Hello everyone - let me know what you think so far regarding the Ayyubids! As mentioned, tune back in next week for the upcoming announcement, and consider subscribing/joining as a member if you'd like to support further; thank you!
@@zulupimpo You're welcome! We can't share that yet unfortunately, but expect new info to come every week leading up to launch. We will have a window before the actual release of the DLC to share everything with you, but that time has not come yet.
Hi, i don't know if you can answer but as stated on the civ description Ayyubids have access to Golden Age bonuses, are those the exact same bonuses (and activation method) as the Abbasids?
@@Sh0ppo_Order of the Dragon. Wiki it, though the said multiethnic organization was short-lived. Expect Hungarian, Yugoslav and Romanian grunts to fight for the Kaiser.
@royasturias1784 yeah had to do that in the first place after the first huge wtf moment :D Name it House of Luxemburg for example, that is what I would prefer. Jmho though
This is essentially a new civ, and now I'm hyped about these civs variations. I really thought they were going the AoE 2 route with simply different bonuses and at best 1/2 unique units, but this is much bigger in scope.
Great video and interesting new units, the tower of the Sultan reminds me of the Helepolis from the ancient greeks, they were present in Age of Mythology!
More like the Egyptians from AoM, they have a ram that shoots arrows. The helepolis is a tanky anti infantry and anti archer unit, more than anti building (it does decent damage to the buildings, but if I'm not mistaken the catapult is better for that).
Very interesting, right now it almost feels like the Ayyubids are a straight upgrade over the Abbasids, so I'll be curious to see what the Ayyubids lose in comparison to keep the balance. Still, they seem fun, and big expensive cornerstone units like the Sultan's Tower are always appealing to me lol
As mentioned in the video, the House of Wisdom only provides two options to choose from per Wing... and nothing else can be researched. It's very different to what the Abbasids have at their disposal!
@@AgeofNoob Ohh so the options you choose for each wing when you build them are the ONLY things you get from the House of Wisdom, I thought it might still contain other bonuses. That definitely does change the formula then
I hope they lose fresh foodstuffs as that is the most civ defining tech for the abbasid outside the HoW. Also that one in particular is THE boom tech so it would make a lot of sense.
@@anothaeasywin not like this lol 😂, but It is like a King tiger in a WW2 game, even better, and I love this kind of units , that are so scary and stand out from others, the elephants will looks like a joke compared to them 😍😂

Great content, interesting to hear the dervish is mounted. I thought that massive crazy Helepolis was going to be limited, i like the concept, but dont think it's cool having multiples of that giant thing. It makes sense now why you suggest it should be smaller
Thanks for this awesome video! I have the same opinion about the Tower of the sultan... they need to resize it a bit! by the way and for the fifth time watching you saying Arabic words makes me feel very happy like not all of the you-tubers can do this bro you are a unique one.
I really think they should replace the camel lancers with Arabian Horses, I like what they were doing but Salahdin based his army off of horse cavalry, and he RELIED on horse archers big time, if they could just swap the model for a horse and give it nice armor that would be dope An Arabian horses just look really cool, and they were bred just for battle and thriving in that region
@@coyotesweg3129 I mean ya, but it’s not really a big change they would need to do, they can adjust stats to still make it good against cav, for me as a history buff it just feels weird, it would be like Mongolians riding on camels as their main army, cause they use camels for farming and for trade lol, it’s not a big deal just a small thing that bugged me, when I think of the Ayyubids or Salahdin, it’s how much he based his plans on his cavalry, and horse archers and riders, it’s not a big deal and I do love the camel de-buff on horses
Agreed, the camel units are overkill and the Muslim armies mostly relied on horses not camels. It is just reinforcing the typical western trope of "arab desert = camels!!!".
Wa alaykum salam brother. What a perfect way to end this video On the tower of sultan, i personally like their size (based from images), as it makes them look as big as the stone wall. It portrays the menacing image, Just imagine being an archer on wall with the height advantages and the enemy just bring those humongous siege towers/rams, giving their archer height advantage and protection and as protected ladders for assault troops, or as a huge and protected rams to knock down the gate. Being able to shoot arrow makes it a more "true" siege tower than the actual siege towers in aoe2 or 4 where you need to ungarison archers to shoot
Ayyubid Dynasty and Mamluk Sultanate times are when Egyptians have their strongest military in the entire history, they are among the few that repelled foreign invaders from Egypt (or Jerusalem)
Ayyubi Kurds literally expelled all shia Arabs from Egypt (was majority shia) and made shafi sunni Islam the main religion. They even decimated the black power block and pursued them far into Sudan. Same with Armenians.
