Thanks for watching and supporting! :)
Hey Beasty, just wanted to say. Super cool you found new groove in AOE4. Been following you for few years watching SC2. Big fan and happy for you. Also great content as always!
English 1:42
French 5:18
HRE 9:57
Rus 16:28
Abbasid 22:58
Delhi 28:54
Mongols 36:05
China 43:10
the lord's work
Heroes dont always wear capes
Literally bought the game and playing it because of your videos. They should give you an affiliate or something.
Thanks for the content. Good stuff.
I love how neutral and unbiased this rundown was. Each civ has its own pros and cons and which will suit you depends on your play style. That’s the mark of a great strategy game and I’m super happy you’re loving it.
I downloaded it last night and after a few rounds, French seems to work well for me so far.
Didn't watch it yet but I've been looking for exactly this and I know you will do it properly and in detail!
Thank you so much!
I played the old aoe 1 and 2 but watching you play this.... makes me want to try aoe4
its free for 4 days right now
English is very very wood hungry in the early and mid game
This would be a great video to remake every year or two since balance changes affect the civs so much.
Thanks for making this!
Maybe you already did this but would be cool if you can do another strength/weaknesses updated to now? So after all the patches and Malian/Ottoman.
As a mongol main player, I gotta say I agree with your review on mongols, but there is some things I disagree with as well.
You saying the Deer Stones is a must, I find it rather useless? It's only good for Feudal Age and if you are going for a early push, and especially in 1v1 games.
But in castle age you can research the "Yam Network" anyway, rendering the deerstone rather useless.
I find the Silver Tree far better and more versatile for the Mongols, because it gives you the option to go do a very explosive booming and reach imperial age almost immediately or do very strong push as you have the gold econ to make enough cavalry and mangudai to keep complete map controll.
Combined with upgrades and raiding squishy buildings such as houses and camps, you can get a even stronger econ.
I don't know, each to their own mongol style play. I love early DR, but I also like teamgames.
Also I don't know if you know about this, but your trade caravan still works even when the silver tree is packed. meaning you can move your traderoute leisurely without unpacking the tree, so whenever you see enemies getting into the backlines, you can always move the direction of your caravan route to try avoid the enemies armies intersecting it.
Also wish you talked more about navy.
I love Navy maps, and Mongol navy is definitely my top favourite navy to play. as Piracy is so ludicrously strong for the mongols if you play it right xD
Good tips. I like the idea of pursuing silver tree and researching Yam network in the castle age.
A AE4 more unit focused video would be nice
You clean up beautifully 👏 👏 👏
Can we get an update for season 4, lots and lots have cjanged
Beasty what I want next is AOE4 CHEESE vids! Bring 'em back
Makes me want more races for sc2..... rebel terran and another alien race
Can we have an updated version of this video for new players in game
Meta Ranks
1. Rus / Mongol
3. Chinese
4. French
5. English / HRE
7. Abbasid / Delhi
Casual Ranks
1. French / Chinese
3. Rus / English / Mongol
6. HRE / Delhi / Abbasid
Chinese way too slow for casual rank rushes.
@@nathanielburbery4890 China is amazing if left alone and in more casual games people get left alone more often.
Beastyqt please read this. You look good in the suit on the thumb nail you should absolutely stream in a suit like that just once and least I would love to see it.
Thats like asking feet pics bro
😍
I told blizzard in a sc2 post years ago "as soon as anyone makes anything your games is dead" and here we are no more free units no more bainlings no more infinity range instant seige into invisibility no more
Well its good for Blizzard, that nobody is making shit then. RTS Games are basically non existent. 1 good Game in 10 years is what we get.
no more banelings ? Demo ships ?
No one cares what you wrote in your diary in broken English.
Regarding HRE age 4 landmark 'palace of swabia'; its villager production speed is reduced by 75%, which doesn't mean 75% faster but actually 300% faster
Same speed as 4 TC (although it will or is nerfed to be same as 3?)
