How to Play Japanese Fast Aggression in Season 6 AOE4

[@xReifox]

I made a written version of this BO for myself, might aswell share it if it helps someone: 00:00 5 on food 1 build a farmhouse on berries and goes on berries Upgrade wheelbarrow 1 Rally to food until 7 0:40 Rally to gold until 4 + blacksmith on gold Food villagers goes on berries when upgrade is done 2:00 Rally to food (sheeps) 2:30 Age up with 3 workers from berries, be careful placement of landmark Move gold workers to stone Rally to wood (small trees) until 8 then rally to food Move sheep workers to wood 3:10 Blacksmith on stone 4:35 Age up finished -> 2 workers goes on berries, 1 worker on farm Small walls if needed Make a barracks with 1 wood guy Upgrade TC Move stone workers on gold + 1 from food 5:00 Make a tower (and upgrade) on gold if needed Start making Onna-bugeisha Spam barracks when you can up to 5 5:50 Harass with Onnas if you can Upgrade wheelbarrow 2 6:30 Wood upgrade + melee damage upgrade Produce 1 melee bannerman 7:30 Berries are gone, go back on sheep 2 from berries goes on gold Upgrade gold mine + melee damage 2 8:30 Produce samurais Wall up completely + make more farms with extra wood Attack I didn't put everything (like the placement of landmark or which landmark to take), I suspect you watched the video!

God bless you!

[@TyrantZaar]

Honestly thank you so much. I'm like please please please someone have it written out lol

[@DomOMediaProductions]

When rally to wood beaty moved sheep vills to wood i think?

[@xReifox]

@@DomOMediaProductions Yes, wrote it down in last at 2:30

[@harakari9100]

thanks dude! appreciate your effort

[@NickWustrack]

One thing to add on house placement. If you can leave 4 spots around tc open for farms, you can build houses around that so you still have a short walk for drop off

[@valence686]

I really like that japanese allows easily for infantry compositions of more than just 2 units that synergize well off each other.

[@jeffreygionet5827]

Glad you added the example game. I was curious how this would look.

[@Gr8Stalin]

thank you brudder, i will be the best gold-rank japanese pepega with your guide

[@RealShaun]

gold rank you aimin high man! straight to the moon

[@dominiccasey5740]

Yea beastly, I’ve waiting for this!

[@snoober6690]

12:03 - yes if you use "cancel" hotkey you cancel the last unit which can be your free vill

[@wilsun3638]

I have been waiting for this all day, thank you!

[@FriendlyFireYT]

Build orders are great, but I need that FFA season 2 with all the new civs.

[@MoronicShiznit]

This guide is amazing! Thanks Beasty

[@MrMaxtrex]

love your guides

now that is really cool, thank you

was waiting for this! thanks Beasty

[@SebastianBruckmüller]

Very Great Guide, thanks for showing real Games, this helped me a lot 😊

[@Rhein360]

Love it!!! Thanks :D . . . Tried Drongo's and Valdemar's builds but this seems to be more effective :D

[@alejandrogutierrez6923]

Thanks Beasty - love the work you do🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽

[@snoober6690]

fun fact: the storehouse farms will destroy straggler trees to make a farm (but not forest trees)

Hey @Just Ken, I don't know if you are gonna see this comment, but I think that as you were answering my question I was deleting my post lol (got I bit embarassed). Just posting here to thank you for your time and answer (I could still read it)! Thanks :)

[@bigmaz3783]

thanks beasty much appreciated

[@rajiikha]

Great player and great content creator ! thx

[@devangnivatkar2649]

Love to see Hammer (Onna) & Anvil (Samurai) comps

[@tekkonayDE]

ive been having loaaads of success with the japanese so far, staying on 1 tc, harassing with onna bugeisha and adding in samurai. I managed to end almost every single game in feudal with just mass melee infantry, it works perfectly fine! denying food is very simple with onna bugeisha's speed and low cost. Im playing a different build order tho, with way earlier harass but i assume a tiiiny bit weaker eco since the daimyo comes up later. but my onnas are on their way at like 5:10 with +2 melee

[@GrabbaBeer]

Almost every single game in feudal? Whats the point of playing if you’re never even trying to reach the other half of the games features?

[@johnnypenso9574]

The point of 1V1 is to win.

[@darkspy1277]

2 good points in comments. Late game is required for all round skill. However playing the game to finish it early is always the best way to do it but if you come against a good player your bound to be in a late game. I've played as english who have the best archers for feudal rush can generate every 6 seconds with council hall

[@nicolasconradt2626]

I tried this Build against a friend and he went zhu xi fast Castle @ min 7, i didnt manage to do much dmg cause he builded towers @ vulnerable points. Then he pushed with Palace guards/ crossbows / Nest of bees and i couldnt stop it. Any tips for this Kind of matchup?

[@Generaika]

best opening for Japanese so far

[@RustyStopSign]

this man is COOKING. used in ladder to great success

[@peterfrost7704]

Bug? At 7:20 in the video, vills have stone on them and make a mine. They deposit the 52 stone in the mine when the mine finishes, but no bonus gold is awarded. Shouldn't you get 13 gold from that drop-off? You don't.

[@ThatsWhatSheZedX]

Bruh as I typed I need this it drops lol lets go the goat

[@hounddogzepp]

Beasty well done, this build has successfully ruined my ranked experience lol

[@petrtousek3265]

Arigatō!

[@akbutte5442]

youre a good man

[@vitubaratto]

What you do against mongols archery cavalary? They simply run away e the ona's don't have the same speed of the horsed archers

[@GrabbaBeer]

Those mangudai are just still broken. They honestly need to be nerfed again. Archers are your best bet against them but even then they still run away.

