Triple Wall Defense, Then Archer Waves | Ep 01 | Age of Empires II HD (Steam) | 1v4 AI | Britons

Описание: First Age of Empires II HD match on Steam as the Britons, playing a 1v4 against AI. I went heavy on early economy, layered defense, and a late archer timing push.

Opening plan was standard boom and scouting: houses, nonstop villagers, and food priority. I found sheep early, then dropped a mill on berries, and used my scout to map the area and identify choke points. As the eco stabilized, I added wood, then stone and gold, and built up the production line while advancing through Dark → Feudal.

Defense became the theme. I walled every border, then kept adding layers. That paid off when I discovered a major weak spot, a wide opening to the southwest, and had to re-secure it with additional walls. I also built a monastery, trained a monk, and secured one relic for passive gold.

Midgame, Yellow (Tokugawa Ieyasu) was eliminated by another AI, leaving Red (Khubilai Khan) and Green (Ruga the Hun) as the remaining threats, and both were ahead of me in tech and strength. I stayed disciplined, expanded villagers, advanced to Castle, then Imperial, and kept building deeper wall layers while ramping archer numbers.

Green pressured from the south, but the wall buffer bought time to mass archers and win the defense. From there I switched gears and pushed three large archer waves into Green, forcing a forfeit. After regrouping, I hit Red, and they folded shortly after contact.

Spoiler, final scores:
Blue (Victory Vector): Military 22407, Economy 9494, Technology 3954, Society 390, Total 36245
