You've got to love the Drongo Academy for AoE3 Cadets. I think I joined this channel when it had like three or four videos out and less than a hundred followers. Hard to believe it's hit a hundred videos now and is approaching 12,000 followers already.
my control group main differences. I have military buildings on "Find all Barracks" and "find all stable" on a letter instead of a control group. Saves having to faf with tab through buildings. I still use find individual Town center but then use select all hotkey if i wanted to select all town center. secondary reason i do that is that i like to snap back to my home town if i wanted to see something which the specific hotkey Find all TC's cant do.
I noticed when you were explaining how the game chooses the order of the 3 military buildings, it prioritizes them by alphabetical order. Artillery Foundry, Barracks, Stable.
Nice to see such videos, im top100 and i learnt stuff!! Small note though, there is a hotkey to select all towncenters. So u don't have to do ctrl 5 to group tcs, u just press 5 directly :)
About the groups, I always do 1-infantry 2-artillery 3-cav 4-barracks/war huts etc 5-stables 6-art foundry/castles/special militaries 7-tc 8-docks/special building 9-ships/whatever
By far the Best aoe3 youtuber 😄😄😄 and an excelent teacher as well Cheers and Thanks for all the great advice (actually been here with you since your first vídeo on october)
Couple more tips. If you're under attack and doing this army pop of for example mm, caroleans and huss, dont be afraid to pop your vills out of tc too. They can soak a lot and that can win a fight, especially vs musk/jans or smth that want to melee the cav but dont do much dmg in melee vs vills. Second, this find all of selected type that you can use to delete pillar walls, I basically use that a billion times a game. If I have 10 skirms on a control group and I just trained 5, I press space (my find all of selected type) and now I hace 15, I add it to my control group straight away, helps a lot. Lastly in terms of hotkeys, I think you need to figure out what you want to add and what you dont. For example I put my market on 4, aussie uses ctrl w, this saves him 1 slot. Some people just use find rax/find stable/find tc etc to have less control groups. Personally I think using find explorer hotkey (default /) is better than putting him in a group
Great video, i am definitely going to try the dragbox technique. I think it could be very usefull for when cav is coming for your canons at the back, do a quick switcheroo.
Hey there Aussie drongo. Congrats on your 100 vid. I am your dead fan. I too have aoe 3 de. And I am sure that we'll meet in one game. My aoe 3 de profile name is stolenkitten11
Something like: Select larger group of units -> holding shift select smaller group of units -> tell the units collectively to move past BOTH sets of units
I’ve been watching your videos and it’s been truly very helpful ❤. I’m not a competitive player, although myself and my friends take up LAN matches often😆 I have this friend who always wins with the Ottomans. I just wanted to know what the best strategy against the ottomans would be. Note: He doesn’t rush, but turtles most of the time.
Great video dude . I suggest adding an something to the title or thumbnail that it's a aoe video cuz I just assumed its aoe because lately I started watching aoe vids .Almost just swiped passed the vid
so i am guessing the hotkey for selecting all of a type is not the same thing as double clicking the troop or building? when i want to train 5x musks for example from both my barracks' i double click it and do it like that.... however that is the workflow i have always used since i started playing AOE3LE, i haven't tried DE yet myself.
Mega amazing content! I needed help with the control groups. Although it sounds simple, I still can't control more than 3 units at a time. For instance, if I have Musks, Cav, Artilery and Goons, it gets hard for my mind to know which control groups they are. This video helped me a lot though. Thanks Drongo
The OC historian in me lost his shit over the pillar less walls because I play as China, and to lose my Han style pillars, unacceptable. Their artistic value is needed, I say to myself, as I play a RTS that isn't about art...
I think that's what works best. I see 90% of top players using the sharp on the 2nd or 3rd guardian to bail out if the enemy hero is spotted. Or that's my guess.
Aren't there command more important than delete that should get the prime real-estate of the mouse button? I mostly get select all units buy I prefer find idle villager and select all military unites. Feel like I need access to that more frequently than delete which I don't use often.
Understandable, and not stupid at all! Control + number (while selecting the units you want to put in a control group) Then can go back to it by pressing the relevant number.
Very hard at the moment, you have to scout their strategy and prepare against it, if they are going tori gates, then playing defensive and safe, if they are playing toshogu shrine, aggressive and map control
Pull tricking depends on the type and number of units, as well as the distance. For example, 4 cav will pull 3 forest prowlers, but not more. For 6 FPs you need 8 cav. Since I've been mostly playing hudenaise lately I tested it with them, but I'm sure it's the same for other civs. And they will only pull them if the target destination is relatively near, but then you can let the cav run forward a bit and then pull again, you can essentially pull infantry or artillery through the entire map like this with cav. Explorers like running so they will always be pulled even by one unit.
Or actually, maybe it has nothing to do with unit type, and you just need more units pulling than being pulled, with the exception of explorers that can be pulled by a single unit.
I need to hear more opinions on this. Nice expose here. I need to hear more opinions. It's really need with villagers exposed while foraging. I see them run once every 20 tries.

