now depending on your enemy’s attack, you can go into the imperial age real quick or delay it. 15-20 knights will suffice and can hold in real good stead. Soon after you go to the castle age, create knights as soon as you can. You must have had 3 stables in the feudal age. So that rallying from new town centres can be directed to the gold / stone collection. Then build 2 other town centres near the centres of gold and stone. build an university and research murder holes. Now in the castle age, first build a castle near your town centre to protect your base. You MUST reach the castle age within 22 mins. I go to the castle age with a population of 35/38. NOw set the rally point of the town centre to collecting wood. transfer 5 + 5 woodcutters to collect stone and gold(in that order). Now instead of setting NEW villagers to collect gold and stone. Build 2-3 stables as well as a market in the feudal age. So make sure you have a sufficient amount of wood to supplement for farms as well as new buildings necessary for progressing to the next age. Once the forage bushes have run out, you must build farms. …Build a barrack in the dark age itself before progressing to the feudal age. I normally go to the feudal at around 11 mins with a population of 27/28. when population reaches 18, make 3 villagers build a house. After population touches 15 ,set NEW villagers to collect wood. food collection can continue till production of 15 villagers.If sheep and other sources run out, build a farm near the forage bushes, and then luring of wild boar near the farm or town centre can also be carried out. now all the villagers from town centre are directly rallied onto the food collection. Remaining one villager should build 2 more houses. After building the first house, take 2/3 villagers from house building to collecting food from sheep.

Make all the 3 villagers build 1 house exactly… make the scout cavalry discover 4 sheep/turkey near your town centre.If you try a bit harder, you must discover 2 +2 more sheep nearby. – you will have to progress to the next age as quickly as you can. _ you will have to keep creating villagers continously so that you collect resources at a very good rate. This has been partly an offset of watching the computer’s own strategy while playing at the HARDEST level…. With its computer AI more improved and tougher than the one in AGE OF KINGS, i guess i could share my strategy with you folks out there…. Along with Cossacks, this game forever stands testimony to what could be called the best strategy game ever created…. Age of Empires- one of the finest strategy games ever to be made… Age of Empires- The Age of Kings and the Conqueror’s expansion is a strategy loving gamer’s delight.
