when it comes to the army units counter triangle I like to think of it in terms of armour group beats trash group, trash group beats anti armour group which circles back to beating the armour group. so Armour> trash > anti armour> armour. Armour group is knight maa with archers as support. Trash group is archer horsemen spear. And the anti armour group is knight crossbow spear. Apply weight to maa in the armour group, archers in the trash group and crossbow in the anti armour group. Mangos are interchangeable with horsemen, hand cannoneers are interchangeable with crossbow.
Great tips, thanks for sharing. Re: #3 Stone gathering. It's worth noting that Japanese will gather stone early to get the Daimyo upgrade and that Abbasid only needs 227 stone for a second TC with the Eco wing. Rather than checking how many are actively mining stone simply click on the stone pile to see how much as been gathered. If you show up and it's not being actively worked that doesn't mean there isn't a second TC coming.
The harass this resource part was pretty cool. I just want to chime in and extend it, saying after the initial harassment there's a few civs that will usually expand out on the map for their next resources. For example, French and Rus usually go for food resources on the map, so keep an eye on those and try to deny those second (i.e. in feudal and castle mid game). English expands to their next gold patches so keep an eye there and try to deny when they move out to it.
Love the video ! Just wanted to say that for me wheelbarrow is the most important technology to do first for English and then the double axe but that’s just my opinion !
Wheelbarrow is so good it's true. Why do you think it's first place? I feel like early game you don't move around much because sheep under TC and close lumber camp to wood.
One thing I was proud of was that my opponent went Meinwerk instead of Aachen, so I knew that almost certainly meant Burgrave instead of Reignitz. Also, something like interactive Build Orders to practice in game would be super cool.
For #3 people do get stone for tower upgrade, but it's usually just ~50-100 stone. What you have to look out for is 350 stone for a 2nd TC. Byz is an exception since they need stone for cisterns. And Abbasid on eco wing only needs 227 stone for TC Oh and Mali can get TC with gold now
To me, the biggest problem is seeing or feeling how well my harras works. In many games, when I try to rush and harras, I feel that it just doesn't affect the enemy; he ignores it and has more everything than me. In this case, I don't know what I did wrong, and it is frustrating.
Yes, I know the feeling you describe. There are much better players than me who can help you, but my opinion is you must be getting value out of your harassment by sucessfully stopping workers from collecting but not dying yourself - and then, importantly, you must also be supporting your own macro at home. There is no point harassing if you are not making workers yourself - both are losing here. Also if you are only going for 1TC then you must have a plan to end the game soon or they will eventually overtake you in economy.
In case you want to have them up on your second screen while you play, the images I used in the video are in my Discord 'aoe4-media' channel.
mate you are an asset to the community. You bring a lot of infectious energy to the table. Great stuff. Hope you keep making vids.

That's really nice to read, thank you so much.
Armour - trash - anti armour is an interesting way of looking at it!

Oh nice, great advice!
Ottomans go on stone early for miltitary schools as well.

@5:10 one exception is sometimes Japanese go arrive to upgrade TC to daimyo Manor for bannerman (basically early knight)
Oh okay cool, thanks for the info

@ true but wheelbarrow affects all the villagers so that’s why for me it’s priority number one also it’s strong early for basically every civ !
Good points for new players. Good job
Thank you!

Well done!! Haha
Thanks bro
You're welcome!
Really enjoyed the video👏
So glad!

fr now you should record these videos on a normal land maps, it makes it much easier to relate and present
Yeah the map choice was poor, sorry. Hopefully my point still comes across.

Letsgo! New vid 😍
Let's play soon, this weekend maybe?
@Skillionaire005 Sure! Im free all week otherwise, I have a break from school
Id say most civs going for naked fast castle would get 50 stone for arrow slits on tower
Maybe! I haven't seen it much myself but I'm still new
