| 3s | Let's take a look at |
| 4s | how easy it is to turn a small town into a thriving empire |
| 8s | while playing Age of Empires IV with an Xbox controller. |
| 12s | The first thing we're going to want to do is root out any idle villagers |
| 16s | and set them to work. |
| 17s | If you look down to the bottom of the screen, you can see the d-pad quick |
| 21s | selection options. At the top, with D-Pad up, |
| 25s | we can find our idle villagers. By tapping up on the D-Pad, |
| 29s | it will cycle through all of our idle villagers, |
| 32s | and by holding up we can select all of them at once. |
| 36s | Let's set them to work for now. |
| 38s | We've added lots of automation features |
| 40s | to make managing your empire far easier. |
| 43s | At the top of the screen where we see our resources, |
| 46s | we can also see to the right the villager priority system distribution. |
| 50s | We can open this with left trigger and right stick together |
| 53s | to see all of our villager priority system presets. |
| 57s | These presets automatically tell our villagers |
| 59s | what to gather when that created and manage our economy for us. |
| 63s | All we have to do is tell it which preset we want to use. |
| 67s | Let's use the economic preset. |
| 69s | This is a focus of food with a little bit of wood and a little bit of gold. |
| 74s | I'll select this now to engage that. |
| 76s | We can see that next to our resource panel, the distribution has updated. |
| 80s | If we want to tweak this at all, we can also press right |
| 83s | on the d-pad to enter a custom preset. |
| 86s | Here we can tweak the amount of food gold, wood or stone. |
| 90s | So let's add a little bit more wood by tapping A couple of times to increase |
| 93s | the amount of what gathered. |
| 95s | Our villagers will now automatically gather |
| 97s | the resources in the quantity that we have decided. |
| 101s | But that's not all. |
| 103s | If we select our town center, we're going to want to train a lot more villagers. |
| 107s | But it's hard to remember to keep training villagers |
| 110s | all the time, so we can automate that too. |
| 113s | If we open the radial here, |
| 115s | we can see at the bottom there is the auto train villagers toggle. |
| 119s | This is currently off, but if we engage it, our villagers will automatically |
| 123s | be trained from this town center until we turn it off at a later time. |
| 127s | If you look down to the bottom left, you can also see that |
| 130s | if you hold X, you can turn on or off the auto train |
| 134s | villager toggle. |
| 136s | With our villagers automatically being created and automatically assigned, |
| 140s | that leaves us to focus on empire building. Now with more villagers coming out |
| 146s | we're going to need to provide more housing, so let's build some houses next. |
| 150s | I'm going to select once these villagers from the wood line |
| 153s | and I'm going to tell them to build some houses. |
| 155s | I'll open up the build radial with the right trigger once again. |
| 159s | And here we can see all of our building options. |
| 161s | At the very top there is house. |
| 163s | We can select the house from here |
| 165s | and place it down in the world for our villager to build. |
| 169s | A villager won't be picked up by the villager priority system again |
| 172s | until they've finished construction. But we're not done yet. |
| 175s | Let's add some more houses. |
| 177s | Once again, if we look down at the bottom left, |
| 179s | we can see that house is actually a quick option. |
| 182s | So let's hold X to bring up the House blueprint once more. |
| 186s | And this time let's build more houses. |
| 188s | One just isn't enough. |
| 190s | If we hold left trigger, we can build multiple buildings in one go. |
| 194s | By holding left trigger and tapping a multiple times, |
| 198s | the villager will build not one but four houses for |
| 201s | however many times you tap A. |
| 204s | And once completed, they'll get straight back to work. |
| 208s | That concludes this little video. |
| 210s | But with these tips and tricks, |
| 211s | you'll be building massive, thriving empires in no time. |
