Age of Empires 4 - The Lategame Is So Much Better! 

Also finally fix the damn monk bug. Im tired of my holy man not buffing my villagers.

@@berserk1934 and spearmen brace bug

Start with making regnitz catherdal a monestary, a bit annoying having to build a monestary just for prelate upgrade

What's the worst pronunciation you've heard (so far)?

@@JH-nb6nw Lenz-kuh-necht. "ch" in german can be pronounced both as "sh" or as this raspy, throat cancer noise that's used nowhere in the english language. There's no rule that says when which pronunciation is correct so it's guess-work. Landsknecht uses the "sh" sound so i'd write it phonetically in english as "Lunds-knasht". An example for the raspy "ch" would be Achtung if you ever heard that. Edit: pronunciation, not pronounciation

@@towelie5997 No insult, but are you native German? ‚ch‘ is only ‚sh‘ when in combination with an ‚s‘ (‚sch‘). ‚Landsknecht‘ doesn’t have the ‚s‘, right? Maybe in a few German dialects the ‚ch‘ turns into something similar to the English ‚sh‘, but not in common German.

@@HellOnToastbrot I am and you're right, there's a difference between "ch" and "sch" but it's relatively small and i didn't know how to explain it better to an english speaker. I think english doesn't have our "soft ch" pronunciation as well as the "raspy ch" so "sh" was the closest aproximation i could think of to try to explain it. It's not perfect but it's really hard to talk about that stuff accurately in writing.

@@towelie5997 Ouch that's horrible indeed, just give me either the Dutch or German one lol

heavy armor pikeman would be dope

They *technically* have a special Halberdier with their Spears being able to get +3 Melee armour via an Imperial age tech. It gives you a very cheap frontline unit that can hold it's ground agaisnt most enemies, even MMA. They won't beat the MMA, but they'll last a lot longer, allowing you to invest more ressources into other units like siege. It's a really cool and fun tech to have, being able to swarm with very cheap units to block your enemy while you advance with siege behind. My only gripe with this is that the tech is Imperial age, I feel it would open more strategies if it was available in Castle Age.

I thought landsknechts are useless until I had to build them for the mastery. The are absolutely nuts in greater numbers. But your point is obviously correct. They need to get in melee range and thats probably very hard against mass archers and mangonels. However if they do hit melee range they absolutely melt through anything. Check the video of noob of empires. He compared landsknecht to other units, maa for example. Even though they die faster the outcome of a mixed battle was the same or in favor of landsknechts. So i guess they aren't useless but you really need to watch out for the enemys comp. However, they excel in greater numbers. Small numbers just die before doing anything.

Their men at arms wreck

@@Jascosaurus yep, though i wish they can get tankier (they’re mad when buffed by prelate though, but it’s somewhat bugged rn)

For AOE3. He has some competition with AOE4 because of SOTL.

I really like this idea. Increasing the damage could make them destroy buildings too fast, but to reduce the effectiveness of repairing creates a very interesting mechanic.

yeah that's what made me wonder, I wld've traded the shit outta that match

Yeah. Late game Kelazhur had 50~ pop space, 2k+ food and 1,3k+ wood and ZERO Markets. Might've been an oversight but it coulda helped him greatly specially with such secure trade lines.

Unfortunately there wasn't a lot of margin left, keep in mind that his opponent had siege superiority and currently pushing with cannons while Kelazhur was completely out of gold and using Age 2 Archers. He wasn't able to match or stop Beasty. Had he transitionned over to trading earlier, he would have had a better chance but he thought he could claim the center with his castles.

China was completely out of gold. No way to compete in economy.

Hahahaha it must be your first game from him.

LOL

He should just pronounce it the Dutch way instead. Get that guttural G in. (:

Thanks for sharing

Crusaders didnt like that much either during the crusades. England didnt like that very much during American revolution either......

Hre eco's better and gets better bang for it's buck than china. Prelate 40% impOf: 20% max 4 IO's While HRE has prelates ready to grab relics on age 3 completion. MAA of the HRE are really strong vs most chinese stuff forcing them to go mass crossbows which makes them predictable. Regnitz, palace of swabia Springald nerfs also hit china really hard. It's a lot harder to defend yourself vs mango's as china now. NoB's are still underperforming in comparrison (even after the buffs), just due to the nature of the differences between them. (Range, projectile speed, accuracy and the one being a volley while the other barages) Late game culvs just make things nearly untennable for china unless you have bombard mass + hp upgrades + reload drills + pyro But HRE outperforms china on every step there. It's a gruesome and unpleasant matchup for china.

I was thinking the exact same thing. just Baneling split your MAA and attack from a wider arc

Ok

git gud

In Australia we all say it like "hage". I might be biased but it makes more sense to me seeings "hage" actually starts with the letter H

He should instead pronounce it the Dutch way. Get that guttural G going.

NERF chi-na before Nerf Mog and Russ? WTF man?
