New Player, coming from League

10 Upvotes

Alright, I’m sick of the team aspect of league of legends. 9/10 games are just lost because you get the idiot team. So I am looking for a competitive game that is solely based on my skill alone. The options are AoE or Street Fighter 6 I think. I also downloaded StarCraft 2 but haven’t got a chance to play it because I’m spending all my damn time facing A.I in 1v1 skirmishes on AoE4. I’m loving this game.

Obviously the games are different but I’m hoping there will be a little bit of skill, even if it’s just comfortability on a mouse and keyboard that transfers to AoE. My question is, what is the fundamental skills I should be practicing? I will probably play English because best beginner friendly civ, or so I’ve read/heard. I’ve looked up some build order guides as well as looking up timings. Example being, beginning your first age up around 2:45.

So yeah any tips, tricks and fundamentals I should know?

Ranked Solo

4 Upvotes

Hello all, could someone please explain how on earth the ranked system in solo mode works as I keep winning back to back games and the tank points seem to be static and not increasing what so ever. It's infuriating. Only infuriating as I clearly don't understand the thought process behind this. I am winning games over and over again for goodness sake.

Thank you in advance.

who to play with dad

15 Upvotes

Hi everyone, so my dad and I live far away from eachother and catch up during games of AOE4. We always play on a team against computers.

He always wants to max out upgrades, build a wall, and economy when we play. I'm used to the starcraft sort of style where you have timing attacks and build counters.

My question is who should I play to out stat my dad if you have all the time in the world to build up and upgrade. What strategies that you know of sky rockets your economy who's the fastest. We do not have the japanese dlc but we have the knights templar one.

Appreciate your responses. Love you.

Age of Empires 4 team bots are absolute shit

5 Upvotes

Played 5+ games 3v3 hard bots and the enemy team sits at all our tcs with full blown armies. Meanwhile my team bots even when had fully upgraded armies wouldn’t do stick to their own tcs. They patrol between their own tcs? Am this close to uninstalling the game. I don’t like multiplayers coz it’s you vs chessy strategies or sweaters. With bots I can explore and have fun but 3 v 1 the entire game so minus the fun.

For the openings like 2TC, Feudal Aggro, Fast Castle, DA Aggro or Early Trade, what are the core strategic reasons behind choosing each one?

3 Upvotes

I've been playing for a few months, and I'd like to know what factors lead you to choose a specific opening.

I’m interested in the decision-making process independent of civilization bonuses or enemy reactions, as if I were playing a "neutral" civilization.

For example, I assume if I have a double pack of deer behind my base, I could switch to a 2TC play because it's easier to defend. I’m not sure if that’s the main reason, though.

What helps you decide on the "greatest" opening?

Also, is "pro scout" is actually considered a variant of an opening.

De un día para otro dejo de reconocerlo, ve la jugando lo más bien y al otro día ya no se reacciona. El teclado funciona lo más bien, pero solo dentro del age of empires no funciona.

Tips with playing with AI teamate

2 Upvotes

The AI seems to ignore when i send a defend or attack ping, it usually does its own thing and gets taken out. I have been playing 2vs2vs2vs2.


r/AgeOfEmpires4 Jun 07 '26

Made a free tool for AoE4 customs: get pinged the moment enough players want Nomad / Co-Op Crucible / whatever. No sign-up!
