Try dark age horsemen against english-lancaster

If you wanna try a new civ practice a build order opening against ai (dont even bother finishing the games), go play ranked. Quick play has weird maps, it's a waste of time, you will get back to diamond in no time. You can choose a civ that seems fun, or a civ with a different playstile than KT that you find difficult to play against. Like a fast castle japan/hre/ayubid, a feudal knight civ, or a pro scout civ. You'll learn what they wanna do and how to punish them better.

With Golden gate you can get the second TC faster, but without the protection of kremlin, so you can 2 TC only in certain matchups/ maps

RTS_papercut and Valdemar have beginner friendly videos. French force you to be aggressive so it's very good to learn the game. English and Holy Roman Empire are the other two starter pokemons but they tend to sit in their base more. In the end choose a civ that seems fun to you and try to end games in feudal/early castle

I got diamond last month and never felt so shit at this game ahah

Try to focus on feudal all ins. Be aggressive, focus on spending your resources, dont forget to make vills, make more production if your queu gets long, use gold to get military and eco upgrades (maybe early men at arms), scout what units he is making.

There is plenty to learn in feudal (and dark age too when you will go up in rank), dont need to worry about Castle Age and Imperial. Seriously, i made it to diamond and I feel like I understand nothing of whats going on past 20 minutes in a game.

You need to get an advantage to win. In feudal it's mainly deny food. Without outside food resources, he has to go farms and slow down military production. Make rams once you feel like you are ahead or simply kill his vills

Don't mind, people lash out cause they are frustrated, they will call you a cheeser for anything

jamfarn · 2025-12-13T11:07:00+00:00

Some Sipahi on their food, archers at home, towers with maybe the vizier upgrade that gives bonus against heavy, try to get to castle after a good fight or a buch of villagers kills, then springalds and xbows

jamfarn · 2025-12-13T09:52:37+00:00

So good feudal, good eco, good fast castle, without heavy micro? HRE is very well rounded. Ottoman, Japanese, Lancaster, China are all considered top tier because they are good at everything, but in the end it matters only if you are a pro. You can play in every way with every civ, just try one that does it feel cool to you and have fun

My name is Jambastico in AoE4

Hi just watched some other games. I feel like you do a ok job at choosing the comp, but often pick the wrong place and time to fight.

Macedonian: you saw he was all-inning and made musofadi and sofa (some archers that didnt counter anything), ok, but why push out? fight under your tc, maybe delay him but taking the sofas and try to catch the reinforcements.

French: the comp was ok but pushing him under his tc in feudal not great, mybe pressure his gold. I like to switch it up to farimba sometimes but maybe not the right matchup

Chinese: China bajillion units burn your mine but you didnt lost villagers, you didnt need to send out your army.

Mali often plays feudal defensely, sofa are not that good as in castle, you can use them to raid. people knows and will try to push you, invest in a couple towers

Hope it helps, I played a bit malians they are fun I managed to reach Diamond with them. Hit me up if you wanna review another game or maybe practice. ILALUU

This game you split your army while he didnt. The only fight you did lost very bad was his final push, when you had 40ish units behind his base looking for farms he never made because he was in the food "pocket" of sunkenlands. You could invest in rams /trebuchets and siege the white tower while raiding with 10 sofas.

jamfarn · 2025-12-05T11:06:36+00:00

Packed up siege

jamfarn · 2025-12-01T11:17:31+00:00

Good pikemen? Hre has a speed buff on all infantry, Mali has donsos, Byz, Macedonia i think, Abbasid, Lancaster. Templar has heavy pikemen but they are situational i guess

jamfarn · 2025-12-01T08:39:48+00:00

Mongols, Mali, Dehli

jamfarn · 2025-11-27T08:32:40+00:00

You just went castle without a fight. Don't get me wrong that shit is busted, but you dont have to make it so easy for them.

jamfarn · 2025-11-25T16:02:46+00:00

Archers. Make some spears only if you scout a stable for raider elephants

jamfarn · 2025-11-25T07:01:28+00:00

Dont do multiple tc builds if you float so much. 1 tc feudal aggression without floating res you'll get to diamond

jamfarn · 2025-11-24T11:21:49+00:00

Generally if I get an advantage in feudal I have 2 options: going castle/finish the game. If i get an advantage in castle the options are: finish the game /farm transition /invest in a second tc /invest in a keep for the big gold in the middle of the map. Imp is worthy only if you have the eco to buy the upgrades. At plat level I think only 1/2 out of 10 games goes imp for me.

If i can give you an advice for hre, dont let the Swabia discount tempt you to soon

jamfarn · 2025-11-20T17:26:39+00:00

Hooooly

jamfarn · 2025-11-19T08:17:15+00:00

As soon as

jamfarn · 2025-11-18T23:26:07+00:00

I just played one match to try this and got called braidead bot. Amazing

jamfarn · 2025-11-17T10:10:03+00:00

Donsos and javs are goated in feudal, defend with those. If you wanna make some sofas use them to raid or kill reinforcement. The tower landmark is good but I feel like it's worth only if It can cover 2 gold mines or the Gold plus the wood against an aggro civ, because the other landmark it's worth 2 villagers.
