- AoE4 has numerous water maps, and unlike some previous Age games, they actually seem to make the games even more insane.

Looove the aoe4 casts some of the most intresting games I’ve seen
@Byner Acct. already have aoe2 has literally been the game I’ve played and watched for the past two years tbh one of the best things in my life that I’ve discovered
AoE 4 - please add kraken
AoM players - you guys don't have kraken?
I want the Age of Atheism Expansion to Age of Mythology so I can wait a million years for alchemy to be real: slime into Frankenslime!
Dhows and these fishing boats look the same, the fishing boat is just smaller, i hope they change one of them to have an easier time differentiating them. It’s similar with European archer and attack ships, they have the same shape except for the extra sail.
Yeah, the models look like shit IMO, compared to Age 2 there is so little detail to these ships it's laughable. They look bland as hell.
@@007999999999999999 definitely agree. The correct word is bland yess. Hope they change it. They don't event have weapon on them so that they can fire some arrows. An empty ship fires arrows out of nothing...
It's easy. Dhows have a triangular flag at the top of the mast. Fishing boats have not flag.
complaining about this just means you are blind.
I actually much prefer the more realistic ships. AoE 2 ships don’t really look like medieval warships.
@@007999999999999999 over inflated sense of how it looked historically
Love the fact, that players from every AOE are coming together for Age4!
That's the glass half-full. The glass half-empty is the fact that other games' communities lose members 'cause of this fad drawing people away.
heck yeah they are even coming of age of mythology like on of the players in this vid
@@scintillam_dei i see it as a nice game that draws new people torwards the Age franchise, which is a win for everyone
All We need is Kraken
I think that's something for next Mythology game.
@@pasindudinusha6507 its in the first myth already im sure
@@davidlubkowski7175 yeah Norse had Kraken as a unit.
Can't wait for turtle ships with Koreans!
They need to fix the spawn of Berry bushes and trees.. some are in the water..and i dont know if the TC should spawn that close to the costline
I pray and hope to the gods that after Age of Empires 4 is released they will use the same engine to make a Age of Mythology variant with different gameplay.
I really miss Age of Mythology's chaos and gamechanging godpowers
Never in my life I though I would enjoy water games as much as a did on aoe4.
Naval combat on this game is simply on another lvl.
Paid review from Microsoft?
@@tylerdurdenstronghltv8565 cry me a river buddy, if you don't like it don't buy it.
The game is overall on the right track, but naval battles feel clunky and look stupid. Hope they make some changes to it.
@@StatedOregon5 not long ago the game had many bad comments and reviews and suddenly right before release its a fantastic game.
@@tylerdurdenstronghltv8565 i think that's all in your head. I've seen many positive comments on the game since the first closed beta
The arrows comming out of the boats look worse than in Aoe2.
The Seaweed blocking line of site is so counter intuitive, they should change it to a misty/shrouded area or a few shipwrecks that blocks line of site instead.
Personally i found this map was my least favourite of the stress test, it needs more features to make it more interesting and not just a boring ship/eco war imo.
I agree, they should change the seaweed or whatever it is to fog or storm or some kind of rocky outcrop. It doesn’t make sense atm. Or maybe they can change it so the seaweed only slows ships that pass through it (maybe by being really annoying to the rudder?).
Hooo Nice idea, sea weed is just nosense bro kkkk
Hagrid was probably abit lost cause the Kraken he's used to from AoM didnt spawn when he called for him 🤷
kraken as a cheat unit would be awesome
Hi twitch!
Also, the ship probably doesnt have a hard k sound, but more of a g? Sorry, don't really know how to explain over text
Your commentating is great, usually I hate watching casts like this, but this is good
I wish we could see archers shooting the ship's arrows rather than arrows just spawning from the hull, It's 2021 Relic has the technology to do this, game engines were limited years ago so games didn't have these details, why can't se have it now? If I want to experience 2000s RTS graphics, ill go play a 2000s RTS.
I love this game so much but I literally have no idea on how to play it correctly like you, and also I can't even afford to buy this game so I used to play pirated versions of age III and II, and I just wanted to comment to let you know that "Abassid" is actually called "Abbasi" in pronunciation like without the "D" in the end. 😊
Can someone explain why the fishing boats are healing themselves? Thanks
I think the healing rate of docks is way too fast and op
To me it seems the huge healing range is an even bigger problem.
yea, at least it should not heal ships for, for example, 15 seconds after ship recieving damage.
