Age of Empires 4 - Zhu Xi Legacy Fast Castle Guide 

Drongo, for your knowledge, viper is back on aoe4. Don't let us wait too long for a good old viper casting

thanks for your content Drongo, my friends and i watch your casts every night after work on xbox and it’s a great getaway from work. thank you 🙂

Currently my fav new Civ, thanks for the build!

Thanks for the guide, its helpful drongo

bro drongo your vids are so good always explaining the macros and micros in detail! this will help me alot in ranked

That is insane !

The shaolin monks are probably going to get some of the resources converted to gold at some point it seems crazy that they only cost food

for some reason after i age up to castle i cant build the other moument to get to song dynasty

Love. ❤

when do you make more imperial officials?

how do you do the force drop off without crowding a sheep?

Now let's do 8 minute Imperial Age.

I will not watch Mr. Drongo at work before I play the expansion. I will not watch Mr. Drongo at work before I play the expansion. I will not watch Mr. Drongo at work before I play the expansion. I will not watch Mr. Drongo at work before I play the expansion. whoops

Mate do you know if the garden landmark still provides the free resources once the nearby resources have run out?

Maaan, I'm trying as hard as I can and the earliest I can do is 7-8 minutes for castle, I just don't have enough food to do that and to be producing villagers at the same time, am I missing something? Also when do you get your wheelbarrow upgrade?

The Shaolin monks of this civ are OP. Nothing counters them😅

does meditation gardens work on boar / deer

Zhu Xie is pretty strong prob the strongest of the new civs imo because of all the eco bonuses. They aren't as safe without the barbican but my god can you age up fast. Japan is probably the worst imo with all their unit feeling quite underwhelming except for their knights which are pretty good but I think Japan needs a feudal buff of some sort. They feel like a dark age civ in feudal

How does one eject relics from a monastery on Xbox?

This is what I assumed this civ would get used for when i first saw the tang bonus. Sure you can save 400 resources on your farming, or you can get a trash unit early that beats spearmen/horsemen/archers and denies the enemy at least 225 passive resources per minute while gaining 375 per minute prior to tithe barns being possible (after tithe barns its more like 700.) Song dynasty gives you a low hanging fruit but this gives you a millitary rush (Shaolin Monks,) a tech edge (Castle,) and an economic boon (Relics) all at the same time, and you still have the song bonus before you need farms. Now here is the real kicker, if you fast yuan the pagodas you get are going to become production buildings for the monks, and you are getting 250 per minute from the relics. So you start getting. - Enough stone for a town center every two minutes between the meditation garden and your pagodas. - Four buildings spitting out shaolin monks. - Six super imperial officials. - A savings of something absurd like 630 on your landmarks. You would need to have build 22 farms for a bigger savings from going song. So you have a strong regenerating damage sponge as the core of your army, simple macro, and enough gold to go as gold heavy on the rest of your composition as your can dream of.... And you still can go song.

Ayyubids is cheaper to age up but, only once :D

Amigo, tardo 18 minutos en subir a castillos 😢, subes muy rapido , yo distribuyo mal mis aldeanos

❤

Getting rushed by Ayubids / French completely wrecks this build. It's a greedy gamble play.

How do you even counter this? Just lost against this nonsens as the OG HRE, i made knights but soon as they make some spears they become useless. Not to mention, that they hit castle even faster then og HRE, so by the time my first knight comes up they already have there monks running back with the relics. No fudal unit can stand against them and MMA are to slow and are still to weak.

Is Yuan discount also apply for religious units, siegs?

waaaait a second they start with 200 wood????? hahahahaha the fuckign power creep.

Castle age at 6 minutes is absurd.

I didn't know it was pronounced juicy

How exactly is a monk that can solo 2 horsemen ok?

Drongo pls don't say that farms are cheaper than the english ones because that is objectively wrong. Just say they have a better wood eco (and that is even better than cheap farms!)

riight hahaha Imagine with an actually good build. The power creep is real. They changed it on release no? It used to spawn with 5 villagers and an IO. Not that chinese spawn with an IO... xdd whatever
