica Alba, Cameron Diaz and Angelina Jolie 11. It was so fun that people thinking we were really women (How would you think that?! 11). It was really funny so we kept the names.

My favourite team is Ajax. I love the history of the club and I watch it a lot with my mother and gf.

10. Who would you like to meet once, who you have not met? One AoE player and one other person.

I though: he never plays AoK, he would lose in skirm war. But he won it easily of course 11 ( I was too noob then).
12a) Which sound is your favourite in-game sound?
My most favourite sound is that I hear a monk trying to convert but I just run back in time and it stays silent after that. The sound of relieve 11.
12b) If Arabia did not exist, which map do you think everyone would be playing like people play Arabia?
Probably FR maps and maps like Bedouins. I like maps with special build orders.
13. Who is your favourite and least favourite 1v1 opponent?
- Favourite: Mattie (Project_Belgium): We are on the same level and we are getting better and better playing each other + he speaks Dutch.
- Least favourite: The yolo Chinese guys with 0 eco and weird strats. But I can learn from them as well!
14. Who is your favourite team mate?
a) For just playing
RoR_ Rogier. We played a lot of tourneys together and he is Dutch as well ^^.
b) Also outside of the game
Rogier and Mischa.
c) Would you live in a a) 1-bedroom, b) 2-bedroom) apartment with him/her for a) 1 month, b) 1 year?
1-bedroom so we can watch AoE together and 1 month would be enough 11.
15. In the new expansions, what is your favourite new civilisation and unit?
I like the Magyars, because they feel a bit like Huns! + I love their intro sound.
16. ECL: The tournament just started. Predict a placement.
1. Secret, 2. aM and 3. Chinese team 11.
I just love that aM is making it hard for Secret. That competition is just delight to see. If aM wins it would be cool as well! Even if I am a Viper fan 11.
17. Make a ranking of the best 5 Dutch players at the moment based on 1v1 skills.
I think that is still really hard. Like Prays and Dirk (old school players) are always really dangerous! But with WK now I just leave them out for now. 1. Me, 2. Goldenend, 3. Rogier, 4. Glokken, 5. Prays.
Last 2 Dutch Cups, first one won Prays (in a comeback) and the second I won. If Prays came back he would probably own all of us again 11.
Actually, although they never reached anything in any big tournament since I follow AoE (2012), botth PraYs and Dirk are players I will always remember. PraYs was the one teaching JorDan_23, right? And Dirk actually got 3rd place in a Turbo Random tournament, which was one of, if not the first tournament I watched on Twitch.
Dirk was like 10 years back one of the biggest players out there. I don’t know for sure what he won or not. But his playstyle is crazy 11.
Prays did teach Jordan. Prays was also an oldschool player. His teamplay is amazing too. He taught me as well with a lot of things before NC. It made me even better. Still my Imp play then was not good in comparison to now.
18. Which 6 players from your country do you think will form the A team, if there will be a Nations Cup next summer? It will probably be on WK, which maps would you like to be included apart from Arabia, Nomad, Islands?
Golden, Rogier, Glokken, Prays, Dirk and me.
Maps: Bedouins, Houseboat and Panama.
19. Which 4 players would you like to see forming a team? (can included inactive players)
Wonder, Mentalist, Hera and Pike would be awesome again 11.
20. Which 6 / 8 players would you invite for Nili’s Apartment Cup 2? (Player 7 and 8 need to be excluded if 6 is the limit. Player 1-6 don’t need to be ranked)
Viper, Liereyy, Hearth, DauT, MBL, Jordan (Yo and Vivi, if possible xd)
21. In which tournaments would you participate? Master of Islands 2, Master of the Sea (Islands, Team Islands, Baltic, Water Nomad and more), Master of MegaRandom 2 (1v1 or 2v2?), Master of Full Random, a tournament with just new maps that were not included in AoC?
Master of Full Random is the best one! Arabia 1v1 tourney is still my biggest wish.
22. Which languages do you speak/understand and which would you like to learn?
I speak Dutch and a decent English. I am learning Spanish now. So that one I really like to master!
23. If you visit AoEZone and Voobly, is there something you like especially or would like to have improved?
I am already happy how all of this works! Really grateful to the people that putting so much time in all <3.
25. What is the funniest moment in your life you experienced because of AoE?
I think last Nation Cup. I played with Prays and Dirk. I just kept on laughing about those 2. I just can’t explain it. One time I just fell off my chair, was amazing. That made the NC even better.
We even lost 3-2 to Vietnam. Would be so good if we won that last game 11. Bit wrong but so good! xd
26. If you were not in a relationship, and could date anyone, who would it be?
I would find my gf again, she is just so perfect 11 (I am sorry I am like this xd)
Absolutely no need to be sorry.
27. What would you like to do to make the world better?
This always starts with yourself. So I eat less meat, use less plastic and we made a bee hotel in the garden 111.
28. Choose without me giving you any background information or what it should be about: a) Chris or DauT? Tim or TheViper? Metal or DraCoNT? FeAge or Lavie_Head? ZeroEmpires or T90? sBlack Forest or Nomad? 1v1 or 4v4? Feudal Age or Imperial Age? Arena or Islands?
DauT, TheViper, DraconT, FeAge, ZeroEmpires, Nomad, 1v1!, Feudal, Arena.
29. Write a rap of 8 lines about something AoE-related, either in English or your native language
We just all love Age
Doesn’t matter which age (so bad it becomes good 111111)
How cant that be?
With this community!
I hope i will reach 2.3k
and party héhéhé
Huehuecoyotl is a great guy
Hope to see you all soon, bye!
This was a freestyle, right? Or how long did it take to write?
This was freestyle 1. 1111 I think like 2 min? xd
30. Who do you want me to interview and what question would you like me to ask her/him?
Mmm! Interview Memb and ask him when next BOA comes. That was just pure pleasure 11
I already thought about him before. I hope he agrees. Probably he will have told everything I ask him on stream already at one point, but although I have watched a decent number of hours of his stream during the years, it's probably still less than 0.001 % of what he has streamed.
Would be really great!
Yes, I also hope it will be possible to ask him humorous questions like I asked you or FeAge. I think his English has improved a lot, so it should work, compared to how it is when I interview Asian players with limited English and different humour.
31. Add one more comment or question for me or someone else.
You are so amazing man. I always felt so honoured if you posted a record game of me when I was just 19xx/2k. It really made me even more dedicated to go further and further. We are lucky you are in our community! <3
Thanks. And also thank you for your interview. And good luck with reaching 2k3 before the end of the year, even without recorded games posted.
Thanks man! will be hard without your records 11 But will try! <3
