Hi,
I have found a strategy to win each times by rushing against each level of the AI (even the most difficult level) on the Alpha 22 version:
The idea is to create a lot of cavalery very quickly and send it kill your enemy directly.
I do like this:
First I send the cavalry man and a woman on chicken.
Next, I run the creation of cavalry men into the forum with a destination point on chicken.
I send 3 others womens on bushes . I don't remember if i put 2 soldats on food on wood.
The 2 lancers go in the opposite on the map.
When cavalry men has finished chickens I send them on the enemy with the 2 lancers. I kill all the unit, with micro managment.
Finally I convert house, like that I can send other cavalry men, If I can I convert the wood building and the infantry building.
A this moment the forum can't create no more units, the enemy is dead (we are about at 4:30, so it's very quick).
I don't know if you know this tips. May be it could be a good things to change some parameters (like slow donw creations of cavalry at the first age ?) or improve the AI ?
What is your point of view ?
