Does anyone not Fast Castle these days? - Road to Conqueror AoE4 - Byzantine vs OOTD

Back on Lipany for another match against OOTD where I decide to actually scout what they are doing and react to it... I know, crazy right?
Are you also trying to improve your game and git gud? Find some mates to jump into team games with? Or just have a chat about how often we all see English on the ladder? Then you need to join the Griot Bara. Come and say hi and get stuck in.

And if you love AoE4 content, you need to listen to the Extra Sheep Podcast with Socerton, Beale, Sir Nevels and Askallad. Hours of entertainment to keep you sane when you can’t jump on the ladder yourself.

Loving the calm playstyle lol, it's very hard to comment while you play specially in later stages of the game where there are more things going on. GG!

I'm glad you like it. Trying my best to not get so sweaty about it and take it easy. I just tell myself that when I accidentally pull villagers with my army it's not a mistake, it's an opportunity for a forward tower 😂

@@Amerath90 hahaha that’s a good one

I honestly would've preferred you massed arbelists instead of sipahis and spammed limmatenei or v guard instead of xbows and maybe some horseman to raid but it ended up working just fine for you. The idea to add a camel for debuff to his knights from the other market also great.. i love the minmaxing with your city planning i just think it takes you too much time.. rushing so many berries is good for oil but also leaves you very exposed to raids and the gather rate is really slow. I believe Byzantine should use mercs as extra and not rely on them for the core of your army. Vguards and limas are really good carries for unique units of the field. Try to to think how to mass faster for more tempo but overall good gameplay, relics sacred sites walls raids you did it all

Thanks for the tips. I agree about the arbs, I always forget about them even though they are great. I don't always go horseman because my micro isn't very good and I often lose them really easily. Even though Byz has the ability to mass up quickly, I always feel slow so definitely something I am going to try and improve. Only way to hit Conq next season ;)

That's a graphic I create using the stats from Aoe4world 👍🏻
