That wraps up my previews of all 6 new civilizations coming to AoE4 in about 2 weeks! That said, stay tuned... more videos are on the way!
Thank you, sir!
Well done!
I’m guessing that it cannot be said, but will the nda be lifted before or on the release day? It would be great if it happened earlier, 2 weeks is a long time without detailed info.
Thanks for this. But a small typo. You probably meant PREVIEWS
@@CarlosLlamacho I'm afraid we cannot even share that - frankly, I don't even know why. But we're just following orders.
All I can say is stay tuned. :)
@@CarlosLlamachogoing by aoe2s news, the rate of info will pick up significantly now
Although crossbows were used in Japan I think this is an appropriate choice for a mounted archer instead
Early Samurai were known to use spear and bow more than sword, sword is just a sidearm
and they are also known to be capable horse archer
Its more for a balancing issue, they cannot have everything
@@marc-antoinemarcoux697 no I think it’s historically inspired too based on the lack of crossbows in large scale
Mounted archer makes much more sense for Japanese than crossbows, historically speaking.
I don't recall it is being woman though , hence the name Onna-musha . Now before you fling sexist at me , Japanese do have woman warrior but they are mostly for territorial defense , at the last line in fact , defend the Daimyo , and their main weapon is Naginata . If i was the dev , i would make them instantly train but timed life , buildable from Daimyo manor , kinda like Militiamen from AoE3 but instead of spawning weak unit , this one armed with bow and Naginata and will beat the crap out of cavalry raid .
OMG that over-the-top view of the map is so cool. Why cannot we not do this freely in replays!!! You always make this game look it's best.
I actually called it! That one of the ages was going to be a choice between Shinto and Buddhism
Most anticipated combo: the Japanese Civilization with a video from Age of Noob!
interesting to see how shinobi is played at the highest level
PS: the zoomed in shots and birdview are awesome
Japanese basically never used shields, only veeeery early on in ancient era. I hope horsemen with round shields are placeholder
I pretty sure they threw a lot of history accuracy out the window with Joan dark siege tower rams/flamethrower rams etc don’t expect something small as that to change
yeah that is the funniest part, john dark with hand cannon lol@@sirp7394
Just be glad they're even making an effort to make units more historical than previous entries. I mean in AoE 2 you can't tell the difference between Germans and Celts visually.@@sirp7394
5:57 handheld Bombard is my new favorite unit.
dang, it was fun to enjoy the BGM of your intro of all new civs. with the "goodbye " in different lang. ( i realise its goodbye until zhuxi, and confirmed at this video)
As always, a wonderful video. You are the master of AoE videos. Thank you so much for sharing them with us. The hype for the DLC will be much bigger because of you!
THIS civilization seems to have a gameplay that fits me way more: micro, with a bunch of way to keep the enemies crazy thanks to shinobi
I am surprised that they have not added warrior monks, and I hope that the shield riders are only in the previews, and that the samurai with a bow is not a fake like the Ottoman sipahi that did not have a bow and spear before launch but apparently after Relic made Company of Hero he forgot how to make historical games
Aren't Warrior monks coming with Zhu Zi's legacy?
@@TV_6255C I am referring to the Japanese monks who are different in many aspects from those of China, the Japanese monks had an active participation in conflicts during the conflicts in the Middle Ages, 13th, 14th, 15th century, although it seems to me that they also led rebellions in the 19th century. XVI with all this reform of its society. Now Chinese monks are nothing more than stereotypes. Zhu Xi was a Confucian, Buddhist monks in Shaolin uniforms fighting for a warlord is illogical. On the other hand, in Japan there is evidence that these did fight, they even had a whole motodology for this, and I am not referring to martial arts, but armor, naginata, yumi bow, spear, etc... for the record, my point is not to make fun of the game, If not to show my opinion regarding this particular aspect of the game, which disappointed me in some aspects and I liked in another.
How do you capture all this amazing footage? Do you use a mod to zoom and do all those close up low shots? Panning?
Best channel out there
honestly love the concept & the aesthetics of the japanese. The only question mark I have is trade as an imperial landmark - at that point in the game it might be too late already. Mongol trade is strong because it comes online so early.
A japanese cataphract wielding a naginata and a roundshield. Now i can finally say, i've seen everything
Finally something to scratch that Shogun 2 itch
So hyped to play samurai units, but i hope the devs can add native civs like the Aztecs, Comache, or Incas.
Aztecs and Incas make more sense than Comache as they are larger civilizations with empires in the high to late medieval era.
@@beoheltrue but the Comanhe are cool.