Mongols: Haha Ger go Brrr
If one garrisons a camel inside a keep, does the camel still do AOE debuff to enemy calv? If so, it would be smart to have a camel inside important keeps?
Haha I wanna try that
dynasties, gunpowders and taxes = US :P
Kinda crazy that the water locked historically navy powerhouse has no bonouses for the water
Do people play anything other than French or English. I literally haven’t seen anything else in 15 games
I was literally asking myself this yesterday :,)
Watched this at 1.5 speed, heard more lip smacking than talking
Bistiiii, iznabadaj bre DeMuslima u onu masnu glavudzu brt.
Is this still accurate mid 2024?
What civilization do you play
Can’t wait for the insane challenges vs AI
I've got a lot of abbasid experience, and from what I can tell they struggle to get to the point where they thrive. The early games often where they lose, cuz once the eco is up its pretty underrated imo
Zzzz you’ve never played China huh… imperial officials can also supervise buildings which makes the building produce 3X as fast. So clocktower is producing at 3 siege workshop speed
Thanks! Luv the details
china is OP. It has the most amount of unique units, most of which are the best on their categories. Moreover, they have a ridiculous amount of bonuses and buffs coming from their 12 available landmarks, plus a plethora of unique techs
Great video, thanks for taking the time to explain all of this
How does WOLOLO work in AOE4?
Monks have to carry a relic and will convert all units in a radius, and has a longer cool down as well.
@@cerberus4545 I have now seen a few Wololos now. It's pretty much a game ending move that could remove your entire army.
gg
Why isn't beasty doing it all the time?
@@TremereTT because you can just pull your units away, it's much harder to do than it looks
and if they have ranged units they can just snipe your monk
All units 10% hp. The castle age bonus is better. 15% movement speed for ALL units (including workers.) is a better combat bonus and a better Econ bonus that 10% hp. It’s best to hit imperial dynasty, then turn around and build the castle age map hacks for the speed bonus
Lol Beasty is funny, 50 minutes is a short video? What is a medium vidro then, a 2 hour long film? lmao
Just for the record, im watching this because its beasty, im not a fan of AoE XD
Have fun Beasty.
Valuable vid. I It would be even better if you very briefly mentioned + and - of civ you are picking on the start of game. I guess on stream ppl are better informed since they see more. But here on YT with occasional video we would be better in if you just say - I choose this civ because of this and this. I also have to be careful about this and that. At lease in this transitional stage.
Also should mention Mongols get 2nd best Springald range upgrade if you have the Stone to spare for it.
DOBAR VIDEO
beasty, is that a mug or a salad bowl? its fucking huge
When AoE4 just came out, I thought the whole dev team is French.
Ty
there is no way to rename the channel to Beastyqt_ProfessionalVideoGamerPotatoe or something instead of BeastyQtSC2 right?
also your twitch still says you're only an sc2 player, just fyi
@49:40 does the imperial officer really speed up the resource collection at a given building when he supervises? I don't see any evidence that they do that, which would mean either they speed up the villagers themselves or the building invflates what the vill turns in. I thought it only helps w upgrade speed and unit production.
It magically adds 20% extra resources to the dropped off amount.
Like steppe redoubt does.
If you like Terran, you will love Mongols.
been following you for a long time. this video helps me get into your new game.
Rus weakness is no stone walls that's about it
How many apm does AoE take compared to Starcraft? I played a lot of Starcraft in the past but now I mostly play warhammer 2 which is a lot less micro intensive but each action is more important because units are less responsive so you’re often committing to a battle. Micro has never been my strong suit, but with some practice I can usually average around 200/230 apm when playing Zerg. I guess I’m asking because sometimes i find Starcraft very tiring emotionally and physically and I’m wondering if I should also make the jump to AoE.
You could say I'm very new to RTS games, I've had very limited experience in WC3 and AoE3.
