Hello everyone! Be sure to watch the first video on the HRE infantry first if you haven't already - linked below. As mentioned, let me know if there are specific game mechanics, units, or upgrades that you'd like me to look into. As always, thank you all for tuning in to Age of Noob!

@@LarryCroft111 Prelates give holy inspiration to all units near it, this affects military after getting the inspired warrior tech in Age 3. Warrior Monks do not buff passively, but unlike prelates they can attack as a mounted cavalry unit. Upon making a successful attack, all nearby units get the "Saints Blessing." SB and HI both grant attack, but HI also gives a +1 defense. SB however has three extra upgrades in the Abby of the Trinity that give it more range, potency, and duration. This combined with the Warrior Monk being a fighting unit with much greater speed and durability makes it vastly superior to the Prelate imo.
I play mostly HRE and you have to adhd healing to the buff. You get a buff egen you enter Battlestar and a nej unit egen its healed up. Also buff affects forward villagers, holy sites and siege units too.
Nice video. Just one thing: Marching Drills should be tested against ranged units being microed. Getting closer faster means an actual increase in DPS, because you can actually hit again, or even encircle your opponent's army. Besides, you'll be able to choose your battles, at least against enemy infantry.
Two handed weapon MAA without maces look pretty damn off to be honest. Those plain axes almost straight from Bayeux tapestry don't match the rest of the unit very late 15th century/Renaissance look at all.
Thank you. Also calling HRE "romans" is wrong, i'll rather call them "imperials" or germans,but the latter is a bit erroneous since HRE also contained czechs,dutch,french and italians.
Nest of bees has become a lot better after the winterpatch. Though mangonels can shoot and scoot with higher projectile speeds. NoB's are better in sustained fights cause low reload times, high dmg and big projectile spread. They tend to be iffy in shooting behaviour when their target dies, or when moving before finishing their current round of projectiles. Movementspeed + dmg buff made them a lot more useable though. You use them mostly as a pressure tool, up front, or as a set siege position.
just to add here: nest of bees dont fire if they are in shallows, like river crossings, they have the firing animation, but nothing is actually fired, so be careful of standing in shallows
Your content is super helpful! This is exactly the stuff us moderate to competitive players want to see! Keep up the great work. You have a new subscriber in me :)
Honestly i go for marching drills first... It means that for example the english have to be damn sure that they win a fight with their longbowman since they cant kite back as effectively or break of an engagement....
Maybe some tests with the fire lancer would be nice? I remember for a very long time they were thought of as underpowered given how expensive it was to unlock them, but I'm curious how they do against non-siege units.
@@davidsteffensen4230 The thing is that now more people are aware of this strat so they use the right army against firelancers There's also maps where you can't sneak into ennemy base without killing it's army, such as in black forest
Did you check, if there is a difference in the attack speed? The total DPS can vary wildly and I wouldn't be surprised, if the two-handede upgrade reduces the attack speed.
Great video ! I only have one nipp pick that i don't know if it is even worth changing: The HRE where not "the romans" but actually "the germans". Even though it was called the Holy Roman Empire its full title was the Holy Roman Empire of german(ic) states. Original german title: Heiliges Römisches Reich Deutscher Nationen Literal translation: Holy Roman Empire of German Nations The deeper background for this is that the HRE was the 1st german "Reich" with the 2nd Reich being the Kaiserreich of World War 1 and the 3rd Reich being Nazi-Germany. So to conclude: > Calling the HRE "the Romans" makes more sense for the player base because the faction has "roman" in its name. > But calling the HRE "the germans" would make more sense for the historic context because mostly germans made up the HRE. I don't really know what the better option would be since both are kind of confusing for different group of people. > I personally just noticed it because i am from germany. (I am sure as hell not calling myself a "roman" xD) Vice versa romans/italians might(!) also be confused. But I guess that's european history: one big complicated ut lovable mess of nations
is elephants bugged ? i heard they are not attacking knights right now, im talking about melee war elephant... seemed in the video that they were doing no animation and i barely saw any dmg output.
Those ''Romans'' are technically Germans who want to be Romans (Holy Roman Empire = 1st Reich) . Where I am from ''Holy Roman Empire'' translates to ''Holy Roman German Empire'' (Well, technically it is used the adjective derived from the slavic noun for Germans : ''nemtzi'' (singular- nemetz (which means mute))
I have my doubts about efficiency of blacksmith upgrades in the first place. Of course, if you get them all it's marginally better but is +1 over your opponent really worth it (except specifically for and against archers)? I mean, in AoE2 where 14 base attack is something really great +1 is a great improvement, but in AoE4 where attack easily goes over 20?
