Age of Empires 4 - The Mongol Trade Boom Is BUSTED 

To further explain about Mongols, Yam Network gives +15% movement speed bonus under presence of outposts. If unit leaves its presence, the bonus lasts for 20 seconds. This bonus only applies to traders and cavalry. However if you research Yam Network upgrade at any outpost, that bonus starts to apply to every unit you have. It even works for packed buildings, ships and villagers as well. For the Kurultai, regeneration and damage bonus is always on(even in combat) so long as Khan is within its influence zone. 30 seconds duration timer for damage bonus starts when units or Khan leaves its influence zone. Regeneration goes off instantly when units or Khan leaves the zone.

I got to say man, I've watched a lot of age2 and starcraft casting, and I've got to say you're as good or better than t90 and lowko at casting in general. And you are far better than t90 at casting age4, you seem to have the majority of the mechanics down and are not only personable but super knowledgable, I hope you become there premier age4 caster. Cheers man!

Daut favorite civ in AOE4 is Mongols because he can't have his keep/castle denied XD

my first game with Mongols: "Trade seems really good with the Ovoo." Second game: "I love GOOOOLD!"

I'm honestly really enjoying what AoE 4 brought about in bridging the different AoE communities, i always followed you and samurai for AoE 3 and TheViper, DauT, Hera and others for AoE 2, but it always felt like there was a line of separation between the playerbases, and now seeing stuff like you and TheViper duking it out, or a video of yours analyzing DauT's play is a dream come true

When Daut wins, he wins decisively. 10/10 strategy.

There is a good video called "The RTS Esport That Refuses To Die - Age of Empires II" that helps go into detail as to why Daut is known as the Lord, essentially he's been playing it since 2001 and has been among the top players ever since.

Are you going to finish the civ guides Drongo? You made the English one, where are the rest?

The monastery is for the prelate upgrades. Double healing, warrior inspiration and extra health are needed if you want to effectively use them in combat. The HRE player did not have the resources to do so, though. Tough spot.

While Lord Daut is not the creator, he is the one who showed us the way 20 years ago and, once again, shall show us the hidden truths of AoE4. Through his teachings shall we all elevate ourselves to pure enlightenment.

Other civs: Strong timing push with units and siege to all in base. Mongols: Later nerds!

13:00 the Cathedral counts as a monastery only for the purposes of storing relics and providing increased gold value. The monastery is necessary to research technologies related to prelates, such as the ones that allow you to inspire your army or the ones giving him 40 extra health.

Best part is, once the oovoo is down and he has map control, the mongrels can pack up the silver tree and move it further away to make the trade route better

You have to add the outposts on the trade route too, so you can speed up your merchants with the Yam Network tech. This is really good!

Love the explanations and ideas you put in the cast. Looking Forward to See More of the wololo wisperer

I’ve been playing mongols with the traders a lot… but I did not know so many things you mentioned in this video. The yam upgrades applying to traders, the trading tiers, the sheer amount of traders (I only ever just rush 6 out and call it a day lol). Very helpful video!

I love the UWU mechanics such a fun civ to play 11

Never heard about the 'Lord' meme but the self concious explanation made it really nice and fun.

Best AoE4 caster.

I am so happy to see many of the big names making the effort to develop the mp meta in 4

0:21 drongo says UwU 😂 Never thought I would witness drongo saying UwU

Daut's power level when he doesn't need to micro:

Mongol healing fountain is so sick to back up the Mangudai push

So glad I found Drongo since this game released

I feel like Jordan isnt fully aware of everything he can do here too. He doesnt emergency repair and doesn't get the right kind of armour.

I've been trying to hit mastery on mongols since it released, honestly one of the funnest factions to play

From AoE2 - glad to find a great Age4 content creator!

im surprise he just didnt send some heavy cav to just dunk on the trade. Those magudai don't have a lot of attack so at least you could kill tons of traders before they died

think it would be a nice addition if you mentioned the map at the beggining of the match along with introducing players

they reminded me of the night elves from warcraft 3, enemy attacking your base? pack up and run away!

The heal is negligible at best. Something around one health every second and a half. The main bonus is the increased damage that's persistent as long as they're nearby the monument.

stone and tech and everything revolves aaround ovoo

big thing the dude forget here, he could just replace his market at top of map, so his TC would be in middle of all and the whole trade road would kinda well protected anyways and he could get alot more !! Mongols r as crazy as rus ,in some cases even crazier.

DauT is a genius

Fun fact: you can put your TC at your ovoo to make 2x villagers at a time too

In fact, if DAut move the market far away after make 7 units, you have enough for jump to castle age XD

Good to see word about our lord and savior DauT being spread.

THE LORD himself

He build the religious building to research the prister buff villigar with work and buildspeed

Lord Daut hahahah keep the memes comin

Hi, Drongo, a suggestion, it would be good if you could include the map seed in the description so the rest of us could try it out ourselves!!

0:15 I don’t understand tbh, he could have parked next to the gold and the forest. Or is it that good to save that extra second?

So.. tower rush the trading post?

whenever I play vs an AI and start with mass horse archers, they're just countered by spears protecting mass archers wouldnt that have been an option for HRE? or are their cav option too good to pass up?

man your videos are soooooooooo good.

