I've been looking at reviews trying to decide if I should buy IV and none of them seem to make honor to how exciting it is to watch your videos. The game is so fun to spectate, the civs have so much identity, with so many good options for different scenarios and the game does not look bad (it could look better tbh) I think this game does not get the recognition it deserves. I will buy I think

I've played aom, aoe2, and aoe4. Aoe4 is by far my favorite, I've really been enjoying this game Edit: I like it because it's pretty, feels well balanced, the civs are each unique and very interesting (it's like I'm playing a different game from civ to civ), and the community is quite fun/nice as well

I think the game has quite a focus on being good to play. It's still a classical RTS. So there is a lot to do -- too much perhaps. But there are so many sound ques that help you with situational awareness and they blend into the atmosphere perfectly. Individual unit controls and visual are both alright; works; nothing special; also clearly tested over carefully. Normal is probably the best here. You can see how distinguishable units of different players are as a spectator. Some units inevitably bare similarities but from ground up, you can see how they are meant to be recognizable as a spectator. That would be even more important for the player who needs to make split second decisions. Meanwhile, as a player you stare at the graphics for extended duration; so you need the units and the landscape to look good. And they do. AOE4 also removed some of the flashier micro for spectators like dodging arrow shots. I think removing micro like that (and there are more instances where AOE4 dev removed micro for micro sake) significantly extends the pool of potential players who can play AOE4 competently. These days, we all get old, become slow, yet still want to play competitive video games. AOE4 is good for that. If you know you like the aesthetics and the general idea of RTS -- minus the traditional micro demand, I'd really take advantage of the half price promotion and get it now.

I think walls for The Kid played a large part in this victory. You can't play with no walls against the beast from the east. Beasty's comebacks always involved raiding the other party to death. The Kid was able to somewhat nullify that with the walls he set up.

Mongols invisible walls need a buff

Great work Valdermar! The Kid is slowly becoming The Man.

Might want to rethink how you phrase things when casting games with "The Kid" in them lol "If I'm feeling The Kid" context is everything 😂

I absolutely love Val (The Kid) as a player and I think he's a great streamer with an aptitude for teaching viewers. That said, I have *got* to believe there was an easier way to win this game several minutes earlier. It was frustrating watching him play so passive after gaining so many huge advantages. Either get your rams going or your TCs going after a huge army victory...right?

Maaaaaaaaaaaaaan. Glad to see an ArcheAge enjoyer. I really miss ArcheAge. I played it from alpha till the end. I mostly played during Auroria and 3rd Kingdom times. Really had a blast. The amount of Diplomacy you need to do for a stability in your own guild or your own kingdom was insane. The amount of drama the amount of backstabbing was insane. One of a kind game really.

Great game, very fun to watch

It's so strange the deficit that Mongols have against a lot of civilizations. Mongols are probably the greatest empire ever. They took over China, they took over what would be considered Rus territory. Their horsemen and horse archers should be the best in the game. And that's just to keep it historically accurate.

@aussie_drongo can you do the French mirror between Demu and Beasty

Wow!! Beastyqt is going to need a beta blocker after that!!
