🔥 Pre-order AoE4: The Sultans Ascend here ➤ store.steampowered.com/app/1959430/Age_of_Empires_IV__The_Sultans_Ascend/ 🔥

[@hl321662]

I think Moo's biggest mistake is retreating several times when he should have commit. While he doesn't have god vision like me watching the video, retreating against longbows always gives the opponent tons of free hits and could hand the advantage to the opponent over time.

[@Awesomeman1987]

Moo not doing a tc rush is refreshing to see

[@steelcommander9918]

He hasn’t figured out a build for Delhi tc rush yet

[@ruanramires3300]

Drongo is absolutely right when he says that the gameplay level between high conqueror and low conqueror is a thing. So many mistakes in this game, it almost feels like a diamond game from my queue! 😂 Amazing casting as ever, keep it coming. Big fan from Brazil ❤

[@aminahamdkhaniha6738]

Mr drongo just here to say your awesome if i don't watch one of these games a day i feel like my day Is missing a part

[@StartCodonUST]

Insane amount of wood spent on ranged units. I think spawn ultimately decided this game.

[@hobolecho8507]

OMG the guides are gonna be so helpful. Im looking to get back to the game after almost 2 years and these would help a lot

[@jordanmatthews2921]

Great content mate, from Perth WA always loved AOE

[@azeriafire2969]

In terms of ideas, maybe an ffa with the 2 new civs and the 4 new civ variants, or 4v4 variants vs normal civs, could be interesting.

[@luisan776]

Poor Moo, all of the wood was forwards

[@Bapple34]

I would love to see community games like T90 does. I know its more work than a casted game but it would be so fun! Good for the community aswell i think

[@zaidsider6509]

Thank u for the consistent content Am a big fan from jorden❤

[@nullius9807]

Best case scenario : Sultans Ascend slingshots the franchise into the full mainstream.

[@helvis7336]

welcome to Agincourt lol

[@JonathanFlexx]

It was Quad damage in Quake. But in quake 3 it was only x3damage, I guess quad damage sounded cooler :p

[@armanghanaat8808]

Looking forward to your future content, would especially love to see some more first person content from you!

[@asherahmed8165]

I remember Quake 3 Arena with the announcer saying "Double Damage" like that

[@alexanderr3055]

first person perspective would be so fun, and i would learn a great lot ! Love the vids

[@KnoopiE1988]

The thing i loved about the battering rams is he did not wanted to damage the buildings he was just using them as a distraction and moo felt for it why would u care if they took out a tower :P as Delhi let it go to the back line and then let yuour villagers take care of it :P i love thise feudal age fights, these days its all 123123 APM imp rush plain and simple as AOE was meant to be hahaha. both of them did rlly well Moo shouldnt had taken the fight under the tower should had saved up about 20 raiders and then go around. he was winnign a long time vs the longbows. tbf moo was doing really well but the longer feudal stays for english the better

[@metasamsara]

I would like unlimited campfires too. And generally more unique scouting abilities. I would love for a civ to be able to walk through forest as if it was stealth forest at the cost of losing all vision around you. And there could be a civ with siege engine and infantry that can swim lol that would be fun early rush on archipelago

[@tts27a]

hey guys. stupid question about the camp fires. if you have 6 fires. so you make 1 to 5 and then the 6th the first goes out, right? but if i destroy the 6th does the 1st goes on again ?

[@alazharalhadrami7177]

I would love to see, "hey look, it's the byzantine!" Shows a match of you playing against them with any civ on rank ladder

[@integralinsanity1641]

3:30 OHHH GUIDES i thought I heard guys and I was like HUH he's one of those type of youtubers? mkay?

[@petersbass5209]

I love your videos, except the cinematic switch

[@samblack5313]

Anyone else miss “Chad era” Drongo…. Everything was “Chad”.. armour “Chad”, “Baochads”, any unit who did anything good for a Chad reference, all good players were chads, all good strategies were Chad-like. Bring back the Chad (like bring back the biff)

[@RexorInvicta]

Mate, what are you talking about? We are still in the golden era of chadness.

[@samblack5313]

@@RexorInvicta I wish it were so, I don't feel like I've heard a good Chadcast in a long time!

[@rodolfodiass1456]

There must be something like "only archer game" . Anxious match

[@sharkymb8552]

quality looks great, recorded in 4k?

7:20 Moo might have made a scout from tc

[@brynshanahan7292]

My dad also got me into RTS with dark reign 👌

[@MrAtaguas]

This just makes me want to do a pure guilded archer rush with the Order of Dragon

[@Thromash]

Nah make we played WC3 & UT at school after class or during computer lab lol

[@HamesAlwaysWins]

gotta love RNG spawns super good for competitive play

[@RealShaun]

I get your point, for competitiveness this is bad. But me, personally, for entertainment, it makes every match so much more fun and unique.

