Age of Empires IV: Gold II Mongol Coaching

Key Takeaways and Strategy:
Vid 1 Versus English:
1. Critical mistake to not make archers versus spears. Use archers to kill spears, keshiks to clean up longbows
2. I know you were trying to FC, but you still have to make sure you make units to survive :) You floated a lot of resources you could have used to beat your opponents army because you were saving it for castle. If you are under intense pressure, just make units to survive.
3. When using villagers, shift que to a resource after making ger. Vills were idle on boar for a long time.
Vid 2 Versus Mongol: (Good Game overall)
1. Tower rush? Don't have to, but would deny HRE gold.
2. Hit flanks with units to deny HRE food, once they have gone through initial sheep. You did a decent job with this, but continue to scout and attack HRE food or leave units at those resources to deny them.
3. If you hit castle, ideally get down a prayer tent and try to steal some of the relics from HRE

Hey Clumsy Goldfish!
It's the no monitor guy :)
Great video!
Thanks for the tips! I absolutely wanted to go Castle in the game vs english and definitely forced that idea which turned out to be my downfall, well that and not making archers. I don't know what my thinking was going for a barracks, probably hoping i could reach castle somehow and create maa.
I definitely need to work on the start. The reason i start on a straggler tree is from a Valdemar tower rush build order guide. But I never actually tower rush. I just want to get the wood for a stable as soon as I age up. I also realise I often build a barracks without actually using it immediately. So will definitely look into denying gold, especially to an HRE player.
Do you also have any tips for determining when to push and when not to? I never thought I could take the HRE player after I won that first battle. Thinking my maa weren't strong enough. Looking at the endgame stats I gave him a lot of time to create his army again while I wasn't creating as many military. Which could've cost me the game if I waited too long.
Again, Thanks for the video and the helpful tips!
