Man, whoever helped you make this video is such a fine gentleman :^)

Legend beasty I think alot of us really needed this. The amount of random team mates I've seen not A moving and losing half their forces before even engaging is unreal.

THIS is the kinda begginner content needed. so many people focus on straight apm and crazy fast build orders, but all the underlying mechanics and know how like this are so important

I was losing SO MANY BATTLES and SO MANY GAMES even when I was far ahead in eco. This guide is exactly what I need!!! No more derp units

ive started playing this game 2 months ago. Also my first RTS ever. I started watching Beasty and I climbed from Bronze 3 to Gold 3 Currently on a 7 win streak. Thanx alot

Thank you so much Beasty. I just got back into AOE4 after it sat in my library for 2y. I have been taking a stab at actually learning proper RTS gameplay through your content. You are a great teacher, and you make learning fun and clear for me

the horsemen surrounding archers tips is very cool to me, it makes me realize why I like cavalry so much, considering I loved playing zerg in sc2

As someone who just recently has started to try and get into this game, thanks for this. That first tip about the A attack move blew my mind lol

Just a legend of the age community .. Been waiting for a video like this for a long time because I am new to RTS so much brilliant honest information . Thank you beasty legend bro X

Very important guide. Thank you! I was always struggling around with exactly the points you mentioned.

Thank you for the video! I'm really struggling with tactics and you simplified things for me .

I really needed this guide! Awesome work! thank you!

Thx really much for this, i hope to see more basics guide like this. You are good at explaining.

I am a fan since a year and finaly i get to understand the vills tp trick. Learned so much from that. Ty alot !

Made it to plat 2 on console with you and Aussiedrongo’s advice. Thanks man!

incredible guide. probably the best I've been able to use.

You blew my mind. Keep up the great work.

Thank you so much for this Video. I appreciate the effort 👍

Learned A move in Relic's CoH2, saved me in a lot of early noob matches in AoE4

Very useful information! Thanks!

This was awesome tutorial. Thanks man!!!

amazing lesson. thank you Beasty!

Greatest entertainer out there, thank you for all your hard work!

thank you , rich with good info

24:00 U can also do from options controls there's an option called: Stop looking for shelter or smth like that.. and u can just press that button instead of pressing on TC and C and they will ALL return to work, its the same as pressing TC+ C. I use it on "Home" button its not smth ur gonna use every 10 seconds and its easier to remember

i was waiting for this one thank alot .....

Tipps from a dented gold/plat player who uses most of those tipps: 1. If you build a tower on gold for example and you use G when the enemy units went past your tower and are now attacking your vills, it will make them go around those units into the tower which basically kills the villager twice as fast. So against melee threat build your tower BEHIND your vills. Definetly didn't lost a game like this today... 2. If you are playing china/green china and you play it save and build a village and a tower next to your 4 gold villagers, make sure to put the tower closer to the mining camp than the village. Otherwise the enemy samurai are going to burn down the tower unharmed while your zhuge nu are running across your base. I totally didn't made that mistake earlier this week... 3. Having all your units in a different control group is fine but don't just go through them, klick where you want your army to be and then go and do something in your base. Different units have different movespeed. If you don't anticipate your enemy moving his 15 horsemen to your base after he went imperial you will loose all your siege and look pretty dumb trying to punish his age up and probably definetly lose like I did. 5. Also don't forget to attack move all of your units before starting to micro your main unit. Nothing is more hilarious than you having the perfect comp, enganging in the right moment and then - while microing your archers - you watch as your spearmen stroll past the enemy horsemen which then kill all your archers...

Thank you, very helpful.

Yes! Very important lessons!

Iam new to this game and this is very useful to know. THANKS

Thank you very much Sir for your great explanation, we really just wanted to enjoy the game and your video helps a lot, Thank you very much,,,

Thanks for this. I’ll be rewatching this a lot… and I’ll make sure my son doesn’t watch it. I can’t let him beat me. 😂

Great! Thank you.

