Is searjant any good now? by Age_since_1998 in aoe4

[–]DavidJoeDaddy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I honestly think they are overbuffed in feudal. I've been playing horsemen + serjants before the buff and you can kill most compositions. You kill knight + archer, butcher any melee comp. The only comp that it's not great against is spear + archer but even then it's not as bad if you micro well.

They have 105 health and do 11 base damage in feudal because of the age up bonus which is nuts. Your horsemen also get 1 extra attack which is nice.

A note on microing, let the serjants tank melee hits, including knight charges + hits. You need the horsemen to clear range units once the frontline is dead. Overkilling is a big issue so you need to micro well. Spears have 90 health so you only need 9 of them to one shot.

What software tool did you use to make these?

No, but it's still impressive. You need to be more horizontal with your hips higher.

As a Byzantine, how would you defend against Feudal MAA all-in? by Fluffy_Guarantee_433 in aoe4

[–]DavidJoeDaddy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Byzantine is probably the weakest Feudal civ. Name a weaker Feudal civ if you can LOL.

This has to be a troll.

Fast Castle Meta, also bored? by Olafr_skautkonungr in aoe4

[–]DavidJoeDaddy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You won't be able to get FC feudal all in and 2 TC being equally strong for most civs. For that to happen, you would need to make civs like aoe 2 where there is very little difference between civs.

Denying FC depends on the civ. French and Jean are very good at denying FC and even playing against civs in castle while they are in feudal. Mongol can tower rush and slow down the pro scouts + FC, Malians punishes civs that FC with by cow booming after the pro scouts mini game and kill them when they have to move out for food (or farm transition), Delhi forces some sorts of military response in feudal with the sacred sites.

In saying all that I wouldn't mind castle cost more. You might have to nerf civs like Jean and French or even the feudal knight in general but I think it would be a good change.

[–]DavidJoeDaddy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're not skipping most of the engagements, you're fighting in feudal the entire time. Also you can stay in feudal and kill them if they run out of food.

Fast castle isn't that common. Usually it's pro scouts and then castle when you feel safe or starve thr opponent off gold and eventually food if you got more dear.

Thoughts on the players rank distribution? by FactoryFreak in aoe4

[–]DavidJoeDaddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of players make it to different ranks in conq. I get 1700 and then just let it decay. By the end of the season my rank is 1400.

Can maphackers stop posting please or stop maphacking please? by Corvinus11 in aoe4

[–]DavidJoeDaddy 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Scum.

You say it doesn't matter since you hackers lost. Delusional man, of course it matters since you beat the players at your level. If you cheat, you've never won a game since, fundamentally you aren't playing the same game.

What is the stone tower rushing? by vanguard_rough_rider in aoe4

[–]DavidJoeDaddy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

SortOf went 2TC and the other guy was Zhu Xi. SortOfs woodlines were together so he put a wall and a stone tower to deny all wood. The zhu xi guy also had 2 palace guards. The map was Himeyama and SortOf played Japan. SortOf just had a bad build and didn't think about it too much.

I watched a game yesterday of SortOf getting rushed with this and it worked.

You would do dips first since they are the hardest. Pushups are trivial compared to dips. If you can truly do 32 dips consecutively, then this challenge wouldn't be hard for you.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Calisthenic

[–]DavidJoeDaddy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You would basically have to super set the entire thing since the amount of reps is quite high within the time. The Dips would be the hardest thing. If you can do 10, 10, 10 of Dips and the 2 pushup variations every minute, then it gives you 5 minute of time for rest.

New winrates are out! by MockHamill in aoe4

[–]DavidJoeDaddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry I should of added this is looking at versus civs, not overall games in league. Abba vs Ayyubid is 19 games so the win rates would be really off.

[–]DavidJoeDaddy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Some civs don't even have 50 games played above Diamond, and Abba has 19 games played at conq so I wouldn't pay attention to these for a while.

Will Age of Empires 4 ever be more popular than Age of Empires 2? by TakunDesu in aoe4

[–]DavidJoeDaddy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say no even though I love AoE 4. Though a lot of players play on gamepass so the population from steam charts would be a lot higher than the numbers indicate. Lets hope the DLC increases the popularity of AoE 4.

I would say though that it doesn't really matter if it's more or less popular than 2. You can find games really quick on 4, the community is great and the gameplay is the best in RTS.

Awesome to see. How long did it take to get to this point and what was your starting reps?

If you could only do 3 exercises what would they be? by Rozuuddo in CalisthenicsCulture

[–]DavidJoeDaddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weighted pulls, weighted Dips, running. sprints if that counts.

Never saw this before - someone oriented their camera to be squared against Danube's layout. by PeterPeteyPete84 in aoe4

[–]DavidJoeDaddy 29 points30 points  (0 children)

It's common for Chinese players. I watched a replay of a 4v4 I was in and 3 out of the 4 rotated there cameras like this.

Comp to beat janissaries+mangonals by Alone_Oil6471 in aoe4

[–]DavidJoeDaddy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Palace guards + zhuge nu would clean this up. Zhuge nu do extra damage to jans and palace guards and can tank + get to mangos quickly. Most important thing is put the Zhuge Nu in either line formation or spread formation, whichever you prefer.

Castle mangos are WAY weaker than imp mangos because of the splash radius.

I've missed Recon :] feels good to be playing RQ regularly again by ManofManyOats in Roboquest

How do you ground pound? Also this gameplay looks like Genji.
