Artosis experiences his First Mongol TC Rush - [Age of Empires IV]

Hoo boy what to say about this one.
I mean, outside of Artosis getting Mongol TC Rushed. I thought that was pretty funny.
But the question, "Does this mean you're going to do more Artosis highlight videos?" it's really going to depend on how this video does. I've really been itching to make more RTS content as RTS games are definitely my genre of choice, and this presented a good excuse to jump back into it.
I have a lot of thoughts about this, but I'll stuff them for now. For now, don't read too much into this video. It might be a one off, it might lead into something else. Who knows.
I've been doing a lot of experimentation with the channel lately, and while I'm much happier with the content I've been producing, I'm sure for the viewers it might be confusing and/or possibly frustrating. I've really been all over the place.
And while I don't think that's necessarily a 'good' thing for the channel, I think it's a good thing for me because this allows me to still have fun with this hobby of mine.
I think the worst thing that could happen is that I just burn myself out and I stop making videos altogether - and I don't want that because I want to be doing this for some time. Experimenting, at least for right now, is a lot of fun for me and I'm excited to keep making videos.
I feel like there was something else I wanted to say but I can't think of anything right now. I guess I'm like a dog chasing cars.
Alright I'm done ranting.

LOL i love the zoom at 0:58 those reporting options are insane

[@Frudgey]

Right?!? I saw those and was like "holy moly what kind of people do they think are playing AoE 4?!" I thought they were pretty funny at least. Thanks for watching Rumford Chimpenstein!

[@JohnDoe-ju7wi]

Got into Artosis because of your channel, now I watch his SC casts and streams a lot. He is one of my favorites.

[@Frudgey]

I really feel like I owe the success of my channel to Tastosis as doing highlights on those two is really what got me my start. Thanks for watching John!

[@chairmantripley1352]

LMAO 😂 I love how you zoomed in on the dumbfounded look on Artosis face when suddenly sees his enemy’s TC next to his 😂😂😂😂.

[@Frudgey]

Haha glad you picked up on that! I thought he looked a bit shocked which is why I decided to zoom in. Thanks for watching the video Chairman TripleY!

[@bakkenal6702]

I'm down to watch whatever you post. It's interesting to see new genres of games that I normally wouldn't get exposure to

[@Frudgey]

Hey thanks Bakkenal - that means a lot to me! Sometimes I'm hesitant to post things that AREN'T Melee related because I know so many of you are Melee fans, but I want to be a little more comfortable with experimenting every now and then.

@@Frudgey I'm not a melee guy, also Canadian here too however! If you're in Ontario, did you pay attention to the Toronto tournaments... years ago at least? I largely only know melee from an old friend, although haven't been in touch for years, but know David Gif/Give. But I actually come to watch the other content... even if that content is few and far between. You make some really fantastic stuff.

@@justincronkright5025 Hey thank you for the kind words Justin, it means a lot. :)

Ha! Can't say that I disagree haha. Thanks for watching the video SnakeEyes342!

[@TheMrYadrian]

Artosis' reaction when he found out that he is rushed already after turning to the screen is priceless!

[@Frudgey]

Haha I thought that was pretty good as well. I liked the timing of that haha. Thanks for watching the video TheMrYadrian!

Violent extremism hahahahahah

I honestly thought he was going to report the player for that as well haha. Thanks for watching Fearan!

[@benjaminyoung9694]

This was an unhealthy amount of salt. I love it

[@Frudgey]

Haha, I think Artosis is one of the saltiest players I know! Thanks for watching Benjamin!

[@slakrij]

i have no idea what's going on but this seems like something i'd do

[@Frudgey]

The problem with liking RTS games but making Melee videos is that when I DO decide to make a an RTS video a lot of people don't know what's going on haha. Regardless thanks for watching Narwaffles!

[@habddz]

artosis this is my suggestion. just like in broodwar where you have a scv in the enemy base until they get dragoons or zergling speed, you can build a scout and run circles around their town center until they buy a knight/stable with perfect information. towers and outposts dont really stop scout since they need way more resources than the value of your scout. lots of AOE4 players simply dont wanna scout the enemy despite doing so in every other RTS

[@Stormfox93]

Twitch streamer performing a Mongol TC rush: I am going to do Mongol TC rush. Look at this amazing tactic! Also, Twitch streamer but on the receiving end of Mongol TC rush: This has to be patched, this is overpowered. (PS: nothing personal against Artosis. I based this on multiple clips from multiple twitch streamers I've seen so far)

[@Frudgey]

Oh man I think that's just the human nature. Someone benefits from something? "That's great!" Someone is on the receiving end of something? "ARGH THIS IS HORRIBLE!" Thanks for watching Stormfox!

[@Gonzalo_105]

How is "terrorism" a report option? smh

[@Frudgey]

Yeah I was a little surprised by that myself. Seems a little extreme!

[@rkraccoons]

NoFluxes (3rd place at this years SSC) highlights or Joey Bat(s) highlights (crazy good Ness player)?

[@Frudgey]

I'll keep those tucked in the back of my head for ideas - right now I'm not really looking to make Melee highlight videos but thank you for the suggestions regardless!

[@VoidExileYT]

Isn't he talking in the wrong chat?

[@Frudgey]

Haha indeed he was! Thanks for tuning in Void Exile!

[@strajkz]

Well, if he had put his villagers inside his TC instead of raging in TEAM chat which the other dude didn't even see at all, he could had won the match since his TC would overpower the mongol, unless the mongol was already making a Landmark since it skipped to 3 minutes to show this.

[@Arthur-ux9ez]

I didn't understand a thing, but the tank creating a building next to the opponent's base seems pretty abusive

[@mgtowstanleyzoltanov9808]

Supposed to be a movable shatra

[@Arthur-ux9ez]

@@mgtowstanleyzoltanov9808 Dude, not gonna lie, I never played this game, I don't know what a shatra is

[@Frudgey]

That's essentially what it was - being able to construct a fortress right next to an opponent's town center pretty easily. In terms of Melee, it'd be like if Fox's shine had the same knockback as Ganondorf's Warlock Punch - though I'm sure there'd be someone in the comments telling me that that'd be a nerf for Fox haha.

[@PeterParker-yg6fc]

more aoe bra

[@Frudgey]

I'd like to do more AoE content! Just have to figure out what ot make. Thanks for watching the video Peter Parker!
