Hello
I would like to start a discussion here, can we win in AoE 4 in Dark Age or Feudal Age? I hope so.
I mean multiplayer in PvP 1x1.
Because in AoE 2, players usually attack from Castle Age.
What do you think about it??.
I would like to ask developers and testers what they test AoE 4.
If you have won even in the first two times.
Thank you
AOE2 was old system with too powerful age3, AOM and AOE3 are already ok, people often attack from age2.
I think AOE4 is a new game will not have this problem.
It seems the game has a focus on dark age much more than before, in the dark age trailer we see spearmen, swordsmen, and cavalry, whereas aoe2 only has 1 age 1 unit
As for winning in the dark age or feudal ages however, likely more possible than aoe2, but still not as efficient as winning in castle, dark age winning probably won’t be possible, feudal age winning might be possible for certain civs, for example the French getting the royal knight in age 2 should let them have a good chance of ending the game early.
The devs put a lot more opportunities in the first 2 ages, so i would carefully say… yes you can win in these ages.
Greetings to the mongolians go out 
I hope a lot that there will be more Dark and Feudal age fighting
If you consider that now the age progress has been decoupled from the TC and is now done by building the landmarks…
My speculation is that the first landmark will not cost any food but only wood and gold,
this would be a huge scope to build other units then only villagers in the dark age.
You say you mean multiplayer and then say this, so you obviously have no idea about AoE2 meta
I like fast and action games.
I don’t like sitting in the village
Feudal rushes are incredibly common in AoE 2.
If AoE4 doesn’t make attacking in every age viable, then it’ll be a boring game.
It can make attacking in every age viable without winning in every age viable, for example if attacking in the dark age let’s say, can get you a nice advantage for a good amount of time then it’s viable.
That’s not true. In the most played maps, Feudal aggression is not only viable, but a necessity
Can’t agree with your statement about attacking only in third age, of course it’s much less likeable that you would win in dark and feudal ages, but flush is veeery common, I think even more than FC. Mainly to weakening your enemy, but some srtategies like dush, towerrush or cumam rush could win you (or lose) a geme before anybody hits CA.
Ithink it will be possible. devs probably wont answer you though, and players who were fortunate enough are probably not allowed to tell you 
I think they are aiming to make it much more time spent in each age, no longer 15min to get to Castle but maybe 30-45min if you are lucky
Not always, you can go for a FC, it is just harder. But if you do succeed than you get a huge powerspike over your opponent.
If something annoys me in AoE 2, it’s the boring dark age. The same build order is almost always used.
I hope for more variation in the AoE 4 dark age.
What’s so bad about looking after your town?
