Technology upgrades on the lumber mill etc? I dont see mention of that in the english section. When does it pay off to upgrade the lumber/gold/mills for various technology
@@scubaman2003 yeah most good games are free on the internet. i try before i buy. if a game sucks i dont play it and i delete it. if its good like elden ring i buy it. i put 100 some hours in before i bought it. fitgirl if you have a PC
Have been playing this since it came out ran through the campaign with in the 2 days and now I’ve been doing nothing but playing AI practicing and then turning around and playing online matches against players to see how well I was timing everything. Watching these videos allowed me to see the little details I was doing wrong. But also showed me what I was doing right as well and makes me feel good. Super huge fan of RTS games especially the AOE series
Something to never forget is scouting your enemy in dark age and early feudal. You want to know the units you're going into ASAP so not to invest in the wrong units and techs to deal with what your enemy is doing.
Pro Strat for the Rus, you could spread the additional scouts to collect and hunt the animals that are closer in the enemies realm first and harm their food production and get an early edge when going this way instead of the circle or spiral spread and go back to your own a bit afterwards and only have one or two sheep at a time to keep the gathering going. You may have to adjust when going against them too.
For HRE make a preelate to start you'll make that gold back in like 30 seconds and age up at the same time or quicker while have a 40% gather boost, also have him rotate to food or lumber as the buff lasts quite a while. 1 prelate can buff 10 civs before he can't keep up with buffing to buff fall off ratio.
In the actual HRE guide I made, I instructed people to go with the prelate from the beginning. I wanted this guide to be more of a basic, easy to jump into if you're new type of guide and I probably should have said that in the video. I'm so sorry if that confused or misinformed any brother!
@@italianspartacus haha I was recommended you other video not long after! It was no hate I just wanted to let others know if they did run across. I've been subbed on my other account back when I first saw you make warband videos, love the content.
Idk how I wasn't subbed before your crusader kings videos helped me out a lot as well as informing me more about world history than any schooling I've ever had. Commenting for the algorithm, too!
I love the cinematics the game has of battles with the troops all in formation and the signal flares going off etc. Meanwhile, I never see a single ball of archers in any of the clips.
With Abbasid, if you practice their opening, you can perfectly time a few nice plays early. House of Worship makes the push to II trickier than other factions. So 1. HoW before lumber mill (the 400f 200g wing cost will be in reach by the time it's built), then once you click Econ Wing to II... 2. Pull vills for mass wood, and replenish food with new vills or a few micro peels, by the time the wing is done (and they do take a while) you can get to 150+ wood and place an archery range on the exact second you actually hit II. 3. Then pull vills for food and go heavy food and wood 4. Go CA, CA (cost:180f 60 w./per) They can harass really well until you make more units, or make a stable. This build order gives the the option of early pressure, or a better defense from early pressure, rather than building HoW after mill. Also, 4 horseman, 2CA is a nice harasser squad for gimping enemy's gold or challenging early archer squad. (total cost: 760f 200w)
Useful Tips for the Mongols is that you can use Ports as Trading Hub for your land trade donkey too currently and because they're highly mobile having the trade come in a odd long stretch along the edge of the map can slowly have an early secure trade route and you could use your khan and scouts to snipe the enemy animals or snatch a few sheep. If you're going against Abbassids and the Delhi Sultanate that means their boar is haram, so they cannot hunt it for food so they either have to just kill it off or you can use advantage of theirs instead.
something cool about the chines to defend or attack you don't need to build lots of militery building just one of each type you need and add empireal offical to it add you boost your unit production 200% as if you have 3 buildings
I think you made a mistake with supply block Its best to have the 9th villager come out to make a house since in AOE4 the next villager still gets produced and you have 3-5 seconds of lee way at 10/10 population villager 20 seconds house 15 seconds
You're absolutely correct! I said 8th to create a margin of error for anyone new to the game that isn't ready for intense timing. I think I said it in the video but I should have communicated that 9 is the ideal number, but 8 is a good place to start to get in the habit
tonight because its badass, been playing rts my whole life! and although we shouldve had a game like this a decade ago… its here right now and nothing is taking its place for probably another ten years ❤️
on Delhi, I highly recommend building a mill later. Use max wood at all times. Start with 7 on mill 1 on MOSQUE. Getting a mosque asap is key so you can research Sanctity and start capping sacred sites
Me talking to my friend: "Man I've been vsing the hard AI a lot but I keep getting kurb stomped the second I play against people" Friend: "Do you know your build order?" Me: "Build order?" (I'm now watching this video)
A very strong build order with English is to not create any extra archery range but get one-two racks and pump spearmen. Obviously you keep producing archers but the idea is that if you keep a few villagers on gold you can make a blacksmith and your spearmen can build a battering ram. Do not underestimate how strong this unit is early game and you can easily destroy some important buildings from your opponents and even if you don’t get to a building it takes soooo much damage to destroy in the early game it’s a cheap tank for hp.
In my opinion playing as HRE and going for prelate 1st is better as the buff that he gives to workers, never ends. Even though they don't have it, they are still gathering 40% more resources. Not sure if that's a bug or not, but that's how it is.
Thanks for showing this, I was wondering what to do as build order with RUS and MONGOL the rest was quite known to me. I did miss the time in-game though. in those build orders since they are quite important to me.
I usually do 2 gold+mining camp, 2 wood+lumber yard, 2 sheep+ rally all villagers o sheep until age 2. I think at about the 2nd villager produced, that one will make a house. Also, when I get my first 50 wood, I make a mill & spend it on the meat gathering upgrade. This make its so I'm usually the first or second in a game to progress to age 2. AS the English, this also give me wood for archers & gold for economy upgrades the moment I progress to age 2.
Chinese could be a high villager powerhouse and I think having farms early can have a bit of a slight advantage if you force drop their ressources as they are making rice farms instead of wheat so their gathering rate is slightly different. You can atleast have 3 main strategies I think, depending on what you're up against. Fast Castle is on the board as you described, you may have to go full turtle even or you can have advanced villager boom if you're either not getting early harassment or have some success to repell that. Going for the Tax Collectors early had given you a high surplus of gold that either means you can be slower on gathering from the mining camp and rather focus more on wood and farms or deer or berries. If you've a higher count on villagers has a higher success chance for boar which means even more food faster. So I think there's some versatility in the long run.
