Thanks for watching dude! Yeah absolutely it can be hard to manage for sure. I tried to go up against two Hardest AI and that was BRUTAL!! Keep trying and try different/new things, see what works for you. Ive found the best and highest learning curve is 1vs1 pvp
Watching you play, I was grinding my teeth hard because you didn't assign your soldiers. But then you did a mass crop with your fields and I was like "...huh. Something new."
I just don’t understand this game at all there will be a period where I can defeat the hardest AI with little to no effort , they will rush my base with decent numbers but I manage to actually kill them and then they flee and I get more time to build forces and level up but then all of a sudden there is a period where it is simply not possible they flood your base and their units do not die they do not retreat and for the very few units that I manage to kill they are immediately replaced with reinforcements. and the issue is they simply do not retreat and their units are almost indestructible. It’s very strange. I can go like 20 games on hardest AI and win every game against any civ and then like I said it suddenly shifts and it is just not possible. I have defeated every civ on hardest and then it just simply shifts to where I can’t even beat anybody. It is very very strange.
Click a villager to build a mill then select farm and shift-click 8 times on the mill and it'll build 8 farms in perfect symmetry around the farm, assuming you have the resources. One Villager can build the mill and all the farms then just rally your TC to one of the farms and the vills will find a farm to work at until they run out. Then build another mill, repeat etc.
Apologies for the long reply. I assigned the arrow keys to WASD, which most people will hate as PRO players use those keys to build houses etc... In regards to the farms @johnnypenso9574 explained it perfectly
Thank you for your kind comment. Please keep in mind this as pre AI update. The AI used to be much much easier. I wouldnt be able to do this now as i haven't played AoE for 2 years
Hi mate , i got an stupid question but how you add 4 longbow right away ? do you press a key 4 time quickly or is there a way to queue instant 4 right away
I cannot believe this is Hardest AI!!! I play on hard and they always beat me to feudal age, and when I attack they have an army of cavalry 10 min into the game...I dont get it!
Thanks for your comment mate. Please bear in mind this was uploaded over 2 years ago, when the AI was not even nearly as aggressive as it is now. There was an update about 6-12 months after this was uploaded where they completely changed how aggressive the AI was. There is NO WAY I could beat the Hardest AI now. Although it might be fun to try
No one will know i beat hardest ai's for mastery playing on black forest and i walled them very quickly so they'y could't rush me no one will know... of course mongolian one i did by exploiting ai and harasing them early once i accidentally played vs hardest ai on mega random but then AI doesn't build shipyards and i had 20 deep sea fish all by myself lmao
Being a console player.. so far i find it difficult to play without auto cueing villagers and setting gathering to automatic with the different options.
@@mannsauce it's not really bad to be honest. I found it fun. But I kinda stopped playing once ark came out. But I've since quit ark and went back to elder scrolls.
@@mannsauceit's fun. Not as intuitive as PC, and the controllers controls are actually pretty decent. Now I would add, don't use auto eco in early game, but it's a massive help when you got 85 vills pumping out of 3 TCs back at home and going straight to a resource while you're on the other side of the map with a legion of men at arms and rams.
This is definitely NOT hardest AI. They didnt even send any attacks at you, even on intermediate they are none stop attacking. This dude is a joke and hes obviously usinh cheats, the AI isny passive. Get a life dude.
@@randyeury4772 wasteman randy. This was 3 years ago you Muppet. The AI used to be easy, even on hardest. After one update, they were made so much harder. Clown
learned a lot from this. i'll try my luck later. been looking for a way to defeat hardest AI.
When I play AI hardest I get overwhelmed with the waves of military they send. I’ll try your strategy and see how it works. Good content!

this helped me fix my early game timing, thank you
@@austinyoung3280 sorry for the late reply, but super happy this helped you🙏🏼
Did you manage to defeat hardest AI?
@mannsauce I have
U made this look so easy I just started with this game and haven't got A W yet even with the AI on easy
Same, they just won't let me breath.
have you tried building an army and using an actual BO? All AI's till "very hard" are easy and dumb.
amazing Narration!
Thank you! I appreciate that!
these are absolutely fantastic :)
Hardest is so ridiculous/hectic unless you get a good villager picking in the dark ages
Watching you play, I was grinding my teeth hard because you didn't assign your soldiers. But then you did a mass crop with your fields and I was like "...huh. Something new."
I did a spear / archer rush -> build up -> castle / oranger -> trebuchet -> walling in with castles and then starving the ai out of resources.

Do you use the arrows on the keyboard to move the screen around? And how do you make multiple farms with one click?

Hello, great battle. I don't understand how you heal your units without a priest. how does it work? could you help me, please?
The English longbows have a tech you can research to be able to heal themselves when they're not in combat
@@mannsauce not anymore
@@aditya_saha 😲😲 really!?
@@mannsauce yea they replaced the campfire tech from bowmen to men-at-arms. Also it now increases attack speed instead of healing your units.
You make it look so easy
Thank you for your kind comment. Please keep in mind this as pre AI update. The AI used to be much much easier. I wouldnt be able to do this now as i haven't played AoE for 2 years
That's because he's not legit. Idk if you played the game but the AI doesn't just sit back and do nothing....
Do you mainly play against ai? Or vs player?
Hi mate , i got an stupid question but how you add 4 longbow right away ? do you press a key 4 time quickly or is there a way to queue instant 4 right away
Hold Shift when you click the unit you want to make, it'll queue 4 at a time
@@mannsauce thanks mate !

is rus the weakest ai 6 min feudal age seems rather slow ai normaly hits it after 4 min?
This was a game from a year ago so the AI is probably at a different skill level now. So you're probably right, it might be much quicker now
yeah they reworked the ai in january
found out by filling the official feedback form
@@mannsauceit’s insane now, I beat them but not easily
BIG LIKE BRO. NICE WAR NATO VS RUSSIA :D ;) =)))
why do the graphics look so different?
Not too sure mate? They look the same to me
it's AoE IV buddy
I’m stuck on absurd it’s ridiculous
@@Butterlesstoasttt you got this bro! What is your civ choice?
No one will know i beat hardest ai's for mastery playing on black forest and i walled them very quickly so they'y could't rush me
no one will know...
of course mongolian one i did by exploiting ai and harasing them early
once i accidentally played vs hardest ai on mega random but then AI doesn't build shipyards and i had 20 deep sea fish all by myself lmao
just rush and it's gg ez, the ai isn't even playing the game!
It's definitely NOT hardest AI. I've played against them. This isn't that.
Haha. I didn't see the date and thought it was against the shitty cheating AI
I would really struggle to play against the AI now!

I cant imagine playing AoE on a console, it sounds incredibly hard. Make the move to PC mate! You wont look back