Meta is literally just abusing bad coding.
Started watching you when I bought DE. Now I watch your videos more than I even play..
Congrats on 100 uploads Aussie! Been watching since the very start and love your content :-)
Probably the military building are arranged alphabeticaly? :-D
What I learned from this video, killing your idle vils is the best way to have everyone working

congrats on 100 videos, best aoe3 youtuber by far right now
Hugely informative video bro, this is exactly what I've been looking for, thankyou so much!
All that info is so good, thanks man😊
About the groups, I always do
1-infantry
2-artillery
3-cav
4-barracks/war huts etc
5-stables
6-art foundry/castles/special militaries
7-tc
8-docks/special building
9-ships/whatever
HA HA HAHA YOUR AWESOME Aussie (that truck lol)thank you for all your tips & tricks
By far the Best aoe3 youtuber 😄😄😄 and an excelent teacher as well
Cheers and Thanks for all the great advice (actually been here with you since your first vídeo on october)
Such high-quality content! Thank you for this, now off to see which of them applies to the classic asian dynasty
Thanks for the video and explanation of how building the walls that way.

how to delete pillar from building the wall? I tried to press delete, then it destroy all wall :(
why dont you record videos widescreen anymore? That was so nice
We had a poll on discord, 82% of people preferred 1920x1080 vs 18% who wanted 3440x1440. The world isn't ready for widescreen yet :(
@@AussieDrongo *_Sad Ultrawide noises_*
Feels like it was yesterday when I first started watching your "6 Insane New Incan Mechanincs" video ( it was the first one I saw)
I don't know if my previous attempt at a comment went through, but why are wall pillars not just removed from the game? do they add anything?
Great video, i am definitely going to try the dragbox technique. I think it could be very usefull for when cav is coming for your canons at the back, do a quick switcheroo.
I'm fairly new to age of empires so I had never seen those cheats used so when you pulled out that monster truck I actually shit myself 🤣🤣🤣
Hey there Aussie drongo. Congrats on your 100 vid. I am your dead fan. I too have aoe 3 de. And I am sure that we'll meet in one game. My aoe 3 de profile name is stolenkitten11
N is another hotkey for buildings that garrison villagers. It releases all of ur vills at once so u dont have to spam g.
Thanks for the Tipps :)
The star* on the keyboard finds the explorer, so you don 't really need a group for it imo ***********
Been trying to follow your instructions with my Lakota Warchief and it isn't working. Plz rexplain.
Something like: Select larger group of units -> holding shift select smaller group of units -> tell the units collectively to move past BOTH sets of units
I was referring to the treasure trick :p
Also, grats on the 💯💯💯
Maybe noob question but how do you stop the villager from starting to build the wall while you are laying the pre fabs

Great point mate, I've added something to the title!
is playing against AI a good way to get better before playing 1v1s?
Love the video!!! Super helpful! Keep it up. Thanks
Wonderfulll!!!! thx alot pal
I've been with you pretty much since the beginning. You're what convinced me to try AoE3.
@@kingstarscream3807 ig. But I honestly like both games a lot, and play them regularly
Your math is wrong because it still takes time to get them through the TC.
Love you Aussie. Please never stop making videos
Did the pull trick get nefed. I cant seem to do it after the Us update
Nice video, help a lot Thanks a lot! :)

This game is more real time tactics than real time strategy
The OC historian in me lost his shit over the pillar less walls because I play as China, and to lose my Han style pillars, unacceptable. Their artistic value is needed, I say to myself, as I play a RTS that isn't about art...
This is a fantastic video, Drongo! I'll definitely be practicing some of these tips, especially the treasure guardian micro.
Well... I waited for the cav box. :D :D :D It looks more like meta is to mess with exploits. :/
The trasure guardians will reset/attack if they get stuck/bugged/hit the edge of the map/ram a building
hi Aussi, I wonder why you you need to type "tab" in order to produce carolees in your exemple. (4 -tab-e)
To go from artillery foundry -> barracks
@@AussieDrongo but why you don't simply type tab directly ? no need to select the all group before ? Ok just ask , maybe I am missiing something lol
I lead with sharpshooter. That way it's replenishing sooner, and that's the shot you use to aggro the other guardian/s.
I think that's what works best. I see 90% of top players using the sharp on the 2nd or 3rd guardian to bail out if the enemy hero is spotted. Or that's my guess.
Shift-Ctrl-F2🤣🤣🤣
cool
pogU tips and tricks
tnx man
Aren't there command more important than delete that should get the prime real-estate of the mouse button? I mostly get select all units buy I prefer find idle villager and select all military unites. Feel like I need access to that more frequently than delete which I don't use often.
I use ` for idle villager, but I think its important to have these keys in a very close space as they are used many times in a game.
Grats on 100. Love seeing the high tier gameplay.
these videos are good for the comunity in my opinion
I have stupid question, how do you active set up control groups?
Understandable, and not stupid at all! Control + number (while selecting the units you want to put in a control group) Then can go back to it by pressing the relevant number.
how to win against japanese ?
Very hard at the moment, you have to scout their strategy and prepare against it, if they are going tori gates, then playing defensive and safe, if they are playing toshogu shrine, aggressive and map control
What mod gives you the hot key showing in the buildings