I think it is a good thing. Otherwise all games will end up being decided on who pushes the other out of the water in the early game. The healing gives a defenders advantage, but not so much that it's not worth being aggressive.
@@julesjacobs1 I respectfully believe that you are completely wrong on this and that pushing on navy in a water map is logical.
@@Soler4485 pushing is but winning water immediately after one battle is boring and frustrating.
honestly great cast
They should add Moby dick or sperm whales that give heaps of food but can also attack and damage your ships!
First video I have seen of yours. Excellent microphone, great clear voice, and good knowledge of the game. I will be watching many more.
#addkraken
The landscape being so much more real looking than the units and ships looks strange… to me anyways.
"I'd like to thank that fellow down under..." Nice. Made me laugh.
Add the Kraken? shouldn't that be: Release the Kraken!"?
Devs get crackin and add a kraken
Die Pfeile der Schiffe sehen hässlich aus, die müssen auch kleiner werden!
Warum ist das alles schwarz außen herum? Als ob die nur die Hand vor den Augen sehen...gefällt mir nicht...
Prudent was the word you were looking for I think.
what does sacred sites do?
And they give you some gold/minute.
@tummy flu so i can win the game without attakcing my opp. sounds weird to me - but tx
@@otaconz1147 It's not weird at all. The sacred sites require map control and are forcing engagement of the turtling players if they don't want to loose. But it's not like they can't counter that with building a wonder (obviously before the sacred site victory timer starts) - in that case the other player(s) are forced to deal with the enemies fortifications.
They are like Aoe1 ruins.
@@otaconz1147, AoE2 has relic victory and wonder victory, AoE3 has monopoly victory.
Abbasid is severely underrated on water, all people say about what is good about them is that 'they have cheaper docks'. Which by themselves is good, but not good enough.
Some of the other significant advantages they have are:
- Dhows shoot while moving
- Dhows are the fastest ships in the game, this however is balanced by them having the lowest hp out of the age 2 ships.
- They have an upgrade giving Dhows +100 hp. All of a sudden, they now have more hp than the other age 2 ships besides french hulks.
- Going culture wing first. This makes upgrades cheaper, notably fishing nets and steeled arrows.
All of these make Abbasid probably the second strongest age 2 water civ. You can save insane amounts of money over time with the cheaper upgrades to as gold is the main limiting resource in water battles, allowing for more attack ships. Faster ships + shoot while moving also makes Dhows incredibly microable.
- Baghlah's also have an arrow attack aside from their ballistae, which shoots while moving and benefits from the blacksmith arrow upgrades. This means the money you invested into the extra damage for age 2 ships does not go to waste, giving Abbasid a further edge in age 2, as steeled arrow is even less of an investment and a higher chance of occurring in a game.
- Baghlah's are just barely the strongest age 3 ship. However cost for cost all ships lose to the Lodya (without demos)
- Xebecs are the second strongest age 4 ship, only barely losing to the Bouchaun, and easily trumping the Carrack. They are more expensive than the Carrack significantly and cheaper than the Bouchaun.
All ships lose cost for cost to the Lodya in every age, however Lodyas are significantly weaker to demo ships and defensive structures.
- Abbasid has the strongest trading in the game, which includes trading ships.
Recommended aging path on water: Culture, Trading, Economic, Military.
Additional: Having Economic doesn't matter as food is never an issue on water maps. The only upgrade useful in water maps is the age 4 upgrade which increases gathering from anything.
Military doesn't affect ships in any way. Only camels and infantry.
Culture is super useful and is better the earlier you get it.
Trading is extremely strong, however takes up production time so investing in traders on water in age 2 is likely a death sentence.
You're so fun to watch man..
Baghlah gang
The first video I watched was you playing duo as Delhi in a 2 vs 2; 2 days later, My God I can't get enough of you!! :D
the overlay lacks an in game score and the ship models looks very undone - I hope they make them look better - atm it's just a piece of wood with a sail...
this was so entertaining
G'day from South Oz.
hashtag has to be #releasethekraken
#addthekraken @ageofempires
They should add a Kraken just like a sandworm in Dune RTS games
I like the scale. Buildings look like ppl can actually fit in them now
allow veto on islands pls
its looks very.... meh
How are they playing this it's not out till the end of October
You mean #ReleaseTheKraken
Nothing better than water maps. dont care if it is unpopular
You are obviouslt the best caster down under and upper to be honestly
Hi Twitch Chat ;)
Aoe 2 with Aoe 3 ship combat. Relic is doing a fine job.
