A map in the actual shape of an octogon (using mountains) would be cool. Corners are too powerful defensively for lucky players starting near one. Would also be cool to have scouts always spawn near each of 8 edges on an octo map, with vills all spawing in the middle, hunger games style. No one would have a perceived advantage with a lucky spawn on a map and start like that. Still, great casting and action as always
as you describe would make for a good championship map.... let the rest be played on all these maps (these are pretty good and I like the Australian lore that goes with them too).
Drongo, I appreciate you videos, I am so proud that you got to do something you seem so natural and passionate about. I hope you can forever chase your dreams! And to you to random comments snooper
MarineLord's king snipe against Vortix was so hype! Imagine being Viper sweating and spilling spaghetti against a giant blue ball of elite knights, then they all suddenly collapse thanks to a rush of emerald pointy bois in the woods.
Is it possible to start with fog of war on, but everyone’s POV revealed? It would be cool to see how everyone started and initially moved. Edit: Thanks for the tournament, this is the most fun one that I watch.
@@sa-mp5iw No, reddit is a cesspit, I'd rather drink bleach than use this website. I'm just expressing amazement at the 79 knights army and how it takes over the game even against armies comp that should theoretically counter them. I don't pretend to have a higher understanding of the overall balance of the game.
Hey Drongo, Suggestion for a potentially better start, have you tried nomadic game mode? Basically your resources start at 0 then over the course of a minute or two they increase to the amount needed for the TC and extra production. Instead of a starting scout which could skew the game balance the nomadic starting system would give players time to properly scout without having any disadvantages with waiting whilst others boom.
Then also a strange idea but with the population increases, maybe it could be based on your current age? For example MarineLoad in age 1 and you get a kill you get an extra +200 pop, if you go to age 2, your max pop goes to +100, then age 3 +50, age 4 +25. Could see some sneaky strategy where people stay in a lower age to have more troops or a better eco boom? Could be convoluted but could reward players for playing like a horde.
Like several others mention, these spawn locations seem to be the biggest downside to the otherwise amazing Outback Octagon series. Would it be possible to set a 3-5 minute delay before anyone can actually build the TC? I imagine this would let people navigate away from some of the horrible locations, and possibly some amusing banter in the "pre-game" chat. Love your content Drongo, keep it up🙌
Or show the players their faction/nation, then the map. devide the map into 4?8? areas and have every player blindpick an area. someplayers might end up in the same, but other dont. different benefits - will give you a harder choice.
Random spawn locations is half of the fun. Overcoming a horrible spawn is fun to watch. The game type isn't about having an ideal test of pure skill, it's a chaos factory. That's why he flattened the prize pool and is offering bonus cash for players making fun plays.
@@condeezy12 While I do agree, a minimal time to relocate wouldn't let everyone choose their ideal spot, but rather limit the impossible situations such as BeastyQT faced. Maybe a lot of people like it, just throwing a suggestion in the box. Have a great day😊
I mean, 5 mins of no fight would kill any early agression. Also I doubt people would let themself have few mins of idle time in the beggining to go to other side of the map.
@@Hakiros54 Hi there! My suggestion was 3-5 minutes before any building/action at all can occur. Maybe cut down the time after some testing, but the point is to not have a repeat of the BeastyQT incident.
lol honestly this was awesome to watch. the only silly part is that i don't think some of the players realized that the kings have an ability to "briefly locate" the other kings? probably should make sure everyone knows about that for next game?
Drongo, you must have probably been aaking the debs for thia already, but how is spec chat coming along for aoe4? It took years for them to implement it in aoe2 DE but im hoping it gets done quickly for aoe4.
hey drongo i recently enjoy the outback octagon quite a bit. usually i like 1v1 matches more but somehow the dynamic of a FFA mixed with regicide is super tense und fun to watch. however what i disliked so far is the random spawns and "unfair" matches for some players. the best example would be beasty that surrenered very early. i had a thought that might be super stupid but maybe could change the dynamic. what if the beat opponent isnt out of the match but instead becomes a vassal of the player that beat him. so instead of granting a player +50 pop cap the vassal has a set amount of pop cap (50 might be a bit low) and can assist his lord by providing army and has to give away a %age of his ressources to his lord. so for example a trader will spawn every x-minutes and carries 10% of the ressources to the lord. the trader can still be killed on its way to its destination and the army the vassal produces is still in controll of the vassal. and if the lord is the winner of the game the vassal would get a point as well. i dunno if it is even possible to mod this into the game or if this is even a good idea. but it is an idea nonetheless and i thought i would share it.
@@WillieFungo I wouldn't say that. Late game aoe4 is hard. You Beasty build wall frequently for example. In this game, ML built where where he needed them. The window for Viper to build wall isn't as wide as you make it out to be. You have to send a good number of vils to build wall in time -- so it's meaningful. But you also have to have units to guard them. When exactly did Viper have the down time to do that?
Viper had quality units I think, he could've just grinded ML on multiple fronts, taking out his trade and production. Also, the second Vortix saw ML heading for his king, he should've cancelled the keep and just build walls. xD
@@davidpereira5969 One common mistake most people make while assuming competitive results is that - most people compare end results based on mathematical factors. Sure, Abba with +100 pop for mil is strong. But what the same people fail to understand is that this is a multi-varied approach. There are a lot of factors to take into account, one of the most common is human error. ML wasn't going camels, he could've but he wasn't. When it came to fights, ML was losing, Viper had a chance with multi-pronged attacks had he taken 3-5 minutes to scout the enemy and make a strong FOB, instead of deleting vills. A strong economy is required to fund any conflict. A 1-time all-out Hail Mary was never going to work in this situation. He gave it away the second he thought he could.
@@proginger Have you been reading my responses? It clearly states mutliple factors and a timeline. Do you always quit your game the second someone builds a wonder?
Kindly don't put hint or text in thumbnail indicating who won the round, kya really kill and vibe of the stream , just a suggestion PS I love ur casting 👍👍👍👍

