Age of Empires 4 - Wall In ALL THE THINGS

[@Ewooy]

If the game is balanced you get mind games. If it's not people count on specific units / boring strategies. I think this is a great sign.

[@TheGoldennach]

21:10 that wall trap is so good!!

[@ughitstravis9243]

It was brilliant lol

[@zwojack7285]

Regarding the relic on the minimap: if you explore it, the icon will stay on the map until the relic is moved and you have LoS on the spawn site again. Then the marker is removed. No new marker will show up for the new position though.

Aussie you and AoE 4 are gonna grow so much in the next 6 months

[@Sjimbwow]

How is AoE4 gonna grow? You think there's many people waiting for fixes or sth before they buy/play? I think we had the highest peak it could possibly get with release and now it's just gonna stay around these numbers or shrink. Why do you think it will grow? Don't get me wrong, I do hope so but it seems it's just a really small amount of players that likes this genre.

[@Nightstar3242]

@@Sjimbwow Many people are waiting for rank to get implemented... Numbers will rise I think but not by that much, but aoe4 has that charm that will attract new players... Which other aoe games lacked. If new people have to join the aoe franchise than they will join aoe4 not aoe2 and aoe3 imo... It's really hard to get high player numbers in rts because of MOBAs these days,.. it's so sad, Because rts is just so much fun....

It's not AoE4. RTS genre is just niche. It has been like that for over a decade.

@@Sjimbwow It's a good game and Microsoft is doing a good job at publishing it so no question it's growing.

That trap card was PERFECT!! Love to see skirmish cav get taken to task like that. Absolutely hilarious.

[@848hjhmg]

I found this Channel 2 days ago And absolutely love it. Amazing videos, keep up the good work man!

[@mattstephen7494]

Seeing my favourite faction HRE dominate the Rus is just the most satisfying thing to see. Some excellent plays made by Hut / Goliath.

[@c_j73]

Excellent match up! love the foresight of springing that wall trap in the corner.... simply stunning bit of play!

[@Janovich]

That warrior monk was the most exciting play ive ever seen xD

[@lucasmohallem8136]

Wow, this was one of the coolest games you've casted so far. For starters, I love HRE. But man, Goliath just played so seemlesly this game!

[@ehad1753]

Loved the wall trap so much

Someone has to do a Capture the Flag mode when mobs are up. Imagine the chaos.

[@rafaellum]

Fantastic game 👏👌 HRE vs RUS is such an interesting matchup with all the relic hunting

[@tomm7289]

loving the all content!

[@xw33b36]

seeing rus lose horribly is the most pleasurable thing in all of age of empires 4

[@wolflink9000]

I like seeing Chinese and Mongols losing more personally.

[@mailboro]

I guess the devs have expected to have a meta with walls. It's more realistic and that's what they advertised

[@noirhftam2824]

that walling trap reminded me of the infamous war of ancient China between Qin and Zhou...

[@nateofthesouth]

What's the music video with "I was only playing Swedes!" That's been stuck in my brain lately.

[@habodea]

Nice narration dude, keep it up!

[@biogoo]

I like how in most of these games, the player who decides to make mangonels to counter the enemy mass units always consequently fails to micro the mangonel shots and then proceeds to lose the game due to the wasted resources on those mangonels.

[@GoinCrazy25-8]

Story of my life smh

[@jcrisci01]

4:00 the only problem with that idea is if you have a priest to pick up the relic and move it why not just bring it back to base

[@TormDeltest]

Because of mindgames! If there are 2 relics close to each other and you have only single monk, you can mess with your enemy. You can force him into thinking you actually have 2 monks and stole both relics. Meanwhile you stole only one and hid the other one for which you will return eventually.

[@wolta87]

incredible game and nicely casted as well

[@아재지만덕후]

This game should not dissuade devs to nerf horse archer. Still ridiculously strong for the cost, easy to amass and really no hard counters when they reach critical mass.

[@JulianSildenLanglo]

I hope we will get some good 8 player content soon. 1v1 is fun, but 8 player is where the real action is.

[@natalinovakova9276]

If think Holy Roman Empire is underpowered in AoE4. I really miss teutonic knights from AoE2. Landsknecht are so fragile.

[@ChristopherPunton]

His username "The Bugged Prelate" I love it lol!!

[@nabjhansson9563]

What does meta mean in this context? Seems to be used synonymously with ‘strategy’. Should the genre name be changed to ‘real time meta’?

