Fitz is really not an aoe3 pro unfortunately. Anyone who knows the aoe3 scene knows Fitz can't compete at the top level (against H, Kaiser, Knush, etc.)
@@kylemagnuson9976 With that logic, there are no AOE2 pros either. And to be fair, that is completely accurate, as I'm pretty sure no one can make a living playing AOE games professionally. Can you even make a single dollar playing this? RTS games are dead for a reason, they are pretty bad, and AOE is barely surviving off of pure nostalgia alone.
you are right. I have 150 hours in beta and tech stress and it's hard to watch some of the aoe 4 videos on youtube. Peopel dying to horse archers instead of making an ouptost and putting their villagers in, or french massing archers and not making any cav at all lol It was painful to watch 17 hours and I will be playing. YAY!
An early lead against the Viper almost always doesn't mean anything unless you finish him off lol. The Viper usually plays a more macro heavy style with great crisis management and then uses his mid- to late-game advantage to finish you off.
As he is getting use to the game and understanding the mechanics, he is becoming more and more boss. Love it. But he will go back to focusing on AOE II soon to get ready for the tourney.
Was watching AoE2 Pro Player Tournaments. Viper was fighting another guy. They were figting 2 battles at the same time, while managing the economy and raiding. People from AoE2 are really maxing it out.
I am loving how fast your channel is growing now, absolutely beautiful. Deserved too, you have been putting out reliable high quality content for a while now. Great to see a creator from across the ditch finding success
Yeah early one which is about 2-4 units harrass all day, i mean its most likely a ton harder than it looks - usualy is. But when i watch SC2 matches the level of reaction and counter speed is just bananas compared to me, i might be wrong this might require even faster reactions in early game. Again Viper is just a very very competent player with great awareness and feel for how things turn out in almost every situation. Its early days of AoE 4, theres room for more unit types, sidegrades.
The amount of effort you put to cast the game is just unreal. It's you who makes the game feel way from engaging and entertaining. Keep up the good work
Very entertaining match. I watched some multiplayer matches and thought it looks a bit boring, but seems like on a higher level it has that pace I missed.
I love the way you say Hp. You say the letter name and the sound that it makes at the same time. All English speaking people could learn so much from au
Yeah, Rus can counter due to having knights that are just as good. So losing those knights as France in this match up is even worse since you literally can’t recover. Against any other civ Fitz could’ve gotten back in since it probably would’ve been only horsemen or spears which aren’t as hard hitting in counter offensives.
Were slowly coming to realise TheViper can't be stopped at some point. In AoE 2, AND in AoE 4, he already knows 80% of the game, and dominates everyone on his path. His APM is just really out of this world, and it pays off in so many ways:)
I have found you! and you seem to be the current best AOE4 caster and you bring a nice insight being a player yourself and also you know the AOE3 community| I do not watch AOE3 at all but it is so satisfying to see AOE2 and AOE3 merge here! Keep it up!!!
Brilliant game. Viper vs Fitzbro is lopsided but great to see how long it went on! I'll be curious to see how Viper will do against a truly top tier AoE3 player.
Well, believe it or not, the AOE2 players do wall awfully lot as well. I think the only reason why they are not walling as much in AOE4 was because Feudal Age units in AOE4 actually pack quite high firepower unlike in AOE2 and also early walling feels a lot harder so they're better of investing in units. Also, once again, lovely casting. If there's one thing I'd like to add, I'd love to see Viper's base, specifically his production facilities because I think that'd help explain why he had so few units in that last fight. But it's perfectly fine rofl; I mean all the actions in the last half of the game happened on Fitz's side of the map. Perhaps a replay of this game but focus specifically on Viper's boom may help.
Age 2 syndrome is something i'm noticing in a lot of players. they attempt to win by massing in age 2 but tend to fall behind when the enemy is able to age up ahead of them, in this case it was over the minute viper hit 4 while fitz was still in 2.
@@alarminglyfastmovingskelet7289 you think this is just a matter of their Nomadic style and reliance on the Ovoo? How strong are Ovoo boosted Upgrades?
@@MrMac1219 Honestly don't have enough experience with the upgraded Ovoo to give insight on that. But as far as their matchups go I'm not sure it's because of the Nomadic playstyle but more so what they have to give up in return for that playstyle if that makes sense. They pretty much forfeit any real naval presence which makes their matchup against France on naval maps so bad that you might as well just resign when the game starts.
Mongols are highly offensive-type civilization, so expect enemies to have Mongols countered even at their earliest ages (to end the game quickly, because the more resources Mongols loot the more they get even stronger. They're overpowering in the late stages because of that-except probably on a turtling civ like HRE.)
Those who are thinking The Viper was losing at the beginning sorry to inform you that its his play style. He is the best player under attack multitasking. He is not an aggressive player.
Okay the follow units mechanic looks really cool. They need to buff up some observer stuff and this would be really fun to watch. Edit: it's already really fun, but can be more pretty easily.
can someone answer this question i have. assuming no siege is available only the 3 fundamental units of spear archer and horse. If a player has a well balanced army consisting of 1 third archers 1 third horse and 1 third spear, what is the counter to this assuming you spend equal resource values. my hunch is 2 thirds archer and 1 third spear but im not exactly sure.
The person with 3 types of units will have to spend resources upgrading another tree. That means equal resources will lead to the player with two typed of units outnumbering the player with 3. So I'd go with higher tier archers 2/3 and horse 1/3. If you restrict to same upgrade level you will misrepresent the actual state of the game because that situation shouldn't arise
@@moomoocow526 thank you for the reply. I fully understand what you're saying but just to be SUPER picky and assume it's just a simple game of rock paper scissors 3 people vs 3 people and you have intel that the enemy team will throw rock paper scissors at you... you'd counter that by throwing rock scissors scissors correct?
why do the game graphics look so much better than when i play? i have everything set to highest possible setting with a 3070, surely i dont need a freakin 3090 to look like that
the reason viper is so good here is he a pro on aoe2.I think aoe4 is easier. (no micro vills as much) etc. and it is a better transistion for aoe2 players/ just a few new things to get used to. aoe3. you have to build more stuff as you only get 1 unit per turn instead of multiple. etc
Can you tell me what is the price of AoE IV preorder in your Steam? Mine is this when converted to USD. 24 USD 32 USD (Deluxe Edition) Should I take it now or wait for sale? I do own the 3 other games so I don't know if it's because of that.
In Indonesia, the deluxe one is priced around $23 - $24 while the standard one is around $17 or so when it converted from the native currency. Buying the anthology/ owning the other would discount it more than that.
The map seed this game was really bad for the viper so all he more impressive gameplay from him . This map design tho looks so nice however I would like to see no natural crossings to emphasize the bridges.

