I was killed by an opponent who dropped a town center on me within the first two minutes of the game.

I am unsure which civilization they were playing as and how they managed to do this so early on.

Do you think this is considered cheating?

This strategy is normally known as a douche – you delete your first towncenter and build it on your opponent’s face.

Typically persians are a favorite for this due to their town centers having double the hp (and consequently half as expensive to repair).

Any civ can do it but they are really the only ones with a true advantage.

For defending against it, its generally best to not repair your tc (it is very expensive to repair a tc), or try to fight back and just collect enough resources to make a new town center right after yours goes down.

If they drop their tc on you again you just repeat.

Their economy is behind yours because they had to walk all their vils across the map and also garrison them in a tc for an extended period of time so if you can hold and stay even then you should be winning.

Also, delete any farms you have that are under their new tc so they cant steal them.

One side note, it is worth it to repair your tc if you have clicked feudal, and only til feudal completes.

I have been doing this for last 20 games …free elo honestly….very few ppl defend against it well

Any civ can do it, but it’s mostly done with the Persians, as they have double HP TCs.

If you delete your starting TC, you can rebuild it anywhere, even in the Dark Age.

build some houses 5-6 tiles away with 3 tiles space from your TC bro

if he comes too close you shoot the vills he uses to construct

if there is a house he needs to construct too far away and can not reach your TC

also you have 3 tile space to do farms around your TC

also you can tell that he comes because the scout is up your derriere constantly in dark age

IF it goes up EVADE build a mill either around berries and deer, he will not cover both, eat boar there too, hide your woodline walled far away in corner
