@@AussieDrongo I suspect AoE4 will have drop off points for the majority of civilisations. So I sadly doubt that they would unite along with there being no cards and so many other features that are only found it aoe2 :/

A torp may not injure a villager or, through inaction, allow a villager to come to harm. A torp must obey the orders given it by villager except where such orders would conflict with the first law. A torp must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the first or second law.

[@liderauto2138]

very good! cheers from Brazil

[@napoleon950]

the question at 8:30~ has a slightly different answer in my opinion. with torps being bad on wood, I can agree with that, but the trees itself are useful, especially later in the game and on maps with little woods (great plains, or when turtling) you may be able to harvest the trees with villagers so you can keep on building and upgrading units when other civs may run dry

[@TheSead95]

The biggest IQ manuever I learned from here is "Delete the Torp". Would have never thought "What if I just rebuild it". Also when you were doing the QNA kind of thing I thought at first this was a clip from a live-stream but then discovered you were doing a sort of satirical ted talk kind of thing. Was pretty funny.

[@julianreichstein6365]

Hi thank you for your awesome content man. Would appreciate a vid about all revolution changes in the DE.

[@jjfro]

Question for you. With Torps - would it be worth it to invest in livestock pens to continue feeding the torps over the course of the game? I never use livestock pens but it seems like they would be good for the Swedes.

[@Thebluebridgetroll]

Interesting, it’s like they took the idea of Napoleonic Era 2’s special torp (it was also the barracks) and combined it with Wars of Liberty’s Swedish Gathering Building (sawmill I think)

[@henrikrose7013]

Could the tree card be good if the torpes are arranged in a way, that multiple torps gather from the tree they spawn. E.g. like a pentagon, so you have at least 5 trees each gathered by 5 torps. That way each torp gathers 15 wood as a baseline. If you manage to place them in a way, that each one has multiple trees from the map to cover, and at least 1-3 should be achievable, a single torp would gather 18-24 wood per minute, which is not to shabby since with careful placement even more trees should be in range per torp

[@hanerturk7271]

[@TheRewasder97]

A question regarding the fish and torps. Does the fish regenerate faster than the torp consumes it? It's supposed to generate 1 food per second

[@iwersonsch5131]

Torps seemed to be balanced around gathering from only either one source of coin, one huntable, one herdable, one berry bush, a number of trees, or one crate at a time... Instead, they can gather coin, berries, one huntable, one livestock, and several crates at the same time

[@TheLuc224]

Wow dude nice Video. Got my Abo

[@WiggaMachiavelli]

How would the improved tree gather radius interact with the Finnish infinite tree card? What if you group your torps together near blockhouses? Is it still just better to use wood crates? How do coin crates compare to prospector wagons for Finland?

[@marcwillis236]

I prefer the more basic delivery rather than this stylised version.

[@jyotsnasrivastava6373]

It was fun but ,basic delivery is fine. I too prefer basic delivery over stylized. Anyways it doesnt make much difference its just matter of preference. I Really Loved your Video.

[@Joshuamrsnrub325]

hi dude, entering jailds tourney, and I'm doing sweden cannons for my team. so imma keep vils on food and wood and thinking of putting torps on berry bushes rather than mines, what cards would benefit me the most?

[@AussieDrongo]

Hey mate, so because Torps spawn with berry bushes already, you won't need to do that as they can only gather from 1 bush at a time, what will be best for you to do is this: In age 1 ship blueberries Age up with the logistician and use it to make the artillery foundry Put all your vills on wood once you're aging, make 3 torps while you are aging, Ship 2 leather cannons as your first card and after that 700w 600w, Once you are aged up, keep all your villagers on food except 4-5 on wood. All new villagers should go to food. You should still put your torps on mines, and build a market with your first 700w and use it to buy more food and wood. You should ship ironworks as fourth card. This build will be able to do heaps of cannons in age 2.

[@Joshuamrsnrub325]

Aussie_Drongo thanks bud, just bit confused y I’d ship ironworks if cannons r only food and wood?

[@alejochol9397]

@@Joshuamrsnrub325 i guess it's because torps work great on mines, spawn their own berries and should not be built to gather wood. It's the most efficient way to boost your economy and you're bound to use coin anyways
