The Longbowmen will get increased attack speed from the Outpost and quickly dispatch the enemy. So, building walls, (preferable stone walls) and keeping on the defensive can be a good move.įor example, players can build a wall at a choke point, place an outpost behind it and move in a squad of Longbowmen when needed. Town Centers, Outposts, Towers, and Keeps increase the attack speed of nearby units when enemies are detected. The English also get a big bonus with their Network of Castles buff. Luckily, even if a player’s army of archers goes down, they should be raking in enough food to rebuild quickly. Some Men-At-Arms mixed in can help keep what army an opponent does have off of the Longbowmen so they can have maximum effect.

Consider adding another Archery Range or two to increase production speed.Ībout 30-40 Longbowmen should be enough to rush more inexperienced players at this point in the game. It produces Longbowmen faster than a regular Archery Range, and by this point, players should have enough food stockpiled to start churning them out. If they’re going for the rush, players should pick the Council Hall as their building. The English get the unique Longbowman unit which is one of the best ranged units in the game for the money.
