Age of Empires 4 - Beginner’s Guide to the Early Game & Advancing Fast

Age of Empires 4 released on steam, windows and gamepass for PC today on October 28 2021! In this Age of Empires IV beginners guide I offer my best, simple starting strategy for players looking to advance to the second era quickly, with minimal clicks, largely free of conflict and distractions. AOE4 is a real time strategy game, and unlike say Humankind of Civilization (which are 4x strategy games that used a turn-based system), the game in age of empires 4 never stops (unless I guess you google 'how to pause age of empires 4 and hit esc haha).

In this Age of Empires IV gameplay tutorial I offer some useful information for beginners - an opening strategy guide for any skirmish (or campaign/ multiplayer game if you're feeling lucky, punk!). In this AoE4 beginners guide I teach you the basics for advancing quickly beyond the feudal era - this is my ideal build order for AoE 4 and hopefully you find the gold and food rush, maximum villager production strategy to be viable for you too! Thanks for watching the Age of Empires guide! Maybe I'll see ya in the next one? #AgeOfEmpiresIV #AOE4 #Strategy #JumboPixel #Gaming

Why does this guy always get so many dislikes? He sounds so nice and happy talking about the game and I always see his videos with loads of dislikes


Anyone knows what's up?

As a long time AOE fan, for the most part I'm loving the game. The videos in campaign make me feel like a kid watching the History Channel when it was good and showed actual history. The quality in those videos alone make getting the game on gamepass more than worth it for me personally. Game wise, I'm pretty happy with the formula, and provided they continue to build on it, I see a great future for the game. Some simple fixes I'd like to see would be: a auto scout button being added to the scouts, treaty modes being included in the game, map mods and custom map making abilities, higher pop cap, (why are we still stuck on 200?) Make the idle villies button more noticeable, and allow my to rotate buildings (this may be a feature I just haven't worked out yet. The method from aoe3 of hitting shift and scrolling doesn't though, and I've yet to find any alternative.)

I have some constructive criticism if you are open to it. I think it would be worth noting how important distance of travel is to resouce gathering. In your video your villagers traveled much further than what is optimal. The problem with this is that your deer were likely producing food rates equal to berries or even farmland. It is wise to set up a mill in these situations. A seemingly small change in strategy such as that can really turn the tides for a new player which this tutorial is geared for. In addition, I think it cannot be understated just how important free sheep are. They can be returned to the base for optimal distance to resource gathering thereby freeing up wood resources which is crucial for someone who is starting out.
Be well.

Lost me when he sent villagers toward deer and not sheep.

You start a new match! 200 of enemy archer and riders comin to get you

[geoffreyallen]

Based on your strategy, the AI on intermediate is going to send units within minutes during the feudal age and destroy your whole village. You have no military

[Mythlgic]

So... we learned not to gather food from far away without a mill nearby like you did. Thanks. 😂

[abadyabady]

my best starting strategy is 6 on sheep close to the center and scouting and generating workers
worker number 7 build house
worker 8 build logging camp
worker 9 mine
from there ill send new half half to food and gold until age 2 and before progressing to age 2 upgrade all economic buildings

[TheDreamN]

I would’ve also had mentioned and made use of the market in the feudal age. One of the most important buildings

Newbie at the game, as in I just downloaded it for the first time ever. Pray me well.

[cijpvqh]

My first ever time playing age of empires and the first video I click on first word you say is kia ora I must have been meant to play this game Kia Ora bro

[ahmedelbrns]

I just picked up this game. Thank you for the little simple instruction but man i never seen a game community this bad since league of legends people are so salty and toxic 😂

[AbKQ]

Hi dude how to start the game from the first plzz made a video for that start from the menu where to go im relly lost

[jolim]

Not really up to spec for good start sorry. Best to start new players off with solid advice on timing and being efficient.

[occamsblunderbuss]

I love your stuff and I'm a friend of the channel.

This is a really poor beginner's guide and the Likes to Dislikes ratio agrees with me.

[sixfoothalfling]

great video! already knew everything in the video, just here impatiently waiting for the game to finish downloading

[keifer]

Looks like I have the early game down, but in the mid game the intermediate (new player here) AI shows up with a way bigger military in the mid game and wipes me.

[TheShaydze]

the kiaora at the start put me in shock haha bless up mbro

[juicylemon]

Thanks so much! I'm new to AOE and this was very helpful.

[Wingman]

You can just shift click on the map to queue up movement commands
