"If you play online you will notice that people usually strike early so all you have to do is take about 10 villagers and move them to another area and sart rebuilding just buildings you will use . Also make little camps with palliside walls spread out all over the map and guard them with watch towers , guard towers and keeps. And always use the water patrol it and find islands that are hard to reach and build little towns on them. Online distract an enemy by get in small sea battles
while you take a large force in the backdoor. Follow these tips and you will win." - Maninthemoon
"great tactic preferably in black forest map is to gather a lot of stone than built stone walls as far from your base as possible and bearable,build towers as much as possible,build nearby the baracs archers and stables,and ironmongers and defend the walls.
This way u will cut enemy of resources.
make sure u got some light cavalery there to destroy enemies catapults" - Elflord

"hiya mom! im on the internet!....... sorry. wat i always du is make blockz
of towerz (at least 4... 2 keeps and 2 bombard towers) then if u have a fast
unit attacking (horses, eagle warriors .etc) then the keep will get im.... and
if u have slow units attacking (monkz, seige weapons .etc) then then the bombard
tower will get im!

"When playing islands, build a strong navy.... use heavy dem. ships and fast
fires to destroy the enemy navy then use elite cannon galleons to destroy their
docks. Everytime you see a dock being built, destroy it. Build a wonder on your
Island and wait for the years to go by while continuing to destroy the enemy
docks." - Casey
