Really appreciate it Drongo, been educating myself with this build order for a few days now and already went a rank up, almost hitting plat now thanks dude!
Australian/NZ are born commentators and naturally funny. You've got Aussie Drongo on AoE gameplay, Podcast Cringe on podcasts, RattlesnakeTV on politics. Steve Irwin who educated a generation on animals. Brodie Moss. Hilarious news reporter Karl Stefanovic. YouFishTV anyone? Who am I missing here??
I dont get it I get the mass of units, but my zhugenu always loses in a straight up battle vs horse/archer OR vs ayubids vs their OP man at arms. I am SC2 Master league player btw, I hit the timings, but... The Zhugenu deal absolutely no damage vs armored units. I dont get whats the point of massing just them? The only success I had using zhugenu is having 3 separate control groups, attacking ASAP and killing villagers on the outskirts vs non cavalry civs while getting my own horses up and castle age. (Essentialy just trying to buy time and delaying their castle vs my castle age). However I feel RUS is much stronger than Zhu Xi atm. and that its overhyped.
It's because the Zhuge do a minimum of 3 damage so when you reach a critical mass even armored units will be picked off from focus fire while you kite backwards or die while tied down by spears.
Anyone that is good at scouting is going to see what you are doing and send someone to idle your Med Gardens and mass heavy units and/or horsemen to deal with the Zukes. There is a counter to every strategy. IMO this works best on smaller maps where you can get back to the safety of your base if you run into a mass of horses or heavy units.
Hi drongo, Just a question. At the start of your video how are you building the meditation gardens AND the jiangnan tower at the same time??? I cant get close to that timing always 10 seconds off. And I just rewatched it seeing that some how your building meditation garden still while building the tower??? That does not become availible to me until after the garden has finished? a explanation would be great cheers mate.
Hey drongo, I still find myself going fast castle in some matchups just because it's fun and I like the monks but I have noticed that I tend to lose these games and I win way more with just going 2 TC song. Is there any matchup where the fast castle is viable? Or like in which circumstances is it good?
@@yz8520 Yeah and at the end he actually says it would be good against the english because longbows are the counter against Zhuge Nu. Also I think against byzantines it can be good because they can also get longbows.
how do i share replay for you to watch? i started aoe late December last year and have been having fun (-having to fight OP JD and ZL) climbing rank i had match VS plat mongol that had me cornered the entire match i wanted to know why he quit
with this build order, how to play against FC Japanese or Ayubbish? I always find it difficult to deal with castle age knight when these 2 civs FC. They just camp in my base and kill my vils
Generally getting sick I find is more to do with stress, diet, lack of sleep. Sometimes it's the disrupted sleep that's the worst one with small children. But dairy kills me too personally
OKAY... SO FOR THE BEST STRATS WHAT YA DO IS YOU SIT THERE AND YOU WATCH HOURS AND HOURS OF DRONGO VIDEOS. YOU BEG HIM TO DO MORE OUTBACK OCTOGONS. AND THEN YOU THANK HIM FOR ALL THE TIME WE HAVE SHARED AND FOR ALL THE LAUGHS AND ALL THE TIME HE HAS PUT INTO AGE OF EMPIRES. THATS REALLY IMPORTANT FOR THE BEST POSSIBLE OUTCOME!! I SPIT VENOM LIKE THEVIPER BABY. BLESSINGS TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY. I WISH YOU BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE ALL THE HEALTH AND HAPPINESS AND HOPE YOU ALL ARE DOING GOOD. AND TELL DA MUSLIM TO CHANGE HIS NAME BACK. TELL ALL THE PLAYERS I LOVED WATCHING.. WHO KNEW IT WOULD BE A LOCAL EY??!! HAHAHAH. SEE YA SOON YA SEXY DRONGO YOU.
hey drongo, are we gonna see u on twitch again? miss the streams

Viper played again yesterday. All good games but the ottomans vs ayyubids is superb, turned into a base race!

“Ozzy man”
Poor Drongo man, feel your pain, feel like I have been sick since bloody christmas!
"Such is life with little ones". hahaha I know exactly what you mean. Greetings from The Netherlands
Need to have wheelbarrow faster, and building two houses is wood inefficient. You get to archery ranges faster if you use the villages earlier.
Guessing this'll need an update.
they really made the chinese and zhu xi for the zerg macro gods
Constant sickness, oh the joys of having children in daycare! I can relate they have gone to daycare two days in 2024 😅
Wy drongo, wy you show a good build from the best civ atm to all the players put there, ootd is there to 😅
Love these guides!
thx, love this faction even if its one of the weaker ones
Pretty unanimously agreed that xushi is the strongest atm
My mans.. you need to look up tier lists.. almost all of them have this civ at the very top..
Not me replaying the video 10 times

NVM figured it out. You have to push T for early access as it is not on the bar until med goes down but u can still build it earlier. Ty ty for video.
is this still viable post patch

Probably against fc civs like hre

@@caspuchiha Byzantines longbows production is delayed and lower. So not so much an issue with them.

Make Barracks instead
"a Juicy Legacy Guide" LOL
Please play some bar sometimes for us giga chads who play both aoe4 and BAR!
Lol Jesus Christ the other 15 civs don’t even stand a chance vs this
Hey Drongo, love your videos. I hope OO3 is being cooked ❤

Drongbro, we need yoy healthy. Please supplement some vit d3 + k2, zinc, and plenty of protein to boost that immunity
This is why we can't have nice things.
I haven't seen any other build orders from you, so i had to cheat on you :(
Drongo, why would you destroy the ladder like this?

2 catapults and your archers are gone..
Besides that great video.
good luck getting to two mangos when the first ZGN show up at the 7:30 mark.
7 ??? very late, Im there at 5 @@Zaibusaand this bulid will lose 100% even to a lame zhu rush.
To get the mangonels you need to be in Castle. At 10 mins you can have 50 Zukes on the field. Good luck dealing with that if you're going fast castle.
#2 like.

Why? Why do you encourage them?
...why promote this Zhu xi bs. It needs a hotfix
Nerf this nonsense. What a dumb variant concept.
If it's so strong, then play it to your advantage?
