FAST French 2 TC Boom Build Order | Age of Empires 4 Build Order

[@ShaggyLunchCake]

Heyo Farm man, we have met on the ladder :). I have this build im using, same as yours but abit more tight I believe. I manage to get to age II and place a TC while building knights right away at 5:00 (in your build 2nd TC only starts building at 5:30). It goes like this: 7 to sheep 1 builds house asap and goes to gold another 1 to gold -- Summary: 2 on gold 7 on sheep -- 1 to Wood 1 to Sheep 1 to Wood -- Summary: 2 on gold 8 on sheep, 2 on Wood -- 2 to Stone 1 to build School of Cavalry Move 1 gold villager from gold to wood Move 2 Sheep Villagers to wood -- Summary: 1 on gold 6 on sheep, 5 on Wood, 2 on Stone, 1 SOC -- Move 1 from sheep to stone Next 1 to Stone Next 1 to Wood Next 3 help build SOC Next 1 to gold (Reach Age II by now) -- Summary: 2 on gold 5 on sheep, 6 on Wood, 4 on Stone, 4 SOC -- Place a TC and build a royal knight Move half(2) stone villagers to build 2nd TC Move half(2) stone villagers back to sheep Move all SOC(4) villagers to gold Move 4 wood villagers back to sheep -- Summary: 6 on gold 11 on sheep, 2 on Wood, 2 building 2nd TC -- Keep sending the next vils to food until 2nd TC is up! 16 on food should be enough for your production + slow income. The rest is up to you.

Hey mate! First of all, awesome name! Thanks for sharing the build dude, I'll try and give it a go :)

[@ShaggyLunchCake]

@@FarmManOfficial Thanks! Forgot to add: 4 of the wood villagers need to move back to sheep as soon as you hit Age II (should have exactly 400 wood by then). Updated it now. Without it, you can not keep constant production with 2 tcs and knights. I recommend sending the next villagers after the build to food as well, since 11 on food will not sustain you after 2nd tc is up for too long (you will have a short surplus time to use when its up) Its a tight build, takes some practice... good luck :)

[@Fleshreaperrr]

Great build order, are you still using the same one?

[@naummw6328]

Another BANGER opener from you man ! This is what I need on those closed off maps vs Chinese or Abbasid

[@FarmManOfficial]

thanks buddy!

[@halfhappy117]

Just what I was looking for, proper build orders on early game civs! Thank you!

[@FarmManOfficial]

Very welcome! If you have any build order requests let me know, I'll try my best :)

[@halfhappy117]

@@FarmManOfficial I know its not great for 1v1 scenarios except maybe on certain maps. But I usually play big games 3v3 or 4v4 and I love playing for early economy. Is 3 tc boom worth going and is there a best way to do it? I would normally get 3rd tc starting building around 8 mins.

Thanks dude! Definitely would be interested! Do you have discord? Could chat strats,

[@neo7963]

I'm new to this game and I found your video very useful! Will you also talk about the strategies and villagers allocation after feudal age?

[@FarmManOfficial]

Hi there Anakin, this actually quite a popular question I have received! So I'm planning to maybe make a video on general concepts and considerations for after feudal age! - it will be general though because as with all RTS, your decisions are always dependent on the situation of that particular game. I hope to work on something soon! :)

[@walj12748]

These are awesome!! 🔥 I’d love to see some more Rus build orders, I think that civ is pretty OP like the French

[@FarmManOfficial]

Thanks man! Appreciate ya taking the time to comment :). Any particular strats you'd like to see with the RUS? I have a knight + archer rush build order on the channel already. But will be working on a 2TC opening build order soon for the Rus :)

@@FarmManOfficial 2tc opening sounds awesome! just looking for any strats to maybe get one over on my friends lol

@@aerotheepic :D it can work quite well if opponent doesn't play too aggressive. I have a water map build order coming out soon for the English which I hope might defeat the French water players!

Ya, I do have a man at arms + rams Rush for HRE. But I will explore HRE a bit more. I feel like I've covered the French and English pretty well for now, so I think the next civilisations I will cover a bit more will be: Abbasid HRE RUS

[@lunattyyk]

@@FarmManOfficial Would be great! I would suggest a standard build/eco opener not only the rush one. Also a video about how to defend early aggression vs Mongols and other factions as a various factions would be great content.

[@FarmManOfficial]

@@lunattyyk thanks. Some good ideas, i like the idea of a strategy talk series looking at different maps and civilisation match ups!

[@bogdanbarsan5352]

Hi! I am a 40 year old noob loving the game, ... Excellent content ... I am enjoying it vey much and also learning a lot... Now, the one thing I have encountered, especially in French mirror games, is that when I get attacked early, while gathering for my second TC my defence is very poor, ... could you please have a follow up on how to defend ... Thank you!

