The impressions killed me😂Almost felt like he was losing his damn mind

The white castle meme was spicy

Welcome brother! My first PC game that I ever played was AOE when I was 8. Fell in love, glad you get to feel the same thing!

Your 1st!? You better under 10 years old ;P Next up, Starcraft, Warcraft, Command and Conquer, Planetary Annihilation, They Are Billions, Supreme Commander, Majesty, Stronghold, Ashes of the Singularity, Myth, Age of Mythology, Kingdom, Grim Nights...

@@catbert7 I’m 16 lol. Always played fps shooters/survival games. I’ll check these out

@@andrewm8583 I wish you luck in your rehab ;D

Wow to relive me discovering RTS games. You're in for a treat. Some other suggestions Rise of Nations, and Act of Aggression, CnC Kanes Wrath

It also stops a reactionary surrender if your behind in ladder which is all too common in aoe2

I don't disagree, but there is some skill in it! If you watch tier-1 players in AOE2, they watch score bumps as a way of judging things like age-ups (small drop when upgrade starts). But yeah in general its just a low-skill scouting replacement.

Totally agree, score only stressed me out and was a big distraction, also felt quite gamey and cheap. Without it intelligence scouting and game sense is more important.

If score was in SC2, the legend and meme of IdrA insta resigning to Huk's hallucinations would have never been born

@@Payneonline You mean IdrA? That was indeed a legendary play written into the storied annals of SC2 early days lol.

Yeah, The country that invented gun and gunpowder finally got its gunpowder units LOL!

I love the Chinese in Rise of Nations with their Fire Lancers unique unit. You get them an age earlier than any other civilization and they are mechanically really unique and intense. I think a lot of games are scared to embrace the terror that chinese gunpowder brought to warfare.

New favorite show xD

Interestingly you've actually talked about a design philosophy that a lot of studios follow. Instead of nerfing what's strong, you buff what's weak. But honestly, we don't know the balance yet. Until people are used to the game and know all the tricks I don't think it's smart to nerf or buff anything.

Some devs needs to read this asap before ruining the balance

Don't hold your breath for that. Relic will give the same unit 3 significant nerfs in the same patch making it go from overpowered to unplayable overnight. Not only that they will be months behind the meta and put out nerfs for strategies that have ceased to be problematic long ago. I'm not trying to be a hater. In fact I love CoH and DoW. But the truth is the post launch support for all their games is basically non-existent. For AOE4 most balance patches will probably ship with DLC.

I can definitely say that some landmarks need to be changed because they're not effective. A few units like Landsknecht are too weak, but otherwise the factions are different, rather than better or worse.

​@@SendarSlayer That's pretty much what I'd like to see but especially in respect to what makes each civilization unique. For example, if Delhi Sultanate proves to be weaker as Drongo theorized in his tier list video, maybe give scholars the additional ability to each reduce research cost a bit (say like -1% for example which really stacks up by the end of the game). In that way, you make Delhi more viable while also emphasizing their unique playstyle! Just one example I thought of but I'm sure the concept could be applied to any civ the way they've designed them.

Yea look i dont play this game and these guys would beat me blindfolded. But the constant rally into those longbows was painfull to watch

Agree, even Palace Guards can't directly go to take down enemy archers, but they are so efficient in cost for how much damage they make and how tanky they are, while also not vulnerable to sniper's spear spam. Another thing is that Chinese archer is inferior to English longbowman, while at the same time costing Boit tons of wood, which is precious in making all his superior siege units, super great game regardless for both players

Boit is from AoM, where trading works essentially the same as in aoe 4, so that's not really what's going on

Boit wasn't buying cheap units. He was going full handcannons and knights for a good portion of the game, which are often unbeatable in large numbers. Yet he still lost to Sniper's trash

horses siege and archers vs horses siege and archers - with slight variances in stats. boring

Bro, gold is infinite when you're the English.

@@Adrian-mw7us trash? The Longbowmen are pretty good.

Bow chicka bow wow

@@heartsickruben I mean, we did get to see some nob on longboi action, especially near the end.

Odd that he was very successful with the first ones then seemed to forget about them,could have made all the difference.

English have an unique tech that generates gold from farms. Sniper had lots of farms

And it’s all you will need for a while to !! It’s a good game well worth the buy I’m aware of the cost but you will get your money’s worth going to war !
