The Standard German Build Order [AOE3]

In this video, we take a look at the standard build order for the Germans in Age of Empires 3. This opening can be used on land & water. This video is part of a series for the improvement checklist, where we will be visiting every civilisation and their standard opening.

This series is perfect to know what a strong opening is for each civ. It's really helpful. Thanks for starting this series!

Thank you very much for this series. The opening two minutes of a game is always a clusterfuck for me down in the 1k elo, not sure if I should go for a TP or a market mostly, and having your calm voice explaining what to do will certainly help me be more focused and stable at match start.

[RipperJack]

Very nice video. Just some tiny additions. You usually want to drop the market next to your front coin mine to give you some LOS and protection.
Also, once you click the age up, all vills should go onto wood (except 2 should go out to bring in the next hunts) and you should make a TP no matter what game plan you have.

Germans are just so much fun, 10/10 would recommend to anyone that hasn't played them before!

EDIT: isn't a TP meant to placed in transition, i think thats the current meta?

Been playing for 2 days now never played before, Cards were a new concept for me. When watching this video I was beating Moderate AI without Cards yesterday, now I'm beating Hard AI today thinking about bumping it up all from this video. You have helped me Ascend. A youngling no more I am. Its crazy to think the first 3 minutes can take you from taking forever to beat Moderate to thinking about skipping hard straight to Hardest after 1 game of Hard. (after repeating the first 3 minutes about 6 times to get it right) GREAT LESSON "Do you want to know more?" YES!

In Germany we call the standard opening Blitzkrieg! 😆

[Noble_Duck]

Man, I've been seeing so many German matchups you've been casting as of late and was trying to figure out how to get into playing them. I've been maining China and it's hard switching to the Euro civs. Praise the providence of Drongo.

[ujkos_who]

As a begginer your videos has been the most useful and I enjoy them a lot, but I was wondering if there is some all around basics that every player has to know?

[knorrkzk.]

Loved the new series, continue the good work!!

[Superbird]

Great new series! Also love the Office reference in there

[rg]

Good timing, I just decided to try and pick up the Germans less than a week ago

[BEanz]

I miss the Aussie drongo song, anyone remember ? It was so good bring that back bro

[OmerFarukUcer]

How can you display the shortcuts? Like q is villager and etc.

I feel like you're being overzealous with killing/herding your initial hunts. A dead animal rots at 0.74 food per second which basically is an invisible settler stealing food off each dead critter and whisking it off into the ether. So, when you're gathering from 3 bison concurrently at 4:08, and then shoot a fourth, you're basically sending a negative food trickle to the tune of 2.22 food per second, using up your small number of nearby hunts, and hurrying the moment when you'll have to send your economy further away from your TC, and into harm's way. On maps where you've got a larger number of smaller animals, the waste can be even higher, if you're killing every animal, and gathering with one settler per corpse (using non-germany, non-french in this example), you're wasting 47% of the food in the animals you've killed.

Now I know leaving your settlers exposed is also a risk, but especially in the early parts of the game, I feel like you're as safe as you'll ever become, you're not going to get raided at 2:27, so what's the benefit of killing and harvesting more than one beast at a time?

[balazsfenyes]

Is Solingen Steel Card useless? It gives a big hp/dmg buff to dopps but they become slow as samurai. Without it with temple upgrade they have 5.95 speed which is super good for an infantry deadly in close range.

[kevinhunter]

what do you do when you make a mistake? do you still follow the same build order or do you adjust and create a new strategy?

[SisuBjörk]

Me doing this and wondering what to do next

[silmaril]

I wonder how long till Sioux strat will come out? I suppose first you will do all European civs?

[ToMoJeKral]

well im kinda new to the game and this was a little bit helpfull but i would like to know how to counter my friend that plays russians, first days i was beating his ass up but now hes rolling trough me with those huge armies in age 2

[AfgTopak]

Why do you put your settlers always into Ur TC end get them out all the time. I dont get it.
