  • Age of Empires 4 has been out for a couple of weeks now, but it's never too late to study the basics, and check if you've missed something that could make a huge difference. I've noticed quite a few questions out there regarding essential elements of the game, and thought I'd compile some key tips that apply to beginner's and those with a little experience alike (or so I hope). The tips in this beginner's guide video for Age of Empires 4 should give you an upper hand in multiplayer especially, so don't underestimate their value in suitable circumstances.

    The faction guides will continue, but I wanted to bring these essential tips to you first as I noticed quite a few questions being asked out and about that I thought needed answering. Hopefully something for beginners and more familiar players alike, and if you have any tips of your own you want to share, feel free to do so below! And if you're interested, you can check out the faction guide playlist here - ua-cam.com/video/BmaVZwtBSQk/v-deo.html Enjoy!

    About the market distance. This has been discussed extensively in AOEII forums with excel files an such. The general idea is indeed to have them far apart but the reason is that you need to avoid the carts delaying each other by "crashing" on each other while moving back and forth. If you manage to have them closer and avoid delaying the carts then you should also have good results. Apart from that, I would like to add to the tips that shift clicking a unit, queues up 5x of that unit. That used to work the same when buying and selling goods at the market. Shift clicking would buy/sell 500x of that resource instead of 100x. However this doesnt work, at least yet in AOEIV

    • @jakubsarnowski9050
      @jakubsarnowski9050 2 роки тому +1

      yeah, it seems like it was only partially implemented - units queueing works just fine, but using market to sell any bigger amount of resources is a pain. BUT, I found out you can actually hold down any key responsible for buy/sell, eg. buy stone is D. if you hold down this key, you'l buy incrementally raising amount of that resource.

    Maybe as a little addition to the waypoints: If you play as the Mongols you can also set a waypoint for your pens so your villagers don't have to run around to collect the sheep.

    in regard to game not recognizing incoming change in scout's status by picking up carcass - I've managed to make it work several times, although it does seem to be buggy and it doesn't always work. I noticed that the direct indicator whether you'll be able to queue deer kill & deliver carcass or pick up relic & deliver to monastery is a change of cursor's face - if it remains an arrow and doesn't switch to hand with a little triangle, scout or monk will in fact only walk towards specific building but they won't deliver their payload.

    What's the best way to "select one of many". For example:
    I selected multiple villagers and I want them to build a tower each.
    I selected multiple scouts and I want each of them to go to a different place.
    I selected multiple horsemen and I want each of them to atack a different vilagger.

    Hi, anyone has any idea how to manage the farmhouses after being invaded? Like I get invaded I tell my villagers to run away from farmhouses but then when I want to assign them again to each farmhouse, I get confused about which farmhouses are already in use by another villager, cause they might be out delivering food to the town center so they are not in the farmhouse so I don't know if I can put a villager in this farmhouse or not, any ideas??

    • @dracosspetentrio6016
      @dracosspetentrio6016 2 роки тому +3

      I assume you talk about farms, so wheat or rice.
      You just need to select all your villagers and rightklick on one farm, the villagers will spread out evenly, if they can't find a free farm they will go idle, so you see the icon light up. This also works with the rallypoint of the towncenter. Take one villager and give him the order to build multiple farms with the shift klick, now if your rally point is on a farm the new villager will automatically search for an empty farm.
      And as a last Tipp, if your farms are around the townhall and you get raided, just select your villagers and hit the g key and your villager will run to the nearest garrison, which usually is the towncenter. If it's save again select your towncenter and press d and your villagers go back to work.

    Other than the campaign, I am finding the game to be very hard. I get crushed in skirmish mode even in easy mode. A lot of things are hard to learn when your scrambling to stay alive. I would like a nice slow game so I can figure out how to build, advance and use all the pieces. For example, how to use traders and priest. These are probably useful but I am scrambling to react to attacks and keep things productive. My brain is not as fast as the computer.

    Such an useless video. Make one talking about stuff people don't know like: pressing F1 selects all military buildings, CTRL+Shift+C selects all military units, H selects the town center. You know, stuff specific to aoe4 which people might not know.
    Those are essential tips. "shift click queues order" is not -- this is a fundamental thing which every single RTS game out there has and if someone doesn't know that, then this is definitely their first game of the genre. Literally low effort in this video. Had to go out of my way to dislike this.
