Thanks for watching and supporting! :) - Ігри
So my main take away from this is that to play Byz just do whatever because your opponent has even less of an idea of what your are capable of.
Civs like this make me wonder how perfectly and innovatively can a game designer be....Amazingly well depicted civ. Microsoft we love you! New mechanics historically accurate and funny in game. Well fokin done!
@@MrBiff123 higher skill requirement is extremely satisfying for me brother but i get it.
I still hope to see Portugal, Spain, USA in the game, the game promises to evolve a lot, I remember at the beginning of Age IV, it was criticized for being too cartoony, with each new update the game proved to be more mature and less colorful, we hope they continue improving the graphics of this game, for me this Age Of Emperies is the best of all.
@@VFXABI love to see Vikings and Spain in the future
Hell yeah Vikings they should have published them right from the beginning!
How can you want USA? it didn't exist at that time...
Mercenary contracts and olive oil is like embassy contract and export from AOE3 Asian Dynasties. Likewise, building mercenary house on neutral market is just like trading post on the site producing native warriors in aoe3. Love seeing good game mechanics salvaged for 4
Lot of new civs take inspiration from aoe3 and I love it
@@henrifortier8621 and I also love that that's just part of 1 civ, so if I don't like the mechanic or it overwhelms me, I can just pick another civ. Think that's really cool =)
Almost makes me want to go play some aoe3
@@TheCth777 same but playerbase is small :( even aoe4 is small sadly
You can use the oil to sell on market fast and get a ridiculously fast castle,
Winery first, drop market as soon as it finish, sell all your oil and place the next landmark right away, pump out heavy infantry or cataphracts with monks healing and mercenaries once in castle.
the good thing about that cataphract charge is that you could bypass any blocks trying to protect enemy siege
Literally when chat sees anything new: "Dude, this is broken."
Dude this is broken 😉
They are so annoying lol
Thank you for the video, Beast, I had been waiting for this!
This is a brilliant, comprehensive video. Cheers, Beasty!
Just bought AOE 4 today just so I can play as the Byzantines lol
These vids are great primers. I have been playing the new civs, but this is definitely filling gaps in my knowledge helping me think up new strats.
Very nice, yet complicated civ. Love this DLC. Feels like christmas.
didn't expect similarities to WC3 human, call to arms and defend (shield wall on spears), very cool
As a greek iam happy that they speak greek….like in aom game….hehe nice gameplay 🎉🎉 💪💪 if they change to aoe2 the same will be better. There are italians romans and Sicilians to speak dialect of latin !!! Keep nice content you are the best
prostagma
prostagma?
Χαχαχα ναιιι yess
Vulome!@@radiobrain94
Oikos
Looks very fun!
Great. Unfortunately I can't play that much so i will stay probably with japanes or order of the Dragon. Your video helps a lot to.understand this civ and to develop a gameplan against them
Subbed! Love this
Grand Winery very overpowered, 100%food and 80%olive oil (also effected bye farming effectiveness) * 1.17 water bonus * 1.3 final landmark unit production.
Limitanei very good in 4v4, allow infinite unit production without trade, since only 10wood costs
just watched the japan video and this drops nice
Which unique unit is your favorite?
Byzantine: Yes.
Byzantines pushed AOE4 to another level of gameplay, i love this Civ and that was the reason than i bought this game !
the greek fire rams units are actually extremely good for destroying big buildings, like keeps and TC's, if you catch you're opponent off guard. I love them!
I'm so glad I'm watched this. Now Byzantines sound simple :D
I've been playing Byzantines for a while now. I believe they are strongest early on in the game. Late Feudal, to early castle. The Limitanei Spear Wall push, paired with archers and Keshik mercenaries is just unstoppable. You throw down a couple of fire rams too and you get yourself a win.
I mean its very hard to counter and transitions well in early castle. Even when my opponent gets a few man at arms to fight my spear and bow combination, you got the keshiks to handle that early castle defence transition from your opponent.