14:30 I have this terrible disease, thanks for the video!

Thanks man !

Perfect thanks Beasty

Game changer explanation as always

Yes macro. Excellent!

I’m pretty sure you can use the tc rally marker to tell villagers where to come out from garrison if they don’t have a task que’d

Amazing tips from Professor Beastyqt

Insane

Also a question regarding the “A” move. Why not “stop” and move while kiting with archers (for example), is there a delay in attacking when you press “S”?

Beesssssssst video ever helped a lot

AoE4 is such a fantastic game.

There is also a global hotkey you can set for "return all villagers to work". for instance, I use ctrl+shift+R and it returns all vills to work and I don't have to click my TC for it.

thank you Beastyqt

love you

What i struggle with in micro is trying to target spearmen with archer when the enemy has both spears and MAA. And tips on that ?

About the shelter. When do u use F 'Seek shelter' when you always have to press G? Just wondering what the reason to have it?

Ay nice

Yes we need micro, also we need how to select buildings and produce an army while we in fight .. pleeeeeaaaaaasssseeeee next video let it be about that 😡❤❤

The shift click option what is that converted to a controller?

waiting for the hotkeys video👍👍♥️

wow!

I think I can beat french with passive civ now thanks for G and C keys

What the hell was the intention of the Wedge formation?

How can I make troop lonely in a map to train my micro ?

What is a good way to train microing units, that is more efficient than playing many entire games?

Fuck yeah, hotkey hype!

Will this save me from mindless Japanese Samurai spams though? (I play China, so no feudal counters to it early).

Really new player. There are a lot of great tips I can’t wait to use them. However I must speak out about one thing and know it’s a game, not reality, a ship dodging missile fire by constantly doing 180s on a dime?!?!?!

How do you control 2 civilizations and make units instantly?

quick question: if I a move archers backwards will it auto shoot and scoot or did I still have to manually stop start stop start over and over and babysit it?

Can this be done on console as well?

I was microing while getting rammed, but lost all workers while trying :D

Hiho mr beasty, can we get a hotkey/keybind video?

How do you set up an A move with the controls? Do you guys always click in on the A button, then attack?

Ja, CA rettet sich meiner Ansicht nach mit folgenden Releases in folgender Reihenfolge: Medieval 3 Empire Total War 2 Total War WW2

how important is apm in AoE4? Anyone know? I never played but thinking of buying it.

Shoutout to all the warriors at twitch that made the subaton and all this content possible!

Great stuff! Basic question: What do I need to press to assign the hotkey "1,2" to a group of units. Maybe my settings are messed up... Thanks!

I can finally move up to pyrite rank

After more than a decade of playing RTS games with the attack move function, it still surprises me that many players don’t know that it is a thing.

👍👍👍

Something he didn't mention is how he makes his villagers build walls so cleanly. Whenever I do it, my villager starts on the second wall segment, finishes the entire wall and then walks all the way back to complete the first segment. Does anyone have an idea on how to fix that?

Who is that super Sayan, and what has he done with beastyqt?

🥇

Holy shit i have 160 h in this game half of those are ranked games. I am schocked how much of this was never 100% clear to me

Clap claaap

How to shift archer to not overkill?

How to put the numbers above every unit?

he calls mangos mangonels right?

The problem is how to correctly click on the spearman for target firing lol

Good evening early gamers, all around the world.

Fiend

Ngl this is so hard to implement on xbox

Why are you so smart? Is the green hair, isn't it?

I thought this was advanced micro tips. Not A move 😂

So funny how KZfaqrs do guides. They're all so anal about each minute detail but then glazes over how to face your units (which would be very helpful to know, especially when it comes to micro) and goes hold the left mouse button this way and that way 11:30 Flicking the mouse around the screen

Mongol

I'm a Xbox player.....rip

gaymers

I’m getting my ass kicked lately with “2ezy” need to get better 😕
