Age Of Empires IV: Delhi Team Ranked Coaching

TURN VOLUME UP
Coaching focused on villager idle time and macro
Key Takeaways:
Player would improve gameplay and perform much better if player works on the following:
1. Pay Close Attention to Idle Villager Button. As soon as this button lights up, we fix idle villages
2. Pay Close Attention to where TC is rallied (should always be rallied to a resource)
3. Shift Que villagers who are building a building, back to a resource
4. Has a goal on mind of why certain resources are being gathered. If we are stockpiling wood, what do we want to use this for? If no goal, go gather food to make more Ghazis or go Castle (In this case). Focus on Macro of resources. What resources do you want to gather, when, and why.
5. Less idle time, means more efficient eco, means MORE units

Hey, thank you very much. I appreciate it a lot that you take your time to watch my game.
You identified a lot pretty well. I try to react on some aspects you mention.
- There are a lot missclicks, in particular the tc rally point. It happens in almost every game. Mostly later in the game, sometimes earlier, obviously.
- Resource management is a big point, true. I forget to make production. I often have too many resources of one kind.
- Didn't expect so many early idle vills actually. Mostly I have them later in the game. And then a lot. That was my main point when I made the Reddit post :) Any further ideas how to train this? I am the one with the highest villager idle time in every game. And I know it is pure resources I waste. And I don't know what to do about it. Maybe I just can't do anything about it. I have no clue...

No problem! Happy to help!
I think you will need to be very conscious of the idle villager button when playing. Generally watching it (just like how you'd build villagers every 20 sec). Funny buy you could also just put a sticky note at top or bottom of your monitor to tell you to check for idles LOL. if that works for you.
For resources deposits (food, gold, wood, stone), you should generally try to check these every once and a while when playing. every 2 min is probably fine. If they are low, you can always shift click your villagers to the next one, then when they finish that deposit they will move without becoming idle. Gold is the best example of that
