8:53 I feel like a good reference for not building a wall would be Raegan's "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!"

22:32 As a Dutchman, I can confirm there is now a keep in front of my house.

This was a really fun match to watch, definitely shows the true potential of the Japanese. With almost half the resource as income they still managed to hold the line and even push through. GG

@8:50 what you're looking for is Reagan, who famously said "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall" in reference to the Berlin Wall in a 1987 speech

18:47 Man I would quit my work if there is such a crazy guy with this hand canonneer voice

thank you for another great cast

I think it was a good idea from Dyukusi to mix in the hand cannons along with the Ozutsu. The durability, extra range and building damage versus the faster firing rate mean they both have their merits

One of the most exiting games I've seen since Outback Octagon!

"The byzantines suck" Always makes me happy when video games strive for historical accuracy.

attritional battle at his best 😂

Heard it mentioned a few times, would love to see a Japan 3tc build order, just started playing around with it but haven’t found the one.

You are the best Drongo !

Love me some Drongo, and the Bernie comment. Yes!

We need more games like this !! This was so was so much fun to watch, the English were very good, they held a long time against the best civilization in the game (japanese), i think the tables would have turned if the English player got the upgrade for the Longbows and Crossbows

now THAT'S a title! I don't know who's going to win! A win

ozutsu feels like overkill more than normal cannoners, and i think they gonna do them dirty like catapults, making them more of a infantery-siegue unit,

18:43 LOL

I’ve been maining Japanese (not at this level but all the same) and my go-to for the first two Yorishiro is always one to the barracks and one to the forge. I always have great food economy but need that bit of gold and then I pump units. Admittedly though, I’m usually pumping units in Feudal and aiming to end the game shortly after the Castle Age production boost takes effect - I hate late game battles a lot. Makes sense to me that if they’re rushing imperial he’ll want to have a unit production advantage, and 4 minutes can be a long time to wait for the third Yorishiro to get that advantage. Regardless of that - I noticed from day 1 that the Japanese has the potential to hold the line with a lesser economy in a way that no civ can. Although just in gold where people make constant mistakes, I am only scared to go 1tc against a 2tc opponent if they’re one of the civs which spam hard.

" BOOM BOOM BOOM LIKE THE VENGABOYS" I tellin' ya, I'm dying over here/

The handcannoner sounds more Majima from the Yakuza series, a little more aloof but still very lethal

i feel like if u want aoe - getting a rebuldiquin is better than the orsitzu, however the anti building is nice for clearing light buildings i guess

I wonder why Cat didn't send out a few springs to take care of the rams.

the food income drop for english would have added up to about 90 man at arms

I don't no why but I feel like the HRE Man-at-arms would absoloutly destroy the Japanese Samurai because they have these heavy Maces.... Or are the Samurai not a heavy Infantry unit?

Cool matchup. I didn't expect infantry to be the meat of the battle, so it's definitely changing how I view Japanese! What do you think about the banner units? Which one are more important? Does it only depend on your counters or is a specific mix giving better buffs or something?

Great game

Watching dozens of remote controlled rams moving that fast is kind of silly.

Ronald Reagan: "Mr. Gorbachev tear down this wall!"

Oh yeah

is there a reason why japanese dont get melee attack upgrades? ive seen it being completely ignored now in a few games, but isnt it great for the samurai?

What makes Japan so good is def their adaptability

Ozutsu or hand cannon? I’m going for OUTBACK OCTAGON 3 !🤩

Great cast! I’m curious though. Even with the rams. Would Japan have won this with their recent nerf? The forge income wouldn’t be as high, ozutsu wouldn’t have ate through that keep as quickly. The English was looking good. I’m wondering if the tables would be different now.

Ronald Reagen, "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!"

when will the outback octagon season 3 will be coming, I am desperately waiting

Sometimes I make handcannonners just for the voice lines.

20:20 cat Just delete a tower for nothing? Oh god

Japanese feels like a better English. Both are super defensive, but Japan actually get somewhere by defending.

Is it possible Cat clicked chemistry trying to go for incendiary arrows?

