Everything you can do with relics in AoE4 

Note to self: if conceding and not the last one standing kill all my units and buildings

@@JDSileo or send them to you teamates.

Done that and they where French cavalry and i was HRE it gave us a huge edge

...wow! this is BIG!

Hello! Someone could help me? I don’t know is it a bug or whatever but I can’t put a relic into monastery - a monk just put close to building and that’s it. It stays close to the wall building so not producing something. I tried to do it playing England and Rus - the same thing…

Thanks for the info

Holy shit thanks for the info

Amazing idea to implement in that moment

You can also convert their town center bt garissoning villager inside I think?

You can also build their buildings and units with such captured forces!

Having witnessed the death of the holy man, the soldiers were overcome by solemnity and lost the will to fight, spending the rest of their days silently and immovably pondering the effects of their violent actions

Their prophet died and they form a new religion around it

The ausence of religion ends war, seems right to me

Same, the wording seemed to imply to me that it was a trade off but now that I know I get the gold too I’ll definitely be using that castle benefit

Still keep those in regnitz. When you are defending, mind that a relic in elzbach costs you 200 gold per minute

@@berkut3919 oh yeah I mean after the regnitz, should I get 4 relics. Definitely think that’s the best benefit

If you ask me people are complaining way too much for a game that is 2 months old, not even 2 months. But I guess that should be expected. Me personally I like the game as is. This game is like a mix of Age 2 and Age 3, and I like it. There's a macro and micro aspect to it. And it's developed by Relic. Any RTS game developed by Relic is bound to be good. And no DoW3 doesn't count.

I think it's a large part because there's so few civs to choose from, so matchups follow expected metas with few viable deviations. Combat being simplified also just goes to reduce viable options too.

I feel like it isn’t the way i want it and i am extremely picky Its a cool game despite that tho But my biggest want is higher pop cap

@@holoqofholoqqia9503 Out of curiosity, why does DoW3 not count?

@@ArawnOfAnnwn lmfao I don't know I haven't played DoW3. But the reviews are quite something else. I'll leave you to your curiosity and take a look around

yes. Each Relic gives a single Teutonic Knight.

Crusade

They totally should change their totay useless unique unit with the teutonic knight

Maybe if it didn't need relics. I think replacing the Burgrave Palace with a landmark that let you train mounted and/or dismounted Teutonic Knights would be pretty cool, and perhaps a viable alternative to Regnitz Cathedral. They could use Marienburg Castle as the landmark.

Im not sure teutonic order has been abolished during the hre empire

I'm not 100% sure, but I think the bonus is multiplicative. So, while the first gives the full 12.5%, because the research is at 100%, the next can't give the same amount. The research time is at 87.5%, so the next scholar only gives his 12.5% on these 87.5%, that's 10.9375%. So your research time is at 76.5625 and the next scholar gives his 12.5% on this and so on and on, every following scholar gives less and less discount on research time. Would still be interesting to see a SotL Video about it. There must be some ideal number of scholars.

@@the_philos5102 It should be 8, I don't really know how it works mathematically, but I believe that if you have 8 scholars the research times are back to normal.

I dont think it's worth doing until devs actually sort them out so that they work properly.

100.0% of Delhi research time with 0 scholars (increased by a factor depending on Age and bugs) 88.6% with 1 scholar 78.6% etc. ... 69.9% 62.1% 55.3% 49.4% 44.2% 39.6% 35.6% with 9 scholars 32.1% 29.0% 26.2% 23.9% 21.8% 19.9% 18.3% 16.9% 15.6% with 18 scholars 14.5% 13.6% 12.7% 12.0% 11.3% 10.7% 10.2% with 25 scholars

@@Muenni Yeah. I got all of that. All the way up to 50 Scholars to reduce the time down to the regular time for Imperial Techs. Anyone can throw some Scholars into a Mosque and record the time, but what I am interested in is the actual mathematical equation that is going on behind the scenes to get those numbers.

AoM also had a lot more relics with different bonuses.

Relics play a huge role in AoE2 on default settings. The player community however prefer not to play with standard win conditions. There was no fail on the Age2 creators part, it was the player's decision not to use them.

@@DeJake yeah plus with the older unbalanced maps it could be seen as lame, team 1 could have better skill but because the relics spawned more on team 2's side, they hide all 5 relics in the corner, fortify it, and win that way. So relic and wonder victory is always turned off.

