I was playing Turks against Bohemians on Arena, so I quickly built a castle and placed troops outside their gold mine.
Unfortunately, I noticed their gold mines were very close to my castle, making it difficult to defend.
I had Jannis and Mangos, but I kept losing my Mangos to theirs.
To counter this, I switched to Light Cav and Rams and destroyed one of their Town Centers.
They kept defending until I was able to upgrade to Imperial Age and deploy Bombard Cannons, which ultimately won me the game.
I couldn’t have asked for a better map, but it was still a win against the tough AI.
