Been watching this format for years in games like Starcraft and AoE, finally decided to actually self-cast a replay.
Absolutely, this was fun and I already have a couple other crazy replays I can cast.
I used to be big into StarCraft 2, making content for it until that game started to die. Lots of that community are popping back up in AoE 4
Clean and well-paced.
I haven't played 4 yet, but I'm guessing that strat works best on opponents who like to boom?
Thank you!!!!
Yes it will be harder if they're doing something like an English Longbow rush, or a Knight rush. You have to really crawl with your towers at that point. When you drop the first tower and they've got like 5 spearmen, it's usually smooth sailing. If they're rushing, they'll probably win as long as they have good micro and can remain calm.
Luckily they can't really harass your base too hard. All your guys are on stone, so you can drop one of these towers right there, And you can keep your sheep by the Town Center in case they push your 1-2 villagers who are on the mill.
And is it specific to Chinese?
I suspect there might be a trend of early rushing any Chinese opponent, sort of like how in AOE2 you want to keep a Persian opponent well scouted early on.
Yes it's better as Chinese, because they build walls (and towers I think) faster. You're right that Chinese does have a very strong late game so you should attack them in the early-mid game. This hits a bit earlier though.
Ahhh I wanna try 4 but I don't think it works on Proton on Intel graphics yet
AoE 2 has an hd re-release in the last couple years and it should still have a good number of players. There are quite a few new civs as well, and balance updates. You should see if that runs. AoE 4 is very similar to 2- much closer than AoE 3 was.
Played lots of 2 back in the day. I could probably get it working but I play 3 most regularly nowadays.
good cast.
I've been loving china in aoe4, never tried to tower rush though. Love palace guards + nest of bees.
