#Age of empires 3 strategies upgrade

With luck, you'll have disrupted their economy enough that you can continue to send small pockets of units to keep them off-balance whilst continuing to build up your own army.ДЄt worst, your units will be shredded, and you'll see they have an established defense. Use both Barracks to make units (around 15-20 total) and send them on too.ДЄfter that, you may have to switch gears to one of the other strategies. Meanwhile, create a second Barracks and more houses. Once the Barracks is up, make at most 10 units, and send them to the enemy's base. The Stable will offer good speed of units, but everything in the Stable is more expensive than anything in the Barracks. Build maybe a House or two, but you must conserve your initial resources.

Make at most five more to put on wood, then upgrade to Age 2. This means your first 10 Settlers should all go to food. In fact, the chance of a mobility kill rises exponentially the quicker you rush.Д«ecause the Barracks cannot be built until Age 2, you must hit Age 2 as fast as possible.

If your opponent also rushes, you will be open.

Taking too long (giving the enemy any time at all to set up a defense) will make a rush impossible.

You'll be at a technological and economic disadvantage if you fail.

You are wide open for a counter-attack if you fail.

It will take practice to do this one consistently.

By far the hardest one to attempt properly.

(I still wet my pants when I watch a video of the famous Six-Zergling Rush from StarCraft.)

When executed properly, is an absolute thing of beauty.

If things look bad early, the rush can be aborted with little risk.

Setting up a rush yourself will counter an enemy's rush if they try the same thing.
