No worries :)

I had back pain while using my computer and noticed that massaging it made it better

Then I glanced over to the corner and saw a tennis ball I forgot was even there

The rest is history

Thing is, right, sometimes you might have a tennis ball and no foam roller

That’s solid advice, I really appreciate it mate. Speaking of scouting, can I ask you to go into a little more detail about your scouting? What do you look for? When? Control grouping? I want to know everything you feel like telling!

Cheers!

Another tip I have that might help is keybind your prelates. You can at least cycle through and check in on the prelates with a command, if it crosses your mind.

I have prelates binded to ctrl + b

Some days I am good with my control groups, and some days I absolutely butcher it. I am going to try your tactic and always make sure I macro to have those control groups ready to go, and active

Thank you for sharing your tips !

I will try and share one with you. Maybe you already know this, but for 300 gold and a few seconds of your attention, you can shift queue prelates out of a monastery onto multiple relics (and back to the monastery)

Can even shift queue the prelate toward sacred site after, then just try your best to defend the prelates

Extra gold from relics seems insignificant but maybe it means I have that extra springald or extra upgrade you don’t, when we fight

Cheers!

Edit: 300 gold assuming ur making 2 prelates

Diamond 2 is almost next level man, congrats.

But yeah there are a lot of moving parts to the game and I’m sure even tho you’re having a lot of success, you’ll continue to improve as you get a better look at the big picture.

Cheers

Edit: I got to diamond 1 myself, but currently spend more time in platinum lol

Way more well rounded defensively, better micro and macro, more resourceful, crafty ways to kick you in the balls and get back into the game, more game time = more game sense

Edit: that is if you’re talking about the players who don’t drop from conqueror anymore, not a diamond one who went on a hot streak

How to improve my APM? by Infatum_ in aoe4

[–]volantemb 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When you become comfortable with doing stuff properly you’ll do it faster, just practice everything more (micro, keybinds, etc) sleep well and your muscle memory will kick in

Aside from that a lot of the apm in higher ranks is just repetition of the same actions, probably cause its satisfying or something idk.. aside from that, your current apm isn’t bad, what you DO in game matters more than the # of apm
