Scout Rush Tips
Step One ~ Your Opening:
You will need to adapt to the game you are playing, but I like going 25 pop. with 4 farms. This way you can add an archery range right away. I also like to do a 25 pop start with 6-8 farms, but if you do this you won't be able to add an archery range right away. I like this strategy because you can usually get 8-10 scouts right away and then research bloodlines. That way when you attack, even if he has 2 or 3 spears at his wood camp it won't matter. Using this strategy usually involves some walling and using your 200 stone on a tower. The main thing to remember is that you will need more farms earlier if you are making scouts first.
Step Two ~ Raiding:
The key to this strategy is to harass your opponent's economy so that you can gain an early advantage. The thing I like about going scouts first is that when you micro properly you can get a good advantage on your opponent in most games. You need to hit him where he is most vulnerable, i.e. a far wood pit or somewhere that he doesn't have spears. Also, practice your scout micro, if he only has one spear and you have 3 or more scouts, attack it and run away with the scout the spear targets. This attack works very well and it can really mess up your opponent's game when he has to garrison vils because of 3 scouts. If you have 6+ scouts you can even take 2 spears like I do in the example game. Really work on your micro and you will learn how to deal with the spears.
Another good trick is to look at villagers' hit points, if you have already hit one villager but spears chase you off, lure that spearman in some other direction with a scout while the others hit that villager. You might take a couple of hits but it's worth it to kill that vil. If you are attacking vils and you see spearmen coming, check the hit points on the vil, if it's close to death don't run until you kill it.

| few times some guys tried to use this strategy on me, i had aroudn 30 milita by then, but i didnt evne both wit hthose. SEnt em to my enemy base (my barracks constantly training infantry and my TC advancing) while I jus took down the scouts with my villagers. 3 scouts wud be piss easy, but the guy who attacked me had about 8. they still died. |
| 26.12.08 11:04 - ADD |
| It's important to have a balance when you rush, cause if it fails, you could be left with less resources than your opponent. Also, if you are defending against a rush, you should build all of your farms and military buildings close to your town center, as it acts as defence. you can even try to use a villager as bait to get the scouts to come close to the towncenter, and then ring the bell, causing the scout(s) to be slaughtered if they are too close. |

| I like to use this rush with the turks. i hit my oponent in the exact time i hit castle. because then my scouts will be light cav :) |

| hey, i know this is not the right please to post this but can anyone tell me where i can get some 3v3 recorded games from expert players? i have googled the net for a while but the only thing i can find is like 10000 1v1 games |
| 13.04.09 00:38 - Makyubex |
| Scouts =80 food Too costly in the initial ages to just waste so much food. Better rush to Imperial and not waste food. |
| 11.07.09 20:09 - zoooga |
| harassing an enemy's economy is always a good technique, but i always did it by building small squads of three or four men-at-arms and sending them running through random unprotected segments of their territory and then seizing it with heavier units as time advances. plus, infantry are the sturdiest during the first few minutes of the game |

| scout rush is bad when opponent make spearman... |
| 01.03.10 02:49 - Cantaloupe |
| I think its better to scout rush with 2 farms and 22 pop.. |
| 23.06.10 14:27 - tony |
| i could do this all the time |
| 18.07.10 17:12 - Andy |
| even better... 20P scout rush with mongols |
| 18.07.10 17:15 - Andy |
| Scout rush is devastating when the other guy forward you and have no military at his own base. But you are kinda screwed if he just build a few spearman to protect eco and wall + up castle in the mean time |
| 02.09.10 16:45 - Hunor |
| In scout rush ppl usually play with Huns ( cuz of the stable bonus ) and usually reaches 22 pop in dark. This way you should reach feudal around 10:16 or so...and build a stable right away in which build 4 or 5 scouts. |

| 02.04.11 01:27 - derp |
| This strategy is for n00bs. I always wall up and make spearmen as soon as I hit feudal cause I know someone will try it. Even a group of villagers can take on a scout. Also by wasting all that food you're giving your enemy a head start to the castle age. |
| 06.04.11 02:18 - casltes |
| To true derp. |
| 05.06.11 23:03 - AFNAN |