Aoe4 is my first RTS game I actually researched and was very interested in. I played halo wars but I never cared for halo wars. I guess the real world history is more interesting
Wouldn't you ideally be using the 8th Villager (second vil out) to build the house rather than 7th(first vil out)? You won't be supply blocked/housed because the TC still produces the full next villager before it would stop it. The house would finish with plenty of time before it prevents any progress on villager production
Ideally, absolutely. I wanted to build some "margin for error" for anyone looking for just a basic build guide so that , while they're learning, they don't get supply blocked because they weren't super quick on grabbing the 8th villager!
Every guide i watch no matter what game it is, the content creators always seem to get a lucky start and makes following the guide hard because i am never that lucky
Many people are too scared of being destroyed early. But in fact that’s not gonna happen if you have any kind of „plan“ which is logical somehow. Just don’t mess up anything too bad 😅 the game will be decided in the mid game
The Delhi build is totally wrong, as don't need wood to reach the second age you should avoid at all chopping wood until you have bought the II age. Just after it you can recruit villagers to gather wood but not before it.
I have this bug where sometimes when i press MMB to drag pan the camera, the camera jumps to the location of the mouse. Its super fucking annoying and I havent seen anyone else talk about it. Does this happen to anyone else here?
Double TC on age2 (look for a build guide) and build lot's of cheap units in age3 and don't spend resources on upgrades make the army first then upgrade them as they are on route to your opponent and they get stronger as you fight. Unless you get age2 rushed this wins all games in low-mid elo
Actually, the French Knights - let's use agincourt as our example - did not have their armor pierced by long bows. It's a common misconception. There's a lot of really awesome videos showing that armor not only protected against arrows but also gun shots with the help of a second breastplate layer. It's fascinating! What the English used was a Billhook. You use the hook end to pull a knight off it's horse or tear off armor, then the Bill end to slash into their exposed body parts. The bill portion is very thin and sharp, allowing it to get in between armor plates if need be
It seems the AI does a few attacks early and then totally stops and only starts to build more once you have destroyed half their empire(and then it's too late). I'm getting tired of taking a few hours to build a great defense only too have the AI be idle for much of that time.
With HRE you do actually want to get the prelate as the very first thing you build, 40% increase is defiantly worth it and I find myself getting faster age 2 than all of my opponents no matter what they play when I'm HRE. All the HRE players I've seen also do this. 100% worth it. The age 1 build I use is: 6 workers on sheep, prelate first. First worker that's made be rallied towards gold, that worker builds a house when it comes out of the town center. After the house is done send it to build the mining camp. The second villager goes to mining gold, and all villagers after him do the same till you have enough to age up. At around this point you want to send the prelate towards the gold to inspire gold villagers, sometimes sending it back to food as well. Once you have enough gold to age up, use the villagers on gold to make the landmark of choice but leave 1 or 2 on gold still, to save up gold for a second prelate. (Make sure to return any gold the villagers might be carrying to the mining camp before you send them to construct the landmark) When its producing, rally new villagers to gather wood, and the villagers constructing the landmark also gather wood when they finish, so you can make the next house. Depending on how aggressive you want to be, decide carefully as to when you want to send the villagers on wood back on gold or food. If you wish to age to castle asap, after you have enough wood for a house leave 2 or 3 villagers on wood for houses and send the rest back to gold mining with new villagers on food. If you want to be more aggressive, keep the villagers on wood for as long as nessicary so you can make the structures needed to produce your units of choice (keep them there indefinitely if you're gonna make battering rams)
Relic didn't have this in CoH2 either, there's no change made since then but I agree the Ensemble Studios Vibes really lacks without proper Colours you'd expect.
It’s actually more efficient to send villager to move closest sheep as close as base as possible and kill it ASAP with villagers then produce villagers group base while you produce villagers click on scoot then click on map to where you wanna go. After that you want to rally it on the sheep and make sure there is a blue flag while your scoot still moving move sheep’s as close as base as possible to the base and the sheep you are harvesting so that your villagers can kill it and gather without losing time in travel time. Early game economy really matters a lot as a slight inefficiency has quite some impact to the mid/late game and good bases matters a lot. I know it’s min maxing but sometimes having 1 extra unit earlier or be able to make wall few sec earlier can change the course of the game. Edit : ha you said it’s not the not min-max haha sorry 😅 Yeah the general idea is fine
Also for sheep you want to bring back your scoot with sheep before you run out of sheep food so that you can best income possible. Before switching to berries
My biggest doubt is still the attack of troops, it seems basic but, I feel that I'm not efficient, my troops focus only on one troop and they are running around them lol
aoe is basically a very complicated rock paper scissors, you should always have a balance of troop types to counter what you need, if your civ specializes on lets say heavy infantry or ranged then make sur to keep a good number of cavalry to counter more ranged specialized civs or make more spearmen to counter cav heavy troops, unless ur the english then just go ham with the longbowmen and spam that
Hey can you help me make my own civilization without it deleting and it saving I really wanna build stuff and evolve but i don’t know where to start a civilization and choose my own thing I wanna save and choose Rome or English please help
I played the game against highest AI throughout the campaign and skirmish. I liked the campaigns a lot, absolutely great storylines. But...the intelligence of this AI is just poor as shit. Truly shit. No difficulty whatsoever and I’m a bit saddened by that. The other downside is the lack of divers country’s to choose from, hope they add some more. Online play is ok I think, eventhough im bad at it. If they add some more content and fix AI it’s worth the money, otherwise...maybe play it on Xbox game pass? 2 and 3 are just better in my opinion.

