TRUSH: Cripple your opponent with in 20 minutes
Age of Empires is one of the most popular strategic LAN games and every time people try giving newer strategies to improve the entire way of playing the game. Several strategies like Monk rush or MUSH, Scout Rush or SCRUSH, Galley Rush or GRUSH have been used by some of the best AOE players around. TRUSH or Tower RUSH is also a strategy that can be successfully used to cripple your opponent with in 20 minutes. TRUSH is in fact the most balanced Age of Empires Strategy and here is how it works:
Use the starting 3 villagers to build houses ideally three. By the time keep your scout cavalry moving around your area in a circular orbit so that you find your resources. After you produce the first four villagers click loom. Use 6 villagers out of the 7 on food and 1 reserve to build houses, barracks etc. Now your food starts growing at good rate. Keep creating villagers every time you hit 50 food. Ideally you should consume two boars and eight sheep and a forage bush. You should advance to the feudal age at a population of 28 and the work distribution should be 11 on food, 3 on gold, 3 on stone and 7 on wood.
By this time you must have found out who is the opponent immediate to you. So, while you are advancing the age, use your remaining three villagers to build a barrack near his base but out of his line of sight. You would feudal around in 12-13 minutes. Use one barrack to produce militia while the other to do the man-at-arms research. Create 8-10 man-at-arms and use your villagers to construct watch towers at key locations like mining camps, lumber camps and wind mills. Use your man-at-arms to defend your villagers. Then construct three watch towers near the opponents Town Center in a semi-circular fashion. Now your opponent sadly rests in his town centre and resources come to a stand still. Bravo, Phase 1 is complete.
By the time you are TRUSHING your enemy base always have a look at your own territory. Keep your resources growing and advance to castle age as quick as possible. A castle time of 17-19 minutes is the best time. As soon as you advance to the castle age, construct a castle very near to the Enemies Town centre and raid his area with your knights. Wonderful you have got a new area to live and you have crippled your enemy with in 20 minutes. Try this wonderful AOE strategy and send your opponents score to all time lows.