[@boosterh1113]

Meta means the "the prevailing consensus about what is a good/bad strategy." It is short for metagmae, which literally means "the game around the game." The easiest way to think about it is "what strategies are in (or out of) fashion at the moment." As an example, you don't often see things like Dark Age aggression because, although the tools for it are in the game, it is considered quite weak. Thus, you don't see players making early defences, because their knowledge of the metagame tells them that their opponent probably won't attack in the Dark Age.

If a villiger has food in its inventory and is tasked for wood does that food disappear?

[@chrisnewtownnsw]

yes

you would loose at least half if not more of them trying to go around...

[@Tai182]

Walls are being used!

[@user-tj5yg5pk8v]

What kind of madman would suggest walling in their opponent whilst taking all the map resources

[@Alfie-ni7lx]

Rus feel really weak unless they are on open maps that are harder to wall otherwise if the enemy is smart all they do is wall off your scouts and you can't pick up their deer. I've even had games where my side was 1 relic 0 boar and that crippled me because he just build stone walls quick and I was just walled out of the game in a way

[@LawrenceCaldwellAuthor]

The Rugged Pellet? I did enjoy the cast, Drossy Yongo. Thanks for putting it up. ; )

[@gorrarz5760]

goliath playing HRE plus this awesome trap? i have a new favorite player i guess

[@illmaster]

Is it just me or sometime Prelate won't inspire automatically even after the new patch?

[@Zagskrag]

I'm pretty sure that they listed the Prelate bug in the patch notes only under the "known issues", and haven't gotten around to actually fixing it yet.

[@UltrasRapid1992]

yep, still happens. Devs know it. But at least it works most of the time now.

[@5ynth3ticNZ]

Why drop the relic in a bush and not your own vaults?

[@Zagskrag]

I guess you could pick up and drop multiple relics before carrying one home, to trick your opponent into thinking that they've lost the race for relics that are still available. Although it would probably require some peculiar relic spawns to actually make it worthwhile (they would have to be fairly close to one another or along the same path so as to not waste a lot of time traveling between them).

I'm guessing everyone's trying to play like the Delhi now? Their Infantry can build walls and I saw a game where the Delhi player just spams walls around Sacred Sites and his enemy's base. With several layers to boot.

again, RUS IS IN A BAD SPOT. stop saying they're tier S and stop making weird titles.

[@berserk1934]

How??

[@williamschubert4819]

@@berserk1934 while Matt said it badly, the cav archer/scout play is really it's only strong option but it's easily countered by enough archers especially Zhuge nu and long bows. Scouts are just too useless to perform well as a meat shield against ranged because you can just ignore them. Rus get good too late, mid/late castle and imperial age. They should never linger too long in feudal unless they're making a killing blow.

[@alexejvornoskov6580]

@@williamschubert4819 You shoulndt linger in feudal as any race - progressing in age give advantage to every single one of them - much more so then wasting ressources at low tier units, that simply take too long to destroy enemy, so you risk him recovering and stiking back in early ages.

[@williamschubert4819]

@@alexejvornoskov6580 true but I feel like English, China, Mongols, French have some strong either offensive, defensive or economic power to get up to the next age even if they are feeling the pressure in feudal. It feels like Rus need those relics to have an economic bonus and MaA or normal knights to counter the archers of a pressure. Even early knights look weak. Rus need to go up before they start losing ground to larger or stronger armies/economies. Rus seem to be weaker than most civs when both are in the same age, except imperial. Same with HRE until Castle age

[@alexejvornoskov6580]

@@williamschubert4819 Then simply avoid fighting and wall up(rus wood walls are stonger compared to others) while getting gold bonus from killing animals and building up economy. While you may have hard time attacking your enemy, he woulndt be able to do anything to you either. Its not a starcraft with zerg rush, you easily can stop enemies from reaching you. And trying to take down any walls in early game cost too much time, while making your units easy target to ranged one on other side. By the time one breaches a wall, you suffered too much loses anyway, so your advantage is gone. And especially in early ages you can gather ressources fast enough to rush trough them, if you dont waste them on units that would end up dying in some useless clashes over nothing. Knights can wait, archers rip trough them, as early they have way to strong numerical advantage.

[@Kaeineir]

Walls are toxic. They are built extremely quickly and take forever to kill. This stifles aggression and promotes turtling. Their build time should be nerfed significantly

[@AFH-wp8jl]

its a dead game