AoE4 was a bit hard at first but I would say it's a bit more relaxed now that I know what I'm doing lol.
I honestly don't know much about my APM but it's probably below average lol
I’m glad to hear new people are coming to the rts genre, honestly apm isn’t something you should worry about because it comes naturally with practice. I’m glad to hear I don’t need to worry to much though. I’m just way to competitive for my own good.
The answer here lies in how long beasty streams. His sc2 stream duration is 3 hours on average, simply because he was totally exhausted afterwards. With AoE4 it's 7+ hours on average.
It's slower, and thus strategy is more important. Micro plays a smaller role in AoE, and although it can give you an advantage it's not necessarily crucial. The benefit of multi tasking abilities, and multi pronged attacks while macroing is pretty universal in rts. So you might find yourself with the same amount of APM, but less of that spent on microing small units. That might be less exhausting, I'm not sure. (This is based on what I've seen and heard on stream, I haven't played AoE4 myself)
@@cascade_fury thanks!
@Beasty it's pre-let not pree-late
Could that cup be larger?
need to boost that mic volume
Beasty you are my favourite Russian video game gamer except for MaxPax and David Kim, looking forward to the reign of AOE4 and the inevitable Scout only to grandmaster. добар дан
Brutal vid for learn, a lot of tnx. Keep !
Avilo said when he plays a game he's the only strength. Everybody else is weekness and cannot beat him in a game unless they hack or stream snipe. If I recall beastyqt beat avilo.
Beastyqt has a lot of map control, a very consistent player.
Fish and... chips? Yumm
I need this video, thank you!
Abbasid counter rus horse archers with camels 😉
For some reason it doesn’t seem like the camels debuff applies to horse archers. Just watched a game stream where Aussie_Drongo was shocked to find that out
19:57 fish 'n chips :p
Good stuff brudder.
Hey Beasty this is great!!
Gaymers! oO
Hre is best
good stuff, thanks Beasty!
How do you stop the early longbow rush please?
Horsemen, and archers if they start making spearmen.
@@cerberus4545 Thanks
Don't forget Towers!
YEEES thank you
Thanks!
Thanks!
4:41 Isnt the purpose of the Pikes(the special Longbow ability) to deny the Archer-Chavalry counter?
No. Spearmen counter cavalry but are countered by archer. To counter archers you use cavalry, men-at-arms or siege.
@@loudradialem5233 No, I meant the special ability the Englsih Longbows have
@@ChaosRevealsOrder it can only stop the charge attack from the front. Cavalry can still hit them from the back and if they move the stakes disappear.
@@loudradialem5233 Thx for the replay
@@ChaosRevealsOrder Plus Knights have a lot of armor so long bow men aren't a reliable counter for them.
All if this is fine and well, but the main problem is:
Watching is very boring in Age4 compared to other RTS.
Lol noob, no, China worker production isn’t 30% faster in song dynasty… its 35% reduced worker build time. It’s the equivalent of 50% faster. 2TC=3TC exactly
This is what a lot of your viewers have been asking for. This could have been very helpful if it came two weeks ago before all the videos of you crushing the ladder. But better late than never. Love your insights. Also, a lot of your subscribers are SC2 players, so this video is more meaningful than those long fights that looked fun but probably didn't make sense to the SC2 players. Thanks for this video.
I'm sure he had to build up expirience to be able to make this video. So two weaks ago wouldn't have worked.
Uuhhh the F? Completely wrong. You want open flat maps for China. Dry Arabia is your best friend, that and water maps. China has best castle and imperial age naval units
This is not Starcarft 2
we will miss Sc2
Or not
From what I get, he's not entirely quitting, but might be a long while before he touch SC2 again.
@@DeDaux I don't like to play a game whose matches last, on average, 1 hour
@@andreab6842 It's okay, you don't have to play it :)
Really??1 hour on average ??
I would like to see videos about different openers (first 5-10 mins) with different civs
