its really silly when a civilization has gold shaft mining but not stone shaft mining. "Yeah, we have mastered removing gold from the depths of the earth. But rocks? The fevered dreams of a mad man!"

[@rovsea-3761]

Explain the logic to me of Incas having fully upgraded galleons, then. :P

[@khorps4756]

+Rovsea because inca were super advanced but the whities came and ruined/stole their stuff and framed them as savages

[@khorps4756]

the inca had printing presses, carracks and hot air balloons and white man stole them

[@miskakopperoinen8408]

In case you forgot /sarcasm, all good. If not, I'd just like to remind that printing press was invented in Europe in 1440, carracks first appeared in Europe in 1300s and there's no historical source about man-carrying hot air balloons until 1783 in France Pizarro, the guy responsible for the demise of the Incas, arrived in Peru in 1531. Naturally anything before that can't possibly be stolen from Incas, and it seems unlikely that anybody would remember an obscure idea somebody had 350 years ago on another continent under conditions that wouldn't really support the preservation of information.

[@khorps4756]

+Miska Kopperoinen yeah, it was sarcasm. although I can understand correcting me as there are REALLY stupid people in this world who would probably agree with what I said. I also don't like saying /s anymore because it gives the game away and sometimes I like to play the game longer

I still think that the Feitoria nerf was to heavy Either reduce stone income OR make it cost stone. It's just that one nerf influences the other so hard, since the 250 gold are back in 9 minutes, but the stone take almost 20 min...

[@Volcano4981]

I'd definitely get the original 250 w 250 g cost at the current stone production rate as it would make them worth it but not OP

The feitoria nerf feels so bad as someone that primarily plays Portuguese

[@TheManofthecross]

lets not forget the feitoria is suseptable to monk conversions aka monk raids so they can be converted.

[@brotatochimp]

It's unfortunate they have these disadvantages because I like the look of the feitoria. I like the aesthetic and look of the Spanish and Portuguese civ.

[@godshades]

Few things I could point out that weren't mentioned in the video. 1. Cartography is very good for free in nomad games 2. I've noticed a lot that when going feudal agression, you don't build a market, only an archery range/stable and a blacksmith when enough wood. In these cases, specially when coordenating with others, it's a pretty good tech to have. 3. It's also very good for fast castle knight rushes because, even if you're going fast castle, you're doing a stables instead of a market. Doing a knight rush in a pocket position with cartography allows you to quickly know where to send them if an ally needs help.

[@rovsea-3761]

If you're going fast castle into knights you shouldn't have a market anyways, it's a lot of wood to basically throw down the drain.

[@carbon1255]

That is what he said Rovsea.

[@frikativos]

Free cartography at the beginning of a nomad map is really helpful.

[@EngPheniks]

I'm glad they designed a new architecture the Mediterranean type and applied it to the Portuguese, Spanish, Italians and Byzantines. previously the Spanish civilization was designed in the Northern European type and the Byzantines had the middle eastern type. all those were changed when the Definitive edition came up.

[@thomasmarbacher6539]

This overview needs an update. mainly because of the new team bonus.

[@Axowobo]

why do the portuguese get a c+ for their cavalry while the japanese have a b in the expansions? :D their cavalry costs less gold and has one more armor upgrade. still loving your videos :)

[@SpiritOfTheLaw]

The big difference to me is the Japanese have a really good early game bonus. I figure Portuguese save maybe 1 gold miner worth of gold by 20 minutes if they go knights, and their scout rush has no help at all from any bonuses. Japanese save easily 200 wood in dark age, which means better scout rush and fast castle into knights than Portuguese. Maybe if you keep pumping out knights for 5 minutes the Portuguese bonus catches up, and in the long run they save more gold, but Japanese in the expansions are a solid cavalry civ until imperial age.

[@tigerd7528]

That is a great point. The last armor upgrade is huge. If your cavaliers only get 4 pierce armor, they die extremely quickly to arrows. But with 6 pierce armor, they take 1 damage from skirms rather than 3, and are much better at raiding.

[@tigerd7528]

But the Japanese lack the crucial plus 4 upgrade. The plus 4 cavalier early imperial age power spike can be outright game deciding, at all skill levels. Having 6 pierce armor means your knights are immune to castle age 7 attack xbows, as well as TC fire. having only 4 pierce armor means you take three times the damage from enemy arrows. Personally I would've given the Portuguese a higher score just for the plus 4 armor, but their knights also cost less gold. I think it's hard to justify not giving Portuguese a higher score in cavalry than the Japanese. Sure, Japanese have a better scout rush, but knights in my opinion are a much more impactful unit than scouts.

[@genericpersonx333]

I suspect it is mostly because the Japanese have fully-upgradeable horse archers. Also, unlike with the Portuguese who have superior bombard cannons to counter siege in the Imperial Age, the Japanese really have to rely on cavaliers to keep those pesky onagers under control because they don't have siege onagers or bombard cannons themselves. In other words, the inferior Japanese cavalry are more useful to the Japanese than the inferior Portuguese cavalry is to the Portuguese in the late game.