They already have Malians
@@portman8909 But the Malians have a medieval empire that spanned from high medieval to late-renaissance.
Yeah but they have that primitive aesthetic@@beohel
ah secunda, i see you are a man of culture
Skyrim OST :)
I have been really waiting for this civ thanks age of noob for provide good news
Username checks out - np! :)
@@AgeofNoob haha sorry
would be cool if the samurai can mount and dismount. infantry mode = good armor rating and high swift melee damage, cavalry mode = high slow melee damage but faster moving. mounting/dismounting takes deployment time like siege engines.
Those top-down view footages are gorgeous
this civ looks fun. cant wait for deep dives. nov 14 cant come quick enough
These zoomed views are next tier!!!! Imagine some gameplay in that angle!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
The Japanese are one of my favorite civilizations. The Shinobi seems like a treat for players who love micro in this game.
"Civilization deep dive coming very soon" . Will the NDA be lifted before the release or will we have to wait for the release date for more vids?
How do you change the player colors to the one like in the vids?
Great video, and damn man that Skyrim music makes me nostalgic
Is the Samurai Bannerman one single unit? Or are these two different units: The Bannerman and the Samurai?
So excited
Do we get instructional videos of the Devs showcasing the new civs? Just like they did with the malians and ottomans?
I'm not sure about the smoke bomb ability. This is like how I felt about the Musofadi stealth. In AoE3, stealth meant units were just less visible and not auto-targetable, not completely invisible. I thought the smoke bomb would be something like a stealth forest, not straight up teleportation. How 'magicky' are we ok with abilities being?
The Japanese explorers in AOE3 can teleport back to the tc using “smoke bomb” and it sucks. This is worrying
@dennisbergkamp1553 I remember that. AoE3 had quite a few gimmicky things, but I thought they did stealth fine. Not a big fan of adding a blink ability.
I think they'll change it. There's no way fans are going to be happy with a unit that can teleport. Would be fine in a fantasy warhammer game, but not this.@@IrishRepoMan
@@IrishRepoMan Bro what are you talking about, in AOE3 there are units that are completely invisible, and the only way they can be exposed is I think with spies, or if it's near a tower or with explorer... something like that
@@KOSOVOisSERBIA222 um, no. They're translucent, they lose the rings that increase visibility, and they can't be targeted unless you manually target or they get too close. They're 'revealed' to your units by towers and explorers and can't enter stealth in an enemy's Los.
"Stealth is an ability that some units can use to make themselves *mostly* invisible."
First line from the wiki. I
Yes finally!
These are Civilisation VI soundtracks!
The extra bonus for the blacksmith makes sense.
I already wondered, why they picked the smith, given that you probably build multiple of these buildings, and the benefit would be limited. (Yes, you research faster, but over the game, you will definitely build more than 2-10 smiths.)
Ngl im a bit scared bout Shinobi. In the hannds of an avg player seems pretty counterable, but pros can be really scary with that
I don't know how many details you're allowed to share yet. Are you able to reveal how many Daimyo manors the Japanese player is allowed, or if it has to be your starting TC? I ask because I like to build a secondary forward military base closer to my opponent and I would prefer to have a samurai castle in that location.
Everything is so perfect but the cavalry shields.. please change them so that they’re not round ❤️
They sound like they could be my new favourite civ.
The ratio of unit size to buildings... are you using a mod?
I want to zoom in like your video, pls show me how? Thank you
this and the new HRE variant seem really interesting.
How do Shinobis sabotage buildings?
Temporarily stops their productivity or deal a single siege attack to drop their hp to critical levels?
Can outposts, keeps, and scouts detect (but not auto attack) Shinobis?
probably like overseer zerg ability in starcraft 2, stop the production or research of building.
Or maybe stop the queue of that building.... Like yk stop military queue
@@loks117 its going to be like red alert 3 mix of ninja and spy unit. The ninja could attack and use smoke bomb to be untargeted and shroud in semi invisible state. and go into a building and disable the building being used. So if its a barracks you cant produce from it, if its a mining camp you cant drop off ore. If its a TC you get LOS of Towncenter. The spy did the same but by becoming a unit you selected that wasn't a vehicle.
I am hyped for how they play, as Japan was one of the few civs I kinda wanted on launch but I get why it took them this long to add them in, now all we need for the next DLC is more Asia and Africa focus civs to help round things out better as we have most of Europe covered. (I say Most and yet there are many more they can add and should add but I'm talking for Basic match ups)
They need to add danes next dlc
@@henrifortier8621right? Vikings being absent is weird. Also I would like some southern European stuff. Italians like Florence, Genova or Venice. Byzantines, Spanish.
the connections between the buildings look very nice... is this a mod? In the real game I have not yet noticed these so strongly pronounced.
