Order of the Dragon - New AoE4 Civ Summarized!

[@AgeofNoob]

I recently learned that subscribing to the channel will make you a gilded nobleman in the eyes of the house of Age of Noob.

[@demon9166]

Do you use mod that makes the house bigger or units smaller? Because in game the units are looking bigger compared to the buildings.

[@AgeofNoob]

@@demon9166 Mostly the units are smaller.

[@franciscomelendeze]

Gilded Noob

[@raulpetrascu2696]

Fun fact the chivalric Order of the Dragon is where Dracula gets his name. Vlad the Impaler's father was part of the Order and was nicknamed Vlad Dracul (Vlad the Dragon). So when his son came to power he was known as Vlad "Son of the Dragon" or "of the Dragon", hence Vlad Dracula 🧛‍♂️

I love how you rescale the units and constructions in your cinematics. Makes it much more realistic. ❤

[@benjaminlquinlan8702]

How is this done?

[@kennycai8695]

I think the variant civs can be summed up in one sentence. Bear in mind, this is the abridged version, so I still advise you to check them out for yourselves if possible. Jeanne D'Arc - You want to be a hero (unit). Ayyubids - You like eco bonuses, but you also want a bit more strength to your military punch. Zhu Xi's Legacy - You want resources, and lots of them, and Shaolin Monks too. Order of the Dragon - You want the best things money can buy.

[@Darksiege357]

Order of the Dragoon reminds me a lot of Nova from SC2 Coop. She had 100 max population but had elite units that were slow to get started but much stronger I wont be surprised if OotD has a lower population cap or each house only contributes 2 max pop or something

[@Jimboquacks]

I would probably predict the former. Or at the most each unit is 2 pop. Malians houses only give 5 pop. 2 pop per house would be ridiculous.

[@franciscomelendeze]

Nova is one of my favorite commanders in sc2.

[@AtticusKarpenter]

@@franciscomelendeze Same! Quality over quantity is naturally enjoyable shift in rts, but commanders like Tychus take this too far, they are not elite soldiers but superheroes with anime powers, harder to immerse Nova's Black Ops operatives on the other hand is exactly hardened, elite soldiers, not immortal, easily overwhelmed when below critical mass (even if this mass is pretty low for any given number of opponents), but otherwise they grind army after army by sheer firepower and covering each other's weaknesses in combine arms combat. Before nerf that disallow Nova to research damage and armor upgrades twice fast and cheap by such perc (they soon make it affect all other upgrades besides weapon and armor) i cleared Dead of Night (zombie defence) map in couple of cycles by marines not stopping even in night time (on max difficulty, and i'm not a gosu level player in general), earned praise of the teammate, that was very fun

[@Nepto148]

Just noticed something with the video of the farmers gathering. They were gathering so fast that the farm squares weren't growing back in time so the villagers had to move to another farm.

[@AgeofNoob]

That's actually on me - I left the "inna jiffy" cheat on by mistake for too long. :)

[@Nepto148]

@@AgeofNoob Ah, that makes more sense... Although, would've been an interesting balance for food gather rate in the midgame.

[@suryaputraplaysgames]

The villagers mechanic , looks like the Atlantean Civ in Age of Mythology . The elite military mechanic looks similar to Nova mechanic in starcraft 2. Would be interest to see how this combination works.

[@weredraco]

[@Vesmir789]

I'm excited for this one. I really like the idea of the more expensive and elite units, and I'm surprised that it extends to the villagers as well. It'll be really interesting to see how they play. Definitely going to be the first variant civ that I try out

I can’t believe it’s in game. The shots that can be taken in this game are astounding

[@Unholy_Anti-roman_Individual]

beautiful cinematic shots after a long time!

[@FatherRabbitt]

Some of the language around their units makes me wonder if some of them will cost more than 1 population…either way, the civ design is awesome and they look sick as hell

[@michal4736]

I feel that Order of the Dragon will be my new main civ! I love straightforward civs and prefer to focus on microig units more than on the macro civ strategy. Less but stronger units are even more comfortable to me because since I like early-mid fights, a late game with 100+ units is a bit overwhelming to me. It looks like they will be just more tactic-like e.g Space Marines :D

[@raulpetrascu2696]

I can imagine moments like 300 spartans vs the Persian hordes. It'll be so cool. I always liked having a few but memorable units because when they survive it's like they have their own story

[@raulpetrascu2696]

Also at the end of games with my friends I'll challenge them to a 1v1 (unit vs unit) to decide their fate.. this is gonna help

[@epicseadragon1692]

Thanks for the video! From what you describe, the Order of the Dragon does sound similar to the OG Tootons in AOE2... but with Spanish supremacy baked in :D

[@liaocheng4942]

I hope they would give the gilded units different armour and weapon appearance comparing to their counterparts instead of just changing their colours and call it a day....

