Hey guys, I would like this thread to be a hub of possible strategies that could arise from starting in Castle Age.
Even though Megarandom, I would prefer this thread to be about strategies with a 1-TC start.
I'll give you some examples:
Turks could do some serious early damage with their initial Light Cav (think about the laming possibilities!)
Aztecs and Mayans "real" eagle warrior could also come handy, maybe even alllowing for the double boar steal (in case there are even two of them).
And imagine how much damage even a single cav archer or knight could do in the first minutes.
The mezo civs could even spare the wood of two military buildings and go for a barrack and 2 additional eagle warriors.
An early Siege workshop and a mangonel could also be an option.
We could even see something like a 15-villager siege-monk-rush.
Or you could just stonewall your base at minute 5.
Someone might prefer to get a second town center very very early.
Consider also:
Crossbows need an upgrade and are therefore not an option for really early aggression.
For the same reason, on grush-maps Fireships could be OP at least the first 15 minutes.
Feel free to comment on anything I've mentioned.
So, lets brainstorm together!
Let's fill this thread with some crazy ideas :twisted:
