  • Struggling to reach Feudal Age before 8 minutes? Here's a very simple build order to consistently reach Feudal at approximately 5 minutes, or even earlier with Chinese (press F11 to see the in-game timer). You may not crush the ranked ladder by using this, but it's simple, easy to remember, and general enough to work with any civilization.

      I'm not Spirit but yeah in my few games I've played during the beta and stress test there is a tech that allows you to have the sheep follow the scout to the TC and will drop them off, so you can shift click on the TC once you've gather sheep and have them continue to scout without a lot of macro.

    This game is WAY more hand-holdy than AoE2, BUT they said the same thing about SC2 and the skill ceiling for top ladder is insanely high there. I think if those micro skills are put to good use elsewhere in the game, then the more hand-holding early stages won't be bad at all. I'm really liking what I've played so far, and this is the first time I'm getting into a game with this much fan momentum right at the beginning.

    • @dragonlloux

      The skill ceiling for this will also be insane! With units having different skills, cavalry actually having a advantage with cycle charging, the bigger difference between different factions units, the nuke (relic conversion).

      To call this the new Starcraft is a stretch. Honestly, the game looks like AoE 3 v2 rather than a standalone game with AoE 2 values in mind. It doesn't look modern at all either, it looks stuck in 2012 at best. Hell, the DE looks better in terms of visual fidelity than AoE 4.

I also agree it looks kinda like 2012 and while my expectations werent too high, its still a bit disappointing. Also I know stuff might still evolve, but I dont think it will change that much from what we see here. To me this is just somewhat of a merge of aoe 3 and 2 and nothing thats truly exciting, mechanics that are so unique or well thought-out that I'd spend the time of buying and learning about everything in aoe 4.

    You can put the sheep directly on top / inside the town center to optimize the worker gather time. Move scout that has sheep following to one side of the TC, move scout to the opposite side of the TC so they path along the TC as close as possible, right click the TC while controlling the scout when the sheep move past the corner of the TC closest to your vills. The sheep will be basically inside the TC and the vills won't have to walk to drop off.

  • @shykorustotora
    @shykorustotora 2 роки тому +4

    My build order with a record so far of 4:31 Feudal Age:
    All 6 starting villagers on Sheep
    7 to sheep as well
    8 builds a house
    9 builds a mining camp and gathers gold
    (Once the house is done, also goes to gold)
    Then all other villagers on Food until you age up.
    To build, I grab every food villager except maybe one or two.
    (Build order will change for Abbasid since you need an extra 50 Wood for the House of Widsom)
    * NOTE, this build is fast but leaves you with pretty much 0 resources when you age up. However, by this time you'll probably be scouting your opponent so keep an eye on which military building/landmark he builds. Things like Barracks, Stable and Archery ranges are expensive so you all can't really afford to build one of each. You'll typically make 5+ units from whatever your first building. If his first building is an archery range, your first building is a stable, etc. Otherwise if you build one of each building, you'll have 2 archers, one horsemen and one spearmen and I'll have 15 archers.
    Personally, once I age up I shift one more villager to gold for upgrades, but otherwise distribute my villagers depending on my starting army. If I'm going horsemen, I'll stack up HEAVY on food. If I'm going archers, I'll split it 50/50, etc.
    I don't feel the need to get tons of lumber very quickly in the early game since your starting wood (minus Abbasid) can cover everything. 50 for house, 50 for mining camp, 50 for lumber camp, 50 for mill. That's your starting 200 lumber so no need to gather more and you won't age up with 20 pop

    I'm guessing aeo4 would be like, set up 8 groups of civ, each group have different approaches, like SC or WC3. Inside the group, a number of civs would be similar but have their unique features, like aoe2 civs. So the pro players would specialise in one group, but have the leeway to choose a civ to counter or surprise the opponent. I think this is what aoe3 was trying to do, only it released a new group each dlc rather than have all group at the beginning and release civs from different groups each dlc

      In aoe2 I find it ridicoulus how many civs can train knights... and I would really appreciate it if at the very least the spearman line would have a different look (or maybe slightly different stats) for some civs.
      Playing an American civ and building european looking units just feels incredibly weird.

      They sure do. I play AoE2 alot (since the original release days) and track how the good players play (Hera, SotL, T9000, etc) but I dislike multiplayer due to the stress factor.
      Even with the lack of AoE2 multiplayer experience, I find myself stomping unprepared/inexperienced people in AoE4 due to generally good to remember AoE2 fundamentals like always be producing villagers, always have them working, don't get housed, scout your sheep, build more town centers for more villagers, stay on top of upgrades, rebuild new lumber camps closer to the tree line, harass your opponent's economy, etc.
      Knowing how to play AoE2 to a decent degree carries quite alot into AoE4 once you settle into the groove. If you consistently watch UA-camrs like SotL on AOE2 stuff and picked up roughly what to do, you will rampage the newbies in AOE4.

    You can click your scout onto your town center to drop all sheep that are following it. Unconfirmed, but it also sounds like sheep and deer food doesn't decay. Meaning it's best to have one kill them all to avoid the group staff strike animation.

      First unit is prelate, send to gold to buff.
      Build villagers send them to food
      As soon as gold you have enough gold for another prelate make it and task to buff food.
      Keep putting vills on food, once you have 200gold send gold vills to wood. Ez fast uptime.

    The Farm Guy seems to go 8 sheep, 2 gold, 2 wood at the start his build guides rather than taking wood first. I haven't analyzed it to see which if your strats is more efficient just figured I'd point that out. More vills on gold faster seems to make sense as you actually need gold to age up in AoE4. I still catch myself sending them to wood all the time though so I guess knowing your strat is useful too even if it's not faster for if I catch myself with early vills on wood. I'm guessing it may be closer to ideal build order on maps where you can place a docks and fish too.

So far this build is slower in Dark age to reach feudal, but I'm able to build armies faster than my allies(without being able to rewatch matches I've tried to see what my allies do to improve my play.
