Is there some mod to learn build orders like in AoE 2?

[Uhtred son of Uhtred]

I'm looking for scenearios to learn build orders like the Cicero Mod for AoE 2. Does it exist in AoE 4?

With AoE IV 's 'amazing' mod support capabilities ?! ma boy the 'essence' scenario editor is a total mess most non hardcore programmers can't be bothered to even work with, while solid support for safely enabling multiple mods like you can have in AoE 2 DE is quite a far off dream.

All it has for now is a bunch of 'tweak packs' that rein in the most ♥♥♥♥♥♥&glaring issues the game's devs have left unaddressed till now... so realistically its best to check back in 6 to 12 months perhaps by then things will improve.

Nowadays the game is in decent enough shape but improving the scenario editor&adding single player focused content are rather low priority for them atm.

There isn't even a Steam Workshop for Aoe4, or is there?

Mods are managed ingame. It's the same for AoE 2 and 3 DE.

Dude, just answer the question.

@OP: There's sadly no Interactive Build Order Guide for AoE 4 but https://www.aoeivbuilds.com/ has builds for all civs.

They contain a couple of scenarios that teach basic build orders such as Scout Rush, Archer Rush, Fast Castle into Knights etc. The scenario also grades you depending on how fast you can do certain things within the build.

In this video, the mod's creator shows how to get a A+ rating on the Scout Rush build:

Thats a very cool feature. Yeah i´d wish a mod or relic would do it in Age 4 too

...

How does it going Grraf?

Still fighting Your fight against windmills?
(aka against AoE4, in the name of AoE2 DE)

[grraf]

@Lotor13 well i maybe fighting against windmills at point(AoE IV launched as a turd and should have shared the fate of a turd instead of being given a chance to be salvaged.... there is something to be said about not congratulating your dog for ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ on the carpets) but its not in the name of AoE 2 DE i'm doing it but in the name of actual decency and moral standards i don't want nor need ♥♥♥♥♥♥ bottom of the barrel game launches to become the standard for the AoE series like the ♥♥♥♥♥♥ FiFA series (where they can't even be bothered to do more then update player rosters and sell the same bug riddle game once again to the brainless masses)

Make no mistake letting ♥♥♥♥ just slide only encourages them to put even less time&effort in the next title of the series...but wtf do i know guess its great to have a game get 'finished' 2 yrs after its launch and ship a buggy mess instead on day one

I mean, ppl literally told you a couple of times now that your opinion towards AoE 4 is known.

Does the game have flaws that need to be pointed out in a constructive way? Hell yeah.
However, if you can't add anything to the conversation apart from the things you wrote 1000x before, you should ask yourself if it actually makes sense to make yet another post on the forum.