[@AuziFox]

Thanks for the build. How do you deal with civs that wall early, preventing Onna’s from hitting eco? Also if anyone’s run into Zhu Xi’s Zhu ge nu/ palace guard spam. Just add horsemen with 3 to 1 ratio of samurai/ Onna

[@amadeusbender3417]

What about their Bowman? As I no pro player , I can Imagen that they should quite cost efficient with costing only 60 resouces

[@johnnypenso9574]

Cost cost-efficient but do less damage than longbows or archers. Their advantage is movement speed. They can outrun any other archers or infantry so they are good for quick harassment and if they have a big enough headstart can outrun horses all the way back to your base.

[@szyszszysz2062]

im proud of my self as 60% of things crucial to that build order ive mastered during 1 day main civ this

[@jinsu0504]

have you noticed the town hall and the age 2 farm unit, does NOT upgrade in appearance as the age progresses? all other civs their main town hall also changes

[@camroth89]

The TC doesn't because you have to upgrade it to a manor and so on, and the upgrade changes it's appearance.

[@jinsu0504]

@@camroth89 i just figured it out yesterday with the bannermen...btw Japanese vs Ottoman...which civ is better?

[@MooseyMax]

Thought I’d tuned into classic pewdiepie with that accent + double clap

[@apster07]

this was a super confusing build order to follow for some reason, half the time i cant tell when your rallying villagers to where.

[@nguyentho6768]

btw in case you wonder why the low damage and armor, the 'onna' units are actually females and the onna-biugeisha literally translated into female fighters.

[@posdaniel1501]

We need a shinobi build xD

[@sofianosss]

6:30 I have to start with the "I am only diamond" but I think rushing the Daimyo (300 stone) that early is useless. By that time farms aren't needed yet for food and the enemy will probably not dive the TC yet. I think favoring more units or castle is better until at least 5 farms spawn or berries and sheep get denied/expire.

[@charlesh3362]

i keep the 4 workers on gold unil they've mined enough gold for wheelbarrow and double braud axe, then switch to stone

[@juancarlos4006]

The daimyo is not only for the farms bonus, but for the bannermen. With the two forge upgrades + samurai bannermen your onna's got +4 melee damage IN FEUDAL, which is insane.

[@johnnypenso9574]

It's basically about 4 onas worth of resources. If you boost 8 farms by 25% that's 80 resources/minute and a much stronger TC if you are getting raided. It pays for itself outright in 4 minutes and you also get the Bannerman which is a stronger unit and boosts your other units by 15%. The part most people miss is, without that upgrade you'll have less food production to make onas anyway. That extra 80 food/minute is one ona/minute as well.

[@FrostRare]

Hi, does this still apply after 7 months?

[@Morrneyo]

So onna bugeishas are like reapers from SC2, but still useful after early game

[@robf88]

Yes so what are you doing against English LB rush that seems very difficult for japan

[@Barca10alex]

what if you play against zhu xi legacy and they come with 20 units in 9, minute

[@Norsemano1921]

It is probably the toughest match-up for Japan, you simply need to forgo this build and opt for Yumi Ashigaru+Horsemen and outproduce Zhuge Nu at some point

[@Norsemano1921]

Also continue to raid with your horsemen, mass Zhuge Nu also means their army is much slower, so if you keep raiding with your horsemen you will put them in a very uncomfortable position where they can't just sit in front of your base and mass units

i want japanese campaign but instead of just got some dumb shit in the desert.

[@zehaochen7847]

onnabugeishas feel like japanese landsknechts

[@wt891]

Japan kinda seems like hre with better feudal

[@thenamelessguy7357]

this build order seems really flawed against english. all you gotta do is white tower rush the japanese and they have no answer. at 7:30 in beastys game, he barely has enough units to even oppose the construction of the tower. and english vills can shoot japanese infantry anyways

[@GrabbaBeer]

You’re wrong fortunately. I’ve stopped a few white tower rushes pumping out samurai. Spamming rams too even after that tower goes up and i win everytime

[@anonomousekent643]

Onnas are landshits bought on wish

[@ruanL4162]

Wow, Think you broke the game. 5 wins in a row now. Was tower rushed, won that one. Was ship rushed, won that one. I don't see a counter for this. Specially in lower leagues. Maybe HRE with Men-at-arms but oponent needs to know what you gonna do. Well done.

[@Xheasor]

Beasty I want 1vs1 with u, I'll promise to not go too hard on u so u can survive atleast until imperial

[@taimakesnoise]

Just did my first ranked matched after seeing this video and I won 8 games in a row with this build, WTF

Another guide that will make some people spamming units and win without merit

[@Spanishflea.]

Just scout it out.

[@Goldsnip]

@@Spanishflea. i did not know japanese scout has sabotage

[@Spanishflea.]

@@Goldsnip ???

[@Goldsnip]

@@Spanishflea. you tell me that I should scout to prevent people to spam units and win without merit.

[@ericimagines]

Some Shinobi ideas: Do any of you think Shinobi could be stronger with like a kunai or shuriken attack? I would honestly like to see them be more like assassin units than the weak espionage feel they have currently. Shinobi are the weakest concept with Japanese so far, not executed very well imho. Blinking in on top of vils is ok, but it's not as efficient as using Onna Bugeisha to harass. Anyhoo, just some thots!

[@MatthewDoughten]

God here he goes ruining the game again with his guides.

[@iitzwaffles]

Sarcasm? Because these guides are incredibly helpful.

​@@iitzwaffleshe's mad because guides makes new players more competitive. But if you're good, it makes no difference. Guides only help till early feudal, after that the battles are too varied.