[@tigerd7528]

Eustace Stritchers Usefulness to a particular civ doesn't add strength to a unit type. Cavalry archer also counts towards archery range.

I don't have the HD Edition of AoE2, but you overlooked a detail. Feitorias could be overpowered in Naval battles. Your island's resources may dry out, and raiding the enemy land for resources is not viable, so those Feitorias will actually be saving your butt in those situations.

[@rogeriocardoso8258]

I was waiting for this overview for so long. Thanks, man. The only thing I don't agree is the rate you gave to the portuguese cavalry (C+); I would give them a B- at least since it sounded pretty standard to me (below Franks and above Vikings, for example).

[@MrAllmightyCornholioz]

Os portugueses são impressionantes.

[@tiveqcriarcontanova]

Every time I come back to this video I'm astounded at how massively they nerfed this civ. Organ guns - 1 damage for all projectiles but the main one. Feitoria - was already not that great and they made it awful! Arquebus - why reduce the speed of cannons? What's the argument here? By the same logic remove the insane speed from spanish cannon galleons!! That coupled with terrible team bonus, caravels being very situational, and you've got probably the most underwhelming civ in the game. They went from OP to UP. These devs didn't manage to find a balance and ended up fucking it up. It really does piss me off.

[@TheHadesShade]

The free cartography team bonus can be really useful on Nomad map. Helps you track your mates, helps preventing you to set up shop to far away from them and helps scouting out the enemy sooner.

[@xxiao5156]

The Caravel up top at 8:12 is the flagship of Francisco de Almeida, whom you pointed out at 5:13 in your Portuguese campaign video.

[@farloux]

0:39 "Goth game plan" hilarious.

[@matheusrios4223]

the portuguese (and spanish before their addition, in the og AoK and AoC) is the closest I can get in AoE2 of my civ to play, since I'm brazilian. so you can say I'm happy with this overview and I wish DE made organ guns spread shots do more damage and arquebus also giving gunpowder units faster attack rates/shots (like the cannon galleon of the spanish qwq). and Feitoria being more op too because 20 pop is too much lol

[@joesmith9974]

I think you underplayed how useful free carto is. obviously it is completely useless in 1v1s, but in team games, especially 2v2s or in other game modes where feudal aggression is prevalent and resources have to be prioritized in favor of military, the 175 wood for a market is a waste unless your eco is unbalanced and you have to build one to sell resources anyways. for 5 more wood you could get 3 farms and advance to castle faster, or for the same price you could build another archery range etc. It is also useful for coordinating attacks since x'ing the map like a madman only works so well. it encourages better teamwork such as one person bringing over archers to help kill spears so his ally can use his scouts to raid the enemy. you can also use your scouts more efficiently since you wont both scout the same areas twice unnecessarily. I would even argue this is one of the strongest team bonuses in team games.

[@roachtheable]

great overview! thanks! could you do a video covering how the market is influenced with other people buying/selling. overall market strat

[@jefffinkbonner9551]

Just happened to be checking back in here a few years later... 2:14 "Of course the Turks get the last laugh since they were changed to +20% in the expansions." (Laughs in Portuguese also getting their bonus buffed to 20% gold cost reduction) And 30% faster techs. Turks did get +1 pierce armor on scout line too tho :D

[@Chenla]

3:30 - Irrelevant, Vikings dont have Fire Galleys, so they are screwed, unless you are TOP micro player. 5:08 - After Portuguese Unique Tech nerf, Organ Guns became much weaker, maybe +2 pierce armor or increased movement speed could help, as I suggested. 8:10 - Problem is, you never go full Caravel, they are really useless against Fire Ships, you only mix few in if you have the resources for it. Or just go pure Caravel + Fire Ship and never build a single Galeon (you still need its upgrade for Fire though). 10:38 - Indian Hand Cannoneers beat Portuguese, that +1 range is really a difference. 10:50 - I remember I sent you, that Cannon Galeon is not affected and you confirmed it that time, glad they fixed it :-). Thanks for the Overview, waited for it for a long time ;-).

[@bullholder]

I agree on everything except Indian Hand Cannoneers. The extra range is a big negative actually - they get more inaccurate the further away they are from the unit they attack. Whereas portuguese hc get ballistics so are much more accurate at all ranges.

[@Chenla]

Yeah, but not this time. HC are so slow that even their bad accuracy will hit some of them, clumped especially. So by the time Portuguese will reach the range to fire, their dmg is already reduced. Turks HC are the only one, who beat the Indian ones. (At least Indians have something, for compensate their useless 'unique' castle unit).

[@misteral9045]

I think it depends on the use of micro and the size of the battle. In small groups with micro (~10-20 units) Portuguese will always win since the opponents micro is nullified (HC vs HC). Very similar to getting ballistics for crossbows in castle age. In large battles with multiple kinds of units where micro is not practical, I think we can consider arquebus to indirectly make Portuguese HCs more effective, since they will hit more of their shots. However, here is where there is no objective argument as to what is better. Turks hp? Indian range? Spanish fire rate? Personally, I would go with Indians range, since it makes the HC more flexible, but there are strong arguments for each side.

