Would recommend that you turn the score on so we can use it as a benchmark to compare how close we are too you. Great videos thanks!!!

[@paulrevere7287]

Agreed

Damn, that was impressive macro! I got into AoE3 recently and I really like to improve. Your casts and guides help me a lot

[@TestoBirne]

Very good job, this series is so important to expand or at least improve the aoe3 community :)

[@chefboyardee2670]

Amazing series

1:49 to 1:58 is such a bob ross moment

[@Tegawe]

I love exploiting the Currassiers and Dragoons. I play with my cousins and they cover infantry and artillery. I focus on French cavalry to launch little sorties and to cover our defense with walls, 3 forts, and outpots with a quick response cavalry force while they make invasion forces. I attack with them on the final attack

[@patrickbraz9449]

You talk as fast as you play hehehe, very nice video bro! keep rocking it

[@LovingWhispers1995]

thank you for your video, i have made notes of it and i am going to try this strategie next time in age of empires, my strategie was sending unending shipments of villegers, for me that worked always very well, but i love to try your guiede

[@ikwilgeenaccount4496]

This made me feel like a big fat newb hahah! Great video!

[@Herrgolani]

Hi aussie, great video! Would it be possible to have this written out and also have explanations for certain moves? I'm a complete noob in AoE3 and do not understand certain concepts. For example, why is 13 villager age up better than 14 village age up? Why are the upgrades you chosen important? etc.

How do you change the color of your idle villager flag in the top left? I noticed yours is red and that seems a lot easier to notice

Its called the Drongo MOD by Aiz11 which you can find in Tools on DE

Hi great video. I recently moved to DE. How did you activate investigate technologies with the keyboard. I mean, I noticed that for advance to the next age you only tape letter “A”.

this is so good!

I have AOE3 Definitive Edition... why does my game HUD look entirely different?!

[@underwaterworlds5922]

[@deepakx7]

"Nothing too, ya know, hungersome on the map" LOL

[@HustleSenseiMikey]

Any changes for the orginal?

[@naotoakamura]

what kind of advantage did you get with this start over the 12/10? because with 12/10 you can get the exact same thing but with a faster age up. You even mentioned that 13 vills is better if you get a good food treasure, but in that case i think is better to age even early to get those 700 wood asap for some early pressure if you want to or get to age 3 even faster

[@PrasenjeetKumarAuthor]

12/10 used to be good but then the starting crates were nerfed by 50 food which leads to idle tc time and age up after 4 minutes with a much weaker economy. That's why 12/10 has fallen off the meta for the French even though it is still viable for the Spanish.

[@joakimskovjensen]

How do you eject villagers on a specific side of the building? Mine always just spits them out randomly

[@killercarl2010]

Select TC and Right click to set rally point and unit/vil will come out which ever side you select rally point to be.

[@szabokaroly6234]

Aztec starting order pleeeease Daddy! I can’t find any that is good :c

[@diptube6563]

On maps with a lot of outlaw treasure guardians; build community plaza; research big button, and collect outlaws and treasures while heading to enemy base, you can harass them with 2-3 units and interrupt their early economy while you age up as normal.

[@bdegroot7258]

3 vills - fast age up - 3 warrior priest is my common start. You can choose from there what you wanna go. I like to dance the warrior dance and bring them to my explorer who's taking all treasures to further increase the mob you make. You can ship wood shipment to make houses and war hut after OR you can go puma's and rush down enemy house before backing off and try to get mace shipments and big button tc to kill the rest of enemy base

[@Redragonclaws]

Why is steel traps important for French? Pays for cuirass spam?

[@bram_aoe3]

Steel traps improves food (hunts) gathering rate by +20%. Since all of your units and CDB primarily cost food, you will have most villagers on food, so getting steel traps in early is vital.

[@Asfalttisoturí27]

Are your streaming schedule changed because haven't seen you streaming in a while or am I missing something?

[@ramphislopezortiz3024]

I think, according to the schedule on Twitch he’s supposed to stream on Thursday (today). He took 3 days off (according to the calendar)

[@Redragonclaws]

I noticed you didn’t rush hunting dogs with French either (same as Dutch who saved wood for bank), but did with Germany. Why’s this?

[@mitoe0]

It's all about getting the most out of your starting resources: French and Dutch both have ways to spend that wood before they hit the 2nd age. For French this is usually best invested into a Trading Post, and Dutch usually prefers to save it to get a faster bank on the way up to age 2. Germany, on the other hand, has no way to spend their 100 coin on anything except market upgrades, so rushing Hunting Dogs is usually the best use of those resources.

[@fulkerhelsson4571]

any type of rush will totally kill this build

no it won't. At least not that easily.