Thanks so much man, im trying to improve and this video helpe me a lot!
Starcraft "supply blocked" = age of empires "housed".
You should always make the prelate as the first thing in game. Atleast thats what every pro and every guide says
Aoe4 is my first RTS game I actually researched and was very interested in. I played halo wars but I never cared for halo wars. I guess the real world history is more interesting
Wouldn't you ideally be using the 8th Villager (second vil out) to build the house rather than 7th(first vil out)?

Optimal is to build it with the 9th but that's kinda stretching it for minimal gains
Thanks for this very helpful video for new player like me

Many people are too scared of being destroyed early. But in fact that’s not gonna happen if you have any kind of „plan“ which is logical somehow. Just don’t mess up anything too bad 😅 the game will be decided in the mid game
Is there a build order chart at all that could accompany this? Thanks for the video!
The Delhi build is totally wrong, as don't need wood to reach the second age you should avoid at all chopping wood until you have bought the II age. Just after it you can recruit villagers to gather wood but not before it.
This is really helpful for the newbs
It is correct to say prĕl′ĭt. Not pre-late.

I really need help on how to build a big army quickly.
Multiple military buildings!! :) build 2-4 in the second age, then add to that at a rate of 2-3 buildings per age depending on demand

Nice video!
gr8 work
thanks
I figured all this stuff out myself but somehow I still can’t beat the AI on hard 😭
Same here. First 3 difficulties I can sweep the A.I but the hardest? They always manage to rush me and it goes on until I almost pull my hair out. 😅
Can i build Smth without clicking on villager ,and after send villager to build it?

Actually, the French Knights - let's use agincourt as our example - did not have their armor pierced by long bows. It's a common misconception.