[@zhewaxen3047]

The vikings can go fast castle to get longboats and outproduce most civilizations, so lack of fire galleys doesn't matter a lot.

[@samrodrigues3199]

Yeah, Organ Guns are awful imo. When they serve for me as a Hand Cannoneer which costs more resources, I can't garrison or heal and only real advantage is when I'd face off against archer units (Which I'd counter with skirms or Bombard Cannons) I don't see how they fit in. Man, I wish I had been able to play them pre-Arquebus nerf. They looked absolutely amazing.

[@eccentrichorse11]

You should have mentioned that the team bonus is useful for early scouting since it is like having extra scout in the dark age which means you can quickly find oppenents since if any one else on your team finds them then you find them too. You can also co-ordinate and each player can scout different parts of the map to avoid overlap. You can also completely neglect scouting and have your scout lure deer while your allies do the scouting for you. But of course if everyone does that it could lead to a problem. P.S Loved the 1:04 joke.

[@SentimentalNegativity]

wish we had Chariots/Scythe Chariots in AoE2 like we did in AoE1 :( only reason I built markets in Aoe1 anyway lel. Gotta have that wheel research!

[@TheGloriousLobsterEmperor]

Ohhh man, necroing comment threads. But anyway; Chariots really wouldn't make sense in AoE2. By even the first century, chariots had lost most of their military power. They were less maneuverable and it was better to just put a dude on a horse instead of a chariot. By the time AoE 2 takes place, chariots were barely ever used at all. Still, they were cool in AoE 1. I always will have fond memories of them.

Japanese has the same unit available but without last armor upgrade and they got a B while portuguese with +2 armor and a gold cost reduction for knights get a C+ ? Edit : I made a test, one cavalier vs 12 split skirmishers, the japanese one killed 2, the portuguese one killed ...10

[@harooooo1]

Imho the gather rate increase is a much better bonus than the discount in early stages of the game, where you can put 1-3 less villagers on gold which can work on other places, while for lategame i agree that the discount is better since it lets u put more gold units to the field.

[@rovsea-3761]

I was somewhat disappointed that Spirit didn't point out that the gather bonus is useless when you're relying on trade, while the cost discount just becomes even more important then.

[@hbarudi]

Once they complete bugfixes (check the comments on steam), I do wish for each civilization to get a unique economic building (except Portuguese they have feitoria as their unique economic building) and also a unique military building. The unique ecomomic building there are many ideas including a civilization to get a camp that drops off all 4 resources and unique military building such as the fire tower. The villager buildings and military buildings button has 1 spot available for economic buildings and portuguese get the feitoria there after the wonder, and also the military buildings have an empty spot after the siege workshop. Then an idea to make fishing ship become "villager of the sea" the way it was in the very early stages of the game in age of kings 1998. The fishing ship needs to be able to build fish trap, dock, sea wall, sea tower, and be able to repair anything it can reach. Currently fish traps are not repairable in any way, but are healable by monks I tried that and it worked.

[@sedivh0]

hbarudi since we're at it, why not give ships wheels so they can be used on land and allow you to garrison archers on ships for additional attack? Yeah, let's make civilizations not unique anymore and make them all the same so when you get bored of playing one, you'll get bored of all of them.

[@ThrE3-GeS]

Portuguese ships have more hp because the only ships that ever returned, from the "spanish" armada that filippe send out to england, where in fact portuguese, like the flaggship São Martinho. And since then everybody knew, portuguese build the best ships. And where the first to shoot bronze canons that where loaded from the back. Maybe that's where they got the idea for the unique canory unit.

[@dartaz2351]

Im portuguese and aoe rlly represented portugal well. A navy country. For who is curious, check portugal's history. We fought off the spanish. We dominated enemys. And we were probably the begginers of the exploration by sea, and made one of the best historical books ever. And thats that. I am proud to be portuguese!

[@kr-sd3ni]

i feel like this civ doesnt have a unit that can punch through enemy units. they dont get paladins, cav archers, organ gun is basically a hand cannoneer with splash dmg and in late games hand cannoneers arent as good choice when enemy has paladins and war elephants and cav archers. i think archers and champions are the only viable late game choices imo.

Hey, been watching a lot of your vids for a long time now and love most of them if not all. I think I should comment more to get more talking going but I'm gonna try on this one lol. What do you think of the building if being raided or rushed and lose a lot of vils. In a team game it's more relevant in the case of starting a new town with little to no bills can get the buildings up fast and get resources in till you get bills and destroy them. Abit of a sacrifice but from experience it helped me not die and get back helping our team to a win. Although when I ran away I just massed resources and sent all to teammates but a good topic for more out of the box gameplay I guess.

Does the 2nd unique upgrade require the ballistic research or the units benefit from it without researching?
