Step-by-Step Guide

  1. Step 1: Think about of how big your army should be and how much resources you want to spend.

    Because you can't spend all your resources.

    When your troops will get killed and you don't have any resources left and your enemy realizes that, you will lose.

    Usually you can use 2/3 of your available resources.
  2. Step 2: Build more than 1 Barrack.

    If you have only 1 barrack, the building of troops can take a little bit of time.

    Build 4 to 6 barracks, then with only one Shift+click and all barracks selected, you will have 20 or 30 skirmishers that will fight for you.

    The resources go away fast, but you can pump out troops really fast and it's also useful to build a fast defense, if your enemy is attacking you. , They are strong and are the key of your army.

    Build at least 50 of them.

    They will shoot every enemy who is in their way.

    To support your musketeers against other infantry, build some cannons.

    They will shoot all the enemy infantry away and your troops get a better survivability.

    You can not specialize your troops on one unit.

    To attack successfully, you will need everything.

    Some units more than others. , 50 musketeers 5 – 10 cannons 20 pike men 20 melee-cavalry This is a very good little army.

    I always try to kill the enemy cannons first.

    I even attack the enemy cannons with my own cannons.
