The kid’s videos are like watching Bob Ross, regardless of what’s going on you, you just feel calm and relaxed. Great content dude you’re vids have helped me a ton
Lol. Yes, just make your happy little TC. Do some happy little raiding. Kill villagers on berries or gold, it's up to you. This is your game, play it your way.
ive tried a few times now and i have a hard time getting enough food by 2:20. it always ends up taking me until 2:40-3:00 even when it feels like my micro was pretty much perfect
Can someone explain the matchup chart for me? Why are Order of the dragon and Japan in the 2tc fc line up? Aren't those factions that you want to pressure from the very beginning because they are weaker in feudal? At least peronally I want to deal with feudal Japan instead of CA Japan. Same with Order of the dragon before they a lot more units going.
Great video, possibly the best. I found it really helpful that you say what opening to use against each civ. I was surprised that you thought horticulture should come before wheelbarrow. I was also really surprised that you built a second scout from your TC. I get that it's faster than building 2 from the hunting cabin, but I'm surprised that getting that scout out faster is more valuable than an extra villager.
Thanks a bunch for this guide. My favorite civ is Rus but I couldn't really find any comprehensive builds that branch into multiple strategies and so I kind of felt lost doing anything other than my old 2TC build. The aggro variant seems very fun.
Great content! Tho I wonder will producing both the extra scouts from the cabin would be better? It seems not to worth it by calculation if compare 40+ res/min with the extra gold an early scouts would bring🤔🤔
I have recently switched to the rus a couple weeks ago and struggled to learn them. They are good at eco but not the best and same with aggression and also dont feel they have the "required unit" like other civs do during castle. My main philosophy was "I cant out eco the eco civs so I will all in them in fuedal." or "the tempo civs cant hurt me if I go eco" Im so thankful to see a build order break it down and explain it. Jack of all trades civ is rough when "fastest second tc, fastest castle, ect" doesnt work the same for Rus as it would for china/abbasid or HRE/OTD
It depends, because if you first instigate feudal aggro play, you do not have the Kremlin as French to just back out. I recommend playing only aggressive or aggresive/trade with french
I love your videos, and you are very articulate in explaining these ideas, but would you please release videos in real time. It would make it so much easier to follow along as I practice against the AI. Thanks a lot for the content. (what I mean to say is that pausing and speeding up the game makes it hard to follow along as I'm trying to rehearse the build in real game time while watching and following along with the video).
@@MusicIsTheJoyOfLife I pause to talk, so that I can say what I need to say without rushing it. If you want tailored guides for your own practice, then I suggest coaching as it is easier to match your learning style.
Awesome video, thanks! And great timing as I've been learning Rus :) I typically play 2v2, and feel like 2TC - FC leaves me with too little military for too long (they can easily gang up on my teammate who doesn't have Kremlin). I'd think 2TC aggro could be ideal in many situations, or would you have another suggestion?
this is so good for new players like myself. I was overwelmed by the amount of information that this game requires one to know before going online matches and being crushed. Anyway thanks a bunch for all your guides!
In the 1TC Aggro build, when do you want to add additional Archery Ranges or Stables? I couldn't really tell from the replay since you didn't view your own base towards the end of the match
I love your guides! Initially, I was watching Beasty's content, but I believe your guides are more suited for players like me at the Conqueror 1 level. I'm not sure what it is, but I just enjoy them more. Keep up the great work!
im not gonna lie i feel overloaded when I hear tc or fast castle but you make it sound really easy tbh. I am still incredibly new to aoe4 and the rus honestly looked the most fun for me so this guide really explains to me how they are played effectively. I gotta say, thank you for making this video and I hope I can finally win a game without my friend having to carry me as usual lol
Kinda off topic regarding this video but what in your opinion is the best civ to end games quickly? I hate long games and drawn out battles….I much prefer early aggression and to end games in 25 mins or less.
@@greeneyesfromohio4103 thats the whole point of the civ. Print units, apply pressure, take sacred sites. You will always have more than them and you put them on a timer at the same time
@@moonboy2k185 - Thanks first off for helping. Appreciate that. I’ve read up on the Delhi’s civilization bonuses and strengths…is the reason they are a good civ for early aggression and to end games quickly is because they can garrison Scholars in military buildings and pump them out quicker as well as the Tower of victory landmark giving all infantry 20% attack speed? Am I understanding that correctly? Sorry for being a newb.
@@greeneyesfromohio4103 yes, since you need 0 vills on gold and all the upgrades are for free you can use your entire economy for making army at double speeds and infantry get 20% attack speed which is crazy.
I've been getting Wheelbarrow during Dark Aage when I know that I can secure that 250, when I go into 3 knights and 2nd TC. So ditch Wheelbarrow for later?
You need the 2nd scout faster to cover both sides of the opponent’s base as deer spawn only on one side at times and that can result in very low bounty
IMO aoe2 is more stable rockvpapervscissors without the feudal knights. Aoe4 feudal knights are too OP from a logistics standpoint. Gets worse in teams

