there should be a spectator tab which shows the lost resources in the last/current fight
Love Aussie's stuff!
Anyone else kind of roll their eyes anytime we hear a slight change being deemed as "the new meta"? LOL. Just a passing comment about it, regardless though, I love your stuff, keep it up!!
The whole meme about the "new meta" is exactly that. The exaggeration of some small switchup in playstyle as being completely gamechanging 😂
@@Honkwaddle lol roger that, I wish I would have seen right through it and not made a fool of myself, haha! Thanks for the reply :)! In the meantime, I'm loving all the content coming from Drongo!
Great cast again legend always have something to look forward to
Shame we didn't get to see the red palace do work. I love how it shreds armies. Only options you have against it are trebs/bombards
French are just good at everything.
17:58 that was a bit of a blunder by the caster there. The melee armor upgrade makes next to no difference in the Royal Knight vs Hardened Spearman exchange - the number of hits required to take down a knight doesn't change.
Having extra armor can't hurt of course, but looking at Don's resources, you can see that he had next to no food throughout that whole lengthy exchange. He valued pumping out knights consistently over having an insignificant upgrade that would only come into effect after the fight is over anyways - an arguably very smart call, which makes it even more painful to watch when the caster got so hung up on it... xD
Love the content Drongo!
I like your commentating bc you speak slowly and annunciate enough to where I can watch this at 1.5 to 1.75 speed 👍🏽 keep up the good work
awesome casting as always!
Wow the title was inline with the game. Big like!
I love how the thumbnails for the videos are always a specific theme and color scheme that I see and makes me want to click.
Don is just a Superior Player I'd say ..... I feel for him in the 1st game tho 😅 he should have instead snapped Kasva s Landmarks !
I mean even with the recent buffs, delhi is just... delhi.
And french is still as busted as first day on land, some things never change.
@@Irythia 💯
Delhi are better than France on almost every map. Don is just miles better, picks don't matter.
Its a sad day when he red palace is placed and drongo doesn't say this thing fucks
Delhi have a really big weakness countering units. If they get to age 3 it will take them a long time to get the veteran upgrade. Meanwhile his age 2 spears (and army in general), gets rekt vs the age 3 knights. He also couldn't go age 4, because the age 4 spear upgrades wouldn't finish in time. I don't think spears are viable for Delhi before post-imp. Maybe he should've focused on Crossbow/MAA/Elephants age 3 and Hand Cannoneers/MAA/Elephants in age 4? Idk, not a pro, but I think Delhi isn't really figured out yet
I feel like the sweet spot for Delhi right now is doing a fast castle and doing meaty tower war elephants/crossbow/spearmen and a couple of siege units push at castle age and try and overwhelm the opponent ... In a non-king of the hill match you can also capture sacred sites in the mean time to distract your opponent and while your doing your castle age push have the sacred timer running in the back ground as a back up. When you get to age 4 I feel like most civs will steamroll you because the get those imp upgrades waaaaayyyyy quicker and just outscale you better in late game
Unfortunately you'd probably wouldn't have the gold income for those comps, and it is important to note that spearman can negate the charge attack of knights. Against the French knight, this has the added bonus of preventing them from getting their damage buff following a charge; which is very important if the french researched canted saddles. Hardened spearmen vs age 3 knights, isn't good, but it also isn't the worse.
Comp wise, crossbows are very important to get (and handcannons in age 4), but I don't think MAA is going to do much better than hardened spearmen against the french. As for Tower Elephants, they are decent units against knights; but they tend to be easy to focus down which hurts a lot with how expensive they are. As long as you are able to support them well they might pay off? Meanwhile war elephants generally aren't considered good units, but perhaps they might be worth it against the French? I'm not to sure.
One unit I don't see you mentioning is the horseman. Age 2 horsemen can 5 shot veteran archers and pre-gamberson Arbalétrier; and they now do well at hunting siege units. If you can micro them well, you should free up pressure from your front line of spearmen/archers/crossbow/elephants.
Most likely once you reach castle you will start using castle units instead of feudal aka knights, elephants, men at arms so you can have an even ground with the enemy. Meanwhile you can make another barrack/stable just to upgrade the feudal units. But the problem is that yeah most of time you really want to beat the game on castle age. Most of problem of delhi is in late game when the unit and tech upgrade takes a long time.
it also hurt his upgrade time that he was trading out in fights using so much wood. i dont think i spotted any more monasteries.
