Water maps will be incredible, but my goodness this is the most epic content AoE4 has provided so far. Diplomacy, Drama, Rushes, Wonders, Backstabbing, Crazy Battles it has everything
Core with his cavalry is like Rohan coming to Gondor's aid but then saying 'well fuck it where were you when the Westfold fell ?' and rushing in to destroy the last landmark, that was so cool He shouldn't have walled his landmark
the chaos and randomness of the 8 man free for all is truly the best of the game. it allows for such interesting strategies and last minute shifts to attempt to win the game i love it
These are by far the best content available in aoe4. I didn’t think it could get more exciting after yesterday but lo and behold that wonder defense from core was the most exiting thing I’ve ever watched
The only reason core built that wonder right then and put himself in a bad situation was because red was building his. He didn't want to take the chance of losing to a wonder he couldn't help destroy. Fair enough. He put forth a valiant effort though!
I'd argue that players shouldn't surrender so that the last hitting thing is actually relevant and so that it's easier and more objective to determine who killed a player
With so much at stake for these players, I’m honestly not a fan of the last hit rule. Making the last hit is trivial if the other guy was the one that objectively forced the knockout.
@@charliepeterson1745 yeah im very against the last hit rule. You have someone who spent a lot of time and resources atacking and putting pressure, only for someone who played passive and boomed to come in last minute and get all the points
This is how i play boulder bay on 4 v 4, super heavy sea focus, then islan wonder with patrols along their coast to make sure they can't even get on the sea.
Mongols need walls in age 4 I think the trade off from double men to stone walls would be balanced and make them be able to actually contend in late game battles
Would be so nice if you somehow manage to show ingame chat. If one watches the streams of the others. There is so much fun and diplomacy which we miss in this stream. I'd love to get your commentary on that
That seems a bit unfair with zerton taking 100% of the pints for the first knockout. It should be 50/50. Otherwise simtom would have had no motivation to show up 🤷♂️
Spoilers!! Are we sure it wasn't core who got the final kill on simtom? It seemed to me like core and puppypaw had a deal where core would help puppypaw win if puppypaw let core get the points for killing people. I also think puppypaw may have had a similar deal with avely, but that one makes less sense to me since I think avely had a legit chance of winning whereas core didnt once his wonder went down
This scenario literally people allying up against one with a unique winning-condition and idea. Great match Spoiler: If only CoRe protected his southern flank with 1, 2 ships or the cannons. The last 2 minutes of the race wouldve been so fucking exciting :D And yooo I thought Crackedy went too horny to go for it with 3 fully stable + CoRe but man he made it exciting and close :D
I made a post on a month old video, but you should change the pt system to be based on landmark kills, rather than player elimination, because there will be too many subjectivity and opinions and unclearness if you go with last hit elimination/surrendering. Instead of all in-ing an opponent, you could make a meta, where you just take landmarks for points and then back off again. Double the pt system and have landmarks give 3 pts for first death and 1 pt for repair deaths. There would be no guessing or percentage, just actually count the number of landmarks killed.
Great games so far! In terms of fairness I prefer the judge‘s ruling on who is responsible for eliminating another player over a „who made the last hit on the last landmark“ Also to not let games end up in these boring turtling situations it would be awesome to ban stone walls .
@@nicolasbr1332 Abassid has only 2 land marks. Which is taken down easy. China can do what they did in this match and spam land marks. Not to mention op certain units are.
@@berserk1934 yeah but abbasid is one of the best booming civ and it often comes down to that in ffa, plus they have strong military in the late game. And china is one of the strongest civ to boom and in the late game too.
Core should have waited, great play but too early - more defenses and ships needed before you start cosntructing even. Have everything ready first cos in his position theres no rush xd
Amazing game. One suggestion, can you not call it a 'civ pick' when it's random? Very confused about someone "being happy with their civ pick'" when it wasn't picked. Maybe 'civ roll'?
While i was very pleased with ffa 8players it actually bores me very much. 1v1 to 4v4 with defined teams and less wonders are much more interesting to me
You can't tell me 8 man ffa mega random isn't the pinnacle of AoE4.

ye man this game was so great ^^ but if he walled it instantly core was locked out

