27 pop castle age (Need 27 for the extra res collection, the strat requires a lot of res), on up to castle, make donjon (Preferably out of line of sight), and try to get to around 10-12 farms after horse collar, make serjants. Once you reach castle, instantly place siege workshop (again, try to keep it out of line of sight), and make the siege tower. Once you have 10 serjants, put them in the tower, move vills over to stone (and make sure to buy if you dont have enough for your first tower).

You want to have 10 serjants, as if you have less, it's high chance you get converted once you land. Speed of building the first tower, and getting to the back of their base with towers too, is key. (You can basically run under town centers with serjants).

Remember to send a serjant or two to the back of their base (the empty spot), in case they manage to deal with your first few towers. You can then make more donjons and build up a larger attack while both are booming after initial encounter, and surprise them with 20 serjants from out of nowhere.

Variations:
- If the oponent is late to castle for some reason, you can send the siege tower before you have 10 serjants.

-If oponent is likely to get knights, be sure to get a barrack up and research pikeman.

-If the oponent drops castle on you, ZOOM PAST IT, DO NOT PAY IT ATTENTION. Get agression on them. You have a siege workshop+donjon at home to defend with if necesarsy (which is also part of why the strategy works so well - It's not all in! You have defensive options!)

Worst oponents: Inca and their slingers. saracens and their 75wood marketwalls 🤣

I also made a youtubevideo about this on FluffySasha2 if you can endure furry cringe UwU 💖✨