@@suddenllybah yeah most of the effects were tiny though. Typically they were half of 1 regular upgrade, e.g. the farming bonus relic was 10% when a normal farm upgrade was 20%. Or the wood/gold gather boost was just 5%. Some of the bonuses sound huge for AOE2, like an extra 10% archer range, but due to AOM's gameplay they are barely noticable due to fast paced cavalry and myth units. Is it worth going out of your way to grab a relic that doesn't give any gold, all it does is make your archers have 82hp instead of 78hp? or makes your rams 50% stronger when buildings are so weak anyway? Or giving your ulfsarks 16.6 attack fully upgraded, rather than 16.2 etc. And I'd always get the most outright useless ones, like making temple technologies 20% cheaper, when I only had 3 of them to research. Or giving my scout 20% extra LOS when chariot archers have better LOS anyway... Walls costing 20% less but even if you wall in your entire base you'd save at most 150 gold... that relic should apply to the upgrade cost too. IMO the AOM relics should have gathered gold as well as providing those upgrades. Or they should have removed the useless upgrades, and made each relic the equivalent to an upgrade e.g. a relic is equal to the copper weapons (blast furnace for AOE2) upgrade for a specific line of unit (archer, infantry or cav), so you could have 1 tier above your opponent.

i've never touched an relic in my life too,i tought they were usseles

None of you have ever played HRE lol. With their reignitz cathedral at age 3 the gold is just monstruous and single handedly makes them somewhat viable

@@pougetguillaume4632 guilty as charged

You def should they are very powerful to getting ahead in the game

Who care!? Aoe 4 sucks dick

@@noduh629 imagine having so little of a purpose in life you spend your days going to AoE 4 videos to tell AoE 4 sucks

@@noduh629 lame troll

@@noduh629 credit where credit is due: Your profile picture fits

No? Why would it be? The prayer tent is Castle age building, and why would you then move around that building to each relic or whatever?

lmao

In Mongolia entire fukin monastery rushes to relic, not just some monk

Good question

You can use it to supervise probably

I would swear I saw you on onlyfans.

turtling is the way in this one

@@htf5555 nope, hre eco is very strong you should be massing archers and m@a in feudal and send them on a ram rush. You either win the game then or go fast imp with swabia and outboom and crush them.

Yeah AoM was hit or miss "This relic makes your heroes have more hp" Oh nice "This relic gives your armory a 10% discount" I already researched most of my armory upgrades...

"This relic spawns a monkey on your temple"

@@Harai_Ulfsark No way! They wouldn't have a relic as useless as that. It spawns *3* monkeys!

@@Sids1192 it was kind of useful

Always feels so bad when they slowly walk away from my wololo, then back in to slap me

I managed to get like 7 horsemen+scout group converted with one hit left when I was running away once. That was fun.

Agreed. It gives you an opportunity to re-convert them later once you have the chance.

Then they can just get like 6 archers for counterplay

@@1un4cy A lot of times they don't diversify if you aren't fielding any obvious counters for them to make archers.

Yeah the full list of bonuses a Elzbach Palace gets with a relic is as follows: +50% hp -33% damage taken +50% armor +35% weapon damage +30% LOS range +20% weapon range the only problem is it still dies super fast to bombards even in 1v1

What I had in mind is if you make Dome of the Faith scholars are 1/2 price for Delhi.

Yes, but they can be if you make dome of the faith as your landmark

Its half cost out of the Dome(75g), im assuming thats what he means.

@@SpiritOfTheLaw ok gucci then my bad

Pagoda also produce tax and for the grenaders alone ming is worth it.

Then you're playing it wrong lmao.

Etimos, balista, prostagma, esvoli,

You also get 100 gold per min for every scared site you have captured. I don't know if there is anything else on top of the win condition and the gold, though.

Found in comments below. Right click the building holding the relic with a monk who does not have a relic in hand.

Tithe Barn Costs 500 gold, and you get 100 gold/min with or without it researched, you just need to decide if 30 of the other resources per min per relic is worthwhile to you.

With resources weighted equally it pays back for itself in 6 minutes with a single relic, 3 with 2, and 2 minutes with 3 relics.. That about balances out with Food being infinite with farms, Wood being abundant but cheap and Stone being limited by the map, while Gold is inifite due to relics and trade. I'd say just always get it if you're in a safe booming position. If you're under pressure the gold is probably better spent on units.

I wouldn't say "sadly" 😅. I always hated relics/monk conversions

Same thing for me. I can’t understand how to do it…

@@elizavetapanina3540 Ikr 🤣 i almost finished the all campaign, then i will try multiplayer, i am very noob, i played at intermediate

So you still can’t find a way how to do it?

@@elizavetapanina3540 No, i didn't

I’ve found an answer. It stop working when you are loading the saved game.

Glitches, bugs, and exploits have made it nearly unplayable, and they're taking their sweet time in fixing them

Yes

@@SpiritOfTheLaw does tithe barns income get tripled inside a regnitz?

I agree, at least on paper the 900 gold per minute = 20 vills on gold seems insane! You can put all your gold vills on other resources and swim in resources really really fast, not to mention the late game advantage when gold runs short... Sadly is probably still less powerful than the Frank's economic bonuses, which are broken, 0 investment and managing for 100% succes.

It's just a tool tip error. Tithe barn gives +30 food/wood, +20 stone for all civs, including Mongols.

He already explained that in the video.

No, closest thing to that is Delhi getting 200g/min per sacred site

lol love that guy
