AoE4 Build Order Breakdown - Vortix's Mongol Opening

[@Suhaschintala]

this is the kinda content i am looking for . a game analysis of how pros use a civ/game mechanic to make a game winning strategy. not necessarily the build order but the key strategy guiding through the gameplay. Would like a similar gameplay analysis of how to deal with english longbow +spear feudal spam into siege engineering ram push as a mongol player :)

[@dazza8676]

need this

[@dylanpruitt5868]

Great video. Only suggestion is to adjust mic settings. Frequently when you move closer or farther from the mic the volume of your voice changes drastically

[@FitzBro]

I was moving around a little too much in this video and should have boosted the volume a little bit in post. Thanks for the feedback!

[@007michwolf]

@@FitzBro Yeah I think its how you have it positioned, when you face away it goes very quiet

[@FiddyWoow]

I was about to say the same thing with the following mention: my volume on phone is at maximum and i barely hear you. Nice video! Keep it going!

[@jaredclark8705]

Came here to say the same, but the video is still great content and has helped me a lot. I just had to opt for a good pair of headphones to get through the entire video

[@jacknixon4732]

Amazing video. Exactly what I wanted to see, didn't even realise it til I watched it. I'd heard of you after watching aussie drongo so knew I was gonna get a good analysis. Good job!

[@reggienoble21]

nice analysis- love the format

[@Ryangubbs]

Your videos are really informative. Great work fitzbro. Especially casting mongol content. Really facinating faction.

[@adn17]

Loved this video. Thanks Fitzbro!

[@monkeyd.luffy-taro3661]

Amazing analysis! Please give us more Mongols content, fav civ for me!

[@redfondant4726]

This was a good showing of another build order. Showed how to capitalize on a good resource spawn as the Mongols. Would be good to see what to do on a really bad spawn as well. At the moment bad spawns are very common. As an example, a few days ago as Mongols had no gold vein on my side of the map vs HRE. As Mongols you could still win a game like this if you put enough early pressure so you can get gold for age up. After that depending on civ you are up against, you could go all in on age 2, build forward tc for defense at gold, or go trade to get gold, all the while keeping pressure on your opponent. Once you've got the gold you are golden. The question is how you get to that point. I was able to win this match up due to outplaying my opponent, but if I was up against an equal level opponent in a higher level or play I can imagine this would have been a much greater undertaking. Woul be interesting to hear from a high level aoe4 player what you could do to stay in the game.

[@dark_khan2232]

Grabbing this game next week. Can’t wait. Seems like they kinda play as the Sioux from 3 from the little I have seen so far

[@saberpendragon271]

Definitely something really helpful

[@JustAGuyWithNoName]

This kind of videos are the best.

[@niklas5948]

Really useful!

[@RageHazzardous]

Thanks for sharing this. Tried it out in game and it's pretty crazy. Even a single ram is great for absorbing shots from TC and any idle archers the enemy might have. I played against an English and got quite a few of his archers while they auto targeted the closest unit which was seige ram. Then I made 8 rams to knock down walls to go in with lancers to end the game since he invested too heavily to hard on archers.

[@notjefflee]

Please more breakdown/build orders of Mongol!

[@Blottingpaper]

Hey fitz, your voice drops abit during the video when you're moving your head away from the mic, listening on mobile and it's hard to hear at times (no head phones). Do you think it's a good idea to have two scouts on the map, one that can hang around enemy base to see what they're doing?

[@jonathanfugit4607]

Do you have any suggestions to beat Mongols with HRE? Is it just turtle play? What do you open with?

[@SandiegoDFS]

nice video thank you - any idea why he moved the deer stones up hair in mid game?

[@ByyTropiC]

so his villl moves quickly

[@nickedmundson]

Okay, very serious question lol. How are you panning around without using the edge of the screen? Are you using the arrow keys and taking your hand off the mouse? Or are you holding alt and using WASD? Every time I try the alt WASD way, I move the mouse too much and end up rotating my camera :(. Please send help heeh

[@FitzBro]

If you see me smooth panning without touching the edge, I am either holding down middle mouse button and dragging or using arrow keys.

[@TheMrHego]

Another cool Mongol opening I found is played by Nyanracingcat. Basically mass-scout forward outpost rush. Really creative and puts a ton of pressure on the opponent during dark age.

[@bonallucas2061]

Where can we see that game ? Seems interesting

[@Melandruu]

fitz! loving your videos just getting into AoE4 after many many years of not playing! Just a quick question about the replay mode, can you select a time in the video i want to rewatch a fight in a game i had but can only seem to fast forward it and if i want to rewatch it got to go back to the begining

[@FitzBro]

You are not able to unfortunately

[@guillermorobustelli2652]

Ahhh... the pains of playing a slow-paced turtle civilization against the mother of all fast-paced early rush civilization....

[@GrooveSpaceArk]

Are you 100% sure the Khan's speed boost applied to the town centre at the start of the video? It didn't look like it did? No indication like there is with units when they are under it.

[@jaketycyn4905]

Try it yourself in an ai game. You'll notice it does speed it up

[@Tom3K_grabarzzzz]

Fitz i think that if you would start sending horseman Vortex would start making Mangadais to counter them kinda sąd that man at arms are avilable at 3 age cause its hard to counter this in second age

[@castor4077]

I do wonder why mongol players dont build the tc next to the ovoo if there is stone and wood next to each other. You can def get 2x vills in three times in darkage, giving you a solid 2-3 vill advantage already.

[@FitzBro]

It is generally better to use the stone for x2 military production or upgrades.

[@castor4077]

@@FitzBro or trade carts I guess? So you did the math? Hm than thats a habit I need to get rid off

[@JBG-dj5iz]

Please! Graphical build order for this!!! Your idea of graphical BO is great! It's a way better to visualize timings, and way better to print or side screen it!

[@590dami]

hey man, the audio lvl on your voice keep fluctuating an it's somewhat distracting, i wish i could give you a solution but idk a single thing about audio mixing/recording. i might hop on the discord just to annoy you about it cause i saw another of your vids (delhi basics) and the quality drop is quite big, which is shame as the vid is good. either way thx for the video, very useful for myself, cheers

[@FitzBro]

I'm aware of some audio issues on this one. They will be fixed for the next. Thanks for the feedback!

[@dingo9356]

He only had 2 workers on the deer stones ... I thought you needed 3 to get the double build up speed ? Mistake on his part or naw?

[@HaloiniDB]

That's what i thought lol

[@Bonzi94]

great video but the mic is positioning is really bad, also would have loved to see what blacksmith upgrades he got

[@evescent7312]

Mongols lez gooo!!

[@corynorell3686]

Good video except not being able to hear you whenever you turn your head a few degrees away from the mic.

[@SummitSmile]

that microphone, jeez

[@Slangnegativ]

I'm sorry, but I had to pause the video at 2:38 to write this comment: Please, talk into your microphone.

[@bennycostello2472]

Why would you call a lost game a meta build lol

[@professor_kaosdrama3993]

that is a super slow build so easy to kill early

[@Bluggato]

Great vid, but the sound is bruuuuutal

[@chadgutierrez9982]

"I don't think I made a mistake here going with archers" said as he loses because he went all in on archers? You forced archers. You showed quite a few spearman which means he has to go mangadai, but didn't consider that he knows you know that. This guy has a bit of a galaxy brain.

[@kristiannevoral7376]

worst mongol play ever

[@moonstars8982]

Geez you have a good mic... maybe speak into it 🙄
