  I play both games and I find aoe4 better even though aoe2 is a masterpiece. Some tips: Since french have faster vill production you usually wanna go 8-9 on food and then 4 on gold to afford knights and upgrades. Also French has cheaper eco techs so it is good to upgrade everything as fast as you can. With french you always open knights. French knights is probably the strongest unit in the game in feudal age. You know your opponent must go spears to counter them so you can go archers almost right away since they are the best counter to spears. Since you almost always go aggro with french you will have map control so it is a good idea to vacuum all food sources on the map before going farms. I usually go guild hall in age 3 (one of the best landmarks in the game), put it on wood and when you are about to transition to farms, like 20 minutes in, you collect the wood from the guild hall and then transition to farms. 2 tc french and trade boom french is also viable.

  Interesting, I will have to experiment more with the game. AOE4 is a good game for sure. I appreciate your suggestions when I play it next I will be sure to try it, going in I kind of tried to adapt how I play aoe2 so I guess I have lots to learn 😊

  Hey Echo! It's an interesting way to try to give the extreme AI a playing field but I think what kills it in arabia is that it never walls. Do you think this could be more interesting in a closed map like arena?

  wp wp, this is an overall good game. Once you advance to castle, you can either go 3 tc boom or a defensive castle, like you did. Since Byzantines are a good civ for defending, you could just boom and wall up instead of going fast imp. The Cavalier really wrecked in the last few minutes of the game. I suggest working on your eco in the early imperial time since your eco couldn't keep up with constant production from your castle and 2 stables. Around the end, I noticed that you stopped producing villagers, even though you had plenty of pop space left. I think this is something that you could work on, still producing villagers even when you are attacking until you hit the pop limit. Your scorpions were a good play against the mass of archers and pikemen, which destroyed half of the army's health. Overall really good game, you were always one step ahead of the Extreme AI, and never let it get a chance to actually harm your eco much.

  Thanks! My late game is where i struggle most. I will be sure to work on it. Typically I like to try to win early castle so my late game boom is something I have never worked on! Glad you enjoyed the video!

  Great game! The cataprachts are pretty expensive but they shut down the usual roman comp of infantry and scorpions. Though they didn't quite get there this game, for some reason the AI got stuck on feudal. Just as a tip, try looking into using the "select all tc's" hotkey. It makes booming from multiple tc's way easier!

  I was disappointed to not see mass militia being the main force. It is well known that the AI struggles against towers and castles.

• 
  @EchoEmpires3 ай бұрын

  I understand your point, which is why I didn’t tower rush or anything, unless I have a huge force its near impossible for me to deal with a group of archers especially in castle age where they are crossbows and such. After all I am only 1300elo on a very good day xD

  @EliasHasle3 ай бұрын

  @@EchoEmpires I think that the moats map was "rigged" in favor of a castle before the shallows, which was just within your "rules". Anyway, there are ways to "cheese" the AI in Dark Age, such as walling it in completely, and walling its resources. That would make it a villager attack more than anything else, though. I think it is possible to "constrict" the AI with a bunch of Dark Age militia too, though. E.g., move militia around in small packs, surrounding the enemy base. Stop builders before they can complete their archery ranges, towers, etc.. Allowing all upgrades except the unit line makes for a nice challenge too. It is not necessarily "cheating". 😁

• 
  @EliasHasle3 ай бұрын

  PS: A few days ago, I used Dark Age Burgundians to defeat the Extreme AI playing Feudal Age Armenians on Arabia. I made really many militia, but also depended on sending villagers forward to wall in all the golds and maybe a couple production buildings. No towers, though. (Obviously not even available in Dark Age.) It should definitely be possible without walls by using the militia better. One or two militia on defensive stance can easily guard a neutral gold against single villagers. Human players are very likely able to punish a Burgundian mass drush, as it cannot get started as fast as a Goth drush. Also, the Burgundian Dark Age Feudal eco upgrades are barely on par with the Goth infantry discount, even in the long run. But at least wheelbarrow makes villagers less vulnerable to counter-raids.

  Hey Friends! Just wanted to clarify a few points in my video! My tier list here is not based on how strong the units are, i ranked these guys based on how much i like them. I didn’t think it was fair to rank these guys based on strength given that some have ranged attacks and others are super fast. If you guys want me to rank these guys based on how strong they are, I have something planned for the future!

• 
  @adeadfishdied7 ай бұрын

  Thoughts: 1. Audio balance is whack. Any time you touch a unit I can't hear anything you say 2. Cobra car and Sharkatzor slaughter everything else on the list. They're the only actual S tier units here. 3. Heros aren't cheat units, but Genghis Khan slaughters the monkey, the penguin, and the alpaca. Absolutely A tier. 4. Furious should be down two or three tiers. Dies in nine hits of anything, so any ranged unit ruins him. 5. Penguin has a measly 64 hp. It's basically a reskinned Teutonic Knight. Needs to be down two tiers. 6. Saboteur is a good unit, but it's also a one-time use. That's not very good compared to basically everything else on the list. C tier max.
