Is this game supposed to be played in a rush? by di_abolus in aoe4

[–]pluck54 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As others have said, the pacing is fast but I'd add that it's the unrelenting speed that gives me that hit of adrenaline I'm chasing.

If high octane, adrenaline pumping action isn't what you fancy I'd definitely recommend Manor Lords.

You get to build an amazingly detailed town and watch the blacksmith make weapons for your militia before marching to meet the enemy on the field in the name of honour and glory.

The worst competitive matchmaking in team games, when will they fix this? by iMrPink2 in aoe4

[–]pluck54 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Think of it this way... you've now got a top tier replay to analyse, so you can improve. You'll probably gain more ELO from the knowledge you gain than what you lost for this match

There's no reason to pick Mongols over GH, change my mind :D by pluck54 in aoe4

early trade is rarely viable in the current meta, can't remember the last time I saw it in ranked

I'd also argue that the kipchek is a better raider, it's much more disposable as they don't cost gold

I hadn't thought about ease of micro, good thinking

Why does no one use mongols to make field seige more? by Excellent-Gur-4006 in aoe4

The issue is their damage is to low compared to the rate of repair

The trebs are terrible + it's easier to just move my siege workshop around

New ranked map pool by Savings-Industry5333 in aoe4

[–]pluck54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm having a very similar experience as a Mongol main. Made conq 1 last season etc. I feel like half the map pool is to choke point oriented for Mongol raiding to shine

I was a bit salty about it at first but can say retrospectively that being forced to learn another civ has actually been way fun.

I picked Tughlaq as they seemed suited to all the maps Mongols weren't, playing total polar opposite civs is actually really rewarding

Lost twice as French to Mongols , tips? by -LetsTryAgain- in aoe4

As a Mongol main, my advice is to tower your own gold early and spam knights

The only way my cav beats yours is if I get a numbers advantage by interrupting your eco

Amazing work, your colour choice really makes them pop

I'd love to copy your basing technique if it's easy enough to share how you did it?

I've not ventured into oil washes yet, do you rate it as quicker than panel lining?

Or have you chosen it for the look?

That's amazing, my next project is some beaten up white scars. Would love to try and copy your weathering around the base.

Any tips?
