Age of Empires 4 - The BEST Abbasid Build Order 

My morning coffee...thanks 🤟

Most exciting thing I saw this game was having the prelates shown seperately like the chinese IO. Biggest QoL improvement for HRE by far!

Nice matchup to see! Landsknecht mass is always a mistake. Was expecting preemptive Springalds to come out from the HRE, as this Abbasid composition was perfect. Also, isn't it nice to watch an age 3 battle? No bombard spam. Ahh, beautiful!

That Thumbnail is a hate crime xD

Finally a great Abbasid highlevel play! thank you

Non-Germans still fighting with the word Landsknecht 😄

2:40 and 13:35 is what you came for.

very good game, good commentary. Like that you've stopped dropping the F-bomb and forgetting words, the medication is working.

R.I.P to all german teachers 🤣.

"Landschnekt" in the thumbnail? Haha nice one Drongo :)

That was a brutal attack backed by a ridiculous villager count lead.

Who else is from germany and had a minor stroke while reading the thumbnail?

Just in case you would actually want try to pronounce Landsknecht. You can slightly pause between lands/knecht. To adjust your tongue since the 'kne' isn't familiar. So Lands - just like you say it in english, except pronounce the 'a' as you would in 'fAlling'. LAnds. Drop the K hammer. It comes abruptly and clearly. Directly followed by necht. And the 'ch' is what everyone makes fun of german for. Sounds like an angry cat. Chhhhh. Not sh/sch. Its throaty but can be quite soft. Quick T to end it off. LAndsKnechht. That's my best attempt at explaining it. Good luck. Either way, you'll have me laughing in your next video. ✌️You're doing some awesome gamecasts

Dang! I would have loved to see just some crossbows to harass this MAA rather than the landschnect, still tho, nice to see Abassid actually have a viable strat.

nicely done. The HRE needed crossbowmen

Lesson: dont go into age3 without siege

i love how you pronounce the Landsknecht, it's so funny lmao (i'm german btw)

Man, when was the last time HRE won in a 1v1, Drongo? :(

Great cast. Thanks Aussie.

Can you explain why he did two town centers in feudal? Price wise doesn’t the house cost way less but still counts as “1 building”?

Drongo hates HRE confirmed

damn, never thought about going MAA into HRE. Given that they just have better MAA it seemed liked a losing strategy. Granted haven't had much luck with other strategies, lol.

Dude he did nyan cat perfect

A nyancat impersonation for the ages, Drongo

Drongo why don't you put out more build guides i would love that!

do camel archers get bonus damage vs landsknecht

think Abbasid should get cheaper fishing boats instead of docks. Also, one more landmark, idc if it doesn't do anything, its just hard when you only have 2 life lines and you can't even hide you house of wisdom cuz of the golden age, and I swear the Camel Archer is broke and way overpriced. The being able to build any sige in the field really don't matter, its still full price and depending can take longer to build then just have 3 or 4 workshops.

Would this build order work against fighting a civ that puts alot of presure in feudal age like English or France? I dont think you would even be able to get a second tc up right?

drives me nuts to see pros not stone wall. Theres only 3 spots he has to wall and it only costs 60+60+120, thats 240 less than a TC and ur completely secure till they build seige. By then you're able to build and actually benefit off of triple tc

It's crazy how often these high ranked players seem to forget to queue their free upgrades when playing Abbasid

Love your videos drongo 👏

ayy lets go abbasid lets go drongo

By the way, there's no e between the k and n in Landsknecht and the ch is more of a voiceless velar fricative.

Hate to see HRE not using their Emergency Repairs on Towers and Keeps lol

dang, been playing Abbasid a lot lately and thought 2 TC by 9 minutes was decent but 3 seems greedy, especially for how little he scouted. I did not see any military until 10 minutes, a more aggressive HRE, France, Mongols, or English could have severely punished that. Still, if you can get away with it- not sure what could beat it except a lot of siege and crossbows which HRE by going heavy into farms did not have enough wood to do here.

Breng on the Abbasid buffs

My OCD - Hearing people claim they have OCD because they don't like something.

wait is beta still going on I was never able to get into for some reason.

Mass infantry was a huge misplay, all he had to do was massing crossbows, getting like 2 3 springalds, the knights in the back vs siege was fine too. Just goes to show, landsknecht is amazingly useless and underpowered. It's supposed to counter mass infantry and it can't.

Hey drongo do you know why the ranked mode is not open for me?

When do you stream Drongo?

Re Landsknecht, drop the K sound. Pretend the letter isn't there. Also Land instead of L + and, it's more like L + ahnd (think British "and" vs Aussie "and"). The "ch" is pronounced closer to an "sh", but it's sort of half way between the two. That's the tricky bit. DW though, drop the K and change the "land" and you're 90% of the way there

Great Video as alway! But can you please look up how to pronaunce LANDSKNECHT, that would make it even better.

try Lance-connect but without pronouncing the o in connect👍🏼 I know german words look like random letters randomly mashed together😆

how can i watch this replay myself?

my man drongo we can see how long the game is from the vid

didnt think u could get dmca'd for Nyan cat but i guess these days its better to play safe

Do you miswrite Landsknecht by purpose?

Needed to gamble a wololo

xbow and springald combo would have shut this down pretty fast

Hey now stop sharing my Abbasid secrets

Can we expect a video on the new AOE 3 DE update. You remember the game that launched your channel?

it is LANDSKNECHT!!!!!!!!!!!

the fact that we can run straight to siege and torch it down ignoring the front line and still hold is bugging me... abbasid could get it up back again at the spot.. but imagine the frustration of players who cant... its just annoying...

Stops us seeing the length of game at the beginning, video is 21 mins long....... bit of a clue :)

Man please put the names of who you cast on the title or the thumbnail. Thx bro

Can you cast with fog off until they fix the Fog bug, I hate watching these because of it but loved watching the winter cast you guys did without fog. I don't mind you turning it on now and then to see who can see what but 80%-90% should be full view. I want to keep track on the mini map what people are doing when you jump away its really annoying. Makes me not able to watch more than like half your videos before it makes me click off. where I watched 100% of the EGCTV casts.

Landsknecht have aoe damage, they eat those man at arms like breakfast. But it's a low hp unit after all, if they get shot by mangonels it's gg. NYANCAT could have held with some spingalds poteintially.

im just a noob, but wouldnt landskencht+ scouts been good here?

Match just shows that siege is to strong ...
