Persian Fast Castle

It will get you to castle around 15.10min, with enough resources to make knights with one stable on villagers nonstop. You also almost have wood for another tc.

Whats really nice about this strategy is that you fuedel a little slower than a usual feudal time, so it can look like you just got a little unlucky and had a slow feudal time for a flush. Since you also puts villager 20 and 21 on gold, your enemy might also think that your gonna m@a rush him. And play defensive. Then "boom" you hit castle and got a big advantage.

Persians Fast Castle

Villager 1-2 House (Then sheep)
Villager 3 House (Then sheep)
Villager 4-6 Sheep
Villager 7-10 Lumbercamp (On a good spot)
Villager 11 Boar (Make house on the way)
Loom
Villager 12 Berries (Make mill)
Villager 13-14 Eat boar (If you didnt finish one of em before you kill the boar, use two vills to finish eating it)
Make two farms with the boar eaters (If you got any wounded villagers use them)
Villager 15 Hunt another boar.
Villager 16 Eat boar
Villager 17 Make a house
Villager 18 Wood
Make two farms with the house builder and one boar eater (If you got any wounded villager use him)
Villager 19 Wood
Villager 20 Gold (Make mining camp)
Put four boar eaters on a sheep.
Villager 21 Gold (Make a house on the way)
Villager 22 Make mill at the deers
Put the boar eaters on another sheep when they finish
Villager 23-24 Wood
Take five sheep eaters and hunt deer with em. (Three on one deer then two + the mill builder on another)
Villager 25 Wood
Press feudal
One of the lumber guys makes a bax

When you hit feudal, you make a stable with two lumber guys and a blacksmith with another one of em. On the same time que two villagers at the town center (They will mine gold). When the villagers is produced press castle.
On the way to castle, put one more villager on gold (Make a house with him on the way). Get lumber upgrade. Put all deer/sheep eaters on the berries. Make farms with em when you can afford it. Get armor upgrade for your knight. When you reach castle. Make knigths and villagers. Make a another town center as fast as you can afford it. Keep pumping knights and villagers.

What is Zycat, The Mayans, Attilla

What is Zycat, The Mayans, Attilla


The AI folder in Age of Empires is the thing that controls the Artificial Intelligence of the computer players in single player games. This will change the way computer plays the game. The computer gameplay by default is very passive and not at all advisable to play for better improvement in the game. This is because the computer wont play very aggressively but it plays collectively.

If you want to play a challenging game with the computer then you must install these AI files in your AOE installation so that the computer plays according to this AI instead of the default AI. The Mayans, Zycat and Atilla these are three different parts.

How to install:


For installation of these AI you need to put the *.per and *.ai files in the AI folder of the Age of Empires installtion folder.

Where to download:


You can get the files from heavengames.com. You extract the files in the package and put the respective files and folders in the AI folder.

Only in the Single Player:


These AI can be used only in the case of the single player games and it is not possible give this Ai for computer players for multiplayer games.

What does Zycat do


Supports taunt like 100 food, wood, gold, stone. Plays based on the civilization and its strengths. Economical usage of resources. The age changes are also done very fast.

How to play with 1000 populaton in Age Of Empires

Well, Age Of Empire offers one to play with a population limit of maximum of 200. But the title of the post says that you can play with 1000 population in Age Of Empires. You just have to replace one file for that.
Today I am going to reveal the secret of "How to play with 1000 population in Age Of Empires". First of all download the file by clicking here.
This is a zipped file which contains two files-version 2.1 and version 2.2. You need to rename the file as empires2_x1_p1.dat and replace the file in the data folder. If there is no existing file in data folder by this name, then rename the file as empires2_x1.dat. This will surely be present in the data folder of Age of Empires.
Do not forget to make a backup of the original file in case you have some problem so you can replace with original file, else you will have to reinstall.
After replacing the file, try to launch Age of Empires and enjoy the fun of playing 1000 population game.
One more thing that this file would give is that monks can walk on water surface no matter he is holding a relic or not.
So enjoy the new era of Age Of Empires and have fun.

Age Of Empires : The Conquerors free Download

Age of Empires is one of the best real time strategy game develped ever. It is also one of the ealriest RTS game to be developed after Civilization, another best real time strategy game. The game was developed by Ensemble and was published by Microsoft Game Studios. I have played Age of Empires full version thousands of time and I just can't tell you what a fun this game gives to me. As of now I have played all the three games of the series viz. Age of Empires, Age of Empires 2, Age of Empires 3 and also Age of Myhtoligies. Games that came after the first game of the series are also as good as Age of Empires is. Games released after this game in the series have edge over AOE in terms of graphics and artificial intelligence.
Artficial Intelligence in Age of Empires is not poor even if compared to games released afterwards. Only graphics makes a distinction. When I started playing game five years ago, I immediately concluded that this is the game I was longly waiting for. Age of Empires full version offered me immense pleasure by completely dissolving into the ancient history. The game is spanned to the 10,000 years of history with 12 ancient civilizations to play with. There are five campaigns to play in Age of Empires and the game offers you four different ages to walk through. All these are lovely campaigns that let you know how to formulate a strategy even if you are in serious problem. As a whole playing Age of Empires full version was a good experienc for me.
Age of Empires free download is available. This is not the Age of Empires free full version download but a demo of the game. This Age of Empires free download contains only one playable level/campaign. This demo will teach you how to play the game and will also explore you to the initial level of the game. Though you can play only one campaign when you download Age of Empires for free from here but believe this one campaign is enough to engage you into hours of game play. You can download Age of Empires free demo from here.
If you want to play the full game then try downloading Age of Empires full version which is not free. You have to buy full version in order to download it.

Which is the best civilisation in Age of empires?

What do you thin is the best civilisation in Age Of Empires? To answer this question, let us first understand the best points of all the civilisations.
There are mainly three types of civlisations in Age of empires. These are infantry civilisations, Cavalry Civilisations and Archer civilisations. Age of Empires is so build that no civilisation is best in this game. It depends on what the opposition's civilisation is. For example Saracens are good against cavalry so if the opposition is huns, then Saracens have a great advantage against them. But Saracens are weak against archers, so is weak against archer civilisations such as britons, mayans and chinese. If it comes to infantry civilisation, they are generally weak against archers, so better keep some onagers with infantry. But if you are goths, they are the best civilisation against archers. But if you are goths they are weak against other infantry civilisations like Aztecs and Japanese. Generally people thinks that Koreans is the best civilisation, but let me tell you that they are very weak against Gothic unit- Huskarl and eagle warriors. But what if you are neither goths nor Aztecs, do not worry, just make Siege Onagers against War Wagons and you will get an easy success against War Wagons.
Some people think that Tuetons is the best one, as it is very very strong against infantry. A unique fact is that after full upgrades, 5 Elite Tuetonic knights are enought for 50 Helberdiers. So you can calculate its power against infantry, but again they are weak against archers.
Some think that Byzantines are the best, but they are weak against archers so any archer civilisation can beat them.
So we come to a conclusion that No civilisation is best on its own, it depends on what the opposition's civilisation is.
As far as I am concerned, I take koreans if there is no goths in opposition or byzantines or goths. This is because these are the three Best Civilisations that I think we have in Age of Empires.