[@HamesAlwaysWins]

@@RealShaun Of course and to play its more fun aswell, but knowing this game couldve went longer and been played differently if this dude didn't have 3 forward wood lines is just unfortunate

[@lukeoconnor8866]

How about a vid after the new update drops ranking the civs (in your opinion)

[@No0bZai96]

Moo is playing quite weird.. having such big advantage at early, he can rush castle, and by the time he have mangonels, english will be just finishing replenish the armies, and he is gonna rekt english with that.... Or just build rams when he have like 60 archers while english have 30... but he keep make archer instead.

[@Maradiaga23]

An FFA series with new civs / new civ variations only

[@irou95]

Every gold-plat player knows that english doesn't need anything else but longbows and once they get a mass you can't counter them with horses anymore so you just make archers as well and try to beat them with that attack speed buff from TOV and better micro

[@t3ss33]

That is not true though. If English has 40 LBs (32 are needed to kill a horsemen with one volley - 125 hp and 2 range armor vs 6 ranged attack and upgrades cancel out), then you can have 30 horsemen resource wise. 30 horsemen easily deal with 40 longbows (if you attack correctly - surrounding and a move instead of right-click) and any eligible multiple of it. The problem is that with a couple of spears horsemen can't jump longbows anymore. Additionally, you have the following dynamic: English starts with longbows which are easily countered by a couple of horsemen which is why English anticipates this danger with spears. Spears are then countered by archers. However since archers hard counter spears and can deal with longbows sufficiently well, you might be tempted to go full archers. This however is answered by full longbows and suddenly you are at a numerous disadvantage with your horsemen which you cannot easily fix since horsemen need 22.5 sec to produce. People often engage with much less resources invested into horsemen and think the don't counter longbows. Or they run into a choke point where most of the horsemen don't attack wondering why they lose.

[@khorneschosen7561]

For ENGLAND Drongo!!!

[@HannaSQubti]

I would’ve loved to see the military stats on this one.

[@cozy_abomination4639]

266 archers for Moo vs 333 for kaup

[@ryderrr08]

Horsemen designed to counter range unit. But at the end, MMAs doing it far better because they’re not destroyed by pikes.

[@Ciech_mate]

I wish I could have scenario editor

[@mattcole5169]

Baby Drongo outro.

[@justinhess2747]

I feel like the choice of Tower of Victory created the archer war. Raiders should have been present in larger numbers. Fantastic cast, good sir. Thank you

[@andrewgrant2948]

Dreamy game, loved it!

[@exxon101]

Surely the play was to build more raiders? It's not like archers have a GREAT matchup into longbowmen, so why spam 400 of them? Make the actual counter unit, no?

[@Artem-yk7ig]

Was it a custom map like pudge wars?

[@metasamsara]

Can you make a video about order of the dragon vs english on various maps that have stealth and height variations? I'm really curious about their archers vs longbowmen and quality vs quantity.

[@zbartan]

Aussie hear us, we want Low Elo Legends for AoE4!!

[@rafaelrodacki190]

Hello drongo i love your videos!!!

[@grdks981]

Conquer 3 ok, but no wall.. Not a single spearmen in the back base to kill the raiders... Not towers... Not age 3 attempt... Men...cmon lost 9 vills in 30 seconds

[@cardgame98]

Jesus why didn't he make more cavalry? pure archer and no cav makes sad play

[@RealShaun]

Did you hear what drongo said? Mass archer kills Cavalry wit one volley.

[@kulio1214]

Go castle and make knights@@RealShaun

[@utomoprasojo1864]

it must be surounded it @@RealShaun

[@ryderrr08]

because horsemen don’t scale well for their cost, not a enough range armor and no burst/charge. + the fact that pikes are design to deal with early knight so horsemen can be easily destroyed by few pikes in the back.

[@HandicappedMind]

Thats how u throw a game.... Moo and the english.... english makes tower 20 min earlier he isnt down half the army pop... moo attacks when up double the pop instead of running he wins lol

[@JuHim92]

content idea: break the NDA

[@aleftwinggamer3950]

What a terrible wood spawn for moo.

[@caspergear]

Barrrrrrrrrr

[@danielbevan9024]

[@exxon101]

The reason Moo was down 2 villagers was that he had to remake his Scout.

[@SithijaWijesinghe]

Drongo mate I don't think it's pronounced Kaup. it's actually pronounced Kaup

[@samblack5313]

no no no... "Kaup"

haha "Chip, I'm all jacked up on Mountain Dew"

[@lucaxtshotting2378]

man, longbows need a -1 range nerf.

[@samblack5313]

They're not called Mediumbows, my dude 😃

[@lucaxtshotting2378]

​@@samblack5313 they could be called satellites they would still need a -1 range nerf guy

[@rollthetape88]

no

[@TheRhowe2]

Why? Moo could have won that games several times by making better decisions. He's way better than me obviously, just saying.

[@lucaxtshotting2378]

​@@TheRhowe2 English won regardless of the campfire troll shit and no map play. I mean he sent three MAA to berries at some point but apart from that he might as well have been playing water. It's a civ that forces you to play their game, of which they have more experience, not that they need it because if both players a move eachother the english one will have a lead, proportional to the size of the armies. And if he is indeed microing, if both are microing, you can double that amount on kited shots. The one-dimention is also uninteresting. Just a change you would want to see, regardless of who won or who could've won.