@@huizhou47I actually talked about Egyptian Sultanate defeating Crusaders and Mongols, as their biggest military achievements, but yeah dissolving the Fatimid Shia dynasty is not less important. The moral I learned from this Islamic history is That the freedom of Palestine can only be achieved by Muslims who are enemies of Shia (Umar and Salahudin) and not with the help of Shia instead
@@AaronRohan this isn't up for discussion, its backed up by sources from that era. I gave you a wikipedia article so you can go look up the sources yourself. And for someone unaware of what the black power block was you are quick to dismiss it.
@@AaronRohan You are free to look into the books that Wiki page is based on, since those books claim the "use of hitherto neglected Arabic sources, including unpublished manuscript material - -notably the correspondence, both private and official, of Saladin's own court -to set the whole of Saladin's career and achievements, civil and military, within the specific framework of his age."
Civ changes but not too drastically? Named as one former civilization on same region? Gameplay is unique and give a notable resemblance to the history? Now this is variant civ fr fr
I was a little worried about the Ayyubids at first but after watching pour video I'm really excited for them. Also I'm glad that they now have a more fitting name even though I didn't find this issue to be as... pressing as some other memebers of the community.
I guessed they would keep the house of Wisdom and I think this is a good way to make another spin on it. It makes me think a bit of the AoE3 and AoM age ups where you have to choose certain bonuses, although it isn't exactly the same thing.
I doubt they can pickup 2 relics, but from what Age of Noob said, they might have some kind of ability to either negate the religious abilities from opponents religious units, or some good damage against them (and speed from being mounted). And needing to have a relic to use the mass heal is a good idea.
I've been kinda skeptical of this since release but these are some very cool mechanics and I love the idea of the variant civs. I'm one of those people who liked AoE 3 more than AoE 2 on a lot of levels and I love that they're making these civs a little more unique.
Can't help to notice that you pronunced perfectly the Arabic "q" in Manjaniq and that you ended the vid with the muslim greeting. Are you a student/Speaker of Arabic?
Oh wow... I wanted Abba to be more aggressive than defensive and expansive because I prefer aggro over expanse. That's a wish come true... Salah ud'din Ayyubi...
Although the Ayyubids definitely is an improvement, personally I'm not too keen on the camel focus, as those were historically rarely ridden into battle, nor has it anything to do with the Saladin and his descendants. Great Arabic pronunciation btw!
Ayyubid is really a good choice of name I am less convinced by the Order of the dragon, which litterally existed during 30 years, and the Zhu Xi Legacy, which historically wasn't a nation or an empire. If it was only up to me, I would have deleted the chinese counterpart for this DLC and improve it to maybe deliver Koreans later in a more appropriate expansion !
@@loks117Korea would be cool, but idk about Persia, as historically, in this time period Persia was mostly just being repeatedly conquered by nomadic peoples like the Mongols, Arabs, and Turks, we already have all of those in the game. There were a few Persian Dynasties that rose for a brief moment in this period, and they could have some cool cavalry units, but idk. Also, the Ayuubids are literally Egyptians lol. I would really like to see Vikings or a South East Asian one like Vietnam though, that would be awesome, or Portugal/Castile, or some more Eastern Europe stuff, like Poland or Hungary. The Winged Hussars and the Black Army are some of the most iconic military units of this time period, it would be sooo awesome to see them. Lithuania would also be really cool with Pagan religion mechanics. Like maybe they could do sacrifice with sheep or something early game, and then late game they become a normal religious civ, as in real life they converted to Catholicism.
I want to know more about the mercenaries, if ayyubids can buy france knights in feudal it is op af. also does mercenaries has to spawn near the house of wisdom?
