Hi everyone, its been a while. Be warned this is a long post.

This video was made to show people the specific tactic that is rush/booming in the game age of empires, it shows building up your economy, and finaly attack your enemy. this video is in 2 parts as i couldn’t fit it all onto 1 video. This guide works for all games based on the principle or engine of age of empires, this includes empire earth and all those other games, athough the structures and units may be different, the tactics aren’t.

Game: Age of empires 1 expansion: The rise of Rome

My civilization: Roman

The enemy: Keris

Resources: medium

Revealed map: On

This is part 1

In this first video i do a number of things to boost my economy.

1. build a small number of houses to support the upcoming boom

2.build a granary at the nearest foraging site

3.build a number of villagers for economic expansion

4.build a dock for naval fishing

5.Start lumbering, mining gold and stone (preparing for tool age rapid growth)

6.build a barracks and train a few soldiers for base defense (preparing for tool age military)

7.Advance to the tool age

8.Research various military and economic upgrades

9. start hunting explorations

10. build an archery range and more houses for new growth

11. build a market to gain farms

12. finally gather a small army and prepare for an attack.

This is part 2

In this part i finish off my enemy. As you can see after spending no less than 10 minutes setting up an economy you can build an army and attack an unprepared enemy. Basicly in this video I’m exploring the map incase the enemy has another base of operations and find the enemy camp ill prepared for my attack. I hope you have enjoyed this guide and i hope it has helped some of you out there.

Another day, another RA2 video I guess. In this one I first tried a tank assault, with that I was able to take out the Battle Lab, which is good but not what I wanted. Next I used a Demo Truck in a less then effective way. Next up: Boris with a Flak Halftrack to defend him from air attack and transport his slow butt around. The AI erected a Prism tower within range and killed him. I was so close to saving him though. This is a shame. But heres the funny part, ONE Kirov was able to finish the opponent, a desperate move it was, and success it bought me!

Here is a round of Command & Conquer Red Alert 2: Yuri’s Revenge expansion set.
Against a Brutal Level Opponent, I was successful in using Human Wave Tactics, and Urban Tactics, followed up with armored support for a easy victory. And who said C&C is all about massing tanks?
