Great vid! Is this still viable in S9?
Is this still viable with the seaspn 9 changes? Especially the mass infantry?
yo brother could you make a china guide?
Awesome! Thank you, is this still relevant in S9?
Amazing content! Have you stopped producing?
I am a newbie, I would like to ask you the following 3 questions: 1. Do you know which key combination to call Stable house (horse house) or Archery (firefield) quickly instead of having to click the mouse on that house. 2. How to call all troops to a place where you are fighting (instead of the way you do it manually, hover the mouse back to that house - click on- then move the mouse to the place where you are fighting - then press the G key, manually each house 1) 3. How does the shift button combination operate so that the tracking horse moves in the sequence of mouse clicks?
Going trade is really good against high defense civilizations because it draws them out of their base
Blidge please make guide about ayyubids and ottomans in season 9 please
Ty
Bro I feel like their so underpowered whenever I play them
Interesting approach but imo wrong and oversimplified
The example at @8:25 has a few issues. Number 1), we have no way from this example to know if the army value is actually accurate for the units that are present in the fight. Number 2) The positioning and the composition of Whams army is wrong. That's not the mangos fault. Wham was caught with his pants down by the KNIGHTS. The KNIGHTS is what killed his crossbows. Wham did not NEED to move his xbows within range of the Mangos. Nor did he need to move all of his spears away from covering his Xbows. Nor did he need to even kill the mango. All this example shows is a bad trade and bad positioning and a surprise attack. This example shows nothing wrong with the balance of Mangos at all. EDIT: also, let's not forget that the Mango is supposed to counter ranged units. We should expect him to take unit losses if he runs is Xbows into the Mangos, just like we would expect losses if he lets the Knights run into his xbows.
Brudderr!!! Keep up the amazing work!! Ur a life saver
very solid guide, thanks! Can't wait to see an update to address the new bounty system
Excited for the 21st of October and finally another new version of aoe4 that de emphasize siege a bit
When we get the new patch with the siege?
can you make a updated rus guide
Would wish that for Ayyubids.
Ootd guide when? Im really struggling deciding when to go fc and when to go feudal aggression and how to do it efficiently. It takes so long to create units enemy can just age up and win
Pax Ottonomana letssss goooooo
Great breakdown, thank you!
U want more nerfs to HRE? This patch gonna destroy infantry dude, HRE is already doom...
great video!! Do a post patch military tactics video since now the siege meta is changing
I am totaly hyped. Struggle which civ I will play, but I am happy Siege fights will change.
thank you
I don't know, seems like siege will still be game-breacking.
Tbh if the game goes so long that someone is able to mass winguard rangers enough to kill all the enemies army and still have enough of them to destroy a barraks ( 1500 hp /( 3+1) = 375 attacks , if you have 50 of them is still pretty slow . Now imagine a fortified tower or a castle or a tc , with 4500+ hp , i cannot see as OP to be honest .
You should watch more the tags of your video man , it only come out with aoe4 update , not with patch notes , new update ecc ecc
Is this update already live and we can play with it?
Hi! It is live on PUP, you can play it if you click on the game in steam --> properties --> betas --> select the beta --> future_live
Not yet.
Hi Sir, could you share any idea on how to play Japan after this update? Cuz I found the big nerf on food aura and weaker age4 samurai really made a big change on this civs 😢can you help Sir
Hi! It is tough for sure, since Japanese age 2 is still very weak and age 3 is tricky. I think the strategy will remain the same: try to age up to Castle, be as aggressive as possible, and go for an extra TC when safe. Probably, you will need to be aggressive for a little bit longer, and use more berries/huntables.
Recently i'm using the louemt start and feeling ultra good even in 1v1 , you start with 2 on stone and 1 on gold , all the other on food , when you age up you leave 6 on food and all the other on wood , you can choose for 2 tc at 6 or aura on the main tc . And from there with double villagers and a spam of archers you survive/aggro the enemy attacks , archer are good now because you can have a banner ( making them as normal archers) and they only cost 30/30 or you can fast castle into horse , that with this patch will be incredible strong now , farms seems nerfed but for everyone so searching for deers will be a must for every civ .
Thanks for the update info!
what a clickbait. Clicked cuz it said 1hour and it is only 58.25 minutes long.
hahah
How should we counter mass bees/mangos with spears/crossbows without anti siege? English i gonna be even more broken in imp with the new upgrades. Finally this civ is getting some love🙌🏻🤣
I think mangonels will not be as strong as they are now, because of smaller area of impact. Nest of bees are going to be broken though, unless they update them too!
💡💡💡
If anyone can explain all of this well, is you. Thanks for posting it.
Hell yeah, brother.
First
china guide plsss
your guides are extremely useful! you've managed to condense a lot of info into one video, congrats!
Great guide. Very helpful.
You should be a way bigger name in the community! Keep the great work!
Hey, can you make a Delhi guide if possible?
Zhu xi legacy have the fastest FC build of all civs (I think). Isn't it viable?
Hey yo really looking forward ur dheli guide. Anyways really like ur content. Wish u all the best✌️
Please do guides for Maliance
In your malian game, when facing a lot of archers/javs make a ram and put your onna bugeisha inside of it. If he comes to kill it with spears, you will butcher them, otherwise you can break the mine and all the houses.
You're doing god's work, Blidge!
Your videos are amazing. It helps me greatly before a game