Come say G'day!
am I dumb or did you commented your video 3 days befor it came out?
@@Darudas0420 He uploaded the video a few days ago (when he made the comment), but didn't publish it until now. Or so I think..
Seeing pro AOE2 players vs pro AOE3 players on AOE4 is weirdly satisfying to see
Fitz is really not an aoe3 pro unfortunately. Anyone who knows the aoe3 scene knows Fitz can't compete at the top level (against H, Kaiser, Knush, etc.)
As a player, who has played all of those games, it doesnt seem like a fair matchup to me. Imo AOE 4 is much more similar to AOE 2, rather than AOE 3.
there is no such thing as an aoe3 pro. the game has no community, and all good RTS players chose better games.
@@kylemagnuson9976 i believe the best players in aoe3 play in a very high lvl.. believe they are pro.. Mitoe are now top 7 aoe4 he one of the pros

I really love the wall combat so far in age4. It makes walls seems a lot more meaningful
They feel like the walls in Stronghold. Which is a good thing to me.
@@gwanael34 good thing is you can poop off the top count the seconds until it hits the ground and calculate how high the wall is .
I really enjoy viper in aoe4 so please stalk him further
Me too, he is posting AoE4 in his RUclips channel as well..
Did you see that one of Viper's videos is him losing to his stalker?
@@ObiwanNekody yes! Viper's silence when he gets mass-converted omg ahaha
Great cast. Amused by early call that "fitz is taking viper to school" when he's doing no damage and losing royal knights like crazy tho lol.
14:56 Sound stopped because you were viewing Viper perspective and he doesn't get sound from areas he can't see any longer.
Ohhhh that's right. Good catch!
You know when someone goes imperial and your in feudal your kinda fucked.
I think is too early for any pro to establish his "true level"

Yea... but Viper is world class in AOE2. It's not like the background isn't there.

The game is so close I can almost taste it, I'll be trying to ladder for the first time with this game, wish me luck!
Go get them bro💪
Same here. Good luck
likewise! Meet you in some low elo legends video!
Thank you for your videos Aussie. Love the 4k 60 fps. Many creators only have 1080. Thank you so much. only 17 hours left almost!
Vipers ability to fight and build economy and age up all at the same time payed off as it usually does. Cool game WP by both players really.
I totally believe that viper has been playing since before he could walk

Not quite as quick but French Knight rush is basicly a Protoss Zealot rush in terms of risk and resource sink.

