Скачать или смотреть Age of Empires IV The Ottomans versus the English

The Ottomans and English in Age of Empires 4 offer distinct playstyles.
Ottomans
Strengths:
Military Schools auto-produce units, ensuring a strong late-game army.
Vizier Points unlock powerful unique techs and bonuses.
Great Bombard is a devastating siege unit.
Unique units like Sipahi (fast cavalry for raiding), Mehter (support unit with auras), and Janissaries (powerful hand cannon infantry).
Weaknesses:
Reliance on Vizier Points needs careful management.
Slower early military production.
Vulnerable to early aggression.
Strategies: Feudal pressure with Sipahi, fast Castle/Imperial Age booms, Mehter support, and late-game siege pushes.
English
Strengths:
Strong Early Game with durable villagers and Dark Age Vanguard Men-at-Arms.
Longbowmen have long range, deploy palings, and can heal.
Network of Castles provides attack speed buffs for units near defensive structures.
Economic Efficiency with cheaper farms and passive gold from Enclosures in Imperial Age.
Weaknesses:
Predictable playstyle focused on Longbowmen and defenses.
Less mobile army.
Vulnerable to concentrated siege.
Strategies: Early Longbowman rushes, defensive booms, map control with Keeps, and naval dominance.
Matchup Considerations
The matchup typically involves English early aggression against Ottoman scaling.
Early Game: English tries to pressure with Longbows; Ottomans aim to survive with Sipahi and get Military Schools running.
Mid Game: Ottomans hit a power spike with Janissaries and siege; English needs to transition effectively with upgraded Men-at-Arms and Crossbows.
Late Game: Ottomans dominate with Great Bombards and mass-produced units if they reach Imperial Age; English relies on their strong farm economy and powerful Keeps to counter.
Key Tips: Scouting, smart Vizier Point choices, armor upgrades, utilizing Ottoman mobility for raiding, and effective siege use for both sides. The victor usually masters execution and leverages their civilization's strengths at the right time.
