You can. In the match making setup, there were options to enable/disable whichever win condition you like. So I switched off Wonder & Sacred site victory conditions for longer games but left the 'Destroy all enemy landmarks' victory enabled to have some way of winning

It's not about technology. Even back in AoE they could have programmed a mechanic that requires catapults to be driven by units. But they didn't implement it then, and they don't implement it now, because it's not fun. Making games isn't about striving for what's the most true to life. It's about finding a balance between fun and realism. While pulled catapults may look cool, they don't necessarily make for good gameplay. QA and playtesting will have confirmed that self-driving catapults is the best way to implement the mechanic.

You can shift click on the mills and other building to quickly add farms around it! Great video, at first I didn't like the game at all because of the crazy bad marketing campaign and some bad first looks/animations. But to be honest I am starting to like the game more and more because of these videos! You guys are carrying the developers so hard, keep it up!

Looks great, that Town Center bell though is quite grating

This is awesome! Next time please explore the naval units :)

So beautiful so well done. Thank you for showing us how this game is truly

Game looks super awesome thanks for sharing! My only gripe is that damn town center bell...Everytime you click the town center that Bell is way too loud and obnoxious. Sounds like an alarm bell like you're rallying the workers lol they need to fix that!!!

Great gameplay!

Age of Empires 2 is the ultimate Medieval Age game. This AOE4 must be really good and bold to bring the medieval era again.

Hope to see the AOE4 campaign from you when the game comes out. And you should play it on higher difficulty becouse the AI was so passive, like it tried to do the turtle strategy but instead of the real turtle it just built walls without any towers or anything and spread out a lot

wow, they even had a road when new building, build

Any similarity between the miniature of the video and the final result, pure coincidence.

Couldn't MS just have put a static "Technical Stress Test" text in the corner of the screen. That text is driving me crazy. Anyway thanks for the video man.

This is exactly how i remember it from years ago but now with better graphics ...... and a 42" screen. Bliss.

Unit collisions look weird ... i see them catapults stacking on top of / overlapping each other.

I love old englisch. As a german it Sounds just so familiar. (And cool) :D

Why are the units so big?

Idk why i am still standing with AOE 2 and AOM.

This looks like fun.

I used to play stronghold it was my childhood game haha

I still prefer the unit movement and attacking animation inAOE2, it is much more precise which makes the very essential part of the game play: Microing. I doubt if we can see the fun 1v1 magonel war or the mind game when a group of archers try to dodge mogonel's shot

I dislike micromanagement. I would like to see more emphasis on strategy. Ofc a game can not please all, so I hope the devs focus on one interest group and make them happy. If Aoe4 was stuck somewhere in the middle, it will risk that nobody is pleased.

The old games had way more units I wish they could recreate that

Much more? Such as? AoE 4 focuses on bringing variety to the old AoE 2 formula. Each civilization has its own playstyle and a lot of units have multiple 'modes' (longbowmen can place down anti cavalry stakes, knights have lances that they will charge with, hell I'm seeing melee units set fire to buildings). You can have units on walls, too, so sieges can get pretty interesting Even visually, I believe it's a new engine

I do like it! A more medieval looking UI would be more immersive but I also like the modern style. Have no problems reading stuff

You need to pull your human units away from the buildings that shoot arrows, just use your catapults for those and use the human units to attack villagers and protect catapults.

currently only rts worth playing are total war and starcraft so i hope this game is decent if only for the genre. looks decent tho

@@Neon12J Just looked at some because you told me to and it's even worse than I remember. Seriously, do you understand what it takes to make good graphics? Aoe3 de looks very saturated and it's obvious the dated textures clash with the improved post-processing effects. People tend to confuse graphic fidelity with art direction. Just because aoe4 doesn't employ the latest post-processing techniques or lighting algorithms doesn't mean it can't have good graphics. What makes aoe4 have better graphics is its art direction that is built from the ground up for the new engine. But sure, you can disagree with art direction, that's fair play.

The commentary went without a pause or a break for the first 2:24. My guy, pausing is refreshing
