AOE2 21 pop Scouts into Knights build order

Essa é a primeira build order que aprendi no jogo e a que mais gosto de fazer, principalmente jogando de Franks. Vou manter em inglês pois isso aproxima o jogo da comunidade internacional.

Match start

Build 2 houses with 2 vills and another with 1 vill. Scout around the base to find: 8 sheeps, 2 boars, berries, deers, 3 golds, 2 stones; then, go scout the enemy base.

Dark Age

• 6 to sheep 🐑 (pop 7)
• 3 on wood 🪵 (1º LC – pop 10)
• 2 to lure boar 🐗 + sheep/boar under TC 🐗/🐑 (pop 12)
• 3 to house 🏠 + mill on berries 🫐 (pop 15)
• 1 to lure 2º boar 🐗 (pop 16)
• 1 to berries 🫐 (4 total – pop 17)
• 1 to house 🏠 + 2º LC 🪵 (pop 18)
• 1 to sheep/boar under TC 🐗/🐑 (10 total – pop 19)
• 2 to wood 🪵 (1º LC; 5 total – pop 21)
• Research loom + click Feudal Age (500 food)

On the way to Feudal:

• 3 TC to wood 🪵 on 2º LC (5 in one and 4 on another)
• 1 TC to house 🏠 at 40% + barrack ⚔️ at 60% + wood 🪵 (2º LC; 5 total on each).

TIP: only start making farms after reaching feudal age, otherwise you will run out of wood to make the stable. Send berry vills to farm as they run out.

Feudal Age

• Build stable 🐎 with 2 wood vills, make scouts
• Research double bit axe + horse collar
• 1 to on wood 🪵 (total of 10; 5 on each LC)
• 7 to farms 🌾 (chop TC trees and build farm as soon as hit 60 wood)
• 5 to gold 🪙 (around 14’ ~ pop 28)
• Research wheelbarrow (when 5 on gold – magic number) + build blacksmith
• Click Castle Age (800 food + 200 gold)

On the way to Castle:

• Research bloodlines + cavalry armor + gold mining
• Build 2º stable

Castle Age

• Make knights
• 2 more vills to gold (total of 7 to continue making knights)
• Drop 2 TCs on gold + wood
• Research bow saw

TIP: each TC cousts 275 wood + 100 stone; if you spend the inicial stone you will not be able to build the TCs, unless you collect more stone.

After 3 TCs: drop more stables on the front to continue building scouts. Consider droping siege on the front (especially hills) to breake walls + buildings.

When decision to go Imperial Age: build 2 of castle, university, monastery or siege workshop; invest on food + gold. Click Imperial Age (1000 food + 800 gold)

Collect the relics and drop castles on the hills to take control of the map and the strategic resources (gold and stone).

Imperial Age

Continue queueing villagers until ~140, leaving 60 pop to building a good and fully upgraded army.

Expand the base around the corners of the maps and take control of the hills.

Build trebuchets to break the enemy castle and other buildings/walls. Make sure to protect your trbuchets with your troops.

Don’t forget to research the economic and military upgrades to build the strongest army.