Who else is Mongol gang? I love how different they are as it makes my age1 so spicy when playing with friends lol.
Great tips and u r Very funny
Does the game have option to spectate ai vs ai matches? I wish all games have that option. I like to watch bot civs fight epic battles by themselves..
I've never checked! But I'd assume so??
It seems the AI does a few attacks early and then totally stops and only starts to build more once you have destroyed half their empire(and then it's too late).
I'm getting tired of taking a few hours to build a great defense only too have the AI be idle for much of that time.
You sound like Sal Khan from Khan Academy...
With HRE you do actually want to get the prelate as the very first thing you build, 40% increase is defiantly worth it and I find myself getting faster age 2 than all of my opponents no matter what they play when I'm HRE.
All the HRE players I've seen also do this. 100% worth it.
The age 1 build I use is:
6 workers on sheep, prelate first.
First worker that's made be rallied towards gold, that worker builds a house when it comes out of the town center.
After the house is done send it to build the mining camp.
The second villager goes to mining gold, and all villagers after him do the same till you have enough to age up.
At around this point you want to send the prelate towards the gold to inspire gold villagers, sometimes sending it back to food as well.
Once you have enough gold to age up, use the villagers on gold to make the landmark of choice but leave 1 or 2 on gold still, to save up gold for a second prelate. (Make sure to return any gold the villagers might be carrying to the mining camp before you send them to construct the landmark)
When its producing, rally new villagers to gather wood, and the villagers constructing the landmark also gather wood when they finish, so you can make the next house.
Depending on how aggressive you want to be, decide carefully as to when you want to send the villagers on wood back on gold or food.
If you wish to age to castle asap, after you have enough wood for a house leave 2 or 3 villagers on wood for houses and send the rest back to gold mining with new villagers on food.
If you want to be more aggressive, keep the villagers on wood for as long as nessicary so you can make the structures needed to produce your units of choice (keep them there indefinitely if you're gonna make battering rams)
What does it mean to make something the center?
4 on gold? Seems a bit much I normally run 2 and generally hit a 4 min feudal. I go 8, 2, 2 normally.
It might be because I mainly play factions that need that gold, so I'm so used to it. Let me experiment with 8/2/2 :)
@@italianspartacus And I'll give 4 gold a try! Normally it's super tight with 2 and realistically you'll need the gold for upgrades anyways
NOICE!
You don't explain how to set the town centre to concentrate on a particular task. You assume people know how to do that. Please explain.
They REALLY need to add the ability to change player colors. Previous games had this feature. I refuse to be blue English.
Relic didn't have this in CoH2 either, there's no change made since then but I agree the Ensemble Studios Vibes really lacks without proper Colours you'd expect.
Wait, he doesn't buy the Prelate immediately? What?
I am still losing in skirmish, set on easy. :(
It is a nice game 🙂 but u can't rotate buildings all are the same positions
It’s actually more efficient to send villager to move closest sheep as close as base as possible and kill it ASAP with villagers then produce villagers group base while you produce villagers click on scoot then click on map to where you wanna go. After that you want to rally it on the sheep and make sure there is a blue flag while your scoot still moving move sheep’s as close as base as possible to the base and the sheep you are harvesting so that your villagers can kill it and gather without losing time in travel time. Early game economy really matters a lot as a slight inefficiency has quite some impact to the mid/late game and good bases matters a lot.
I know it’s min maxing but sometimes having 1 extra unit earlier or be able to make wall few sec earlier can change the course of the game.
Edit : ha you said it’s not the not min-max haha sorry 😅
Yeah the general idea is fine
Also for sheep you want to bring back your scoot with sheep before you run out of sheep food so that you can best income possible. Before switching to berries
IT feels Like you build the House to early
That poor sheep…
My biggest doubt is still the attack of troops, it seems basic but, I feel that I'm not efficient, my troops focus only on one troop and they are running around them lol
aoe is basically a very complicated rock paper scissors, you should always have a balance of troop types to counter what you need, if your civ specializes on lets say heavy infantry or ranged then make sur to keep a good number of cavalry to counter more ranged specialized civs or make more spearmen to counter cav heavy troops, unless ur the english then just go ham with the longbowmen and spam that
why would u not have a timer duirng build order guids like a timer is the number 1 think u need lmao
So England is same as high elves just spam archers bro

APM is borderline irrelevant in this game.

I played the game against highest AI throughout the campaign and skirmish.
I liked the campaigns a lot, absolutely great storylines.
But...the intelligence of this AI is just poor as shit. Truly shit. No difficulty whatsoever and I’m a bit saddened by that. The other downside is the lack of divers country’s to choose from, hope they add some more.
Online play is ok I think, eventhough im bad at it.
If they add some more content and fix AI it’s worth the money, otherwise...maybe play it on Xbox game pass?
2 and 3 are just better in my opinion.
Why sheep as opposed to Mill + 8 farm patches around it?
mill and farm costs wood, that's the main reason.
In previous AOE games, it was pronounced Mangudai with a hard G
