Drongo !!! I won one ranked game using this Build Order !! I know it doesn’t seem impressive, but I had to much anxiety playing ranked games… I need to perfect my timings and way to much more, but, anyways, I won! I’m thinking on buying your classes.
I think AOE4 has more diverse strategy options than AOE2DE. Some time ago I bored by applying the same build order in the first 5 minutes or so in AOE2. But with AOE4 you are more free and has many 'optimum' paths to develop.
BROOOO, I watched your video to half and I went into game and chose hardest dificulty and I crushed him in 15min completely (I started attacking him the moment he builded landmark and I was harasing his vilages and destroying baracks and houses and landmark, just sending troops there and literally not giving him chance to expand and he just lost all his resources on building landmark again and baracks xD) - I before never was able to defeat hardest :D thank you so much for your video - I like everything - subscribed long time ago
@@putbutterinspinach1109 that doesn't really work. I will have 25-30 archers and my opponent easily destroy my army with 7-8 MAA and a few archers. And imagine how quick English can age up.. I think a different approach is needed for each game.
Tried my first Skirmish a week ago (busy with events in several other games + real life, so very causal gamer), started it off with a simple English mirror with Easy AI......... .......I got DRushed before I had any military units out, was consistently 1-2 ages behind the AI the whole game, somehow won in the end. The "Easy AI" felt like "Moderate" or "Hard" AI in AoE3 and AoM... Time to go back to finishing the campaign...
I hate these guides that are nothing close to a guide. Why can't you just make it nice and slow so we can understand better? Instead of spamming your keyboard and mouse to tell your scout what to do? ... Why 5 on stone at the beginning for .5 seconds? What exactly did that do? You didn't even collect it.
I play the same strategy but I build a market instead and use the 3 free trades and this gives me a massive boost on gold early in the game which always means to advance faster while early attacking and harassing enemy villagers adding to that I build a tower next to his gold mines and to protect the troops and make it as a safe base to retreat to and then I build barracks etc
if the Ottoman archer spam with mehter is a thing why can't you do the same with delhi tower of victory? I mean what do the Ottoman's get over delhi eco wise or army wise? I don't see the military academy being that helpful early in the game which is basically where you want to do most of the damage and with delhi you can make a couple of extra scholars and literally cut your production time in half so isnt it better?
@@08vinster how many free units can you get from basically 3 military academies by minute 14-15 vs gold saved from having free upgrades and wood saved from having double production from your ranges and barracks as delhi
@@MrAtaguas I think the strategies would work quite similar. However, there are some differences. 1. Early disruption with Ottoman spears 2. Matching the production capacity of ottomans would still require 3 production buildings (2 archery ranges + stable) and 2 scholars. 3. Resource wise, 2 military schools costs 300w, 200s. However, 2 scholars would cost 300g without landmark (150 when using free scholar, which hurts research speed). Then you need to build a mosque for 100w. So you save 100 resources here (if not building a second blacksmith) I am a bit too lazy to count all research costs against free unit costs. Then again, you need to consider whether you build additional scholars to speed up research. 4. The movement speed bonus by mehter shouldn't be overseen. All in all, I would reckon that ottoman is a bit faster to pull off and a bit more stable across the maps. Also ottomans are more robust against counter units. Delhi could perform better on maps with easily reachable and defendable sacred sites and I would rate them stronger when transitioned into castle age
I would argue that is about how easy is to achieve it. With otto is extreme easy, the time you spend micro monks/mosques with Delhi you could use it to raid hard with mehter support. Also is more flexible and reliable. Is easier to obtain a balanced army with strong number of archers but enough cavalry and pikes to react to anything unexpected. Also, mehter bonus applies to everything, so you have speed and attack on your horses, that is invaluable when you face anything specially civs with maa in second age.
I’m in Bali and have downloaded about 10 of your vids for the flight home 🤣 My partner also says the “G’DAY FELLAS” is like an alarm clock because I watch them with a coffee in the morning!
@@arci1041english MAA rush in DA maybe English feudal to longbows is faster than this, costs less and pushes ranged units out faster. Im pretty new but i play eng, hre and ottos. Ottos have fun into english but not in the first 2 ages with this build order.
Drongo i play all times Ottoman but becaz i dont use your style so i dont build Army school,, it's a problem i do build archery and military it's failure what you think so ?
Nice video! But as usual I need to pause, play, pause, play over and over to see what buildings you are making. I would love for the beginner guides to say "Now I will build ****" instead of clicking the absolute fastest they can and not saying anything
This is anything but not a build order guide. All of it just happens way too quick, you shouldve slowly explained it all in a replay of this gameplay. I mean it works, but you would need to pause every second to properly understand what you did and what you want to do. Id rather just figure out my own playstyle than following a guide. Take this as feedback