Ronald Reagan “Tear down this wall!”

Into the Netherlands bro??

epic

researching biology with no cavalry...

Depois de assistir vários jogos, está claro que os japoneses são quebrados (After watching several games, it's clear that the Japanese are broken) - Great work, cheers from Brasil

IRL English Men at Arms would absolutely dominate Japanese Samurai, there wouldn't even be a contest

Rams feel kinda broken, ngl

More English vs Japanese please

Are battering rams OP?

Just put a floating gate relic in your two TCs 🤷‍♂️

Ronald Reagan " Mr. Gorbachov tear down that wall"

def not handcans

I still think Rams are too tanky, he has what? a couple dozen of imperial units over them and they just tank it. They are supposed to eat arrow fire like breakfast but not melee. And these were not wandering towns upgraded rams

A frozen joke? lol

Drongo during absolute insanity of Zhuge Nu: Perfectly Balanced Drongo as soon as any other units/civs dominates: This unit/civ needs nerf. Love the vids tho 😂. just let us enjoy the Japanese in peace would ya

I don't own the game, I don't play the game, I sometimes barely understand the certain situations that occur... And still this amazing caster keeps me entertained throughout the whole session!

When you mention Balance and anyone wants to say that the Order of the Dragon units are balanced for their health, damage and pop space. Japanese Samurai do 3 less damage the Order of the Dragon MAA. You get twice the damage, twice the armor faster production with the Japanese compared to the Order of the dragon. Going by amount of resources the units take to make vs what you get for those resources. Japanese is a beast and arguable broken as none of that civ is balanced for anything. And you see this in everything the Dev team does. Then will Nerf the living hell out of one civ in the name of balance, then make everything with another civ so broken there isn't enough brain cells to comprehend how bad that did with that civ.

why do japan and china get like 10 unique units and every other civ gets like 2

Mongolians are pretty against wall building.. just ask southpark

7:24 Isn't that how what's his name got caught cheating? But then was let off. You could find out where enemy bases were by trying to lay down walls. Just saying.

I knew broken Japanese would win no matter what

I would like Samurai Nerf Armor since they don't carry shield as most MAA

swap to income per minute

The Japanese player did not even get wheel barrel or any of his eco upgrades for wood and gold. That should explain some of the differences

ozutsu are really bad actually. fire rate is the most important thing in units, is like they do half the damage handcannoniers do. Also you need a lot of them if you want to destroy keeps, and a single bombard is better, faster to make and it cost less in terms of space and res. I don't know why you think ozutsu need a nerf..

Early 😮‍💨

English doesn't have a chance over Japanese

The new civ are to strong, japan with the Bannerarmy... no chance for the english guys. Its not good balanced

No eco upgrades japan versus all eco upgrades english.

Trump is the perfect example for not bulding a wall lol, he built a few dozen miles and fixed up some fencing and just completely failed to build a wall at all

Japan needs nerf when people get used to playing it.

English are definitely not the best late civ 😅 Japanese are way better in late game if u ain't noob

English gets 4 relics, fights under network of castles and a f-ing Berkshire for 10 min, and still loses…. Even with a much bigger eco… It’s so ridiculously outbalanced pls nerf these new civs

these drawn imperial fights are so boring to sit through .. the sacred site timer was the only exciting thing in this climax lacking game. And I mean AOE4 as a whole not just this game. No clear climax to hope for .. maybe the sacred sites timer should not reset when you lose one site or something .. you're just watching unit printing run into each other for a very long time which is really a shame because when the game finally is over, all you think of is "thank god its over"

um.. biden stopped the wall bro. so answer is biden

Japan shouldn't even get handcannoneers AND Ozutsu. The faction has too many units.

"Battle of the best lategame civs". I don't see Zhu Xis Legacy here? English most certainly had a Siege Workshop but as always Aussie_Drongo is blind. Also, what we can conclude then is that even with a bigger economy the English lose to Japanese in the late game. Great balance. Not.

Burnie ? Wsnt hé a communist or something like that 🤣 sounds alway good but if push come to shove it will destroy the economy or worse
