How to Play Japanese 2 TC Mass Samurai in AOE4? 

Just started playing the game like 2 weeks ago, it has me staying up relatively late for the first time in a while, well last night at 2 am in a solo ranked someone hit me with that wololo and I about jumped out of my skin lol

lmao@@Space_ovcupied

English is a threat in feudal because of their longbows. But if they try fight with men at arms against your fully upgraded samurai army in the late game, it will be a bloodbath for English

To prevent long bow / spear man combo from the English, just make Onna-Bugeisha + light cav and maintain momentum with samurai and (if horse archer if req)

Once repelled, they either have to wall up where you can pick off builders or remain open ( just go for anything at that point), at this point your food will be sorted with the farmhouse landmark so just look for gold. :)

wat is prodigy

Haha exactly my thoughts. Beasty is Keith Flint incarnate

google you boomer lol

that was the best moment

I agree with this BUT if you get the hang of the game really well and the civ + every second counts for you then getting that vill out instantly is more productive

am I the only one who doesn't understand this? lol

​@@KingofKekw ​ Not complicated honestly, once you make a Daimyo Upgrade, It comes with a free instant villager which is why u dont want to queue a villager since the instant one is gonna be behind all the others. You would rather have the "instant villager" come out first then queue up so that u be more productive if that makes sense

The one thing we aren't calculating is no early wheelbarrow and the wood needed to build 2 forges. On his build there's only 1 forge. And that will heavily delay if we gotta build 2 for both stone and gold

@@Ayodeji1993 i never said to build the second forge tho? And nothing about wheelbarow?

sounds interesting. tried it out yet?

You can do this by sending vills for a gold pickup at the start then send them straight to the stone mine and they will drop their gold into the forge and start mining gold. You get up to around 220 gold to get to 350 stone, then you get the remaining stone you need for Daimyo by mining the gold with the 8 vills which takes about 5 minutes. Daimyo is great but your're trading off very precious early unit production to get the stone for the bannerman. Instead of the 300 stone + cost of the bannerman you can use 300 food/wood + bannerman cost combo to produce nearly 5 more onas which is more valuable at that point in the game vs. 1 bannerman.

Watch it on 1.25/1.5x

You cancel ofc...you need to then focus food on units. Just take out a bannerman first and you are good. Rush castle for mangos

How can the zhu’s arrive in time when your tc goes up by 5:20?

I don’t think you can

Practice lol

Deflective Armor. They nullify the first attack they take in combat, it comes back when they've been out of combat for a bit

i have the same problem when i tried this. i know hes literally a pro but like my wood count just isnt even close to his after age up

I'm level 285, highest ranking plat 1, believe I know it's hard, and I'm only 2 ranks above you I suck, you're doing well

It’s in replay mode

Reverse mohawk

Possibly land-shits. Since Japan is very melee focused they may not have an answer for them. Once you hit imperial start mixing in handcanoneers

Fast Castle and MAA+Crossbowman? MAA should do ok against Onna (if they don't just run past you) and I'd think that the Heavy Mace upgrade would wreck Samurai. Crossbows are good against basically all infantry.

Darn thats a shame HRE doesn't have archers

@@aidayen I just noticed that 😂

Anyone found a good way to counter/punish this BO in a Japanese mirror?

What r u talking about ?

It massively increases the amount of safe food you have access to at a critical time in the game.

@@Immotuss yeah. But every civ has that issue. So it's not a new problem. Just build farms. You can manually do it faster than the landmark does. And then by castle age. You're in the exact same boat. The only difference is. You do it manually or not. . Soo easier landmark sure yeah not debating. It's a great landmark.. But you have more tools and options with Shinobi.. Soo if you just manually handle your food. The better landmark by default is Shinobi. It's just a harder landmark because you have to micro the ninjas. And macro the farms in. But if you think about it. You can squeeze MORE farms in. Manually. Within the daimyo radius. If the storehouse wasn't there. So late game. You'd have more farms around your TC. Then you would with the storehouse. Auto farms are nice. Manually doing it ultimately yields more food. So ninjas are better. Imo

@@jonathanrothmare3509well no, the farm house allows you to garrison units (protects you from raids) also the wood saved can be sent on military buildings and upgrades, works as a universal resource upgrade too. So much more utility than the other land mark

It's a Feudal landmark, you should still have food on the map while the farms spawn, and it saves a ton of wood. Every 2 farms you don't have to build is a free barracks

@@imperator9343 well yeah. I'm not disagreeing that the landmark makes food brainless. I'm saying if you bite the bullet and do it manually. You are stronger with Shinobi But yeah it's harder. And the food landmark is easy. I'm not talking about easier or harder. I'm saying Shinobi landmark is where Japan will shine the most. When people figure out the best way to attack with Shinobi. For the entirety of the match and not just 4min-10min early harass.

That means you don't follow the build order

If you're waiting in food you have too many villagers queued at the moment cancel then build

without timings this information is useless sadly

Japanese is so easy to play. Bad players can be competitive with regular players even if the civ isn't op it's just how easy it is to play if you get what I mean

@@cameronscott4440 Exactly and that is the issue with the civ. It's far too easy for anyone to pick up and do well in it. I've seen Gold players beat Diamond players purely because of the civ. Granted, the Diamond players may not have learned how to play against it. But it is hard to play against them. They can mass units very quickly compared to other civs. I think Ottoman is very powerful against them mainly because of military school and their ability to make big armies fast. Rus should be pretty good too. Jean D'arc should be able to destroy them with knights. English and HRE can suffer because Samurai will just melt the MAAs and archers aren't exactly great against Samurai. French should do well with knights and crossbows. Abbasids can be tricky, the Abbasid eco is very powerful and the mass can be quite effective. Their archer's firing rate alone compensates for the lack of damage a single shot can do. They should be able to defend well in Feudal and get to castle with knights and crossbows. Abbasid farms also get 30% faster gathering rate in castle for much cheaper (no stone cost) with the Golden Age I upgrade and the house of wisdom upgrade. Ayyubids do well against Japanese because of their increased aggression early on. Byzantines should be able to do well if played properly. Malians can suffer against the Samurai spam. I don't think it is OP, it's just far too easy to play and you need to play really well to properly counter it. I think it's really balanced for top tier players, but for lower rated players it can definitely appear OP.

Onas are quite easily countered with mass archers. Use a couple of heavier units as meat shields and then kite the archers. Get steel arrow for extra damage. 20 archers vs 20 Onas and you can kill all 20 Onas in 30 seconds or less. It's all about the counters.

@@johnnypenso9574 But once you start making archers your enemy will detect it and stop making Onnas and start making Samurai, which you cannot counter in Feudal unless you have access to knights, which a lot of civs don't get.

@@somebody700 Even then samurai is competitive against every single unit in the game

Wolololo red team

The more subs he gets on twitch the more different stuff he does xD

He’s doing it for more money. Guy is rich

@@comree11bit of an exaggeration. No aoe streamer is ever gonna be rich

@@ozsa3156yes they can be lol
