my msn messager thing is
theras@earthlink.net...... i can mostly play on weekends only though.
portugese: your best option for a feudel attack would be a combination of skirmishers and spearmen and here's the best way to do it... this is the way i do it for byzantines, and if done correctly with byzantines and no idle towncenter time it will get you to feudel at exactly 11minutes and attacking at the 12 minute mark.... as you can imagine, using a civ such as the mayans, who start with an extra villager, will get you off to a quicker feudel. i'm assuming map is standard reveal, the one that starts off black.
1. as soon as the game starts, press HCCCC, this will highlight your towncenter, and queue up 4 villagers.
2. select 2 of your initial 3 villagers and have them build a house.
3. the 3rd of your initial 3 vilagers builds a house of his own.
4. with your scout, you want to move in concentric circles revealing more and more terrain, your #1 priority is identifying your initial 4 sheep, then keep scouting until you find, 4 more total sheep, 2 boar, one or 2 gold piles, 1 or 2 stone piles, and your nearest large wood source (by large i just mean a bunch of trees)
5. as soon as your villagers are done with thier houses, have them move to the towncenter, and start eating sheep. Only have them work on 1 sheep at a time, to minimize waste.
6. your 4th villiager should just be coming from the town center, send it to sheep
7. villager 5, sheep
8. villager 6, sheep
9. villager 7 chops a straggler tree around your towncenter
10. villager 8 is sent to the nearest forest to build a lumber camp, then chop wood.
11. villager 9 chops wood at your lumber camp
12. villager 10 chops wood at your lumber camp.
13. villager 11 goes to sheep.
14. villager 12 is sent towards one of your boars, building a house along the way... when he gets done with his house, have him attack the boar, as soon as the boar gets close, send the villager to your towncenter, this will lure the boar to your towncenter. you may royally suck at this at first like i did, and have your viillager die. but keep trying, because hunting boar is 280 food u dont want to leave sitting there. as soon as the vilager gets close to the towncenter, have your sheep vilagers drop thier food off at the towncenter, and attack the boar, killng it, then have all the former sheep villagers, and the boar lurer, eat the boar.
15. villager 13 goes to build a mill by your berries, then gather berries.
16. villager 14 works on the leftover sheep.
17. around now, send that villager who was chopping straggler trees around your towncenter, to build another house en route to luring your second boar, using your first boar hunters to eat it once it's near the towncenter. if your first boar isn't done yet, leave 2-3 villagers working on it while the rest eat the 2nd boar, and when they are done move them to the 2nd boar.
18. villager 15 goes to leftover sheep.
19. villager 16 goes to chop wood at the forest.
20. villager 17 goes to berries.
21. villager 18 goes to berries.
22. villager 19 goes to leftover sheep.
23. villager 20 goes to leftover sheep.
at this point you should have a population of 21, 4 villagers on sheep, 9 on boar, 3 on berries, 4 on wood, and a scout.
24. villager 21 builds a farm by your towncenter.
25. villager 22 builds a farm by your towncenter.
26. villager 23 builds a farm by your towncenter.
around now, your sheep and boar villagers should be about done... highlight them and garrison them all in the towncenter, this will drop off thier food.
click feudel button
ungarrison those villagers. send 3 of them in the direction of your enemy to build a house. send the 4 sheep villagers to build another lumbercamp, making sure it is about 2-3 farm lenghts from your 1st one... wheen they are done with it they chop wood.
all your boar villagers chop wood at either one of the lumber camps.
as soon as your 3 hosue builders are done with thier house, have them build a barracks. or if u dont have enough wood for a barracks yet, just move them towards the enemy until they have enough wood for a barracks, then make one... also have them make another house.
REACH FEUDEL.
as soon as u reach feudel. have the 3 forward villagers build an archery range, and another archery range when u have enough wood.
start makign villagers, the first 2 or so going to wood, then making farms with the rest... research double bit axe asap
as soon as your ranges and barracks are done, have them create skirmishers and spearmen, and use them to harrass your enemy and kill his villagers, try to make a blacskmith and get fletching and padded archer armor. build houses w/ the 3 forward vills.
after this get a lot of farms, get some gold, get to castle and kick asss with your huge eco advantage...
msn me if u want me to send u a recorded game.
i guarentee u the first few times u try this u will suck... but u gotta keep at it, a recorded game would really really help. msn me if u want one. if u are playing the conquerers expansion, harrass his villagers with your scout too.
