"Advance to the imperal age as fast as you can. AAfter you do that, reaserch chemestry and elete cannon galleons. Use them to blow up anything close to the coast (not just docks, they have 15 range!!) and keep the enimy destracted. After you do that, build an army of champeons, araalblests and elete unique units plus mayby 5 seige rams filled with champions and 7 trentubuts. then attack the distracted enimiy and kill them all! Mwhahahahahahahahahha!!!!!!!" - Xenklam of the Void

"I cannot stress how impotant range is. I had about 30 pikemen and they all got killed by hordes of skirmishers and a few scropions! That is why archers cost so much. In a large group, they can wipe out your opponent's rush easily. My pikemen had a bloody trail and I lost by as little: they still had a few scorpions. Archers are good in the long run. Archers still suck until you get hand cannoneers. If you don't have hand cannoneers, don't bother." - MigratedBunnyz

"Battering rams are not just used for bashing buildings. Bashing other guys are good too! They still get somewhat of an attack bonus. Against siege weapons, they rock. One hit K.O. on scorpions which makes them a pretty good defensive unit as well." - MirgratedBunnyz

"Try and get at least 70 villagers ,make many farms with them and use at least 15 villagers for each supply build up a lot of houses in the begining of the game and make a lot of trebuchets and cavalry units." - arrowshooter

"I dont know if this will work for others, but it has never failed me. Crank out heaps of villagers, and send them to gather everything in sight. Build all the buildings, research as many technologies as you can, and kill all your villagers. The delete button is very handy in these situations. Build a huge army with at least 5 trebuchets and 15 unique units, then go kill some enemies!" - Ratclaw
