Enemy Going For A Wonder? That's a GOOD Thing! 

Hey @Aussie_Drongo, Purple Here (or LordHierarchArtanis), it was a fun game. one of the reasons why i did what i did in this game was due to prior games where my king got sniped or I was on full turtle mode grabbing stone and making my king surrounded by cannon towers before moving out (which after watching the video i am kicking myself for since you didn't even have military production at 16 mins). I also didn't know it was you since this was the one game i didn't check the leaderboard while loading in, but i did have my suspicions due to how fast u were typing. if you were wondering why pink was in my base before u then it was because i almost sniped his monarch and he retaliated very harshly, but then he likely spotted ur near 200 pop army and likely decided u were the bigger threat and i was telling the truth, which was slightly correct. TBH i was more scared of Japan than i was of u (even if i didn't know it was you in the zhu shi) since i saw in a previous game crackedy pretty much get almost pushed in by a 300 pop Japan when he was english with 400 pop. My reasoning was simple after Japan was fighting u: go full gremlin and grab as many resources off the map for an eventual wonder and potential snipe. You could see my enclaves across most of the map. The lulls between the japanese attack on your base was him trying to root out my infestations that were gobbling up his resources and doing a push into my base that destroyed my 3 landmarks. I probably looked so weak to him that he didn't even bother making a stone wall surrounding the wonder. As for your push onto my wonder? well i didn't know you were struggling with lag, but i did wonder why you were targeting some non- essential locations. i did know for a fact that I could hold the wonder and my last landmark as I had done it before when I faced a 400 pop Ottoman when i was only 200 population with 40 eco units and won. Anyways, GG and see ya in the next FFA.

The pain I felt of you sitting at 200 popp for so long when you could of been 250

Can we just appreciate the 4 short stone walls at the bottom part put there to funnel you into the outposts?

there is a number on the upper left corner that shows you your maximum pop

How much stoneeee did this guy use damn

Great game. Loved it. Amazed by the intellectual of the purple player and efficient use of resources.

Drungo never fails to be hilarious and I can never track where his thinking is going xD. was not expecting that beginning hahahaha

a lot of your granery farms end up not being worked after you boom. I think you send vills to build house or age up and then send them somewhere else, idk. Like minute 27 you went from 40 or so on food to 16 and said where's my food.

Too many smart devices in your house are taking up all the bandwidth.

In this trebs needed. Along with bombards. If trebs there the bombards aim to units. Trebs for destroyinf the towers. Then why not research either imperial guard plus the yuan riders or at least the roar of dragon tech so you have the fire lance for your horsemen and spearsmen in order to destroy those defenses. I see none of the rams

You mentioned purple should be low on resources after building a wonder, but you never checked if he had villagers in the top of the map collecting……you let him continue to collect

People should get points according to their placement, I never understood why only the winner gets something. It would also encourage people to stay in the games for longer and fight tooth and nail instead of admitting defeat early on.

I love that you can hear the echoes of bombards from across the map, it lets you know when people are fighting in the end game and it's such cool sound design.

Fun videos man. I love watching you play and get such entertaining games.

Mate, bravo for playing on with all that lag. There were moments I was sure you'd throw in the towel but wp for playing on. Banger of a game!

Play Rus, please! Love them.

LMFAO!! That start setting purple up! I loved that

If only drongo send some scouts around the map. Couldve killed the purple vills in the north to shut down his eco. Plus you only attacked from one sidr instead sending in some rams from different sides to distract him

It was my suggestion !so proud! but I don't expect you to remember a french name anyway ^^

Drongo playing two games here - AoE and Mind Games.

Love to see Australia's quality internet connection to AoE4's quality servers this game. Pink's push was a bit of a drain on resources. I'm surprised you went for purple when you saw pink turn his attention towards you.

Amazing lost

43:38 "I don't know if its service, i don't know if it's me" -- I feel you drongo but what's worse is watching you have lag while im having lag loading video on my end. 😮‍💨

1:05:24 You can fully connect your walls with the enemy walls!??? Idk that!