What is your geometry detail set to?
It is indeed a part of the base game. As Portman mentioned, it's likely due to your graphics settings.
Red alert 2/3 players laughing themselves sick right now.
I need Ashigarus and Ashigaru Improvements like Total War: Shogun 2 for their famous Yari Wall.
What could be the Japanese navy be? Would they have boarding ships?
Former Shogun 2 player here
Boxy decks, names of kobaya, ataka-bune, mekura-bune, a glimpse of the Nihon Maru?
04:56 the view :O
Did the japanese horsemen use shields?
FREAKING FINALLY! I will finally have a reason to actually buy this game!
that villager is a spy!
Better smoke bomb out of there.. :D
Thanks for the support btw - I recently saw that you became a member. Cheers.
cant find the japanese campaign in aoe4, is it unlockable?i have the dlc sultans ascend
If you have the Sultans Ascend DLC already, it should be unlocked from the get go. Ensure that the DLC downloaded correctly!
@@AgeofNoob yes ,skirmish matches are there, but no campaign, i dont think there is a japanese campaign..
@@andersbengtsson8521 Yes, the Campaigns are about the Crusades only.
Why u showing palace guards in this video? Do the japanese have them? Also the lancers just look like the chinese lancers. Are these reused assets?
As mentioned in the beginning of the video, we can't show Japanese units yet. Hence, I had to use placeholders.
Spirit of the Law must be hard
Am i the only one that is very confused by seeing japanese horsemen wearing round shields?
Me too 😂
@@chinweilei3056 no content creator has outlined this and i honestly dont know whatbto think, are really going to let this go trought? Or what?
@@Im_Anthonyy There are two things here:
1) Devs have to take some artistic liberty to ensure that units of the same type are somewhat understandable across all civs. Round shields of the Horsemen is a design choice that helps newer players understand that they are horsemen of different civs. It's a fine line of gameplay clarity that they have to tread.
2) We have absolutely no power in determining how units look - or even changing them after the fact. Also, most of the stuff we see have been completed many months in advance, so, even if we did theoretically have the power to change things, it would be too late in many cases.
The Japanese used shields. You can look it up there is a deep history about it
I mean, looking for what Japanese shields looked like, I found this amongst many more square and oval designs:
pm1.aminoapps.com/6586/47b0bec5091e211728cc8de80e0f2a7aac1152f5_hq.jpg
Skyrim had the best soundtrack. Nice.
Wow... really. Up to 17th century? That like... End of Sengoku Jidai period and start of Edo. They should have soooo much gun pounder weapons. They're pretty much up to the Age of Empires III Japan. The hand canons showed off seem too primitive, however. The tanegashima guns looks more like a European Arquebus. Which is not so weird since it was from the Portuguese they got the design.
Edit: I just notice one unit that actually seem to have the correct style of firearm. Though... I am not sure...
This game sits somewhere between aoe 2 and 3 personally
So british and Japanese will be the two main easy to play casual civs. both have good high level play and are easy to get into.
there is no british, this isn't AoE III
@@rollthetape88 English, sorry forgot Britian didn't exist yet...
I like the each faction got unique play style, but Japanese took so far.. almost every units are unique and sooo many another level features.
Every Dev resource for Japanese could been 2 whole new faction instead 1 Japanese !
General Shinobi!
Horsemen with shield? Hmmmm
Uhm the no hunt thing from aoe3 got canned. Shamed cuz it's an interesting mechanic and historical trivia that I didn't know about.
It's even more interesting they stick with the normal hand gunner look cuz historically speaking by the time Japan had access to gunpowder they have access to matchlock, they kinda just skipped the tube in a stick phase.
It's in a mod
Onna-Musha means female warrior. Are their voice lines gonna be female? Thats a new thing to look forward to😄
Yes, but don't expect a Love Live! seiyuu in the game's Japanese civ credits
@@royasturias1784 lmao but that would be pretty funny
ha you are using the music in Civ6
面白そう
mighty?
This civ is the only reason i might get the new DLC. I hope they replaced the wheat fields with rice fields!!
That would be cool
This Shinobi... Honestly i never look at my villagers 💀
💖
Daimyo = Lord
Tenno heika banzai!
"Onna-Musha" is literally just "Female Warrior" in Japanese, that's it and nothing more. "Yabusame"(a type of Japanese mounted archery) or "Yabusame Archer" should be a better name and used in AoE3. But I guess the devs really want a female UU for some reason.
