This video provides a comprehensive guide on a build order and strategic gameplay for the Ottoman civilization in "Age of Empires IV." It is recommended for players at all skill levels and covers several important aspects:
1. **Early Game Strategy**: The speaker emphasizes an early aggression tactic. The sequence includes queuing villagers for resource gathering (stone and food initially) and building essential structures like houses and mining camps. Scouting the enemy’s stone resources to disrupt their plans is crucial.
2. **Resource Management**: Efficient allocation of villagers to gather gold, food, and wood is discussed, aiming for a fast age-up process. The speaker highlights balancing resources for economic upgrades and early military production.
3. **Military Production and Infrastructure**: The focus shifts to producing large groups of archers and setting up military schools for continuous unit production, supported by archery ranges and a blacksmith. This ensures a robust early game defense and sets the stage for a powerful timing push.
4. **Advanced Military Strategy**: Preparing for a battering ram timing push and securing key upgrades like Siege Engineering are key points. The speaker mentions handling counter-attacks and expanding military infrastructure safely.
5. **Scouting and Adaptation**: Scouting the opponent and adjusting strategies by switching production in military schools is emphasized. The video also references strategies involving different unit types like horsemen, archers, and spearmen, and how the Ottomans fare against specific enemy rush strategies.
The overall conclusion suggests that the discussed build order and strategy are effective, gaining popularity, and relatively easy to manage compared to other civilizations like the Chinese and French. The video also includes a recommendation for viewers to check out additional content from Beastie for a more detailed Ottoman civilization overview.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses a build order for the game using the Ottoman civilization, which is recommended for players of all skill levels. The sequence begins by queuing four or five villagers in the town center and assigning villagers to gather stone and food. The focus is on an early aggression strategy that is effective against any civilization and can be used on any map. The speaker emphasizes the importance of gathering sheep with the scout and collecting 150 wood for a house, a llama camp, and a mining camp. Villagers are assigned to food first and then to gold to minimize walking distance and optimize resource collection. For a more advanced tactic, the speaker suggests being aggressive by scouting out the enemy, specifically targeting their stone resources to disrupt their development plans.

In this segment of the video, the player is focusing on resource management and strategic planning in a game. They begin by assigning villagers to gather gold and wood, ensuring a balance with ten on food and four on gold. They identify the enemy Town Center’s location and safely rally their units. The player aims for a fast age-up with five villagers and ensures their sheep are close to avoid losses. They target a dual resource spot with gold and stone, adjusting their strategy to gather 250 gold and then 100 stone. The collected gold will be used for early upgrades, focusing on maximizing efficiency from a single Town Center. The player shifts villagers to various resources as needed and plans to drop another house to avoid being housed. They prioritize early economic upgrades like wheelbarrow and double broad axes, and start preparing for military production by setting up an archery range.

In this part of the video, the focus is on optimizing resource allocation and unit production in a real-time strategy game, likely “Age of Empires IV” with the Ottoman faction. The player explains their strategy of managing villagers and resources: keeping one villager on stone, rallying villagers to food (specifically sheep), and constructing a blacksmith. The main goal is to mass-produce archers, emphasizing the strength of large groups of archers (or “Archer balls”). The player discusses balancing villagers between food and wood, maintaining military production with military schools set to produce spahis, and preparing for future gold upgrades. They stress the importance of expanding infrastructure by adding archery ranges and houses. The strategy ensures a strong early game defense, allowing for a powerful timing push with a substantial army, while balancing resource collection for sustainability.

In this part of the video, the focus is on managing villager distribution to optimize resource gathering, particularly shifting some to gold earlier, and on preparing for a battering ram timing push. The player emphasizes the importance of getting Siege Engineering to make effective advances. They encounter a counter-attack and respond by repositioning units and continuing with upgrades. The strategy involves setting up a third military school, placing it safely despite being aggressive, and typically using multiple battering rams for the push. The segment concludes by discussing the timing and power spikes for the Ottomans, especially during the mid-feudal and early castle ages, and comparing the ease of this build order to others, such as the Chinese and French.

In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses the simplicity of managing certain civilizations and refers viewers to a detailed video by another YouTuber, Beastie, for an in-depth Ottoman overview. They highlight the importance of scouting the enemy to counter strategies effectively, particularly mentioning the use of barracks and switching military schools to adapt to enemy forces. The speaker elaborates on strategies involving mass horsemen, archers, and spearmen, emphasizing the challenges of dealing with weaving spearmen into an army. They also touch on the effectiveness of the Ottomans against the Burgrave rush strategy due to their strong cavalry and spearmen, enhanced by “The Meta” for added armor. The video concludes with a brief note of appreciation and an indication that this strategy is gaining popularity.
