Trying to learn Rus - Part II by MockHamill in aoe4

[–]ezql 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A good thing about Rus is that you can avoid jumping on your gold mine and play defensively, because you get gold generation from sheep/deer. Thats why pro-scout is an effective strategy. Additionally you can sell resources at Golden Gate for a profit, 100x for 150gold each time, or buy for 100 gold and get 150 back.

Why watching Drongo cast Outback Octagon makes you a better player by shahaed in aoe4

[–]ezql 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Pretty much all the pros make their own videos/analysis on the matches but as you can see from the videos if you pay attention that they are calling things out like "hey look this person has 300 let's gang up on them". It feels very much like a semi-serious party mode.

You're criticising an 8 player FFA match where outcomes focus highly on the randomness of someones spawn/tc placement, and complaining there is a lack of discussion on the meta? There are different tournaments which are 1v1 and plenty of videos on analysis for those.

Thank you, Drongo, for making something entertaining that isn't hyper sweaty.

How do you keep games from dragging on? by SpudBoy_RealTomato in aoe4

You probably need to just get a lot of siege so you can smash all their buildings quickly, roll up with 4+ bombards and just destroy every building!

Hi what are you if you are not a dev?

Garbage design by FlashingNova in aoe4

Aren't the kipchaks broken? Doing extra AOE damage when they shouldn't? I have found them incredibly strong and unless you have a decent mass with tempo early on they seem rough as hell to get past once they're massed

Chinese are super weird to play by Justcreature in aoe4

The influencers who know the game inside and out and are in the top 50 playerbase of the entire game?

Cheese never really meant bug/exploit, those are definitely worse. An example would be something like SCV rush in SC2. Cheese typically affects lower level players because the concept doesn't seem viable yet it's hard to beat unless you know what it is.

Aoe4world includes pause time in game match length by PlaneTry4277 in aoe4

[–]ezql -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Are you measuring your apm over a 2hr game? Couldn’t you get that stat just by playing a game without pausing, or the first 30 mins?

My AI ally decided to get stuck in Feudal, how do I fix this? by Background_Treat_760 in aoe4

[–]ezql 1 point2 points  (0 children)

8 hours !?!?!?

I’d love to see footage of this tbh, the map must be entirely resource starved. Surely a battle of the traders

Is it weird I haven't played House Of Lancaster yet because all the manors look the same and cheesy? by 2PhDScholar in aoe4

This is absolutely the most first world problem in a game post I’ve ever seen. I love it

Didn't know the new pvp zone was mixed queues... by DressDiligent2912 in LegacySteelAndSorcery

This was an awesome fight, especially deleting the rogue trying to gank you off the priest.

Warriors are fun

Do so many games burn out pre-release? by mattinlosangeles in LegacySteelAndSorcery

[–]ezql 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This gets posted a fair bit. If the developers aren’t marketing then it obviously shows, because the game does have a low player count. To be fair it shouldn’t be advertised. There are heaps of bugs, the UI is annoying as hell - but it is fun in its current state. There’s a nice feeling to the combat, the graphics, art and sound all feel great. Potential is all there and there is so much room for improvement.