Nice to see Viper play some AoE4 ❤
Dang, wanted Viper to win. But those 150 French knights are looking unstoppable late game.
This is why they have Kings Spy, but no everyone konow kekw
That was a very entertaining game. The chat between players was epic XD ggs to all in the top 3! Super happy to see Kasva again as well.

Crazy game. Love this series and the pop increases on king kills. Makes it interesting
Omg this commentating is amazing!! Was completely enthralled once again.
He's a master with tonality.

All those horses in the blue mountains and not one man From snowy river reference 😂
Vortex doesn't know the king has ability to see other kings.. he thought marine had maphacks.
the king can do this?? i was scratching my head over this one. cause it happened not just once but twice
he was so dumb
Bingewatched the first season but this is even better!
Havnt seen the first one. This series first time on channel.
Knights are just soo population efficient it's actually crazy to look at
french knights*

best format best players best cast GOATED content
I love how you go into whisper mode haha
viper owes marinelord a beer for this one for sure!
One of the best Outback Octagon....enjoyed.....sad about the snake....the viper =)
why did Viper not convert Vortixs 100 knights at the end...
Viper could wololoed the French knights!
Would have been an epic move xD
how can i get into this tournament? Or is it already closed

I'm here for the Viper HYPE LFG
Marinelord trying to finesse that so hard. Everyone is basically even and he is calling for Viper to team with him. lol
which map is that and how do i get it?
Is there a website for the tournament?
The viper back?
Drongo thanks for your coaching on patreon ... I've improved so much in just 1 month of playing that I can last 1 hour against the AI on Hardest 🙏
does wololo allow you to go over pop limit? I wonder if viper could have gone around with his 5 relics and wololo'ed a bunch of extra units
Nop, units die
wololoed units die if you go over the 200 pop cap (and the outback outcagon mod doesn't change that limit for some reason, it happened last week)
Why The Viper did not converted the 150 french knights remaining ? It's not allowed ?
he just didnt think about it
That would have been epic!
lol honestly this was awesome to watch. the only silly part is that i don't think some of the players realized that the kings have an ability to "briefly locate" the other kings? probably should make sure everyone knows about that for next game?
Are the special awards(best snipe etc) weekly or at the end of the tourney?
What's with the difference in pop cap?

50 pop for each kill is too much. Maybe is better if they cut that number to half.