Later on in the game although Byz have good units and options, they are not as strong as in Feudal. The Byz are also very gold hungry. If your opponent starves you off gold you are in deep trouble. For example I never make cataphracts because they are soooo expensive, and die quite easily against crossbows. You cant get cataphracts and siege, you gotta choose, and you pick siege. Why make them? I get the free Keshik mercenaries anyway.
Yassss
referencing the aqueducts being connected to stone walls. doesnt this aoe update also allow us to connect to allied stone walls?...?...? also curious if a wood wall can connect to a stone now?
you are the best
One thing more, this imperial trecuchet upgrade called "greece fire" provides 30% more damage to EVERY SINGEL F RANGE UNIT OR BUILDING, that mean your keep or outpost cannon deal
73 ->95 damage on full upgrade, mangonella 11 -> 14 (very OP with siege damage that ignore just armor) and arrow replacements deal 17 damage, also strelsy and cannoners are very op because thay deal 55 damage, elite longbow mans deal 19 and with arrow rain ability it's tottally clearing field from non knight or siege units, I don't test it with tower elephat but I think this elphats fasty crossbow mans can be big problem for others, it's so OP that I don't know it's real or just bug...
Byzantine unit speak greek when you tell them to move or attack etc. And the wonder is AGia Sofia Temple!!
It seems like the stone amount is based on the building footprint, not the cost.
Very good explanation of this race!
Another civ with elephants?! I'm happy
Not sure if it's because of changes, but there several errors in the first two minutes already.
Like, buildng stone generation isn't based on cost, but on the area of the building. And trading ships don't provide olive oil (unless they do an it's an UI bug)
"I guess the water's in the walls now" -Beasty, 2023
It said on the Imperial landmark he chose that cisterns influence affect it, I'm guessing it gets better odds, anyone knows?
1:32
Maybe, instead of olive oil, it should just be oil.
I don't think you can find many olives in the sea or in a lake or river.
And another unique thing about the civ.. *repeat infinitly*
Can we connect 2 aqueducts more than once (one more just in case the enemies break one)
treb fire does burn units, mastery mission wants you to kill with the fire
Mehmed II liked this
Building houses late game to get stone seems a lot cheaper/consistent than a market after stone price skyrockets
The new civs & branches are op and packed with unique units... Old civs are salty 😢
In my opinion it would be better if they left the berserkers and running out of ships for the vikings or something, this would fit perfectly into their raids. But man, these skills look AMAZING
Could be that they implement those same techs to a norse civ maybe. :) Would be cool if a viking civ has units that also construct ships (viking longships) that are a hybrid between transport- and attackships, which maybe could be transported over land and get raiding loot when attacking other ships. Also instead of speed maybe the units get an attack buff when they land. Can't wait either how :D
I mean the Varangian guard were made up of Norse warriors. Hopefully the actual Viking civ will be this cool.
Do the mercenary units receive their unique upgrades e.g. are French Mercenary Knights the value as say English Knights, or do they have the charge bonus, the extra health etc.?
They have their unique upgrades.
@@shadearca they only get all upgrades with the last mercenary landmark, otherwise they their unique upgrades
Those man at arms should have been kept for a future viking civ, i mean beserking plus building transport ship plus movement speed on landing ...
They are Vikings. Bysantines used viking troops in addition to all their other mercenaries.
i didnt know thx (i hope they release vikings civ tho xd)@@solitaryrecluse7740
Does spear brace block cataphract charge?
Does Greek Fire affect the Huihuipao?
What are you doing, step cistern?
1000 likes here🎉
hail byz
"Is it strong? ... Yes, it's shooting mangonels from a tower"
I Wonder if the Scout ability to increase Fire damage... how well it would synergize with the Greek Fire Rams? From the one video I saw of them they are absolutely busted already with their ability to burn down enemy buildings... give them a 25% damage buff and it would be straight war crimes.
It buffs "torch" damage. So it's not the fire ram.
