elephants are good...if you boom for 30 minutes in gold / platinum league and go straight to the Sultan's elephant supported by 15 scholars. Otherwise, just do what every other Dehli does and mass Ghazi and archer

I thought elephants were only good if you make dome of the faith, crank out scholars, and then bring the scholars with the elephants after most of your research is done. The healing seems to overcome the elephants’ weakness to spearmen. Janisseries are still a hard counter though.

I really appreciate the level of thought you’ve put into this, and I’d like to see more essays like this from you and from others. But with respect, I disagree with almost every point you’ve made. Nerfing mangonels in the way you describe completely undermines their entire purpose. They’re _supposed_ to be for countering large masses of individually-weak units. Your suggestion turns them into counters to strong single units. Big mango shots are major hype moments when spectating; you would remove that dramatic and dynamic change in the state of play. Removing springalds removes an important powerful counter to enemy siege units. I do think springald vs springald gets boring, so maybe reducing the damage they can do to each other somehow would help. But also, make cavalry, especially light cavalry, a much stronger counter to siege of all kinds (including springalds) would be a good change. I do like the idea of rams garrisoning fewer units but being able to shoot out. The change you suggest to the cheirosiphon, though, might be the worst one of all. The defining feature of them is that because they shoot fire rather than hitting with a physical ram, they also cause damage to surrounding units. Removing that removes their unique feature and also breaks verisimilitude. My experience has also been that the damage they do is already far too low to be worthwhile anyway. I would change them to be less effective against buildings, but have their area of effect fire damage be much more noticeable and reliable. Siege towers obviously need a buff, and what you suggest would help, but I think the bigger problem is how little stone walls see use, and how easy they are to destroy with other siege anyway, making the siege tower redundant even if it _did_ work perfectly. Not to mention the difficulty of then climbing down the opposite side. I think along with improving the usability of siege towers, we need a buff to stone walls, and also to the mechanic of placing units _on top_ of stone walls.

yo bro could you make a guide on chinese? love from Pakistan

yeah I think they need either Forced march or short charge + little bit of melee splash damage

The biggest problem is that the most expensive unit's 4armor is useless vs the cheapest unit's 32dmg vs cavalry. So either elephants tank damage and die immediately, or stay behind and become inferior range units.

I found 2Tc into Keeps everywhere then Elephants works good .. if I play against English and they go Council hall it's already over , a few Ghazi to counter the Longbows first push then mass Archers into the war Elephants its usually gg I Reckon one Extra Archer on top tower Elephants and Trample ability on the War Elephant 👌👍

Great video! I started playing Delhi because of elephants, research and keep boom: I love playing in Castle age. Once I started playing ranked I dropped Delhi after a while because really the only strategy you go for in competitive play in >90% of play is mass Ghazi's in feudal age. I like your ideas, although I am not so sure about 3. What makes it different from a normal archer then? Another solution might be to have the elephants get an aura similar to camels, but against infantry. For instance, 20% damage reduction against all infantry in an aura (as I would be scared shitless if an enemy comes towards me on an elephant)

I have killed more than 20 spearman and men at arms with 2 or 3 elephants

“Babe, wake up, new Blidge vid dropped”

The solution 4 makes no sense, it works only on 1 matchup out of 16 and fucks up balance for ottoman. The elephants have a more core problem, they are high hp units and there is no reason not to focus them with ranged (no overkill). The anti-sinergy with tower of victory does not help either since it's the only viable feudal landmark on land maps :\

Top tier quality video, thank you :)

godlike youtuber

Shut up and take my sub you amazing content creator you.

Great guide, thanks!

Really enjoy your guides Blidge. Thank you. Can I ask why your terrain and buildings/units graphics look so different from mine and most videos I see?

I like the siege tower idea. Unsure on the rest.

Hell yeah, brother.

I just hate mass mangos. Just a 0 brain 0 fun strat. I think they should have a much slower setup before they fire. So they are for defending against a mass where you have to position them well and pick the fight there. Rather than now where you can just slow push with them on mass as they crush everything.

Removing springals and in exchange decreasing the damage that trebuchets do to structures would sound awesome. Trebuchets are so cool, but they are quite situational and a keep sieges don't last long if you have multiple ones. If keeps would also have lower attack range and Mangonels would do less crazy unit splash the resulting gameplay would seem much more entertaining and also reaslistic

Video idea! Maybe make a 2v2/3v3 guide? Overall guide Some golden rules How it plays differently than 1v1s? Which strategies/tactics are usually played? Maybe a quick str/weakness of each civs and maybe good synergy civs for those civs. Some tips and tricks Keep it up!

These guides are so detailed, its amazing. Nice series man. Keep going.

could join chat group to discuss？

Great job with these guides.

Can you throw some builds up on aoe4guides please?

opinion from a shit elo player

good job thank from france

Been thinking about picking up HRE after maining Japan so far, your guide is really helpful in making an informed decision!

Man, keep it up, your content is top notch

NOOOO WHY R U TEACHING THE MOST ANNOYING CIV -Delhi Main

THIRD!

First

my goat

Do you offer coaching? How much?

Hi you ar so true !!!! I hope developer will see this video. Siege need to not slow down the game and people dont have to turtle under wall/keep and siege !!! Well done

Here is one thing i don't understand : they are plenty, and i mean plenty of RTS games with 0 sieges, none, without strong defensive positions, none, and that are not about consolidating positions on the long term at all, but rather about quickly trading positions and surprise your opponent. Yet we play the game with the siege, with the strong defensive positions, that is about securing position long term cause that large gold vein will likely win the game on it's own if you can fully drain it... and yet we complain about what actually makes this game great and different from the others. Like idk guys, if you want a tactical RTS, go play a tactical RTS. If you want a strategic one, sieges and strong defensive positions will be a part of it, or it's no longer a strategic RTS.

Great Video, Most changes are good, but too drastic in my opinion: Remove Springalds and culverins: Yes please (maybe leave some civ unique weaker exeptions if this is somehow balancable) Mangonel dmg and aoe: i Think what u are proposing makes using mangonels feel very bad as an aoe dmg tool. I would just reduce the dmg overall make Bonus dmg vs ranged and lower the aoe Radius and maybe make them slightly more expensive. So that if u invest enough ressources u still can get that big aoe dmg but on a much higher cost. I Think the way u should counter counter mangonels and siege in general should be to try to flank with cavalry which leads to a way more fun expirience, where u have to Position ur spearmen more precisly. At the end all of this doesnt Matter at all because relic doesnt care about this game anyway.

Heavy disagree on mangonels. Their role is exactly countering unit masses, its entirely your fault if you mass spears+arbalests but forgot to make some springalds to counter mangos which directly counter your formation. Without mango there's basically no counter to unit spam but another unit spam, not even keeps can kill massed MAA.

I love these condense videos as it welcomes players who actually want to learn but wandering in the desert of civs and knowledge. Keep going.
