true :)

[@thrax9054]

I am diamond and have been losing every game with this. Don't use it. It is not good. (I just don't want to play against it)

[@SmokeDrake]

What do you loose to?

[@ashtonmayfield9217]

OTD honestly handles it pretty good if you can get out crossbows/spears at a decent time 😊

[@crabbylabbe]

Jiggle is going to steal your build now

[@Goodgamewellplayed1312]

I would have preferred a guide on how to defend this 🥺

[@mickioo]

Not quite a tutorial, but he mentioned it later; - Don't ever go 2TC against this - A: Go feudal all in with a civ that can do it (but not with knights) and deny gold - B: Rush castle as well and defend with a lot of spears and crossbows if you can get em. Eventually the cistern healing effect will stop being as effective due to the flasks running out.

Most important sentence: U wanne end it fast. ... there u get me.

Beasty brotherrr Used this tuturial get into diamond from silver in 10 hours wow Stuck in silver for 4 season

[@VideoMixer1000]

then you will get kicked out easily :) When i played sc2 i met quite a lot of guys in master league that rushed their way into it. I said "if you stop this 1 tactic shit" then it will show that you lack the skill, mechanics and micro to even be here. And i was right nearly every time. If you didntescape silver and now reached diamond with 1 strategy then im sorry when its patched you will be silver very fast again :)

@@VideoMixer1000 as toxic as it can get :)

[@SuicuneSheepy]

How is one stuck in silver anyway? Any guide will bring you out of it immediately 😂

[@BLKBeard76]

Since the main counter to the cataphracts is massed spearmen, would it not be better to go longbow every time and javelins against English?

[@ScurvyDog5-rx9xg]

Oh dude your guides, have propelled me to diamond 10 fold, I wouldv'e never escaped Gold for sure

@VideoMixer1000 I hit diamond 2 months ago bub, and I've almost hit conq several times with multiple civs, hater lmao

[@checkmate8849]

Literally every byz main does this build on ladder. Only lost to it once with zhu xhi. Attacking their gold or berries in feudal is effective. Diving woodline to deny farms or production works too if the opponent is dented

[@Minimat5567]

Feels bad skipping Hippodrome even when the plan is to go full cavalry. Wonder what they can do to help that landmark.

[@justinmahoney3512]

Thought same thing but winery just too valuable with like 3 sets of mercs by time you start pumping cataphracts

[@mememachine6022]

It isnt even bad but grand winery gives you so much more flexibility with the mercs

[@yohocx5521]

i have played this build literally week before it got popularity, just because I hated random unit spawn from other landmark.

[@Wolowizard-k3t]

Camels from Ayubids with healers can be also and option to defeat that

[@schmagges4452]

you ruined the game because you made a guid for it!

[@MrDawnRise]

Shut your mouth

[@samgreen1050]

Lol

[@sas554]

Completely agree... this season is the worst ever created and all players, from plat on, are doing the same broken things that guy like this put in their videos!

[@travisC6378]

@@sas554 first time?

[@BlackedFriday]

@@sas554this is like every multiplayer game though. Someone finds out the best way to win and everyone starts doing it until it gets patched. Then on to the next thing. It’s annoying but expected

[@Demon_Lord]

the momment i saw on 7:49 the cistern of the first hill i was shocked XD i thought maybe the quality of the vid was bad and i was watching something wrong

[@koku4411]

was plat with abbasid, went to gold 1 with delhi (bcs i suck at multi tasking), now plat agin with this. thanks 💀

[@chriswestin2144]

This build tho... Undefeated with it on first 5 go arounds

[@bernhardbrodowsky3261]

A lot of people play this against me. I think it can be good but some people tunnel vision a bit too much and still make cataracts if I build spears out of 4 barracks...

[@TOBINLAI-zq5hk]

Jiglyturd really put beasty in his place lol

[@Legacy0901]

I'm sure you were asked this before, but why not go Hippodrome if you're going all cavalry all in castle? Even if you don't build any horseman in Fuedal, you're still stacking up Triumph which seems way more useful than a mill/monastery

[@SNOWMANBOIII]

more oil = more early mercenaries and more mercenaries later

[@pedestrian6402]

I experimented with a friend on French royal bloodlines knights vs cataphracts (both castle). The French Knights tore the cataphracts apart (on equal unit costs). I don't know how easy it is to get the upgrade in time though.

[@emissarygw2264]

Are you accounting for the free keshiks that come with the cataphracts?

[@Thehoneybadger90]

how they tore your cataphracts with gulp?

[@Voltarez]

But by the time u get the keshiks out (if u can) they already have swarmed your berries with knights/long bows, etc. Are you meant to tower both your gold and berries?

