Thanks man ! Playing since aoe 2, now I can enjoy this masterpiece without having to buy a crazy pc. Still need a lot of training on a controller, but your tips helped a lot ! Greetings from France ;)
Best way to control units? What happens when I have 3 armies attacking on different sides of the map? How to flick between them? As far as I can tell the best way seems to be the 1-10 preset radias but that's slow/cumbersome and I'm hoping I'm missing something easier.
Great guide, thanks a lot!! I have only two grioes with the selection/microing on console: 1) you can't select units from a larger group through icons (there's no similar action as cycling with tab on PC), which I hope they'll fix somewhere dow the road; and 2) you can't check the units' stats when you click on them. The in-game manual does state that you should press A on a single unit to show it's stats, but that sinply does not happen: what you get is the simple (example) "horseman - light melee cavalry", but no stat whatsoever. No attack, no attack speed, no armor, etc. That really makes it harder for people to study the civs in-game, train and plan ahead. Other than that, this seems like a VERY GOOD controller implementation for a very complex RTS game, which is no small feat. The Relic guys (or was it other stufio) really outdid themselves.
The D pad switching should have been right stick directions, you have to take your thumb off RS to then press D pad, but you can roll LS in the menu, then use RS to change it to economy/military etc
Do you mean build a town center? You can do so in the 2nd age. It cost 400wood 350 stone and is located at about 8 o clock on the economic building radial
@@FitzBro nah it’s in the Russ campaign you gotta buy three trade posts and turn them to settlements literally doesn’t tell you how to do it so I’m just stuck and the pc version has a menu that you use that doesn’t exist on xbox
@@FitzBro appreciate the reply! Closest I can get is selecting a group, then hold down B. A read cicle appears and allows you to direct a think yellow line in a direction. Once I have the direction, while still holding B, I hit X. Troops form in the direction I want. But, it's a bit hit or miss. Hopefully we get an update one day!
Im really loving this on console. the controller is not as bas as i thought it would be. Killing it atm with HRE fast castle into burgrave men at arms spam been doing me very well
How do you remove units from a group without deleting the entire group? Like if I had 50 archers in a group, and wanted a few of them to go join a different group.
To remove specific units you're seeing on the field, you just hold LT and press B. It's really the opposite of selecting them with A. However, if you're not seeing them (such as when you select all of your military and want to send just one specific type of unit somewhere), then... I don't know how to do that. It would be the equivalent of cycling the icons with tab on PC.

@@FitzBrohow does the imperial official work on Xbox? Having a tough time getting the hang of it.

Hey Fitz! With the new patch and Xbox cross play, I think it’s time for an Xbox micro tutorial!
Loving all the recent content btw

Wow thank you so much!! I love the game but it was annoying to set those rally points for all buildings separately
These days fall in AOE4, ordered xbox,Thank you for your tips, excited
You're a legend for this.
The entire console ladder is already here😃
Thank you, bro! Best Xbox controls help I've seen.
Can you do a video on how group your military units quickly on xbox?
you let me fall inlove again with the game those waypoints are a game changer
The D pad switching should have been right stick directions, you have to take your thumb off RS to then press D pad, but you can roll LS in the menu, then use RS to change it to economy/military etc
You have touched on so many important things that will definitely help me
how do you buy settlements I can not figure it out and nothing is talking about it online

@@jamesmiller8262 dang, I haven't played the campaign. Hopefully someone else knows!
@@jamesmiller8262 I've got the exact same problem, and can't find a solution.
@@jamesmiller8262 that's a campaign only thing. Settlements don't exist in Multiplayer. I'm guessing it's either from the TC or a villager
Anyone figure out how to rotate groups of troops so they face the enemy? Really hard to fight when they are facing the wrong direction 😂
I don't think it is possible on Xbox sadly. I've seen others asking the same question.

I normally rotate the camera facing the enemy and double que the soldiers in the direction I want them to go
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!
How do I upgrade my Town center to increase the population, after building few houses it maxes out. Thanks
How do i play i just downloaded the game but keep getting disconnected error when i try to play the game

How do you get to the technology section? I am having a lot of trouble figuring it out and cant progress
Is there a way to simply scroll faster? I know it was just hold the left trigger in aoe2
How can you zoom out farther? It's too close.
You may find it in the setting menu.
How do you eject a relic from monastery?
You have to use a monk to complete that action, or destroy the monastery.
Thank you brother !! Finally some Xbox content on
How do you remove units from a group without deleting the entire group? Like if I had 50 archers in a group, and wanted a few of them to go join a different group.
Press Y on the group
To remove specific units you're seeing on the field, you just hold LT and press B. It's really the opposite of selecting them with A. However, if you're not seeing them (such as when you select all of your military and want to send just one specific type of unit somewhere), then... I don't know how to do that. It would be the equivalent of cycling the icons with tab on PC.
Did you cover the setting for numbering groups of units? Im completely lost trying to find it.
Should be l1 r1 at the same time. Select a group of whatever. Press the l1r1 then select 1 through 10.
Thank you !
How do you go to the next age on console? 😭😭😭
Open build menu RT, select economic radial, press up on D pad, build your landmark. Happy aging!