That's kind of what was done with the Malians and the Musofadi Warriors/Gunners. I believe it brings a nice feeling to the game, to be honest.
@@jimmyorgenkaccrow4961 Musofadi Warriors aren't actually fake, although they are indeed inserted in a wrong historical period, but also are the Janissaries, for example.
Onna-Musha did exist, and in this case the historical period is accurate, but, well, referring to them as their gender rather than as their profession can be a subject of discussion, I agree. But, by no means it bothers me to have some sort of female representation in the game. Does it bother you?
@@JansenTTit absolutely bothers him
Onna-musha were literally what they were called lol
I know people like to think of history as a time with fancy names and everything, but people have always been the same and generally just called things as they were
@@punkyllama420 No, Malians are literally one of the most influential players during AoE4 time period. They were not only added for representation reasons. This comment sounds extremely sus ngl
There's much more of an argument to include an empire like the Malians than the Japanese lmao and I don't think you'll find many upset about Japanese being included
Yes I hear skyrim soundtrack
Bro I really wonder whether these shinobis're going to be able to extinguish the upcoming Byzantines ground burning skill with their smokebombs 😂 😂 That's what we used to do in CS Go!
Onna Bushi looks so authentic and on point. But the Japanese knight(?) unit looks awful. A mongolian style heavy cavalry with a ROUNDSHIELD?? Man.
wait a minute. that one mf looked korean
I'm gonna love reddit, nerf shinobi posts 😂.
I already saw one posted. :)
farmhouse is folwark from AOE2
shinobi a.k.a ninja : THERE IS IMPOSTOR AMONG US
and looks like japanese will get organ gun too
why does japan feature some chinese units? strange
I dont like how Japanese handcannoners are not carrying Tanegashima matchlock like the Ottoman's Jannissaries... Disappointing!!!
Should be free tho...
+
My worry is that this civ feels pigeonholed into this DLC, and I’m worried that it means we shouldn’t expect more DLC. I hope I’m wrong
they make Japanese units no different to Chinese or Mongols, just some unique unit like Samurai, Shinobi, Ozutsu... I waited so long and expected Japan faction look so unique to actually Japanese, so disappointed, no buy from me of course
Japanese with round shield?with spear on the other hand?seriously?
I don’t speak Japanese. - Valkyrie
I'm sorry, do the Shinobi actually teleport now?! 🙄
1. The Japanese never used early handcannons (the kind that handcannoneers use in AoE4). They saw the Mongols use cannons during the 13th century, but they were described as strange fire tubes or bells, and were never reverse engineered by them. The first cannon the Japanese ever got their hands on was imported from China in 1510, and the Japanese didn't start producing firearms until the Portuguese introduced them to arquebuses in 1543, which they quickly began to mass produce. So they skipped the early handcannon entirely in their firearms production.
2. The ozutsu is a later evolution of the arquebus. So it being shown as coexisting with early handcannons is doubly nonsensical. It's like showing M16s alongside Brown Besses.
The Japanese handcannoneer should be replaced with an arquebusier that uses a long gun, not a handcannon, like the Musofadi Gunners and Janissaries do.
Because NDA, OP can't spill the whole can.
Tanegashima Samurai?
why I constantly see Chinese units and buildings in this Japanese introduction video
Because he can't show that many Japanese stuff that hasn't been released, so he had to use things from other civs as placeholders at some moments (he explained in the beginning of the video).
As Thomas mentioned - the Chinese are the closest geographically to the Japanese, which is why I used mostly their footage.
My bad, I really didn't pay attention to the first minutes of this video. A nice summary of Japanese Civ anyway. Can't wait for the release.
@@liaocheng4942 Np!
smart man.@@AgeofNoob
They used Chinese building design ....that's extremely pooor
No I used the Chinese because I can't use the Japanese yet.
man they destroyed this game with pathethic childish ,cartoonish graphics..i was hoping for more realistic art style... this art is fortnit style... what a shame !
i have been playing age of empire 2 for the last 20 years of my life, and one of the things which was appealing to me about the game was its art style, it felt realistic considering the time when it was initially released ..
Waaaaah. Cry more simp
Terrible building design.😂😂 why chinese style?
Why does AoE4 look so ugly? AoE2 is much better and more serious.
Ha ha ha Insecure ?😂😂😂😂. Aoe 4 is way better than aoe 2.. I mean leave that old rotten fruit already.. New generation gamers are picking up aoe 4 not aoe 2.😂
AoE 2... Isn't that the game where all European factions have the same buildings and units? As if there were no cultural design differences between any of them?