| 15.10.11 23:31 - Estevan |
| This is a good way to go. I have two questions, my friend uses the goths and he is unbeatable. He usually rushes 15 minutes into the game, how can i counter the rush? What civilization should i use to beat him? thx for the help. |
| 09.11.11 02:14 - Acid |
| Scouts cost too much food for so early. Its better to knight-rush as soon as you hit castle |
| 10.12.11 01:00 - Barry Bomber |
| Type i love the monkey head on the Dark Age then kill him in your town centre he will as well as that we do not know why he said aok title screen on the age of kings find a random map or more make random maps when you play one have your villagers gather food gold wood and sometimes stone I don't think you will need it on the dark age though through you should contact me barry@gmail.www.au. |

Also, if you are defending against a rush, you should build all of your farms and military buildings close to your town center, as it acts as defence. you can even try to use a villager as bait to get the scouts to come close to the towncenter, and then ring the bell, causing the scout(s) to be slaughtered if they are too close. 18.01.09 17:24 - Masterer_ I like to use this rush with the turks. i hit my oponent in the exact time i hit castle. because then my scouts will be light cav :) 18.02.09 21:14 - THE MAN DOES ANY 1 WHAT A MONKEY CHEAT 18.02.09 21:15 - THE MAN I COULD BEAT U GUYS FAST AND EASY AS PIE 18.02.09 21:17 - WHITE MAN YOU SUCK MY BALLS THEMAN 18.02.09 21:19 - WHITE MAN YES I AM ALL YOLL DADDIES 27.02.09 05:21 - ADD Can the administrator remove the silly comments at the bottom? 09.03.09 16:25 - Masterer_ hey, i know this is not the right please to post this but can anyone tell me where i can get some 3v3 recorded games from expert players? i have googled the net for a while but the only thing i can find is like 10000 1v1 games 13.04.09 00:38 - Makyubex Scouts =80 food Too costly in the initial ages to just waste so much food. Better rush to Imperial and not waste food. 11.07.09 20:09 - zoooga harassing an enemy's economy is always a good technique, but i always did it by building small squads of three or four men-at-arms and sending them running through random unprotected segments of their territory and then seizing it with heavier units as time advances. plus, infantry are the sturdiest during the first few minutes of the game 29.09.09 16:37 - asdm n00b 01.10.09 19:53 - Random Guy What the fuck are willies?

This way you should reach feudal around 10:16 or so...and build a stable right away in which build 4 or 5 scouts. 16.10.10 16:20 - Ian Siampson I absolutely adore hairy anus 09.12.10 21:18 - XxXKevXxX Suck My Penis! =/ 09.01.11 18:44 - saint great article, 23.03.11 02:55 - castles try building as many casltes earty on. works heeeappss. 23.03.11 02:57 - castles I'M SERIOUS!! it works heaps. 23.03.11 03:00 - castles That scout strategy is bull****!

This way you can add an archery range right away. I also like to do a 25 pop start with 6-8 farms, but if you do this you won't be able to add an archery range right away. I like this strategy because you can usually get 8-10 scouts right away and then research bloodlines. That way when you attack, even if he has 2 or 3 spears at his wood camp it won't matter. Using this strategy usually involves some walling and using your 200 stone on a tower. The main thing to remember is that you will need more farms earlier if you are making scouts first. Step Two ~ Raiding: The key to this strategy is to harass your opponent's economy so that you can gain an early advantage. The thing I like about going scouts first is that when you micro properly you can get a good advantage on your opponent in most games. You need to hit him where he is most vulnerable, i.e. a far wood pit or somewhere that he doesn't have spears. Also, practice your scout micro, if he only has one spear and you have 3 or more scouts, attack it and run away with the scout the spear targets. This attack works very well and it can really mess up your opponent's game when he has to garrison vils because of 3 scouts. If you have 6+ scouts you can even take 2 spears like I do in the example game. Really work on your micro and you will learn how to deal with the spears. Another good trick is to look at villagers' hit points, if you have already hit one villager but spears chase you off, lure that spearman in some other direction with a scout while the others hit that villager. You might take a couple of hits but it's worth it to kill that vil. If you are attacking vils and you see spearmen coming, check the hit points on the vil, if it's close to death don't run until you kill it.
