I feel like Byzantium not being purple is a crime.

[@sanjidasiddiqi1914]

Yeah

[@aymanelkadouri8235]

I feel you man

Yep, I always choose purple as my color

[@Palozon]

Aussie Drongo's comment section slowly but surely gaslighting itself into believing that Drongo mispronouncing words is just the Australian dialect

[@solidusSnake73]

Limitanei (limi-tah-neigh) were troops on the borders, the "limits". It was more of a army command term since you could have limitanei cavalry or missile troops or whatever. They are also went out of use for most of this game's time period. They could have called those spearmen "skoutatoi" or "shieldcarrier" which would have made more sense.

[@blaiddwolf4315]

These videos with new civs have been really awesome. Great seeing the new types of strategies these civs can offer.

[@thugnastyx1]

With all these aditions, new variants etc. Where does vanilla factions stand? Like the Rus, English etc. ? Drongo could you maybe make a video about pros/cons on vanilla civs vs their variant counterparts?

[@WrathOfPhropet]

I wouldn't be surprised if the new stuff was overtuned (to incentivize people playing with it) and then nerfed to be in line with others. That's how most MOBAs do things I think.

[@shantimohr6676]

As a Filipino found that karaoke Incomplete thing so hilarious i had to LOL xD really Like this Vids of yours 🎉

[@OdinMayCall]

Across all Aoe4 channels right now, I have never seen the words absurd and insane used so much

[@lucbakker8963]

True, It's insanely absurd!

[@SwollFullReady2Roll]

Listening to your excitement during the micro made my day

[@Player100500]

The Byzantines are the most unpredictable, even for the Byzantines

[@Zenanii]

Random bullshit go!

[@Wrathofloki1]

That destroyed value was so out of balance, 110k for Vald and 64 for Beasty. The olive oil units don't count towards it, it seems. Bu the efficiency of the Byzantines is crazy good.

[@fearmaker1000]

this is quality content

[@throwmeaname]

This was a super stressful game lol. Great work!

[@eristaviserbia]

A Byzantine late game focused on mercenaries is very strong because it allows a Byzantine player to leverage the mercenary system to hire what are otherwise gold-intensive units to overwhelm an opponent without having to rely on gold income. The versatility of the mercenary contracts and the artillery available from the Foreign Engineering Company will make for a potent force with which to attain victory without paying a single penny.

[@The_Rainwatcher]

That if you can reach the late game

[@jadwaymekenye]

Really enjoying these new civs

[@christophermccarthy9318]

These new civs look a lot more op than the standard.

[@firingallcylinders2949]

I'll be shocked if the cistern Aqueduct system stays the way it is. I played it last night and had a whole network and it goes crazy for production

[@mikelowery6227]

Because they are. Even noobs in bronze league were kicking ass

[@peterandrew9152]

Valdemar's infrastructure was insane. He's out there playing Cities Skylines 😂

[@austinprevette474]

I feel like 2 days ago he said he was a Japanese main. Like when he said he's a ottoman main when they first came out and within a couple days was an English main. Homie hopper lol

[@Jaesonian]

Drongo: Ayyubids, ayyu-bids, ayyub,-ids Meanwhile closed caption: Aids, Aids, Aids 😂

[@ReinhardvonHolst]

What a game!

[@CrazyMiso]

I was just listening to this as a podcast and i hear drongo say "Great wHinary". I was like what? There is no way Valdemar or Beasty is whining in a chat or something :D

[@JVTVable]

yellow base is so nice 🔥🔥🔥

[@mstrolling2151]

More French variant casts please 🙏🏼

[@ShogunLazo]

this looks stronger than it kinda is ... if beasty when for a more infantry heavy army the spears would not have been able to hold, but because its the ayyubids and alot of camels and cavalry, he kinda got away with it xD

[@johnnypenso9574]

I've watched 3 or 4 casted games with the new civs and I'm confused about Beasty's strategy. He seems to be shooting for 150-160 vills in most games and seems to just leave the siege equipment unprotected quite often.

[@JamesCh.]

Very one dimensional player who capitalizes on his micro harass and I bet you we'll see him exposed as the game mechanics get more complicated and civs get way more ways to play with no certain meta. As was the case with aoe2, he was never even decent at that game. I always thought he's overrated in a new game that doesn't have much variety to its strategic part (yet).

[@emissarygw2264]

@@JamesCh. lol, see him exposed 🤣haters gonna hate I guess

[@Schnitzel2368]

Good cast. But till now, i want every map "asteroid sounds"! :))) ... And valdemar becomes from month to month better. I bet, the day on that he will become place one, will come.

[@sari-eljarrah]

How do you enter cinematic mode Aussie ???

[@danieln6700]

Aqueduct reminds me of Caesar 3

[@Manwu5]

The combinations of a late game Byzantine army combining Varangians , Cataphracts and elephants is at least scary. There is nothing in the game that can win it.

[@Abraktil]

i have a strange feeling i have already seen this game on another channel

[@ChrisNihilus]

A good rule of thumb is to always pronounce these ancient word simply as written, with a latin accent structure (basically putting the accent where it would make the word flatter). LIMI like in limit, TA like in tarots, NEI like in Neighbour. The accent is on the A.

[@JVTVable]

WAIT they added in fire mags ??

[@SimonMester]

God I love Custard games

[@sickjuicysjamshack3580]

Ayyubids doesn't feel as much as a variant as it does an upgrade to the Abbasid civ

[@sarangtamirisa5090]

43:44 Olive links?

[@Trubripes]

good game didn't get called, Beasty got eliminated.

[@georgebethanis3188]

Im Greek, when you see "ei" you just pronounce it as "e" like "e"qual.

[@firingallcylinders2949]

Thanks I didn't know that

[@brandonfisher2350]

Hey Aussie … I studied Latin for 5 years. I would pronounce the spear unit, “limit-ahn-eye”

[@jacobwilliams7918]

Lim ah tawnee I believe is how it is pronounced.

[@Krash_TM]

100% it's (limit) (tan) (aye) limitanae

[@johnnypenso9574]

The Byz have made late game gold irrelevant. Last 15 minutes of the game Beast had 2500+ gold more per minute and still lost. Incredible.

[@yuriisieniahin1370]

Wtf that mangonel implacements are? Why all old civs have that useless springald, while new civs got mangonels in keeps (even in towers)?

[@svenlambrecht8288]

I am struggling with the fact you call each strat / civ, either insane, broken or something else in that line... they can"t all be broken and be the best?

[@AussieDrongo]

its just marketing, i'm highlighting a strategy, but most people wouldn't click on it if i just wrote "a basic strategy for byzantines that is fun"

[@svenlambrecht8288]

I understand, it just makes it hard for me to decide whats good or not@@AussieDrongo

I know it's wrong, but I can't stop myself from thinking "Ayylmaos" every time you mention that civilization's name.

[@mrv_013]

Beasty you btter then that. Why don't train any gulam? Tower of sultan test just 1 time. spear bizentin can win cavery and resist long rang unit (shild wall) and in game just trine expencive unit cavery and hand conon. Midel of game I throught he camble on don't use all of unit he can.

Valdemar…he who must not be named. He is a PROBLEM
