in dark age i get about 20 foragers and 18-ish lumberjacks. Now my strategy for building an early offense is different. i only defend until the imperial age when i become a good threat to anyone. i build castles by my walls ASAP and stock up on eagle warriors and plumed archers. then i add more farmers to a new town center or two. in the feudal i try to build a wall around my base and build about 4 barracks pretty close together (also archery ranges) then in castle i add a few more golders (till i have about 13) and some stoners (till i have like 10). eventually, i get like 8 golders and 5 stoners (lol). i get like 15 foragers and 15 lumberjacks in the Dark Age right away so that i can keep a long, strong economy in the longrun. i constantly scout the player with the highest score's base to make sure he/she isn't sending an early attack. I focus ONLY on economy for as long as possible. i can't really describe it, but i have a few recorded games that show my strategy in play. Sloppisloth, my strategy is basically a very flexible one that took me like a year to actually get familiar with it. probably be coming here more often now that i seem to have earned myself a place in the forum Have you tried heavy scorps? or massed scorps? maybe behind a shield of halbs or even skirms to stand a chance against plumed archers, that might work.Īlso, i sometimes use the combo of plumed archers and EWs, most of the time i have trouble with paladins (forget to, or dont build enough halbs) mass hussars might work, (really cheap)īut overall, i think vikings are just generally a weak civ, good naval, but ships cannot take down towns so pritty useless in the long run. Problem was, we realised that neither of us could get siege onagers and using trebs would take forever.Īnd saint mungo, thanks, its great to know i was remembered here on this forum (i mean, to be honest, i only ever come on here when i need serious help) Was a good tactic though, meat sheild for defence while we plough through the forest to take out neighbour (strongest opponent) Well if you remember, it was me(mayans) and chinese player vs byz, sams, brits (i think)Īnd basically, the chinese player was on the verge of giving up so we just accepted defeat and had that game rubbed into our faces.