TECHNICAL STRESS TEST
Are these pre recorded? If not how do people still play the stress test?
#addakraken
Hopefully #addthekraken inspires them to do Age of Mythology 2
What are effective ways to destroy warships when you get pinned down on your island?
I don’t know this for certain but I would try siege units.
Towers with the upgrades researched, canons and siege weapons.
Ideally you don't want to get to that point though otherwise its really hard to comeback from it
A wall of 3 or 4 trebuchets is so effective way because they can shot from far distance than any war ship :)
@@ness_cjr Do trebs have longer range than cannons / bombards?
@@ArawnOfAnnwn yes! Treb have the longer range
Baghlah means female mule in arabic by the way

Hi
Love those casts by You, awesome to watch. Hoper for more AoE4 cast content :)
Can i play aoe 4 now? Somehow?
My far biggest issue with the game is then narrow FOV, you cannot zoom out well enough like you can in Anno 1800 for example. I get the the original games had also a narrow FOV but we are in 2021 now with wide and ultrawide monitors here, cannot believe they have not focused on that aspect of it.
theres a difference between "Can you do it" and do you "want to do it" ...
Id also agree with like a 10-20% zoom out, but a zoom out like in anno would hinder a lot of the aspect of the game where you have to naviagate between different skirmishes and surprising and raiding your enemy. That is way easier to avoid, when you can see your entire base in the early game
@@SurinamElephant That is my point, I want to see a bigger part of my base to have a better overview of my base. I have an ultrawide monitor but cannot utilize its capabilities to its full extent.
@@Hopkins955 yeah but youre not supposed to !
#LetsGetKraken would work best.
YES PLEASE RELEASE THE KRAKEN!!!
I can see this getting really repetitive.
Been Enjoying watching the games Drongo thanks!
Any thoughts on the water itself and the boats' motion / animations / sizes?
Nameless291 Hi
hi namelss291
Release The Kraken!!!!
Why the heck are the ships just healing being near the docks. How tf would that work?
Ships have to go into dock to repair irl
@@VineFynn lol rly? I thought fishing docks used goat sacrifices irl as fuel to invoke the god of wood for ship repairs. learn something every day
whoa just hold a second: are the arrow ships still shooting while moving at min 9:25 ? no way! i didn't see it until now! i mean, i know from the trailers that mongol horse archers can do that, but i didn't expect it from ships! i find it so cool!
Can't wait to pull up with my aggressive starcraft style to these unsuspecting macro focused aoe players. Discovering and doing new timings attacks is in my opinion the superior way to play rts.
How are people playing this game when it comes out in a month?
Technical stress test, AKA a closed beta
@@DatFluffyMonkey More like open beta. Anyone could play, and it was public.
@@ArawnOfAnnwn My mistake. Thought it was the same deal as their closed beta a couple months ago
I felt like water maps were absolute cancer. They weren't fun in any of the matches I played. If it were up to me, I'd make water maps about 50% larger than land maps with similar players, but also make individual ships much, MUCH stronger. Give them actual turning radiuses and some acceleration and deceleration so you have to manage them more. Instead, it's just mass warships and you win.
Well glad it isnt up to you then, warship massing really happens only in new player games or teamgames. In team games the win with wonder is the better option on sea maps and on 1v1 the sacres sites as in this video.
Dont let them mass warships from begin with.
Hut really learned the water map meta after his lose vs Zerton: th-cam.com/video/9R_1YVaMPT8/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=Aussie_Drongo
He won the water then quickly fortified the sacred sites. I really liked his strategy this time.
And a few Hull are much better than lots of archer boats
I think water maps are trash, so boring
They are getting paid to write good comments about the game. You just told the truth
@@tylerdurdenstronghltv8565 hahaha good one
AoE III has the best sea fights , those ships are firing plastic arrows.(?)
AOE3 sea is fucking dog lmao
Man, this game looks awful
lol
The ship design is not so great... especially in the first age, it's so empty and lifeless. Hope they will change it
Imagine little dudes on it - and a boarding mechanism... Like to capture enemies ships : like a conversion
@@benjaminlquinlan8702 Yes, it's small details but it help to make a more immersive battle i think.
How do you know he was rank 4 in closed beta? Any way to see the rankings?
He is the Drongo. He just knows.