Hey man you make the greatest content in AOEIV. I want to thank you so much for giving me that shout out man! It helped me a lot and I will be doing more AOEIV ambience in the future
I kinda feel like this is a lost opportunity to put a new game mechanic into age of empires. Every civ since the beginning of time has always wanted to get every single upgrade until theres none left. But I think it would be really engaging and unique if the HRE could pick and choose which upgrade for their MAA they wanted at any point in Castle/Imperial. It would require a lot more nuanced stats for the MAA and would require each upgrade to have a very very specific purpose, but I think its worthy of being a mod once the tools come out.
Sounds interesting, but it's a bad design idea, as each upgrade would not be a side-grade, but a specialization. And if you pick the wrong one, bang, your infantry is now much less effective; unless if yo can change it on the fly, with a cool-down or something. Still, I like that the HRE has this very distinct strong point that requires preparation to pullout (only gets there after 2~3mins into castle).
imo would be much better for the game if something like the landsknecht had different weapons it could switch between, individual tech for each MAA is far too much micro management on top of balancing issues, other RTS have tried it and it doesnt always work, especially for aoe4 scale.
Im seeing the mechanic working very differently from what you guys described. Each state of MAA has its own advantages as a ground level articulation.. Sword/Mace + Shield = Highest melee block chance Two handed = Highest damage output vs light targets Two handed + Mace = Highest dmg output vs heavy targets The HRE player buys all the MAA upgrades. They now exist as buttons in your barracks that you can re-select for free at any time. After 1 min 30secs, your MAA will be re-equipped with the techs associated weapon. Now an HRE player can pick and choose the advantages they want for their MAA on the fly no matter how many times the enemy player changes up their roster in castle/imperial. This wouldnt be a net negative for an HRE player. This would definitively make their MAA the most versatile infantry option in the entire game.
I really hope they added blood in this game tbh. Cause for me that feels like an epic battle is going, and it would compensate bc of Aoe 4's cartoonish looks compared to 3. But that's just my opinion (I'm a total war fan after all)
Still not sure why these videos discuss landsknechts vs maa like it's a one or the other choice, you make both of them and mix them together to minimize their weaknesses
you can only have so much time and resources early game as soon as you reach Castle Age and you haven't made MAAs yet, you have to choose which unit type to invest in first you don't need tech nor upgrades to make Landsknechts right away you need to upgrade your Early MAA and research maces to get the HRE MAA which would put it on par with Landsknechts either path would take too much gold away from investing into the other at the same time, especially when you want another unit type to complement your melee infantry ie Mangonels
@@AgeofNoob Well, the HRE was called, by Voltaire, as the "...Neither Holy, Nor Roman, Nor an Empire". Not Holy (as the emperors had many conflicts with the Pope and other Christians/Catholics realms). Not Roman (Mostly Germanic people - even the Italy part that integrated the empire was mostly controlled by Lombards... other Germanic people); also, Byzantium (East Roman Empire - Empire of the Greeks - Byzantine Empire) was a thing. Not Empire (huge fragmentation in power and authority within it's many realms) -
@@Smogne Voltaire may be a great thinker and philosopher, but I wouldn’t take any history lessons from him, anyway before the Interregnum broke the imperial authority in 13th century, her should be considered an empire for all intent and purpose
I see "equal res" mentioning lately, can you explain how you calculate equal resources I'd like to understand what it means and how you get to those numbers for unit count
HRE still seems underwhelming in the artillery meta. Especially against the Rus, they have no answer to Strelzy, Bombards, Mangonels and Springalds. My impression, at least.
i dunno they seem to be working pretty well for me (although i am not too high elo...just broke 1100). MAA spam backed up by a mango or two and some springalds works wonders mid game and end game is just ridiculous because of how much gold they can get through relics...honestly the biggest struggle imho is early rushes that are so easy for some other races - england, mongols, and now china...really it seems that pretty much everyone other than HRE have some sort of early rush mechanic....
lol... HRE has very good arty options, eating every fraction with their culverins. They get enough gold to hold late-game with expensive units. It turns out, that it is maybe the best fraction, but you need the macro and micro most player doesn't have.
Very good video! But could please not call HRE Romans. If you dont like to say Holy Roman Empire or HRE then please just call them "the Germans" because the HRE is Austria and Germany and not Italy or Rome.
Primo: the version of the name with "of German Nations" added in, was only adopted in the late Middle Ages. Before that, it was known simply as Sacrum Imperium Romanum - Holy Roman Empire Secundo: HRE was far from being ethnically homogenous. You're forgetting that its population was also composed of Slavs, Italians, French, Swiss, and Dutch.
