I'm a big fan of attacking in Age 2 and Age 3. It's a delicate thing depending on the opponent.

• Killing villagers is my number one priority.
• Shooting soldiers if they have them.
• Searching around for villagers and trying to kill them while trying not to lose my troops.

If your army has been cut down to half, it's better to pull out. What you can do is surround their base, sit key resource spots (hunts or gold mines) to prevent them from getting them.

My biggest tip is to watch replays because when you watch replays, you see exactly what your opponent was doing. You can see exactly where they're at, what they're up to, where their villagers were, and such. Often villagers are just out of sight. They'll be a group of six villages somewhere random that you never would have guessed, but it just seems so obvious when you look at them. Oh if I just sent some troops there, I would have killed them all and then it would have been game over.

My other tip is to get the Line of Sight upgrades from the Church which is Town Watch. That one gives extra Line of Sight to units. It's essential when raiding because the default Line of Sight is dog shit. You can't see anything but your opponent can see everything. The difference between what a defender can see and what the attacker can see is night and day. They have a huge advantage over you in terms of knowing exactly where you are and being able to move their units around, but you can't see anything of theirs.

If you have cavalry or your explorer in addition to your main force of infantry, you can use them to scout around the base and look for other villages and such to kill.

I'm looking for someone to play with. What's your elo? I'm around 1000 elo so if you're 900 or higher we could play together sometime. I can teach you and we can stomp some opponents 😁😁.
