Finally! The lack of this feature used to be the most annoying thing in the game

For the vikings, I don’t see why you would ever elect to make condos over the bezerk. Unless you’re going against straight gunpowder, otherwise the berserk just is a better unit

Kinda wired knights can keep up with infantry since they can sprint

Hello guys, today he have a list of top Cinco condotierro

10:34: I've been playing AoM since it was released, never noticed that this is possible. Not even in the one campaign-mission, where you trade with an allied town center.

My very first game that I've ever played in my life. When I was 5.

Defensive stance can be useful with patrol or attack move. They attack move to the target and then don't wander off

Why can't the enemy loot the resources after destroying the store houses, lumber camps, granaries or town centres? All the resources gathered in these buildings are so safe that even after raiding the entire kingdom, not even a single unit of any resouce is lost. Did they have some kind of hi-tech vault or something. Each of the villagers can conveniently use the gathered resources to build something even if the construction site is located on the far end of the world. Did they have online banking systems back then??

honestly, not so surprising, an infantry, getting more use in a civ specifically made to flood the arena with infantry.

I want a video measuring how good or bad is Berbers' villager bonus for economy

Can we take a moment to acknowledge the irony of Goths hiring Italian mercenaries?

For the Mongols wonder, its possible that the Ensemble Studios artists took inspiration from the tents from the 1956 film The Conqueror, which is infamous for the filming location at an active nuclear test site in Utah. (8:13)

My bet was on persians, as they lack even two-handed swordsman.

not

The Kondoskarel may have 2 less attack, but the ability to ignore tower arrows makes them a pain in your base as they freeze your eco.

რასა ბრძანებთ

Goths only nightmare is scorpions

Oooo would be interested in seeing a similar video for who has the best Genitours and Imperial Skirmishers. I would think top 3 for Genitours would be Magyars, Mongols, Turks and top 3 for Imperial Skirmishers would be Dravidians, Mayans, Lithuanians but would be cool to see your take.

also, condo basically huskarl but holds sword in different stance. so it makes hard to determine composition at a glance, enemy may think your units are mostly condos and engage with an archer group when in reality it was huskies the entire time!

Well technically in your tests, Goths Condottieros have most HP 23 Goths Condottieros - 1840 HP in total 15 Armenian Condottieros - 1650 HP in total 15 Generic Condottieros - 1200 HP in total So who cares that some Condottieros can withstand more arrows or more armor, if you can beat them all with massive wall of flesh

no advantage of aging up only pain and suffer

i just wish that the units look as cool ingame as in the cutscenes.. was always sad seiing the cool hoplites change into the non-upgrades versions

konnik: i died, but i survived

Dravidians would be on this list if this video came out sooner. Halbs and light Cav ignoring armor and fully upgraded skirmishers that attack 25% faster is hard to beat as trash wars go….

I feel like everyone, at all levels of play, have this on point, and so even at the lowest elo they are clicking up and trouncing me. Back to AoE 4.

TL:DW: Strong when massed, weak when not.

Makes sense. The Goths are the #1 infantry civ.

Could red and blue team up to take out grey early? Make it 2v5 instead of 2v6?

Im going to cry, Spirit, im going to cry...😭

Top 10 about infantry: #1 is goths, always the goths. But i wonder why anyone would make Condos when the Huskarl is just a better version of them.

For Dravidians, I think the bigger benefit isn't having an anti-gunpowder option but having a good raiding option. And the cost of the tech switch is relevant: Romans would benefit not just from the +1 melee armor, but also from not needing to research the last armor upgrade. Still nowhere near as good as Malians in quality (missing blast furnace is a lot less relevant if you're using it in an early imp situation where you can't afford blast furnace, and the bonus pierce armor gets the most important benefit of the armor techs). And Goths are easily the best (as they have civ bonuses replacing several infantry techs, significantly reducing the cost of switching into them - and the discount does make up for missing the last armor tech). Also, Burgundian hand cannons do get 3 bonus damage against Condos, so Sicilians may still have a small benefit in condos as an anti-gunpowder unit (not that it's much of an impact - it just reduces the need for the Condo's bonus armor).

Since I was 5 till now (18) I'm still a fan of briton longbows. They look cool.

Ohh, another Italian review soon?

I love italians, favorite civ and super fun unique units!

what about your new site? spiritOfTheShield? or smth? :O

People fighting against a Goth and Italian players might really considers strong melee fighter civ to win. Examples is jaguar warrior (both are unique units) and cataphract (both are infantry)

Don't forget that Goth Condottiero look a lot like Huskarls, which helps in confusing the opponent!

Hey Spirit, Law of the Guys here

Sorta glad Malians are #2. They don't draw attention to themselves which gives me hope that they won't be nerfed 😅.

As somebody that is always playing Italians, the Goth synergy is really crazy.

This reminds me of the team slinging combo that T90 covered.

I did not watch it yet but he gonna put Japanese in 1st, doesnt he

I must admit, it's kinda sad that Celts are such a BAD Infantry Civ for being labeled an 'infantry civ'. Movement speed is great but +15% with no Squires tends to run into 'okay, you're fast but you're not actually a Fast Unit, because you're not cavalry' and they don't have much more to their name there. They are a civ I'd love to see get a redo to be better at their role.

For me I would probably say Vikings adds the most important role, primarily because they don't have a good raiding unit, especially if there are hcs in the mix. Whereas even goths have serviceable cavalry, BBC, and even to a lesser degree huskarls, viking literally just have skirm and terrible light cav.

SOTL in 2014 : let's make vids about the game balance of a 15 year old game, surely this will only change in a marginal way. SOTL in 2024 : so, everything I said back then is redundant by now, let me (involuntarily) milk that 25 year old cow again, but still make amazing content.

It'd be cool if you could plot some units in the chart at 4:39 to give us a quick understanding of what that would roughly be

Let's be real: was there any doubt that Goths would have the best infantry here?

Yeah, Goth supremacy!
