Deathmatch

Well, maybe you never dreamed about rushing others with Goths, because most rushers use Mayans, Huns, but you might not see people use Goths. But let me tell you, Goths are one of the best rushing civilizations. It produces an infantry called Huskarls, which is produced 50% faster than other units. They are cheap and arrows from castles, longbows and archers are actually harmless against them. That makes them good against Britons. Now, you might ask me how to rush others with Goths. First, send 2 villagers to build houses, and 1 villager to build barracks. At the same time, keep building villagers at the town center, they will be very useful. After 1 barracks is built, set the rally point at the enemies base, ( if you don't know where the enemies base is, you should send your scout out to find them in the beginning of the game) and keep building huskarls and send them to the enemy. Keep on doing this and your enemy wont have time to react. (Hint: Concentrate your huskarls on killing villagers so the enemy can't build defensive buildings in time. Also take out the Town center to stop the enemy from building more villagers.) If the rush is not that successful, quickly send some villagers to build castles near the enemies base and keep on building huskarls and trebs. Put huskarls in front of the trebs, and order the trebs to destroy castles, this strategy should work. If there is a lake near by the enemies base, take it over and build cannon ships in it. That will secure your victory. If there are more than 1 enemy, after you destroyed 1 of them, pull back, and start economy, and let your allies do the job. After you got your money back, build bombard cannons and huskarls and trebs and go help your ally.

If you got any problem about what i just said please ask questions in the forum page and ill answer you back shortly. If you got any cool strategy about dm or rm, feel free to submit your strategies to me here.

Well, I haven't figured out how to write about Huns rushing yet.... So if you know how to rush with Huns, please submit your strategy to me. well, Hun is a cool rushing civ. and there are lots of ways to rush, but it depends on the civ you're against. first, fill TC with villagers, then build 5 or more stable with two of you're villagers, and the third villager build some barrack, halberdier is probably needed when rushing ( I think ). after all the stables r done, make as many as u like, more than 50. don't set the point right onto enemy's base, unless u know what he's making. after a paladin searched enemy base then u can send all your paladins in there with hal. when you're rushing, get 10 villagers to build castles right next to enemy's base, and build treb. which u can use after enemy is wounded. of course, u need tons of villagers in your TC to work as fast as u can to get gold, food, and maybe wood if you're creating some cav. archer for protecting for treb. gold is really needed during this rush.

In the Age of Kings, the Franks were the best in dm games, but in the conquerors, the Franks become weak...I still think that Franks is a strong civilization in Dm. Franks can beat all civs easily except Aztecs, Britons, Mayans, Turks and Persia. Franks can't rush, but they can prevent a rush. When game starts, make villagers at tc, then send one villager for houses, one for castle and one for stables. Do not explore the map with your light cav, u need it to defend ur home. When the 2nd villager comes out, send him for houses. Send the 3rd villager to build archery ranges and 4th to build seige workshops. U don't need to build barracks unless the enemy is Persians. Make only 20 villagers, 80 paladins, 50 hand cannoneer, 35 skorpions and 15 trebs. When you are pop limit, attack ur enemy. Put paladins in front of the cannon man and skorpion and... u know what to do... Pals + cannon men + skor can beat every units except longbowmen, eagle + plumb and wagons + koreans seige onagers. Goths can't beat Franks unless the Goths rush very well. Build walls to block the way before they can rush u. Build many outposts (15-30 recommmended) around ur b! ase. In bf, when ppl dig tunnel, u can see that tunnel... I test this strat before, and the chance of winning is about 75%, another 15 % depends on luck... Good Luck then!