Outback Octagon + Dingo’s commentary is the best AoE4 series out there 🙌🏼
Dingo is indeed a very good commentator.
Hahaha!!!
My autocorrect knew better hahah
Man this is so awesome. If it's possible, I don't think it is, it would be GREAT to also see the [All] chat.
It's not possible live, except maybe via reading RAM. It'd even be rough to clip from a players stream due to the transparency
THIS! They really need to patch that with the next update! I was watching core streaming it live and the live chat was hilarious and dramatic too
7:07 I wonder if Drongo ever plays HRE because he shouldn't be building the regniz with those relic spotting abilities
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 this should have more likes. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Megarandom make games very unique tbh
This is the GREATEST content. Good shit Drongo
Obviously Core had an aliance with puppy. Puppy wins, Core gets some kills.
A narrow strip of land between two bodies of water is called an isthmus. A peninsula is a narrow strip of land surrounded by water on 3 sides.
Love the emergent storylines in these matches of FFA, nothing else like it 👏
just love it how these Scouts dont care about the cast and just scream whenever they feel like it ~
imagine if mongols could also pack and move their wonder
the countdown should stop but it should also disappear from the map
dude, these games are crazy..i never thouht i'd sit for an hour and a half to watch an AoE 4 game lol.. well done
That French trade holy shit
Core just needed 5-10 more mins to build more ship numbers/ have more res in bank, also more springlands and like 1 keep and he would have won 100%
With better micro he could have gotten there tbh. He had the ships to fend of the attackers but kept them in a ball
This is how i play boulder bay on 4 v 4, super heavy sea focus, then islan wonder with patrols along their coast to make sure they can't even get on the sea.
Imagine you are just a farmer minding your own business and during work you constantly hear screams across the globe from these Scouts o_o
I don't even like the game and I'm enjoying watching this series so much. Says a lot about the great effort you put into making this entertaining
This is it. RTS in perfection.
This is the best tournament I have ever watched.
I had to rewind. That land bridge was always there
I LOVE THIS!!! Truly the most entertaining tournament!
the first game was amazing the second even better
Love your commentary Drongo ❤
1:24:55 damm i didnt know drongo made ASMR, that mic rape was lovely
That bit of land in the top left is an "isthmus"
Mongol Island fun is probs gonna be the highlight of this enture Octagon :D
“Spoilers”
coRe’s wonder and the trebs drop was fucking insane man lmao i hate to be core in that situation
That treb snipe was insane
I saw this game on twitch but came here to leave my like and comment to show my support.
One of the best esports match i have ever seen
imagine playing AoE4 with a VR headset, gloves and a virtual keyboard, would be cool
Was on the edge about buying the game, but this match convinced me!
30:00 STOP TEASING ME!!!
Mongols need walls in age 4 I think the trade off from double men to stone walls would be balanced and make them be able to actually contend in late game battles
Maybe just let Mongol able to build normal palisade wall in age 3 or later.
I think you'd call it an isthmus. The strip of land near crackedys base.
I love these!!! Keep it up Drongo!
plz keep uploding these kind of vids, its amazing
Core should have been more aggressive with the dock there
Treb drop LOL. does anyone remember that patch in SC2 where tanks could be dropped while in siege mode ?
1:24:46 man sounds like an auctioneer
This is awesome. How are the civs chosen ? Is it random in game, player chosen or organised as a hat draw ?
Lol poor Core ♥
It was and is amazing!!
awesome game. love the octagon games! they are the most entertaining.
1:17:15 literally Helms Deep
Octo 🍮
what a game! best tournament ever!
poor Core...
love Core...
Is there some leaderboard ? Where we can check ouveral score of players participating ?
why does HRE go for springlads too when they have culverin
Would be so nice if you somehow manage to show ingame chat. If one watches the streams of the others. There is so much fun and diplomacy which we miss in this stream. I'd love to get your commentary on that
If core was a different civ and walled up the island, what would happen?
That seems a bit unfair with zerton taking 100% of the pints for the first knockout. It should be 50/50. Otherwise simtom would have had no motivation to show up 🤷♂️
@Aussie_Drongo will we be seeing the GL finals on your channel?
Spoilers!!
Are we sure it wasn't core who got the final kill on simtom? It seemed to me like core and puppypaw had a deal where core would help puppypaw win if puppypaw let core get the points for killing people. I also think puppypaw may have had a similar deal with avely, but that one makes less sense to me since I think avely had a legit chance of winning whereas core didnt once his wonder went down
Anyone know the seed for this map? :P I wanna try the french market out haha
At this point everyone and their dog knows about coRe, a testament that all publicity is good publicity. coRe streams when?
coRe alone on an island with ML mum ;) What a character
It was a great game I enjoyed watching it 👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼
Idea for a video:
2 AoE players, 1 currywurst
How...
How did I get here?
And why am I loving this?! coRe legit almost 1v5'd them...
He is baaack
Do they play random civs?
This scenario literally people allying up against one with a unique winning-condition and idea. Great match
Spoiler:
If only CoRe protected his southern flank with 1, 2 ships or the cannons. The last 2 minutes of the race wouldve been so fucking exciting :D
And yooo I thought Crackedy went too horny to go for it with 3 fully stable + CoRe but man he made it exciting and close :D
the way how you're commenting this feels as if i'm watching a tournament

insane game
is there any game like this in Android mobile playstore ?!
These are epic
Is it possible to play this mode?
Why don't you forbid forfeiting in the tournament and make that if you want to forfeit you can just go AFK? Then it wouldn't be so confusing
Core numba 1
Why build a Wonder at the end kill both get 4 extra Points and win anyway
Hi Drongo please check the “infinite upgrade” mod! It’s basically 256 tech mod in aoe4!!
Chinese bombard will shoot like a maniac after just couple fire speed upgrade! Try it out!
i saw a beastyqt video where he said chamber of commerce doesnt actually give u a boost its a a scam
Great games so far!
In terms of fairness I prefer the judge‘s ruling on who is responsible for eliminating another player over a „who made the last hit on the last landmark“
Also to not let games end up in these boring turtling situations it would be awesome to ban stone walls .
Abassid shouldn't be a civ to be picked in FFA. China as well.
why not?

coRe is king
Exiting
Amazing game.

F-F-F-FIRST BABY

Man i luv you but holy lipsmacks
Viper is Back to aoe2... Now wo know why He is a snake i guess
your core jokes are very disrespectful esp if he is not your best friend
I agree.