17:58 Regarding the lack of fitted leatherwork -- I don't think it actually makes a big difference for the French player.
Without +1 armor:
- Hardened Spearmen deal 26 damage (29 - 3)
- Royal Knights die in 8 hits (190 / 26 = 7.3)
With +1 armor:
- Hardened Spearmen deal 25 damage (29 - 4)
- Royal Knights die in 8 hits (190 / 25 = 7.6)
The French player may have been making a cost effective move by not upgrading melee armor. Ranged armor makes a much bigger difference I think
What is the mangonel song called Aussie?
I thought the maps with a single holy site offered additional base gold per minute for holding them? Was this something I just made up?
He had to go springald
Any info would be nice I looked and can’t find it anywhere in game
Napoleon vs Khan
French knights are op late game just cos of hp, speed pop count and self heal. They just have too many hp and pop cap like a vil. A mass of 80 is easily doable. Insane game design. The only counter hre have is 30 barracks and seige at front line. But that doesn't really work.
Royal knights healing is op. They either should make it an age3 upgrade or knights need to stand still to heal. They cover the map while healing. Look at the longbow heals. They need to stand their ground other wise they cant heal
@@lineasevenadam5009 the healing is not op, u need 5 min(if not mistaken) to heal from 1 to full health
@@muhtadiazmy3053 But you tend to pull out the knights away from the enemy.micro skirmish at half health, and the half-heath ones can ream vills while another posse attacks somewhere else. In short they can keep fighting
@@thegorn thats their special power why would u nerf it lmao
@@lineasevenadam5009 the issue is the healing AND the insane hp. They can easily out fight/last their supposed counter, spearman, it's a joke.
I had a game where I was pumping out spearman from 15 barracks into a spearman mass and they crushed the spearman and the barracks in 3 minutes purely cos of hp pool
They are basically elephants that lack seige weakness have no pop cap issue, and can regen for free
that would have been Hilarious (impossible) if Kasva went for an all-in snipe and won another map he wasn't supposed to!
How did kasva get that golden monument of a tiger/jaguar ??! I need to know asap
Complete objectives, and missions
@@BeckJoseR yea I know that but kasva has a special monument not in game unless you bough the deluxe edition gives you the tiger monument
french kts are so hard to fight straight up in feudal
Spears, with partial walls to direct where you want to fight. Easy
I would like to have seen Kasva use more walls. Until relic fixes scholar AI they are much more useful behind or on top of walls than mixed in with combat units. The impact of them having a buggy attack move is too great; not only do they miss out on an extreme amount of uptime when the army they're with is micro'd (almost constantly in pro games), but now they're also liable to just walk forward into the enemy and die. for such an expensive unit it's an absolutely terrible loss.
Drongo, your videos are excellent, but you really need to educate your viewers during casting so that they learn STRATEGIES are more important than CIVS. This game Don Artie won because he executed his strategies better than Kasva did, not because French is more OP than Delhi.
All I see in most comment sections of every of your video are people whining that a civ is so weak, a unit is so strong, so imbalance, etc etc. After this match, lots of people will gonna say that Delhi is so weak, or Royal Knight is so OP, not realizing that we are having the most BALANCED patch ever since the game was release. The Delhi vs French is also one of the most well-balanced matchups and it all comes to players executing their strategies properly.
Look closely at 23:18 Kasva came SO CLOSE to victory if he finished the wall in time and not leaving such a big hole for the royal knights to enter. Also at 23:33, his other spearmen were also stuck and costing Kasva lots of wasted time running around.
Once the Delhi stone maze is set up successfully, there is no way Don Artie can reclaim the Sacred Site. Don must build Mango/Treb to destroy walls slowly but Kasva can easily react with melee War Elephant that will MASSACRE the royal knights and is absolutely best unit in defending choke points.
In short, I think both players have a fair chance of winning this match, but Don Artie had better strategies that beat Kasva's tactic and thus he won, not because Royal Knight is OP or Delhi is weak in Age IV.
tldr
Such a sucky map for Delhi in 1v1
Agreed. Only way to pull this off is real really FOB on the sight. Kas couldn't pull it off with his walls fast enough
