Aoe2 HD: Tutorial: Fast Castle Age, Knight Rush, Economic Boom
Ойындар
This is my tutorial video on how to execute a Fast Castle Age strategy "Fast Castle" and then transition into a Knight Rush "Crush." While Knight Rushing, I also simultaneously execute an Economic Boom "Booming" strategy, in which I build multiple town centers to quickly produce villagers. In this video I go over my build order as I play the Saracens on the map Arabia. The most important part of using any Rush strategy, is to not neglect your economy while you are building up an early military. If you enjoyed this tutorial, please check out my other videos, as well as my Twitter, Instagram, and Twitch TV accounts.

Just curious, did you never play this online? On the AoC Zone or whatever? This guy is good, but he's probably Elo rated 1800 tops, which is Intermediate. In fact, from what I remember, almost all of the best players began their rush in Feudal age. A castle age rush is more effective in multiplayer games because it doesn't sacrifice your economy as drastically.
Just found your channel last night and have been watching for hours. I used to play a lot of AoE back in the Internet Cafe day but mostly just endless games with my buddies.Just now am I picking up on all these strategies and details since I started playing again a month ago and have since played CK and EU. Thanks for all the awesome videos and continue the good work!
Your start building order and the boar pulling really helped me getting a proper early advantage. I found myself investing too much in eco technologies too early as well. Thanks for the help!
Wow, I usually wall myself off and try to build in fear. This is a whole other level of strategy for me
@richardbonnette490

Haha. I know this is an d post, but I totally relate to this. Usually I just love building my economy, gently focusing on upgrades always and everywhere, rarely building defenses. This tactic fails on moderate bot, so I have been looking for something equivalent and suitable. It does not help I have not yet learned the hot key for the town center ....
Holy shit this tutorial makes me feel like such a noob. I'll have to try this strat with Huns first, just to make it slightly simpler for my feeble mind.

Really helpful! Good job and can't wait to watch some more.
Amazing tips, this is a video was looking for, thank you.
First video I have really watched on AOE, thanks Resonance your content is great.
Thank you! Tried it, worked just like in your video. I did learn a great deal watching :)

this was fantastic. i hadnt played AOC for years and had gone rusty. Your video helped me tons!
Just been binge watching alot of your videos. and tbh i have to say they have really helped out alot. Thanks man :D
this is a great video. sometimes I find it hard to know exactly what to do but ive figured out its best to push than be pushed. top man thx.
love this vid. It's applicable to almost any strategy, and is great to get any beginner started on playing better :)
learned a lot watching this video. prioritise your defensive research over offensive in order to boost offence. set gather points for your stables at the opponents' lumber camps.
I played AOE 2 and Rise of Nations religiously when i was a kid! Was fun watching and learning about the game again. Thinking about buying it for myself as a birthday gift! Good video, liked how you explained what you are doing as you are doing it! leaving a thumbs up!
Awesome video bro thanks for the help!!

Get the outside wood camps with your first two knights. Keep adding knights per two to help. When you've blocked wood income go on to the other camps. When you have ~15 knights you can try to go for TC, optional is a forward Siege Workshop.

Cool strategy. looks like what i was doing but more organized and with much more efficient tips. It helped a lot! thanks
Hey that's a nice video. Was very useful as for me. Well I saw some moments I do myself like renovating lumber camps so they walk less or luring boars or stuff but yeah, I saw some new moments. Thanks.
Thanks a lot! This is really helpful; I'll use it as my guide. Thanks, again!
Thanks for this. Very useful vid.
Wow! You're so much faster at playing this game than I am. Well done! Thanks for the information. Take care, Sam.

on feudal you can throw more villagers to gold but i'd recommend that on dark (like he does) to only have 2 on gold
Great stuff man
Thank you so much for this! Today I played against my brother and won for the first time by a different way without building a wonder lmao. I went for the lumber camp like you did, then built a forward siege workshop and proceeded to wreak havoc. My brother was so angry that he didn't quit until I found all of his villagers haha. Cheers mate!
Great vidéo thanks for the tips !
Awesome tutorial thanks
this tutorial really helped. thank you :) i was online with someone and did this strategie and i won!!! :)

Don't worry dude, he is also not good. Normally a regular Castle Age is at 16 minutes. Anyway, this strategy doesn't work anymore against the new AI. He will attack you before 14 minutes.

For real? No wonder I keep failing... I've tried over and over to beat the AI at a knight rush lol
Holy crap, I just realized the key to acting faster is using Hotkeys... I just played an online match a few minutes ago and got Knight Rushed pretty badly. LOL This helped plenty.
thank you for this, really helping me
Very good! Thanks!
Awesome, man! Thanks for sharing this tips, see ya! :)
awesome tutorial , thank you from france bro !
Been a solid 10 years since I last played this game, it's a throwback installing the expansion again
This was great. Thanks for creating this content.
Great vid thanks.
good tutorial i never tried to do knight rush before
ur game playing is so smooth
that's like playing aoe 2 while on cocaine lol
very interesting gonna try it.
thanks a lot for this video!! I'm a super noob XD (elo is 1450s haha). I actually advanced to feudal as fast as possible then spent ages in feudal age and often got knight rushed or sniped by loads of archers/crossbowmen haha. this has helped me out loads and I'm already getting to castle age in 18 minutes. practising all the hot keys to make my time even quicker. but yeah super helpful video liked and subscribed man thanks a bunch!
his "all right" scares me D:
Very helpful, cheers!
awesome video m8
Thx for the tutorial it's very interesting
Thanks, this helped a lot
Sweet! thanks for the tip!
Excellent!
Very true! Every time I finally remember to get my Mining Camp upgrades at a reasonable time I tend to forget something else. It's something that I am working on. :)
very helpful thanks :)

That was a great tutorial "Aaaaaalright"
A good dark age boom is a boom without a second of idle tc / vils. Some remarks: - only have two/three vils on the first house - immediately move one sheep and one vil to under the tc - when luring boar / herding sheep, move them under your tc - the one vil that finished the houses can go for the close trees while you get up to 6 on sheep, move her to build the lumber camp as soon as you hit 6 vils on sheep. - the next two houses should be built by only one vil, move the others to the sheep - start the barracks at 55-60% feudal age researched
Fantastic!! :D Tnx!! :D
(travisslipf18) really enjoy your videos this one i came back to to improve my knight rush and I came across your scout technique which I have long admired.I was using way points either in patrol or otherwise (which i believe leads to a bad habit of neglecting the scout) and noticed that you did not bother with that. In this video you pointed out that you use the mini map to keep your scout moving once he is beyond your local town center area. This was a great revelation now I play games just to practice this and I have been able to find the enemy camp easier.

I was beating the computer on hard but with this technique I beat the hard computer pretty much at will.
food is most important in the beginning is what i learned, but i get the whole concept
Long games are super fun. Rushing is interesting, but I love watching big battles.
awesome!
Nice ,TY
I used to play the Aztecs and Britons in conquerors I became very efficient at countering the Hun cavalry rush. The way to counter is exactly what he did but focus on pikemen and their upgrades by feudal age jumping to castle is 1st priority the once you counter the rush hit his gold mines and he will struggle in rebuilding his knight rush, you can basically cripple them that way.
Nice !
Great Video. I always wanted to know what how this rush is possible.
Im keen on my scrimmage with the fam you have a pretty good strategy going here
Thanks for this! I wonder how this might be different on Black Forest though.
Thanks, but that was a joke Resonance x) good stuff though. I'm loving your videos. I've subbed since Illuminight.