16:08 a villager is questioning her existance
game ended at 16:00. threw away all his knights and the viper boom never stopped
Great game.. Probs to Fitzbro for his performance
This is the first video I've seen of your content, your casting is excellent.
12:20 - the game was lost here. Losing these knights also meant losing all the initiative II age France has.
Yeah, Rus can counter due to having knights that are just as good. So losing those knights as France in this match up is even worse since you literally can’t recover. Against any other civ Fitz could’ve gotten back in since it probably would’ve been only horsemen or spears which aren’t as hard hitting in counter offensives.

"Joust" 👎
Lance 👍
Lmao. When Fitzbro sent his archers on the wall they ran the length of the wall getting peppered by Vipers archers

Mr.Drongo's casting is the best as far as I 've heard in AOE4.
Cracking commentary, keep it up
What a nice game. Fair play to fitzbro, the guy is a total beast!
As soon as I saw it was TheViper. I knew it was gonna be good! Flexing on AOE4

So nice to have a solid RTS to play again. Been a minute since StarCraft.
Your commentary is very nice. Earned yourself a new sub.
16:06 that female villager: "this is fine!"
9:22 unf that joust!
Good to see how much Fitzbro has improved.
I dont know how i came across this channel but im loving it and i hope you pop off
These videos remind me of BBQ turkman casting viper arabia hun wars
watch this again and take a shot everytime he says "I tell you what"
9:10 don't forget Fitzbro, Aussie :D
29:20 HELM'S DEEP
Gg awesome casting! Best caster of aoe4!
Brilliant game. Viper vs Fitzbro is lopsided but great to see how long it went on!
I'll be curious to see how Viper will do against a truly top tier AoE3 player.
you narrate like a beast
Bridge destruction would add a cool element to the game

anybody been playing the mongols? Really wanna see what they look like at a high play level.
They're good but they can potentially be countered pretty hard. Like to the point where in some match ups you'll lose at the civ select screen.

Hey Drongo! Loving the content. What is that pull trick Viper does at 11:30 and how do you do it?
VIPER is the Jordan of AOE
That was the most entertaining game so far great commentary by the way !! 🤩
Viper sweeping the floor with others as always.
Age 4 are so nice to watch
They make it look so easy. They make you in the mood to play the game so much.
Meanwhile...
I'm in Era I with 22,000 food and one archer.
The game graphic is based on AOE3 but the strategy is massively inspired by AOE2.
AOE2 pros will have an edge at the beginning, definetly.
I had a very detailed dream that the Japanese were one of the Civs in Age of Empires IV and now I'm a little disappointed 😞
Do competitive players do well with factions like the dehli sultanate and the mongols? seems like everyone favours French, Rus or Abbasid
What a crazy game Love it 🔥👌
I don’t consider myself a pro, but even I know staying on the second age that long is certain doom.
What a gameeeee!
I cant wait to see some age of empires 4 tourniments. this games seems to be quicker. the aoe2 some of the games are over 1hour
The pitter-patter sound at 24:24 is not realistic, for how do they make that sound without coconuts? Got to make coconut-clapper infantry for it.
Lord Daut vs soldieR we NEED it
Bitey Infantry 🤣
LOL viper ! love the intro for 2 players btw whats their civ?
i hope it will be great if u can tell us more about these civ
I really thought fitz had it, but viper seems to play best under pressure.
gotta love my CHEVALIEEEE
the one theonly the vipaaaaaaaaaaaaaah
What´s the name of the song at the end?
Interesting gameplay compared to back then AOE2
Self healing knights are just ridiculous.

Pre-loaded. Waiting for release :)

Will you also show us casted games of Mista?
Commenting for the algorithm :)
lancers have the lance. lance does 43 damage and then regenerates. i guess some knights dont have lance?
I just saw a video from the viper where he fought against someone with your name, where you the one there and will you put a video of that game if so?
someone minds explaining the "pull trick" for me please?
You have nice presentation skills
I still don't understand how Mongol age 2 lancers were removed, but Rus and France both have age 2 knights?
One word for you. Ovoo. Imagine a civ being able to generate 2 lancer for every 1 knight u produce. Yup. Bingo.
what is viper's civ?