if your opponent is RUS, there is no point to make spear in dark age cuz there is nothing to harass or rush unless your spear is to prevent RUS scout to collect deer ( professional scout)
Like he says, you can harass Rus stone as Rus will be getting that for TC usually. Also it never hurts to have those spearmen as Rus will likely get knights
Massed horsemen can beat this. And that's what I fear. So I keep my military schools on spears. Three Archery ranges and I have enough wood to even drop a stable or two and start adding some Sipahi. In that way, I get a mass of archers, spears and Sipahis powered by Mehter.
Was getting clapped by ottomans trying to use an English fast castle build. The O are way too strong in castle. I got sick of it and they can’t handle the feudal Ram rush at all. It’s the go to stray vs those tools.

i do this exact thing even before the video was released and i still get wrecked at 6-8 min by early men at arms
you can kite early man at arms with this ton of archers no?

Is easy AI is that Hard for you then yes, you neked to practice much more as easy ai barely does anything
easy ai will attack you with 4 spears and then do nothing... definitely need to put some hours in, keep it up
3:03 flying scout xD

5 stone is so you can get your military school out immediately, it’s a time based building lol the sooner the better. Gives you free units
Yeah it's really really bad. Basically I think we all get spoiled by the cleanliness and mathematical perfection of spirit of the law
I play the same strategy but I build a market instead and use the 3 free trades and this gives me a massive boost on gold early in the game which always means to advance faster while early attacking and harassing enemy villagers adding to that I build a tower next to his gold mines and to protect the troops and make it as a safe base to retreat to and then I build barracks etc
wait but hre just goes castle by 8 minutes and destroys me , even if i send spears at gold
What resolution you play this on? My townn center looks like 50% bigger lol

Hope u had fun
Against the English and Malians I find this hard to pull off.
Against Malians I get it, they literally have a counter to everything in feudal. But why English?
beacause long bow vs spearman bro
@@arci1041english MAA rush in DA maybe English feudal to longbows is faster than this, costs less and pushes ranged units out faster. Im pretty new but i play eng, hre and ottos.
Ottos have fun into english but not in the first 2 ages with this build order.
Too fast movement around the map drifting from the focus of build order. Personally I don't find it useful.
agreed

bro speaks in 4x speed XD
do one with hardest AI. Easy AI can be defeated mindlessly.
I wish aoe4 was more mainstream
Nice video!
But as usual I need to pause, play, pause, play over and over to see what buildings you are making. I would love for the beginner guides to say "Now I will build ****" instead of clicking the absolute fastest they can and not saying anything
Yeah but if you get heavily pushed early then your slow spearmen produktion wont help. I made this strat surrender in 8min
seems cool but you're talking sooooo fast !
helped me alot
How do you cancel seige units auto producing?
Is there any reason to stop auto-producing which gives you a disadvantage? I don't know if it is possible I am just curious.
Would you say the dark age school + barracks opening is viable or have you gone back on that one?
Even aoe3 guides where better❤😂
am i the only one who cant understand him and have to watch at 0.75 playback speed?
Playing againts easy is so easy. Try to win againts Hardest with Turks. Its really hard.
Ooo love to catch a new upload right away. Keep up the amazing content drongo :)
A.I easy?
What's the point of calling a game a strategy game if there's only one meta build order for each civ? This is an apm tester, not a strategy game. 😂
Easy ai with the counter lol
Happy Polish independence day(:
U too even though im not polish and 5 months late

you talking fast
The hundreds of clicks your making moving your units is makes no sense
I think against France would be better to go mass spahi and spearman instead of archers no?
I love this man's videos

This game is so unforgiving for noobs like me, you should make a guide for noobs. Shortcuts, micro and everything 😢

The strat is very good, but for new players you are explaning too fast and complex!
this is super lame

Like he says, you can harass Rus stone as Rus will be getting that for TC usually. Also it never hurts to have those spearmen as Rus will likely get knights
since the limiting factor is time you want to start massing free spears as early as possible.
Rus got age 2 knights, starting to build up spears is especially good against RUS and French so no worries there
You can kill dears with spears as well.
Love you videos, wololo
Massed horsemen can beat this. And that's what I fear. So I keep my military schools on spears. Three Archery ranges and I have enough wood to even drop a stable or two and start adding some Sipahi. In that way, I get a mass of archers, spears and Sipahis powered by Mehter.
