Need a boost? Place a Fishpond!

What did you think?

A monk casts a glowing aura over a stone-lined fishpond, and nearby villagers turn golden as they gather resources. For Age of Empires, a small economic boost is getting more daily attention than the grander business of introducing an expansion.

The official franchise channel posted nothing new this week, but "Need a boost? Place a Fishpond!" is its busiest upload for daily views. The brief gameplay showcase moves from a natural pond to water lilies and a fishing net, then shows the effect reaching the workers around it. No presenter required, just villagers getting on with the job.

Raiders of the North supplies the other main pocket of activity. Its launch trailer has passed 100,000 views, while a separate adventure-themed clip is drawing viewers faster at the moment. These are the publisher's promotional showcases for Age of Empires IV's expansion, which adds Vikings and Scots, Scottish Heathland and Tundra Summer biomes, and four Crucible missions playable solo or in two-player co-op.

The channel collected roughly 47,000 views over the week, almost the same weekly total as Football Manager. Subscribers held steady, and daily viewing is below its usual level. Elsewhere among nearby-sized gaming channels, Warhammer 40,000 is having a substantially busier week. Here, the activity is quieter and pleasingly practical: a northern expansion to explore, and a fishpond demonstrating what it can do.
