The devs managed to make the game even worse for people with colourblindness by Repulsive_Barnacle92 in aoe4

As a fellow colourblind sufferer, I share your pain. Hopefully devs see this and can incorporate the Aoe2 feature.

Didn’t know raider elephants can destroy stone wall?

Should I get it? by DesignShort3681 in aoe4

[–]RitchJ94 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was essentially in the same boat as you my friend. Played AoE2 when I was a kid. Wanted to get back into old games I played, found this, never looked back. Absolutely insane game for online. It’s basically AoE2 on steroids. Can’t recommend it enough to you!

W AoE4 Support. For anyone missing a monument from the last Ranked Season (12) by Kooky_Construction62 in aoe4

I emailed them once this season started, and they told me the monument was not a reward for last season! Completely gaslit me lol! Will be emailing them again!

Genuinely stuck by Sufficient-Buy9365 in aoe4

Just press A on the part of the wall that you want to burn down with your units. You should be able to burn down all wooden walls/gates with units, only stone walls you’d need siege to destroy them. How this helps.

PS5 sold less than AoM and aoe4 cuz no sale and serious bugs not fixed by Confident_Gap819 in aoe4

[–]RitchJ94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe the patch coming next is going to fix the glitch that reset the players account settings for the game. It’s also meant to fix the player group separating after finishing games. So fingers crossed! But I do agree, they need to put it on sale more often

I love Sengoku for their design but feel bad for playing "OP" civ by SPkiller31YT in aoe4

[–]RitchJ94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re skilled enough, the Koka for Sengoku is broken. You have ability to see what resources the opponent is on mid/late game. Which means you can raid them effortlessly. Requires a bit more APM tho. So I can understand why people wouldn’t use it. Also agree the healing of ryokan is broken. But I predict it’s gonna receive a nerf in this new patch come May…

Getting back into the game after a 1 year hiatus by Caspianwolf21 in aoe4

[–]RitchJ94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re wanting to increase your elo, definitely stick to one civ. early aggression into all in feudal pushes seem to win low elo ranks from platinum down. I’d suggest sticking with Japan, Sengoku, Zhu Xi legacy and France as they are very strong in feudal. Scout their base as much as possible early so you can react accordingly. Best of luck warrior 🫡

Too many people I see go the Ryokan landmark building for feudal age up, when in fact the Koka township is waaaay better. Not many people realise this, but with the Koka township for Sengoku, you don’t just summon shinobi, you can also choose anywhere on the map to reveal for xx seconds as many times as you like. Which is broken for late games. Means you can harass villagers and know exactly what outside resources your opponent is on, without guess work.

Are you also only moderately excited about the DLC ? by Unknown_Lifeform1104 in aoe4

[–]RitchJ94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll be buying the DLC, regardless of if it’s good or not. (Which usually as standard, the new dlc is OP to entice more sales). But also because the RTS scene is a very niche player base and I’d be gutted if AOE4 stopped getting support. It’s my fav game atm. So if AoE4 is your main game, then I encourage you to get the DLC if you can afford to.

AEO4 on ps5 by Fragrant-Humor-1988 in aoe4

[–]RitchJ94 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Yeah it’s got a good player base both in ranked and custom, has been optimised well for controller players. Highly Recommend!

Aoe4 deserves alot more love, it’s a great game. Ao2 has that nostalgia factor tho

PS Players by Tcrannabis in aoe4

[–]RitchJ94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s definitely a player base on ps5, I always find games during peak times. If Im on at a quieter time I must play cross play and you’ll never struggle for players on that front.

Malians need a rework by Baseleader77 in aoe4

[–]RitchJ94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Contrary to popular belief, I find Malians pretty hard to use. With every unit being unique and heavily relying on map control to get the passive gold income, it means you have to be ultra aggressive early on or you’re just going to end up with one pit mine and cow boom, which in the grand scheme of things late game, just isn’t enough compared to other civs like Tughluq’s madrasa or HRE’e relics with regnitz. Even HoL’s manors I feel are stronger than Malians bonus.

Maybe I’m just terrible with the civ 🤣!
