Age of Empires 4 is well balanced, except for the Mongol town center rush exploit.

Hello dudes and dudettes. I'm the Spiffing 'Murican. Welcome to my extremely original video concept where I show off the most broken aspect of Age of Empires 4. If you rush the enemy with the Mongol's town center, you can win the game in the Dark Age, which is completely fine of course. I have no idea what the effective counter to this would be, I guess to decentralize your population enough that you can keep ahead of the town center? But the Mongol TC is also the fastest unit in the game for some reason. So you can't stay ahead of it for long. Naturally, I used this exploit to destroy the French. I didn't think anyone would have a problem with that.

If you think this is similar to the Spiffing Brit, but he didn'tmake this video, so I had to. Because this absolute garbage exploit is destroying online play. But it really felt like he should have made it. So if you are the Spiffing Brit, feel free to just re-upload this video to your channel. I don't think people would notice it isn't you.

    They should reintroduce the mechanic in AOE3 where you couldn't build enemy town center but only for Mongol starting TC

    Does anyone know if that Zapp Brannigan quote is a reference to Bistromathic travel from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy?

    Back in AoE 2 you can/could do basically this exact same strat as Persians and its very funny. They call it "The douche" because if you do it in ranked you're a douchebag.

    As always, the ungrateful colonies are copying the superior motherland, i hope the spiffing Brit sees this and gets the queen to smite you
