When making farms you can Shift-Left click the mill or town center and the farms will get auto placed around them instead of having to place each individual farm.
A fellow Aus China player here... - turn off auto-collect on Imperial Officials, has to be done manually on each. - embrace the IO-boosted Zhuge Nu rush - Chinese are complex and need attention, ignore the hunts - no armoured units before age 3 sucks, beeline can pay off but it's risky It's good seeing the games you put up, helps my own gameplay.
@@surgeonsergio6839 The Imperial Offical is set to collect gold automatically on spawn, so even when put on Supervise it will occasionally walk away to collect then return to task. Which means you can lose that IO boost at critical moments. You can turn this off but has to be done on each IO. It'd be better if this was off by default so will hopefully get patched.
It's always good to deny Rus hunts. Whether or not you can do it isn't related to if you're playing chinese, but rather if you got the APM to do it while managing your other things.
Just noticed you passed SamuraiRevolution in subscribers! That's pretty damn cool. I was here for AoE3 at 1k and I'm staying for AoE4 and 50k. Nice work man.
@@danicule8671 not really. have just become excited about the game. I only have like 15 hours played, but I find his videos very entertaining and they line up for when I'm free
I am not a pro by any means, but here's my quick analysis based on what I felt while watching the game - -> An idle army is equal to wasted resource. You did have quite an army at the beginning, but there were NOT a lot of instances where you tried harassing the enemy or actively scouting him. I don't think his base was ever scouted throughout the whole game. -> Stealing hunts is definitely not a bad strategy, but it requires a lot of micro, and should be done only if you can effectively the macro aspect of the game. In AOE4, MACRO > MICRO. I felt that your boom was a bit stunted because of the micro aspect that demanded your focus. -> I felt you did not have enough of siege while initially pushing the center. You did have a good army, but reason the army lost was because of the castle, TC and mangonel fire, and also because of the choke points he created which effectively disconnected your melee units from your archers. Maybe if you had at least 2-3 more rams it could have had a different outcome. But well played! I believe you still are better than viper when it comes to AOE4.
@@anthonymillanta628 Drongo did win 2 games against Viper before this, you can search for those games on his channel. It doesn't mean who's better, just saying Viper did lose to Drongo
What type of dragging type do you recommend? The military drag is really weird since you cannot even drag villagers even when there’s no military highlighted
Watching you play is just as good as watching your casted game vids. I really appreciate how you explain what you’re doing as I love the game but am far from a pro player just yet, then again I haven’t put the most time into these games either (aoe2 and 4). But I do play a lot of other things competitively so obvi that’s what the plan is here. I need to get my hot keys down I see you use them as do a lot of other players
my 2cents why you lost:. when you attacked in the middle of the map/keep you have to send a scout there first - you attacked into the unknown . you sent 2 rams in, that got focused by the enemy - your army was distroyed by a mango which was not attacked .... so before attack, scout - then do a plan, what unit to attack first. if the units already attack - an attack command behind the enemy line wont work because they start attacking the nearest first...
how are you able to pick up the deer carcus with your scouts? I keep trying to do this but (playing the English) I can kill the deer but I can't seem top be able to pick up the deer, what is the magic answer? Do I need to enable something or wait ?
what is shooting the wolfs in ur first age? Is it a villager in the tc garrison? Im new to age of empires this is my first game in the series loving it so far!
This is by far my favourite. If you control the hill then you are king! As so clearly evidenced here :P If you are playing king of the hill you better play to be king or GG!! Thanks for the video bud! Edit: early game map control > than early game counter strats. Maybe if you were playing rus v rus it would be viable but id always defer for map control. Great game though! I learned the hard way too, springlads dont shoot up. Idk about the other siege weapons...
Watching you murder hunts so viper cannot is so funny 😂 By the way if you see this what Civ would you like to see next? Personally since AoE2 I am a big fan of Japanese civ. If they had four periods like Heian (710-1192), Kamakura (1192-1333), Muromachi (1338-1573), and Azuchi/Edo (1573-1868) representing the four ages that would be stellar.
I gotta say man, I much prefer your live commentary to your casted games, your a little over the top on the casted stuff, but live we get to see hear the gears turning and its great to watch.
Good game!! I think you started good. Then you stopped screening with cavalry to know what he's doing. The second think is the lack of farming you have to start adding farm earlier because once the berries and hunt is consumed don't have enought wood for 30 farms right away.
Do the Rus get a bonus to food gathering rates from hunts specifically? I get the value in killing the hunts, but not sure if it was worth the investment to also pickup the dead hunts.
Its 350 food per deer denial and you also gain that much food. He could just transition in to earlier farms though so it doesn't really change much long term.
@@rekrn12345 was it worth the investment into scouts plus the micro time? Early farms seems much more reliable and the scout resources could've been funneled into raiding lancers
@@s-man5647 If you use the scouts to harass after that and take a few villagers with them then yea otherwise not really. Its an early eco boost to delay farms but idk if its worth it in the big picture.
Stealing the hunts is fine you just have to use those scouts for something after. Best use is to harass the workers. 7 scouts can do some decent dmg behind enemy lines. As long as they pay for themselves its all good.
I don't get why other factions can magically deposit their bonus gold mechanic but China has to walk it back. The dude should just make the buildings he stands near deposit their gold.
@@LawrenceCaldwellAuthor aoe 4 has stad ground which is similar, IN AOE2 stand ground meant literally dont attack. Here they still attack if in range but dont proc movement.
Way too many sooks. Mans bloods up give him a rest. Hey Drongo, I want you to succeed mate. Would filter ya games a bit more mate too many sooks these days. Or just be you I don’t care just an observation.
I like Aussie as a caster much more than playing. While playing he loses his temper quite hard, language is getting not enjoyable and tactics seem a bit naiv.