@@camroth89 that's unfortunate... that would have been glorious.
Someone tell Jaysus04 of the twitch chat, to make him feel better, that Byzantines historically did employ bombard cannons and hand cannoneers.
Fun fact: Varangian guards are Vikings and yes they were really badass and feared in history.
Eh they where Saxons, Norse, and Rus. Not just Vikings.
personally I think they really didn't give the Byzantines enough complexity, its just all so simple!
let's go baby
WIth short range and weakness to demo i think Dromons are going to suck hard.
Since Byzantines need a PhD to play, does that mean Beasty is just casually handing out free college courses?
got it, berries have more olive oil than olive orchards, makes sense.
when u said, "now your villagers are now clapping cheeks" I spat my coffee on my screen xD
Thank God aqueduct works with stone walls
☧
PROSTAGMA !
gotta say: I love both Byzantines as well as Japanese. Not really sold on the variants though - especially Order of the dragon looks like its not good for the game.
I love byzantines but they seem insanely OP given that they have access to basically all the unique units in the game lol
house upgrade and the unique upgrades in hippodrome are way too cheap
👍
why know scout see shinobi or not??
At 46m a boar is chewing a war horses ass off bite by bite. Just mentioning.
Relic can make this faction like this but can’t make a decent and fun faction for COH3
hahaah i'm dead, i'm dead.
just to be safe, stone walls Aquaducts in base :)
You sound like Max Verstappen sometimes hahah
"you need phd to play this civ, lets get into it!"
Me, who started today: "No" :)
*leaves*
Am I insane for thinking Byzantines don't feel over complex/complicated?
Only 1 hour vid, ez civ...
It seems to me that the Byzantine knights will be stronger than the French knights.
hey mum can we get the imperial hippodrome
naw we have one at home
the one at home: school of calvary
IMPERIAL HIPPODROME AKA SCHOOL OF CALV GEN 2
time stamps :)
Demo ships need a mushroom cloud
Mongol age 4 lamdmark which generate units is very weak comparing to Byzantine mechanics
i need a PhD to understand this civ 😂
byz knighjs pretty much elephants ahahhaha
poor guy
i think they need to nerf the Aqueducts to stonewall. either they have to be close or they cannot be connected to stone wall
So 6 out of those "civ bonuses" are really just the same civ bonus: harvest olive oil and use it buy other faction units (without their unique upgrades). Make of that what you will.
Woot
What even is this map? All the big gold on the north and all the fish on the east, all trade heads west. 3 Relics also north for a grand total of 4 relics?
My main civ, cuz im greek..
why Rus have no varangian guard >_< that's beyond innnacurate cause they were the first varangians to establish rus
Bro, they added a beefy hero unit that never killed anyone in history and you are focusing on historical accuracies? Aoe4 has long dropped the ball in that department lmao
@@sirp7394 I'm saying like they could give it to the Rus. And also, idk why their lancers arent called druzhina 🤦🏼♂️ like don't get me wrong they've done a great job with the new civs, but man. The other civs like, lord do they need an upgrade. The original 8 I'm talking about.
@@roballister5269 i had same thought but decided to discard it* from the fact of how well done the Rus are in the game
I just can’t ignore how similar that banner is to the icon for the Byzantines is in Civ6 😄
lol 30 min dark age and feudal for explanation
Twitch chat takes are hilarious.
"Yeah bro water on fire realism..😂"
"Fr bro one of the mythical elements of Greek fire is that it burned even in water"
Dude never seen an oil rig fire...and was afk for deep water horizon
I hate that they get other Civ specific units
.
Jesus... and I struggle with English...
I am Greek and the npcs in this civ speaks Greek and it is so crenge
Im banned from beasty stream for saying im conq 2 i can beat 4 golds ez and then saying just kidding im silver
Byzantines is broken
The Greek fire ship you mentioned is actually a Liburnian ship which is the Croatia nowadays. The Greeks have nothing to do with it.
That flask seem way too op
