Hi It's still work in progress for console compatibility I'll probably update the mod by Sunday ( I hope)

😅 whhhoops

Just for you boss we gonna make it happen soon

@@ChillyEmpire im so glad to hear

Lmao sounds good to me 😆

That is a great question. Short answer is no. Long answer is - we identified that while designing the civ and got lazy and pretended like folks wouldn’t notice. Since you noticed, we should probably fix the description at least 😅

@@ChillyEmpire could be interesting if at least the vils benefited. Send out the children's crusade!

I like that! I’ll consider changing it

To be honest I had no idea. I just wanted to reference some fun pop mythology. But that’s cool! Thanks for educating me. Might be better to rename the tech “Order of Christ” but I kind of like the Freemason reference more. It’s more fun 😆

If you open the modding tool , you understand why this happened There is not an option to add civ , the only possibility is to replace them , so the modded civ are not varient of the replaced civ , that's just an slot used for the mod

They run the future civs mod which combines all of these custom ones into a single mod. A consideration then is that none of what they make can occupy the same slot so it all fits. They probably had to plan out what mod civs take which slot. And don't forget that mechanics are hard slotted. That is to say, this crusade system could only work in the ottoman slot. It has little to do with history which civ gets what slot - its mechanics. And frankly the series has always been incredibly interpretive and loosy goosy with history. Its about as historical as the civilization series. Historical vibes and feels is all it is.

​@@hossein8221 alright, thanks for pointing that out, now i know something new, appreciate the info 👍.

@@Aarlaeoss understandable, before i did not know about how the mod works in age of empires 4, but it makes sense now. unfortunately, I don't think games or movies could ever make a true accurate depiction of medieval history, but I guess the documentary is the best for that in terms of historical accuracy, for now.

You mentioned a helms deep mod, this was also insanely epic in starcraft. Cheers, never played aom as a kid, aoe absolutely. Black and white franchise I got into a little late but dang it was epic, I'm hoping this is an amalgamation of the two and it seems epic. Wish my download speed was faster lol.

They should! And they should get rid of those weird unique units from the Bazaar.

Great feedback as always mate. This was actually a last minute change to the design. So that’s probably why this feature feels under baked. 😅 Basically, we originally made it so that each Order Chapter could only select one Order to “house”. Similar to choosing a mercenary group in the mercenary camp. But the end result was you basically only ever made one order knight class and you ignored the others. We felt this limited interesting choices for the player. So allowing each Order Chapter to build whichever Order Knight you wanted, would be a simple fix that allows more interesting strategic decision making. Each knight specializes in a different area, which can be used to supplement your main military. I didn’t really consider how they’d work “in combination” as they aren’t really meant to work in combination with each other, but rather they’re meant to work in combination with normal troops. That being said I’ll think about this a bit more. Would love to hear any suggestions.

Unfortunately no, not right now at least

The subfactions they chose were just weird and a waste of potential. I personally wanted to see faction schism, like the turks being a steppe faction with the ability to settle into the Ottomans with a wonder.

Ayyubids made a lot of sense given they were extremely influential and historically significant. JD made no sense tbh. I expect Crusader states to be added to the game when the Mamluks are added. The Mamluks aren't at all included in the Ayyubids civ outside the campaign itself (which also has Crusader special units). I'd love to see the Mamluk Marines (Bahriyah), they were heavily armored knights who actually defeated everything they confronted

its real tho

how exactly are they in the game? he is using mods here.

@BlackHoundWolf the units are from the campaign, the flag to i think. Idk why they didnt make a civ yet, but bringing culture war bs aint it

@@twagon8854 i never played the Campains i thought the units were modded too

They don’t exist in this time period… well I mean Inca Mayan and Aztec do exist, but the game is more focused on the Old World during the early middle ages to renaissance

@swiggityswoogity705 aoe2 has American civs

Well it would be hard to balance.. like.. they wouldn't have horses or cavallerie, no gunpowder weapons, no siege.. so.. they'd have to depend on venom or what

​@@hatimzeineddine8723 in AoEII their focus wasn't really on unique and kind of authentic civs. Everything was kinda copy paste, every civ had the same standard military and they made compromises like with siege. Wouldn't really fit in AoEIV.

In AOE4, you can think of the number of villagers you have akin to mana in Hearthstone. The more villagers you have, the more your potential power “ramps up.” Having a second town center doubles the speed of your villager growth. As now you can constantly produce from two town centers instead of just one. This means you can ramp up to a late game army much faster. The risk however, is if your opponent attacks you before you ramp up, they will destroy you. Because while you invested in a town center, they invested in a bigger army.

@ wow thank you for that explanation, i play on console it’s really hard to keep up with just one town center sometimes I find myself having them auto-qued then sitting there until I realize I need a resource

@@aidanmckuen1252 Yeah it took a while for this stuff to click for me as well haha. It's not innately intuitive. But once you get used to constantly pumping out vills, it becomes a whole different game (and a lot more fun imo!)