[@FarmManOfficial]

Hi there! Great to hear from you and thanks for your message! Ahh so yes when going 2TC you'll find sometimes you'll need to defend at the beginning. The easiest ways to do it is: 1) To train some counter units against the French this will most likely the spearman. Bear in mind that this will cost quite a bit of wood (150 wood for barracks), so you'll want to make sure you have extra villagers on wood. You'll want to keep at least 2-3 spearman guarding each key resource if you know your opponent is opening with knights 2) You may also wish to build outposts around key resources 3) if you have one side of your base which can be walled off easily (i.e. a small wall which won't cost too much wood) then take advantage of that meaning you can then spread your defensive units / outposts more on the other side. I hope to make a video on this topic, just wanted to let your know my thoughts until I get to make a video though :) Hope it helps!

[@bogdanbarsan5352]

@@FarmManOfficial Thank you! Much appreciated and yes, it helps a lot ... as you can imagine Im not looking to be the next TheViper, its just fun for me but, winning its a hell of a lot more fun than just playing, especially because I know that most of my opponents are children ... and I want to make them go cry to their mommies 😄😄

[@FarmManOfficial]

@@bogdanbarsan5352 LOL haha. Yeh for sure, we'll win some and lose some, but it's nice to see strats work and have some good games :)

[@yakubh4060]

Nice videos! Just a question, why no forestry?

[@FarmManOfficial]

Great question! So I actually do get forestry in the English 2TC build order but not in the french one. The reason why is forestry seems like a really underwhelming upgrade. I'd rather spend that gold to go towards a blacksmith upgrade / help constant production of knights / double broadaxe first. Will eventually get forestry though On the English build however you generally need less gold (as not producing gold units) and forestry can be squeezed in the build fairly efficiently.

[@Jiggidy120]

Can you do a video on hot keys? what what you do to build faster rather than clicking everything? Or do you just get used to the default hotkeys

[@Jiggidy120]

i guess this would include do you hotkey your buildings to build units faster also

[@carpenoctem4705]

Hi I am new to AoE. Why do you build a second TC ? What benefits do u get from it ? I really need an explanation to TC Boom. Like I said I am a noob and don't know anything about the game. I really don't know what TC Boom means and what benefits u gain from that. Thank you in advance for your answer buddy

[@cliffordsiu9808]

It allows user to produce more villagers to get more resources. Goal: Use the extra resources to create more armies and push the opponent.

[@FarmManOfficial]

Sorry for the very late response! But essentially what Clifford has said! More workers means more resources to spend on army and upgrades!

[@yangyang8795]

amazing video. Thank you

[@FarmManOfficial]

You welcome! thanks for commenting, glad you liked it :)

[@riveradrew2153]

Can this be done with two scout start?

[@FarmManOfficial]

Should be able to, I suspect might just need to add one extra villager on food to get up to feudal age at a similar time

[@Riku9361]

Does it change much if i get 6 on sheep first and let the 7th villager do the house + gold?

[@FarmManOfficial]

Hi there! It probably would affect things quite a lot tbh. Because if you see at 2:30 there is only surplus of 11 food and zero gold, so going later to gold will delay your feudal age uptime and delay your second town centre placement (and it's already quite risky going straight 2nd town centre without army in 1v1s tbh)

[@Riku9361]

@@FarmManOfficial alright thanks appreciate the answer really helps!

[@dePascha]

A well explained Video, tx for that=) Do you have also a Pdf for this build order? thank you

[@Daniel-xv3nw]

when you get forestry usualy?

[@FarmManOfficial]

Hey there! for the french 2 TC boom I prioritise wheelbarrow, double broadaxe, blacksmith upgrades and forestry last (because it seems like a very underwhelming upgrade compared to the rest - although it is cheaper)

[@oleski180]

Hi, is this build still vailable or outdated?

[@FarmManOfficial]

Its still definitely viable, however I would recommend this build order atm:, kzbin.info/www/bejne/iYCXqIqjptmrmKM with feudal aggression to start, but move the villagers who finish building the school of cavalry to go to stone and new villagers to wood to eventually build a second TC. the second TC is a bit delayed compared to this older build order video but that more the type of play that happens with the french atm. Hope that helps!

Nice! Haha sounds like a great game :D

[@voidsentoni5977]

@@FarmManOfficial hey I encounter this mongol player who just produce spearmen early on, and started placing outpost all around my territory, including outside goldmines. He focused on woods and food early on, and leave gold for until he placed enough outposts with spearmen in it. His strat absolutely rekt me, as he prey on key resources the whole map. So I did a rush with 6 knights and 9 archers + 3 rams but he managed to get away with packing up. The result is my resources fall, and he amassed armies on me.