[@billybob-fw3vr]

I find this hard to do because I get bullied lol

[@WilliamLee-bv4tv]

2 weeks later, it's still ridiculous

[@jaeden1132]

What is the age4 preferred landmark with this build?

[@Thehoneybadger90]

i think is always the siege one

[@travisC6378]

@@Thehoneybadger90 no the other one if you are staying with cats. free cats make life alot easier on the eco front. the siege one is great if you go javs for the camel buff, other wise with the siege nerf more troops is better in my opinion of course. free limitanei isn't a big deal but free cats on Vguard is with how gold heavy they are and byz has no access to infinite gold.

[@dali1384]

​ @traviscumbest3946 if an opponent is heavily into turtle style, it still can be great to have the siege landmark. also if you play vs delhi, since the french cannons rip elephants like no other siege.

[@UnknownSome]

What about feaudal agression of Delhi, how would you defend against it with this build

[@jaydenholborn8731]

easy you GG and move on to the next game lol.

[@bensavage6333]

Just getting into AoE4 i lost all my placement matches to this 😂 now it makes sense i thought it was just me not countering properly but them biz cav just dont die. Is this normal or will this be balanced?

[@dforlan9]

I think that you don't have to put the cistern near the sheep to get the gathering rate bonus - the gathering bonus is given to the building you deposit your resources so anywhere you put the cistern, as long as the bonus range touches the building, you get the bonus

[@CarKiller92]

no that's not how it works. buildings get the improved stuff from the cistern that you choose, like tech speed or military prod speed. In the "circle aura", the workers get buffed and glow.

[@dforlan9]

@@CarKiller92 Let me check it again then

[@dforlan9]

@@CarKiller92 yeah you're right, the radius of the circle aura is just much bigger than the square aura that's why I thought it worked the way I said.

[@corycosta6257]

never played byz before, just finished testing this build vs ai, time to butcher ranked now letsgo

[@JamesWood-j6p]

I wondered why i loose every game to this

[@cheppard2420]

How to counter?

[@howdy9061]

I got hit with this from a guy straight 200 elo below me and got obliterated. Indeed quite strong. Unfortunately this build is also extremely simple to execute wich makes it very frustrating to play against. And yes beasty, your influence on the game is quite obvious as i always watch out for ur guides just to know what i gonna have to expect from my opponents. But thats a good thing, it speaks for the quality of your content, that i also enjoy alot. Good guide though.

[@JamieTSW]

where can i see all those games he played on byz hmmmmm…

[@KingKloo100]

It is exactly the jigglyturd build, maybe you have better apm/are a better player in general and win more often with it. Give him the credit

[@thegittubaba]

watch the full video, he gives the credit.

[@KingKloo100]

@thegittubaba yea but the way he says it is a bit lame imo

[@maheerali531]

I win like 90% against this using eng 2tc into white tower. Because with white tower he can't attack my base easy.

[@liamh7364]

Beasty almost lost to jigly going two TC into white tower. If Beasty almost lost idk if I can survive it against a competent player

[@EvgenijM21]

You farmed jigglyturd for so much content, that even I feel bad for him being still banned. He reminds me of Dobby from Harry Potter , its time to set him free brother.

[@Thehoneybadger90]

the BEASTY build

[@aaron1534]

The jiglyphracts r 2 strong

[@stes5429]

Ps: in team games is a terrible build, you get outboomed easy

[@dali1384]

lol byz has one of the best ecos in the game, how are you supposed to get out boomed, if you keep harassing the opponent?

[@kachinn07]

Im not even surprised, just another all in massing 1 unit diving under tc/destroying opponent game without having 1-1 counter-answer, another more to the list: English all in, french all in, byz all in, zxu all in, HRE all in, or even mongol all in. Strong eco civs with empowered units and on top of that feudal landmarks working as stable/archery who saves you build time and more resources, and half of them armored units who can dve under tc with 0 risk. Im main ottoman and im skipping all in matches all of them, so enjoy your free mmr boys, you are the best!

[@misterstaple]

the reason this build is so lethal is because byz feudal is strong and threatening

[@larnak.1956]

Where "How to defend against OP Free Win Byzantine Cataphract Build" vid? :P

[@morganrademan1375]

I dont get why people hate guides, surely if you lose a game against something and you dont know why they were so far ahead surely youd want to know why? Like you can go watch a replay but you could also watch a guide and get more info about how the build works. Like for instance watching a guide on byzantine limitanei javs into castle timing will let you know that its not necessarily an all in all the time

[@selimali3675]

Byzantiness are most fun to play civ but for me it's kinda gample :D + I am not good play - casual guy mostly btw I like how you play with them... and that cavalry of bizanties are just to OP - but for real

This tac dont even work on lower ranks, even if you scout you cant build enough units to counter an idiot who builds spearmen and cav at a casual speed even if you harass xD who you playing against? boosted scrubs that cant build units.
