Mass-Knight Rush
Introduction:
Basically, my aim is to get 20 knights in 20
minutes. It sounds impossible, but is not. This
strategy involves
using the Teutons because of their cheaper farms.
Many other civs are viable also but because of the
teuton's farm bonus, it enables you to have less
woodcutters, or more farmers. This strategy is
specifically for pocket players only. You can risk
using this strategy if you were on the sides, but
that would be a big risk.
What you need:
1) 4 sheep + bonus 2 sheep, don't really need the
other bonus sheep but you can if you want
2) 2 boars.
3) Don't need to hunt deer, but if they are close,
you can hunt them.
4) Berry bush.
The build up:
Well, its just like most build ups;
1) 6 on sheep, 1 forager, 2 woodcutters and 1
house builder/boar lurer are the first set of
villagers
2) By 10 minutes, you should have achieved the
following:
* 26/30 population
* 14 villagers on food
* 11 villagers on wood
* + scout
(or something like that)
3) You want to mine gold after the 10 minute mark
too... trust me, you will need it. I have tested
this
strategy over 10 times and found that you will
need LOTS of gold, repeat, LOTS of gold
4) Transfer 2 from food to gold and make town
centre gathering point to gold
5) Now you can look at your resources and see do
you need more food, if you do, make some villagers
to go
to food instead
6) With a population of 32, click feudal
7) By now, you should have:
* 32/50
* 11 villagers on wood still
* about 12 on food
* 7 gold miners
* and 1 builder building barracks while feudaling
* + scout
8) As soon as you get to feudal, build blacksmith
with 3 woodcutters and a stable with 1- 2 miners
and queue
3 villagers at town centre
9) With the 3 villagers who built the blacksmith,
make another mining camp at a different gold mine
10) The 3 villagers you made from the town centre
go to the new gold mine
11) Advance to Castle Age
12) Meanwhile, DON'T do any upgrades because it is
impossible to achieve 20 knights in
20 minutes if you did do upgrades
13) Using the same builder who built the stables,
build 3 more stables, in total of 4
14) Make more houses
15) As soon as you hit castle, train knights... do
NOT make villagers from the town centre, it won't
work
16) Queue knights is top priority (queue farms at
the mill to save some time)
17) You should have 12 miners and only 8
woodcutters
18) By 20 minutes, you should have queued
(non-stop) 20 knights AND more coming
19) From there, is up to you
I achieved 21 knights in 21 minutes
instead but I am positive that I can achieve my
original
description of 20 knights in 20 minutes if I
worked more harder and longer. I am soooo happy
about it, couldn't believe I did it