Great game to watch!!! Drongo the Deceiver stikes again! 😏 However, he was out deceived by purple! 😮

I'm new to AOE but man, these vids awesome to watch.

Legendary hold with that lag

My internet: *lagging* Drongo's game: *lagging* *SAM NEIL SCREAM*

I hit that like button before I even watch the vid!! Know it’s gonna be good!

Bro so painful to see u didnt go for sacred victory, would've been the most intelligent decision imo 😢

Drongo you need to get on the map more and mine out stone and gold earlier instead of going 60 vills on wood after youve transitioned to farm boom. Also in that last fight with purple i think you should have slow pushed in waves after remaxing each time and also looked for his eco to kill it

could have capture the sacared sites before the 10min mark, giving he can't move his towers =w=. But nice game

Did Purple just have like 90k each resource or something at the end? How does he have money and stone to build so much and then just spam endless army at the end as well?

The connection losts are frustrating lol

need to go mass Imperial Guard one of these days

Man, that was some serious lag.. What GPU did you switch to?

Are trebuchets that bad or why never see you using them? I think in this hard to crack tower bases they are quite useful

LOL Drongo lost to Drongo.... BTW did anyone mention to attack at Wonder at corner, Trebs are the units to go!?

@Aussie_Drongo Excellent game, really enjoyed it. Would it have made a difference if you collected relics when you killed people. I think the gold given by the relics till the end of the game, could have made a difference. Also, is it really a good idea to spawn more farms, if the existing farms are not getting worked on. I probably is a trade off between the time it takes to moke the vills to the existing farms to creating new farms where the vills are currently located?

YOu get farms drongo. You just use food vills to build and when they dile you send them somewhere else and leave farms empty

Can you plz turn on player scores?

Waaaaaay better than dark age challenge

I can't stand no line of sight early on!

I don't understand why Drongo doesn't trade or take scared sites. He just keeps using workers to mine gold when there is no point. After 58:00 when he literally defeated Pink and had 15 minutes to set up trade with middle market, but chooses not to trade. All he needed was 30 to 40 on trade and he could've won by resources and attrition. I feel like every game Drongo lost is because he is actively being over aggressive or does not/ forgot to trade during late game

Absolute meat-grinder, what a game

BING CHILING

I challenge you to make an order of the dragon ffa match.

It is frustrating that you can win in this game in such stupid way. Should be some solution to OP siege

get survival instincts if no food, ya?

Is it dishonest when playing poker and you bluff? You gave them a true statement as well... "drongo is in our lobby"

It's sad when i'm screaming at the screen, and I notice drongo complaining about not enough villagers on food, when he's got 36 farms, next to granarys, and only have 13 vills on em, then proceeds to make another 36, with mills, sad game, slow down your game drongo! you can see more with your eyes open

deception is one thing, but that were too many lies for my taste

had +50 pp all game nice game

350 pop you are still losing, it's mad!! You have no enough prod buildings.

If you had used scouts better you would have won the game.

Durango i think you don't respect enough who you playing. You have enough for bombard towers and keeps. Early towers and keeps keep you safe while your raiding. Pink backstab you which was smart. But he should have finished you as much as possible and then wonder. Or you had towers and a keep you would have been good to get all your army back in time. And purple used that time to build and snipe pink. And pink should not have went wonder. Pink had no walls or towers. It's like when you build a dock on water, you know eventually it is going to get attack. And i don't know why the meta is not build a dock and tower, if not build a dock and tower both sides. As you grow dock tower. With a tower on each dock bombarded your fleet is safe because you can hide under it with your fleet.

:D

Stop building faaaaaarms 😭😭 you pulled so many vills from granarys and then built mills and more farms when you had perfectly good unoccupied farms hahaha first time I've been mad at a video

Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household.” Then they spoke the word of the Lord to him and to all who were in his house. Friends life is short and tomorrow isnt promised, accept JESUS tonight, no matter of past mistakes and sin. HE WILL FORGIVE YOU!

Your scouting is painful to watch. Scouts develop your strategy.

why do you not continue to build farms close to the granaries for the bonus instead of all over the place?

Bruh the amount of granary farms with no villager farming was absurd!🫠
