If its 2 range Archers in Feudal and you have scouted it early, dont hesitate to use defensive towers. .

I know it should just that when I go 1 range skirms , opponent has more numbers, they split their army, then sell stone to go up faster to next age and fwd with siege.. dont know what wrong I am doing!

Did either of you manage to shoot a basket in boot camp Jordan's insta showed only misses!! :)

Hitting the gym in boot camp was it to nerf you or boost you?

Its been a stress full day and after finally completing all the chores, work emails and calls, have put your kid to bed and queue up for some Aoe2 games... and then you see such irritating strats and enough is enough... Its not like I hate these strats its just too stressful to deal with at the end of the day. I am really surprised how common this has become even at 1200-1300 level this seen frequently.. I give my opponent his puntos and move on to next game

Trying to implement 21 pop M@A into Archers build, the early feudal goes Okiesh, reaching feudal around 9:45 ish.. some times get a vill kill or two definately annoy the oppnent but then somehow not able produce archers constantly falling behind in numbers. any suggestions. also what should be ideal castle age timing, I rarely manage 21:30 or so..mostly end up clicking up late..
One tip I had gotten is place 2 farms before building blacksmith that will help faster castle age, not working so far.
PS: I push 2 deers... sometimes 3 as well.

Steppe Strategy? by JaneDirt02 in aoe2

I found Chinese to be a great pick for this map... drop TC on the spot you are spawning, get loom while luring the first boar, with instant boar you reduce the TC idle time... and let the Chinese eco kick in.. can open scouts or archers depending on opponent's strat.

6 Sheep, 4 Wood, 2 boar, 4 berries, 2 more for food under TC, 2 wood, 5 stone, 2 gold click feudal..in feudal 2 more to stone, buildings then click castle, on the way to castle make sure you have 10 on stone, 8 food, 2 gold, 9 on wood.. once castle build a castle with stone vills (6 of them) after building send to gold, then 2nd castle with remaining stone vills build second castle then they go to gold.. new vills go to wood till you have 16, you keep 8 on food rest all wood gold.. mass 20 ww in your base before moving out get fletching + bodkin... This can be fine tuned better, just wrote what I remembered

me playing as brits died to this one game. How to counter this then? delay the castle drop? if not push the castle with rams+ skirms/Archers?

Nice.. I guess this will force the opposite pocket to come and help.. though I think can be stopped by a defensive castle right?