Said it since the start, the 4 variants are reskins, the DLC content that is truly important is the Japanese and the Byzantines and the campaign if it interests you
The size of the Tower of the Sultan is due to buildings and units simply using a different scale. If buildings were as large as they should be, then the tower would probably seem even too small. Units are already too big compared to buildings. Buildings generally are way too small compared to units. The dimensions of the game just break down, if you want to have a unit large enough to tower over walls, but still have the correct proportions in relation to other units.
Sounds like Aubbid cavalry outclasses French cavalry. Isn't cavalry supremacy was the main thing around the French? Nerfing french knights for balancing reasons, just to release a A camel Lancer later on? What about camel warrior, what it's moving speed and it's ranged attack animation delay? I wonder if those very strong units meant yo sell DLC, an later on get nerfed, or it's a potential balance overlook by the devs?
The siege tower is not too big the buildings are too small! The towers on the barracks are so dinky compared to the units. AOE never had perfect scaling which is understanable but AOE4 definitely has the most noticeable tiny buildings.
Greate review thanks,but I have one question , since their name was the sultan's army, so I am wondering if they have some kind of hero/commander unit? or used to have one and they removed it?
@@AgeofNoobI think the names invoking clear and easy to understand mental images for a regular person playing games is a much better choice. When the vast majority of people hear "Ayyubids", they won't get excited about trying them out themselves, because they have no idea what is this civilisation, unless they are heavily into medieval history or originate from the region impacted by them and learned about them from school. When people hear "Sultan's Army" or "Jade Emperor", they immediately get the rough image of what they could play and experience, and it would draw more attention to the game. I get why some people don't like the names, but they don't even consider that from what I'm seeing in the discussions anywhere. It's not a poorly chosen name, it's actually a very good consideration from them and understanding how little a regular person knows about things long in the past, even if they are not against the idea of playing a medieval themed game for fun. But thanks for the clarification.
Sounds like devs investing in those factions far more than they did with the original. Ayyubids look far more sophisticated in terms of mechanics and strategy when compared to English and French. That concerns me, in the long term the more expansions players get, the more sophisticated factions would get. At least that's my opinion.
We need unique art and architecture to variant civs its discusting from the divs just to rename aredy exsisting civs we need some art work for each civs diffrent town center and art diffrent vuilding style
Does anyone know why buildings stop producing units after save in the late game? Honestly don't care about all these new patches until the devs sort this out?
By the way, from what I've seen people tell Spirit of the Law, I think the pronunciation for Ratha is "Rathi/Rathee" and not how you'd expect it to be in English
Variant civilizations, a.k.a what I, an RTS geek, would call subfactions by any appropriate term in the AoE glossary The variant civ, despite sharing the same looks and mechanics of the parent civ since game launch, is different in lore, technology, powers, specialization. Example: GLA Stealth General (Prince Kassad) in CnC Generals Zero Hour that focuses on stealth and ambushes, like getting the GPS Scrambler support power earlier than vanilla GLA faction, but losing certain units to be produced and you have to make do with the others
hmm kinda disapointed i didnt see any mamluks for cavs or the axe weilding unit for the Ayyubids but thats probably me just playing too much med 2 and its mods but all in all im still interested based on what i see here and talks between friends

I wish the flag was just plain yellow tho like the black abbasid flag.
Havent played AoE4 in more than a year, can someone explain what are these variant civs? thanks
Variant civilizations, a.k.a what I, an RTS geek, would call subfactions by any appropriate term in the AoE glossary
The variant civ, despite sharing the same looks and mechanics of the parent civ since game launch, is different in lore, technology, powers, specialization. Example: GLA Stealth General (Prince Kassad) in CnC Generals Zero Hour that focuses on stealth and ambushes, like getting the GPS Scrambler support power earlier than vanilla GLA faction, but losing certain units to be produced and you have to make do with the others
Walikum Salam (I am obligated to say this if someone says Salam o Alaikum)
hmm kinda disapointed i didnt see any mamluks for cavs or the axe weilding unit for the Ayyubids but thats probably me just playing too much med 2 and its mods but all in all im still interested based on what i see here and talks between friends
Saving the Mamluks, Tabardariyya / Tabar Axemen, Khassaki and (Nizari) Hashshashin for another Abbasid varciv