[@holyhandgrenadeofantioch2234]

That would be actual work. All we can do is Order of the Bling.

[@speedyf40]

[@666sentrax]

I really appreciate the Skyrim music in all your videos.

[@robbert7an]

I was looking for your version and I'm first! Yours are the best!

[@stefanrichter8480]

My guess is that there will be just regular monks instead of prelates and the pop cap is 150 with houses giving only 7 pop. I also dont think they will get any bonus from relics. That means the aachen chapel has to funktion slightly different same as the regnitz cathedral. Influence system is maybe the same like in all variant civs i think.

[@flazzorb]

It is mind-boggling that the order of the dragon was an order within the HRE, _ie mostly german,_ but its most famous member was Romanian tyrant, terror, and war hero Vlad Dracula.

[@Fantasygod19999]

Dude I have been doing a new Skyrim play through and I thought I was tripping for a second

[@JL-vk1rs]

Thanks for all your great videos

[@ned8896]

3:40 Hard disagree here. HRE is already an easy enough civ to play. A variant should differ from it's parent in order for it to feel more unqiue as a whole. By giving OoTD the simple to play treatment, it will nullify any sort of new unique units or changes for that civ in the future. Because every single time that topic will be brought up upon, people will reply with "Because it's the easiest civ to play, more unique units would make it hard for new players" or something along with that. I did not expect the devs create any new unique units to HRE or the OoTD and I'm still disappointed that it was all just a reskin and hard coded stat changes, except for the cavalrys charge attack ability which is the french knights charge attack ability, but for defense. I would love it if they actually get some unique units, but I highly doubt it will happen.

[@franciscomelendeze]

I don't agree, you need to be good at defending and in lower levels it is easier to be the attacker than the defender. Also you want to go to castle age as soon as possible and lower Elo players may lose to feudal aggression, which is the meta right now.

[@anyany2021]

I'm feeling the Order of the Dragon. I would rather have a smaller army of stronger specialized units vs. a mass of cannon fodder. In regard to the comment about population efficiency and OotD being broken late game, what the devs will probably do something similar to Starcraft: either make each elite unit use much more supply (so instead of 1 supply per unit it's 4) or they will cut the total supply for OotD by half (so instead of 200 max pop it will be 100). Either one of those seems to be the most likely scenario because if they don't, OotD will be the most powerful civ in AOE late game hands down. They will be virtually unstoppable.

[@nocil134]

Not sure if this is in planning already, but if you haven't yet, I wonder what the OotD units compares to normal units works with same resource and/or supply. If they are double resource and double supply with double stats, don't they just end up being similar to old units produced double?

Brilliant stuff as always Noob. Might be in the minority here but I find these variant civs *very* disappointing, and not even because of the recycled assets (which I don't personally have a problem with) -- there was a lot of potential to do some great stuff with this concept, but between (in my opinion) lazy designs and laughable history it really feels like they were last minute additions to pad out the roster and make this expansion feel more full than it is. None of this detracts from your work in covering and showcasing the releases, though. This is my go-to AoE4 channel for good reason.

[@raulpetrascu2696]

Do you mean like it would've been better to have a brand new fleshed-out civ centred around this mechanic rather than to be part of the variant civs? If so I kinda agree but I also much prefer getting more bang for my buck in this DLC and more variation of civs sooner rather than later, instead of waiting another who knows how long for a complete new thing in a 2 civ DLC I won't buy. Right now this is all a gain to us, you never know if they would've done these without the benefit of being less of a workload and time sink. The main reason I went back to playing AOE2 over this is it feels like there's about 3 civs

finaly someone who brings in lanchesters law. i think, this will be one of its biggest weaknesses. tougher villagers dose not mean that they are harder to raid, ther vills will mostlikely also cost more and train longer then normal villager, so every vill you kill or idel will be an even bigger punsh to there eco then it normaly would be the case. overall this variant is the most boring one. Its litterly just bigger numbers and beside smaller unit numbers it will not play much diffrent from the original. Beasty said in hes video, that there landmarks still the same for the most part. Aachen will be an eco landmark, even without the boosting aura from prelats, meinwerk will be a blacksmith, problably with diffrent unique techs and so on.