It's slightly slower for the vills to reach them. I think there was a boit video on it
Thanks for the tip!!
Drongo: Rus are OP, they can steal your hunts
Also Drongo: Steals hunts from Rus with any civ
enemy picks rus. drongo : Now I am Rus.

Keeps and walls both get built fairly quick for how much defense they provide.
I agree, the building time should get nerfed.
shift+click on the mill while building fields places them perfectly around it if there are no obstacles
Viper is a really chilled out guy when he loses he doesn't act like a little teenage boy.
Grow up and learn from him a bit more.
Because you've never raged when you've lost or if chat calls you salty because your bitter when you lost. Grow up and become a robot please.

Sooo…. Basically, you opened up as the Rus, against the Rus. Seems smart.

AoE4 releases on October 28, 2021 and is available Day 1 on Xbox Game Pass.
You also need to wall sooner, at least one front. You're constantly left wife open to mid game raids that splits your focus
Have you tried a Barbican rush, Drongo?
How is your color red instead of blue
Hehe goes from calm commentary to yelling to the screen 😄 I feel bro but then again it's Viper. GG at match up

Professional Scouts tech at the mill.

Rus players gain bounty by killing the Gaia , wolf's and sheep really.
So killing them off stops the opponent doing it and gaining gold.
how are you playing with viper? did u guys agree to custom games or are u on all servers?
vid had me laughing out loud. viper is so cheeky
I am super rusty on aoe. But how does he farm drop that quickly? Seen him do it with other stuff too? Also, more Drongo is great.
Select farms, then hold shift while spamming left click
@@ruru9886 Is there a hotkey for farms? He might not even be clicking it.

“Just killing them to deny him them” as a Rus player I felt this 😞
You mean in rela life?
I think not killing that manganel fast enough and having only 2 ram instead of 3 is what screwed you up in that middle battle.
I gotta say man, I much prefer your live commentary to your casted games, your a little over the top on the casted stuff, but live we get to see hear the gears turning and its great to watch.

Hi I main HRE could we get some footage or guides of them that would be just awesome
Guides? Position your Prelates so that they can immediately pick up 3 relics and carry them to the Reglitz Cathedral. 900 gold per minute.
Do the Rus get a bonus to food gathering rates from hunts specifically? I get the value in killing the hunts, but not sure if it was worth the investment to also pickup the dead hunts.
You pick up the dead hunts because thats the best source of food, doesnt matyer what civ you have

Hmm, I couldn't sworn I've picked up boars in the campaign before. Guess I misremembered
you can't carry boars for some reason... yeah don't ask why not...

I agree Just force idle time moving around the cav can create an edge. Not necessarily killing villagers you gain advantage
3 bombard clears that hill.
Wrekt.
Man, i want to play this game so badly!!
the go for the only sacred site was a no brainier.
Can your pc run it?
I don't get why other factions can magically deposit their bonus gold mechanic but China has to walk it back. The dude should just make the buildings he stands near deposit their gold.
"Always picking up their gold. So annoying.". That's kinda the schtick of bureacrats
I love drongo, bans a guy for saying salty 😂💀
And that guy was you i would guess?
I think the early game was played really well, but the push on this town center with 1 ram turned the game, because the attack was just bad
7:07 lmao!!! FJB!
You went to late in the Dynastie i think 2tc + 35% faster worker production as early as you can is Chinas key but y eazyer sad than done :)
Dude, language, lol
Troops should not auto chase enemies into the range of castles unless you manually command them to.
They should. Seperates good from bad micro players

go farms forget hunts.

Nah, most of his titles are misleading and the other guy wins instead. Can't do that all the time ofc if you want to keep people guessing.
