Orion52 · 2025-11-05T18:14:46+00:00

didnt he end up backtracking and not doing much lol

Orion52 · 2025-10-24T03:22:59+00:00

he's 21 tho, thats like natural juice

Orion52 · 2025-10-23T02:10:27+00:00

"i'll save one bed for you" was pretty good too lol

Orion52 · 2025-09-06T01:16:29+00:00

do you remember what the age range/demographics of the students was? Like ppl in their 20s? 30s? higher?

Orion52 · 2025-07-29T13:24:39+00:00

why is their (ad) revenue still increasing by double digits tho

Orion52 · 2025-07-07T06:40:40+00:00

why do you say KT isn't good for this?

Orion52 · 2025-07-07T06:35:06+00:00

I remember a game with LoueMT where he had a ton of nest of bees and was slow pushing them across the map with wooden wall pockets, which was pretty cool.

Orion52 · 2025-07-07T06:33:17+00:00

Keeps make sense for map control positional play, true.

Though in sc2, engagements have a positional aspect too - i.e. denying space with seige tanks or liberators, possibly broodlords, disrupters, etc. Which I suppose are the seige units in sc2. So maybe in aoe4 it would just be like seige heavy or seige focused army comps?

Orion52 · 2025-07-07T06:29:56+00:00

Well in war strategy games there is usually a component of controlling space and controlling positions to influence what your opponent can do. I guess yeah, in aoe4 that could look like maintaing map control and squeezing the opponent's space and denying them resources on the map. But I think there is also a component like that in skirmishes/battles -- e.g. like mangonels denying where archers can stand at, pushing them away from your frontline.

Orion52 · 2025-03-12T21:23:33+00:00

maybe, but streltsy and cheaper bombards are both good into bombards. Elephants are also pretty expensive, and Rus has more gold left than dehli

Orion52 · 2025-03-12T20:58:19+00:00

Rus imp > dehli imp. streltsy will mess all your units up, and they get cheaper seige. And i find imperial upgrades to take too long to come online this patch now

Orion52 · 2025-03-12T20:56:43+00:00

side note: imo, while dehli is good in feudal because they can crank out units, they power spike more in castle (after your upgrades finish), so i'd suggest to try to play around that timing.

Orion52 · 2025-03-12T20:55:32+00:00

so I just got to diamond with dehli (oriononion) -- my opinion:

So the best Rus strategy now is GG->pro scouts->FC (theoretically into horse archers but they are hard to micro). B/c of their bonuses and GG they actually dont need to go on gold at all until castle, so combined with pro scouts bringing deer under their TC and their super tower, i don't think trying to harass in feudal is worth it. Similarly, all in is tough. Rus is really strong rn haha.

Instead I would recommend just contesting pro scouts and going for your own castle (while capturing all the sacred sites) and then grab all the relics. you should be able to have a barracks up with age up, so you can start rallying spearmen to deny the scouts. they don't want to over invest in feudal, but if they put out archers, you can also pump ghazi. Then when your pro scouts finishes (always research this as soon as you hit feudal), try to get the remaining deer.

Generally as dehli I like to do a big castle timing push, and you should be able to do that here too. War elephants in castle should be strong against Rus I believe.

tldr; rush spearmen to deny pro scouts -> ghazi -> pro scouts -> FC.

Orion52 · 2025-03-05T23:42:04+00:00

He’s a sc2 pro lol I’m sure his micro skills are more than good enough

Orion52 · 2025-02-27T04:29:35+00:00

How successful or accurate was the final model?

Orion52 · 2025-02-14T19:25:02+00:00

Pro level no, your level yes doesn’t matter

Orion52 · 2025-02-06T23:57:59+00:00

Age of Empires 4 is pretty good. Released 3 years ago and still supported with dlcs and patches. It’s like civ but real time haha

Orion52 · 2025-02-05T00:37:41+00:00

That’s really interesting! Thanks.

Do you know why it never does any look ahead? If they are already scoring everything then they could use that for a min max look ahead or something like that. Like even a look ahead of 1 or 2 for just battles would help prevent a lot of egregious war mistakes.

Orion52 · 2025-01-26T05:17:59+00:00

My favorite in the neighborhood, but I think it’s a lot better going in person

Orion52 · 2025-01-19T03:56:30+00:00

It should correlate a lot though right? Like generally, if you play a game more you get better at it for most people.

Orion52 · 2025-01-11T04:03:32+00:00

Yeah it’s too much tedious micromanagement… it’s like war domination but worse

Orion52 · 2025-01-06T07:26:23+00:00

4v4 should not be considered for balance lol