You know u can pack up and move the Silver Tree farther away to get more gold right?

Did they nerf the speed that the ovoo gathers stone? Mine goes so much slower lol

Need a Daut Castle

I've seen 200 gold off a trade route lol :) but this may be 2v2

FWIW, I think "ovoo" is pronounced something like owo (with the "o" sounding like the vowel in "caught"). In English, I think rhyming with "oboe" is probably how it's meant to be pronounced.

amazing!

Against the mongols you must go for archers or crossbow to deal with the mangudai. Can't go for just barracks in the age 2

It is exactly the sound of OWO except it has 2 "OO"s. So OWOO xD The Mongols always need wood, to build pasture, train units cost heavily. That is the main reason why Daut wants his tc close to wood. And never pick Holy Roman Empire against the Mongols. There is a reason why the Byzantines couldn't reach Rus.

Best AOE 4 castor

Maximum trade gold pre-buffs on a micro (1v1) map is 100 btw, with the mongol silk roads and neutral trade buff I think the max would be 131

With 9 traders buffed by yam you literally can’t spend the resources fast enough.

I think you missed something on that armor analysis. Coming from AoE2, it's really easy to make the assumption that the armor techs are "for this category of unit" not "for this type of armor"...

When an AoE3 pro casts a game of two AoE2 pros on AoE4 xD

Textbook DRUBBING

how would you counter this - just pressure the trade route with slower units?

how many ovoos can i have? i tried yesterday when i built multiple ovoos my previous ones just self-decontructed...

HRE should have walled the trading post after he scouted the silver tree. What can Mangudai do against walls?

You can talk about why the liser lost. And what could he have done better.

How do you use the Khan? Is he just spawned or is it a unit? I havent played them yet but i wonder how it works. I might start playing mongols

Meanwhile I play that as SimCity . Taking my time to build everything single building.. lol

Wait a sec....how do you get the score during the game? Is that only for replays?

gold per minute goes up linearly due to time traveled.

More Mongol vids!!! >

i like Ovu. In my mother tongue Ovu sound like "Oh! boob" which easier to remember.

If you'd like to know the pronunciation for "ovoo," it's a long "o" sound, like in "dog," and the "v" is more a cross between a "v" and a "w" (leaning more "w," like in "win") ~ rough IPA transcription: /ɔw̜ɔː/

DauT is our lord and saviour. Praise our Lord.

keeping the trade line that short seems weird. it should be pretty easy for mongols to move the market/Silver tree into the corner.

0:26 UWU

How do you counter mangudai?

Welp that does it I am only playing Mongols 🤤 Do Mongols get spears? Daut could have prompted the GG 3 minutes sooner lol it always crazy

Lord

Maybe Twitch not saying hi to youtube because you didn't have the chat shared?

the only S T R trading civilization.

I guess HRE should have gone archers to counter mangudai?

Mongolians can’t pack up their outposts tho :(

OVOO: it is mean Овоо ..

Infantry get rekt by almost anything: archers, cavalry, mangonel, town center.

It's pronounced uwu. :3

Ahh I remember my love for this series. But, I haven't played in a while. Not sure if I'm really interested with the series anymore. I guess I've just turned to grand strategy games mostly. Manor Lords seems like a promising game.

no spears vs mongols is not a tactic to use

I haven’t played but have watched many matches, it seems the mangudai are just…too weak?

Here's the thing, I don't really see why you'd go with the trade landmark over the Yam network. As far as I know you need the Deer Stones landmark to get it, so you cannot have both the Yam network and the market landmark. Obviously the yam network is completely broken for anything military related (spreads from outposts too). Kinda like zerg Creep, and we all know how good that is in SC I hope. But secondly, Yam network will ALSO boost your trade. Simply put outposts on the route to the market and your traders will zoom along like they're formula 1 cars.

Age of Empires 2 was keeping us safe from DuaT's true power

Guys say feudal age knights are op but nobody is talking about Mongol trade which is actually op.

Im a little surprised that this was a high-elo game. All Jordan had to do was mass cheap age II archers to win the early game. Im 1250 elo and have beaten this 🤔🤔

Its called UwU isnt it? 0:25

I think since the first TC is a landmark, it can't be destroyed only made dormant, and the repairing vills were bringing it back from dormancy immediately

it's not a bug, you should't be able to see what's on the other side of that tiny forest. unless u have units or any building. It so clear I don't get why people think it's a bug

Seems like it's still more worthwhile to get the deer stones and just build a market at your ovoo, then you get the imperial age yam network upgrade in feudal age and you only delay your first 2 traders by 10-12 seconds. Which you make back that gold by not having to spend 700 gold on the upgrade in age 4.

Played 0AD yesterday. Age of Empires 4 is basically AoE3 0AD-fied.

it's pronounced UwU

Comparing the traits of the Mongols with the HRE is showing how bad the balancing is right now! Jordan didn't play too well to be fair, but it feels unfair nontheless ;)

give me more Mongol pls

It's not bugged... it's a feature, called a stealth forest. Ambushes can come from there.

HRE and english having the worst knigths in the game.................. Its like the devs havent seen a 15th century european knight fully encased in steel. How on earth can mongol heavy cav be equal to that
