paxbanks.blogg.se - Age of empires 2 build order scout rush

Villagers 11-14 go to build a lumber camp. I get both boars asap but try to have at least 3 villagers on sheep at all times. I build 2 houses and don't build the 3rd one until feudal. In fact in the game I attached where I lost the scout I made 1 more villager because I had the pop space and still managed an up time of 8:28.since a villager takes 25 seconds to create I believe getting to that magical 8:00 minute mark is possible. Maybe better players can manage to reduce or eliminate that gap altogether. One of the issues is a bit of TC idle time while waiting for food to hit 500. I believe I can probably improve it by a few seconds, maybe a pro can get that under 8 minutes even. Sure opponent defenses improve at higher levels but so can this strat (in theory).įastest up time I managed was 8:15. My only curiosity is if it's viable at higher levels.

The loss was to a Cuman player who had a great map and I couldn't prevent the 2nd TC. Mongol scouts are out quick, but with my strat so are Magyar scouts but they hit harder. even 2 scouts can make quick work of a couple of exposed villagers.

free forging - having that early power spike is so important.

Mongols get you up faster but don't save you any food, Magyars do. with Magyars it's important to really lean into their strengths and bonuses.

cheaper scouts - while they're not a massive discount, it still helps take some pressure off that early eco and the more scouts you make the more you dip into that bonus.

This actually happened in the game I attached so it's a great example. this is supported by the Magyar 1 hit-kill vs wolves meaning wolves will not slow down your villager.

walking the villager to enemy base reduces scout travel time - scouts pop out and are instantly in the fray.

In theory it shouldn't work BUT there are 3 factors that can get it over that hump in some cases: I lost the starting scout in this game, we were a lot closer than expected. The whole build revolves around the element of surprise.Īlso a note about the game recording, I'm obviously not a great player so there are definitely areas where the build can be improved. Please keep in mind it's a very memey build and very tight so don't expect too much from it.

So I thought I'd post the build and a game recording to go along with it. Some have expressed interest in this build.
