Anonymous PlayerMemberAs a child, I played Age of Empires in single player mode, focusing on research and waiting until I reached the Imperial Age to start building an army. I stopped playing until a friend introduced me to the Definitive Edition a few months ago, and now I am addicted to playing multiplayer. Although I initially struggled and dropped to a rank of 750, I have steadily improved and recently reached a rank of over 1000 due to a four-game winning streak. Although I am still a new player compared to others, I feel good about my progress.
In addition to general game tactics such as keeping my Town Centre running and minimizing idle time for my villagers, I have found that following u/SurvivalistAoE’s advice on spending wood has been particularly helpful. Specifically, I focus on quickly building farms in early Feudal Age and aim to have 14-15 farms by the 14-15 minute mark, allowing me to reach the Castle Age with Wheelbarrow technology around the 20-minute mark and start training double stable Knights.
Another strategy that has been successful for me is attacking with a small force of 2-3 scouts in early Feudal, and then reinforcing with additional army by setting a gather point forward. Once I have a slightly larger force, I usually split it into two groups. One group that I heavily micro to distract and harass enemy defensive units, and another group that I send to a known eco area such as a woodline or gold mine. This two-pronged attack is super stressful for the opponent and often results in a quick surrender.

bbsuccessGuestThis is cool! I started a week ago after a 20 yr absence and I’m surprised at how shit I am.
I’ve fallen to 670 ELO.. bottom 8% in the world. I remember 20 yrs ago smashing my friends and thinking how good I am at the game… This week has been a big wake up call!
My castle times are super slow.. about 20mins. And everyone rushes these days where I was used to being the only rusher back in my day.
So much to learn… But so much fun.

DurDaubsGuestI usually only spend enough time in Feudal to build a stable/range + market + castle research time.
If it’s a closed map 2-3 minutes.