thats true

Haha I have the same struggle. I just dont get to manage the timing and so stable/house is impossible for me…

I can't understand it, either, as far as I understand, Rus always wants your opponents to stay in feudal because they have knights
I'm also curious about the matchups. Like why 1 TC FC against JD?
Thanks a bunch for the content. Keep it up
Really appreciate it! Thank you!

Been doing these exact builds for a while, both variations. It feels great to have knights out before a second tc.
love this video it has literally anything! thanks for your great content as always valdemar! please make more of this soon
I just finished watching your old rus video and you just published this. Perfect timing
Any tip on team games as Rus? 1 tc agression or 2tc agression to give team mates time to grow?
Not sure why but I can't hit the age up until like 2:45-3:00, maybe I'm pulling vills off too early to match the 2:15 time
yea i tried a few times this strat too, and was never able to start ageup before 3min

I was looking for rus videos nice timing :D
Could you do an example of fighting the ayubids and mongols. How do you fight them when they rebuff cavalry? What units do you use?
Great content! Tho I wonder will producing both the extra scouts from the cabin would be better? It seems not to worth it by calculation if compare 40+ res/min with the extra gold an early scouts would bring🤔🤔
Awesome as usual. Why 1tc FC vs english and JD?
Abbey of kings 2tc is very popular right now, and 1tc fc relics into knight archer siege is the fastest way to win against it.
@@Valdemar1902 Nice one cheers for the reply
@@Valdemar1902what about JD?
I've been playing this build since the video came out! Love it!
Could you make them a new build order after the bounty rework they said they’re going to make?
I have recently switched to the rus a couple weeks ago and struggled to learn them. They are good at eco but not the best and same with aggression and also dont feel they have the "required unit" like other civs do during castle.

whats the kremlin for? All I saw was a scout unit capability?
Amazing content as always. Thanks so much, Valdemar!
what a great build order to return to the game to
Can I do pretty much the same style with French? I like the idea of starting aggressive with some knights and deciding where to go from there
It depends, because if you first instigate feudal aggro play, you do not have the Kremlin as French to just back out.
I recommend playing only aggressive or aggresive/trade with french

Very useful guide, thanks!
Love playing as Rus and love playing aggression! Thanks for the awesome guide!
Great video, will try this on intermediate bot
I've been getting Wheelbarrow during Dark Aage when I know that I can secure that 250, when I go into 3 knights and 2nd TC.
So ditch Wheelbarrow for later?
It is rare that I can get a couple knights out AND wheelbarrow, but if you have free bounty you can do whatever you want with it :)
Why 2nd scout from TC? Save time from hunting camp build?
You need the 2nd scout faster to cover both sides of the opponent’s base as deer spawn only on one side at times and that can result in very low bounty
Thank you, great guide as usual
How did he target all the deer so fast at 2:08? Did he just click all of the super fast or is there some keybind?
He didn't, it's a replay.
He selected the scout and it showed where the scout was already queued to go.
thx =) could u make a japonese BO guides ? thx =)
I will make guides for Japanese in the new season :)
Thank you!
Sup brother can you please make a China build guide? I would love to see that
It’s high on the list of guides I want to do! There is also an older one you can check out - it is still viable :)
@@Valdemar1902super excited for that man
great video
Excellent
Why not make the two scouts from hunting cabin?
It’s too slow
@Valdemar1902 got it. I'm curious if same logic applies in team games where bounty is more abundant, though.
Wp
nice
How do I message you for coaching I added you on discord
I just added in all new coachees. You should have received a message
2 scouts okay … but 3 ? Nahhh. I am good 😂
you don't have to do 3, but you'll often be short on gold and age up too late/over-gather food/have to mine gold to make knight if you do 2
IMO aoe2 is more stable rockvpapervscissors without the feudal knights. Aoe4 feudal knights are too OP from a logistics standpoint. Gets worse in teams
