Great stuff Drongo. Your presentation was really clean and the build order felt easy to follow. I'd love to see you do more of these.

[jeansvanjeansington]

Could you showcase a couple of games with early agression from your opponent? It would be really helpful to see to handle that with this build order (2tc and 3tc).

Thank you for taking your time and also sharing your benchmarks as well as the build order. What a great quality of Know How! As always great to watch (as an english player from Germany
;)

You're the reason I got back into AOE. Thanks mate!

[danielulrich]

So what happens when you're playing another English and he's got men at arms attacking your stone at 1:30? No military 8+ min into the game seems like suicide

I'm just bought AoE4 recently and have been learning English and HRE. Might focus more on English now since I've been trying to find a good way to fight early. Thanks!

Rush destroys this strategy, by the time you get to castle and make your first unit the rusher has a whole army and has harassed the hell out of your vills

[abhishekab]

Nice guide. Did I miss something or did you not do wheelbarrow till castle age? Would nt it improve the times here if you went early WB?

[janebeaney]

Tried this today and totally destroyed lol wow ty man!

[tommyboi]

Ty Aussie i won my first 1v1 match using this guide

[dreips]

I am new at this game and I've gone and tried this tutorial and practiced it 5-10 times and I got to Castle Age 30 seconds after you did. Is that good?

[Akk]

And another great guide!

But as a total noob (gold 1) I'm wondering what do u do if the enemy rushes you?
And what am I supposed to do if my enemy plays a build like this and I want to rush?

[KillerFISH]

I’d love to know when exactly you started churning out units. You hit castle age and then I blinked and then you had an army??? When did you build military buildings?

[kimg]

Having 3 tc’s and a lot of workers is great against rams - but later in the game those tc arrows don’t always hurt that much (mass knight and hre)

[will]

don't worry Drongo the AI Hardest can't hurt you anymore.. Now it's the AI Outrageous.. :)

[dashvandelay]

I usually go farms immediately and get wheelbarrow in dark. I usually hit castle around 10min. I wonder how inferior what I'm doing is compared to this.

Granted I play team and min/max probably isn't as super important. Just something nice about going farms right away and not having to worry about sheep.

[mountolympus]

Awesome guide! I would just like to see how you continue the 2TC build from this point on.. when would you go imperial, how would you secure gold for the late game and would you stil build on a stronger defense (english onion ;))

[jasonmraznumfan]

Now I really need to know the beef between you and the AI

[chrisnewtownnsw]

build orders are crutches or training wheels but eventually you'll wanna be like theviper where you don't use them and just play less efficiently but more correct in counter play which ironically makes you more efficient than a canned build order. That's the paradox

[iambw]

hi! how do we protect against early aggression on wood using this build order ?
