"If you want to weaken your enemy before the big charge you can train 15-20
cavalry archers. Just ride up to your enemys town and shoot so many villagers
and soldiers you can and then ride away. All you have to remember is to watch up
for catapults and closed corners. Since the cavalry archers is among the fastest
troops in the game you dont have to worry about being caught as long you are
staying awake. When you killed as many as you want or your archers are getting
attacked by an enemy they cant withstand you just retreat into your well
fortified city. This way you can kill a large part of your enemys villiagers
or/and amry without even get a single causultie.
Civilisations well equiped for this sort of warfare is for example the saracens,
mongols or the byzantines." - weeey
"From my view point, I think you can take any civilization to the victory,
without mattering if this is better or worse than that, but that doesn't mean
you don't have any favourite, of course not.For example, the one I play more
with is the Spanish. If you are a beginner, this advice will be good for you.
Never allow an eagle warrior attack your conquerors, because although they fight
with fire weapons, their aim isn't very good at distance, and the eagle warriors
have double hazard: they are fast and they fight with a kind of pike, and that
is deadful for horses.
Artilled galleons are not as good as they seem to be when you are attacked by
them. If you own a navy and you have artilled galleons among your ships, they
will be the first to be the most damaged or will wreck before. Why? Because
artilled galleons are only able to attack from the distance, are slower and
weacker than a normal galleon.
Spanish civilization provide a very useful tech you should take vantage of.
Improvements in your soldiers armours and weapons don't cost any gold. I advice
you in develop these techs as soon as possible, over all the ones that improve
your towers and archery shoots and aim. In the Feudal Age, build aTower and a
Blacksmith as soon as possible and develop that tech. You may be able to defend
without spending your resources in cheap weak soldiers, but have some avaliable,
if the enemies destroy the tower.
Build not only a wall but a double wall when you are able to. If you are OK in
the Castle Age, go ahead but I recommend to build the wall complex (with Bomber
Towers between the two walls) in the Imperial Age. If you can, fortify your
castle with a wall, and a Tower in each corner.
That's it, I finish here. If you don't understand some of my words, you should
forgive me. I'm not English speaker." - Friar Karate
