Tips And Info For AOE

RUSHING is technique where u build a few units very quick before your enemy has chance to make his own army

First if u want to rush the best civ to choose is Persian this is because of their VERY fast elephants. At the start of the dm (deathmatch) u have 3 villies (villegers) and a tc (towncenter). First thing start 1 villi building bout 10 -15 stables. Selct the tc and start building about 7-12 villies. Then get another viliis building 4 to 6 more tc's. Use your other villi to start building houses. By now one of the stables is built start building war eles (elepahnts) bout 3 from that stable for now. Another villis has come out the tc get him biuldng the stables. One more tc if finished get 10 more villis biulding from there.When the 2nd villis comes out the first tc get him biulding 1 storage pit (near your tcs) 2 markets and 3 gov centers. As i just mention their it is important when rushing rushing to biuld your building near your base becasue the more the villi s have to walk the less sucessful the rush will be. As each tc is finished get 7-12 villis building from it.Once your storage pits gov centers etc are finished get all the villis who are free to start biulding the stables. As soon as u have 5 eles send them out.

If u are good and lucky as well :) u should hit their base with 5 eles when they have hardly no defences and little army if any at all. Get eles destroying villis most. keep pumping out the els and every 5 u have send them to the enemys base. If u hit them by bout 4 mins u have a high chance of a sucessful RUSH. Once the first 15 stables are built biuld 15- 20 more. Also then build 20-30 seige workshops. After the entail rush (30 odd eles) the enemy will be busy trying to build an amry. U bring in your cats and that should finish them off. If u are playing a 2v2 or 3v3 or even a 3v1 or 2v2v2 it is best to have a partner who is Hittite. Why this works because Hittite are good at long games and have strong cats. Persain as the game goes on become weaker and weaker but are amazing at the start. At the start the Persians attack early taking out 1 person probably and in the later stages the Hittites protect the Persians and dominate with their hvy cats (catupults)

In a long match the key is resource mangement. The person who can keep pumping units out is the one who is gonna win. Its differcult to say how many u should have on each resource (wood, food, stone & gold) this really is governed by what sort of game u are playing. If u are playing agaisnt some one who is Hittite for example u are gonna want to biuld either eles, or even more cats. If u are gonna use eles then u are gonna need farms. The best way to set up farms is to find a empty space then build a TC then poistion the farms in a circle around the TC repeat this precess till u have the right amount of farms
