8:52:18out run the pikeman, attack from another angle
8:52:31Archers. Skirms are okay, but much better against Archers
8:52:59I think this is vary rushed. As a game.
8:53:12i like harrasing with cav archers myself
8:53:21you can just run away from the spears
8:53:402 pikeman can destroy all your scouts right now, so never fight them head on. but you can out run them and attack elsewhere
8:53:57everybody got a preferred playstyle. I love going fast castle.
8:54:59You should go for Castle Age
8:55:59making scouts delay your castle age since scout cost a lot of food
8:56:00the nice peaceful music starts up
8:56:30skirmishers use the archer upgrades
8:56:41for range units. always upgrade attack first
8:57:25Skrimishers have Minimum range.
8:58:01i think normall archers are just better
8:58:16Lets skrims stay in the archery range until there are more than one ready.
8:59:33sounds like you need university building
9:00:00Skirms DO counter spearmen/Pikemen. It's just you had feudal age units, they had castle age units.
9:00:43If thy Trebucket, you send the knights.
9:01:00They will not be able to kill your Knights, before your Knights make the Trebuckets kick the buckets.
9:01:07well , matara , i have to go now. i wish you good luck , and i hope i'll get to see the nimi matchup (assuming it's not at an unholly hour for me). just keep practicinng. You're doing well
9:01:13Knights + Xbowman is a good combo for Franks in Castle Age. unless they bring out siege units
9:01:32annd try the huns. I really think they are a big crutch for newbie playeres
9:02:09university to research the 0 distance shot from castle, urban center & tower (?)
9:02:14Axeman are the wrong call btw.
