I'm new to AOE 4 and this is the first time seeing a written build order. The visualization of both the video and the guide to follow along is super helpful! Your hardwork and dedication to teaching others is unmatched, thank you for the great guide!
Found your channel through the HRE Castle Rush Guide recently and figured you might have a Feudal Rush Guide for English too. Again a really nice video!
I just wanted to tell you that i really appreciate your channel. Very helpful and you have learned me even more than Beastyqt who was my previous favorite AOE4 teacher! Thank you :)
If you have forward gold you can optimize a bit your opening and send first new vil to sheeps and next 4 vils to the gold vein. Then you can build council hall and barracks on forward by those gold miners and have slightly better rush distance and timings overall
Now my favorite RU-vidr and Twitch stream for actually teaching how to play. Check him out on twitch if you can. He narrates what he is doing as he plays rather then just silence and hundreds of clicks per min.
I have tried Aussy Drongo’s (which I feel works better for team games), I have tried BeastyQT’s which I have seen some success but this one seems a lot simpler. Soon I will be looking to learn other civs. But I am holding out for Byzantine because I am very excited.
The creativity has been crushed out of this game. Maybe that will change with new civs. I don’t really feel like paying money to find out. Especially after I’ve been forced to buy this game twice.
Update and a question! I managed to get from platinum to diamond with your guides, awesome! I have a question though. When i use this feudal rush strategy, sometimes the opponents defend to well with army, walls, towers, and landmarks and i have a hard time doing any damage to them. What would you do in that situation? Tack från Sverige! :)
If opponent is turtling, consider either booming or going age 3 with Kings Palace and take relics. Those are your options if you can't do enough damage in feudal. One thing, that I think is fun to do, is on maps that have good trade posts (hill and dale, Altai,) you can add a single market, and go for a bit of extra eco (10 ish traders) while you build farms and go age 3 :)
Hey Valdemar, love the guide! Its really helpful to listen to your decision making and as a newish player its helping me understand the choices to make and helping me and hopefully my opponent have a good and fun game. A vague question though depending on what civ you are playing but lets say youre opponent is English and their rushing spearmen and longbowmen. How would you counter before the English begin to snowball. E.g. if you were the Ottoman player how would you have countered your longbow and spear snowball machine
great guide! but what if the enemy is playing mongols or malians, then i cant kill the villagers, because they are so close to the TC? i really struggle against them
is going the siege upgrade for your units to make rams worth? or is it better to go castle and fight there with the mass built up? Also is this Strat viable against rus and China? Just used this strat and almost beat a Conq 2 as a diamond 1. Great strat and video.
Nice guide! What do you do on maps where the wood line is less accessible than on this map (behind the TC)? Just pick a side and go either left or right around the TC?
I used to not like aggressive play style prefering to boom and mass but i find i have absolutely no idea what to do in late game. If i don't win early i lose track of my economy as villagers idle everywhere.
The difference is in scaling. Going for early upgrades begins scaling earlier but at the cost of military units. More units early can get a lot of value but it is always a decision made on the matchup and your style :)
I would love to see a Bronze to Conq playthrough where you take each civ to conq and explain the thought process each player should have with base maintenance, and pressuring the opponent. PiG does something similar for SC2. I would love for a strong AoE4 player to fill this niche for this game! Great try in Call to Arms btw hope you continue to push hard! Here is a link to get a feel for what i mean. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Tr1_8C6CjMQ.html
thanks for the guide valdemar, is going for sheeps even better than farms for english given that they have the bonuses (50% less wood cost for farms, 15% faster farm gathering rate)?
You use the sheep for as long as you can, slowly building farms. The idea is that you have more wood for military units and buildings in the early game.
English is extremely broken, can you please do a guide how to defend such broken Strat? English can attack and age at the same time. I can defend against this but that just means late game as Chinese I am too bruised to come back. My castle and and imperial timing will be off and then English will have another massive army that I will not be able to defend in late game
Well you won’t always as you would scout the enemy to see what there building and he even says this and if that’s the case you go archers which have better range (english) and men at arms instead of spears
Why would you make a barracks so fast when you do not even know if he will build horsemen? Isn't it better to invest into farms and only build it if needed?
Delete this. Or make a video countering this specific build. I know you already have an English counter video, but this is 40 units @ 10 minutes. Bruh.
