Age of Empires 2 Build Orders

I created this build order out of trial and error until I got a 17 population uptime without luring deer or relying on hunt that has more food! Enjoy a super fast scout rush and some of the most efficient villagers in the game well before the 10 min mark. Vikings 17 Pop Up Economy/Scouts Six on sheep (7) 1 lure first boar (8) 1 more to boar (9) 2 to make lumber camp and to wood (11) 1 to lure second boar (12) 1 to build house and then to boar (13) 2 more to boar (15) 1 to build mill (16) as boar expires, separate 12 villagers into two sets of 6 to process sheep under town center 1 more to sheep (17) Loom Garrison food villagers and click Feudal. (Should have almost exactly 500 food if timed out right) After click, send 11 to wood. 8 to lumber camp and 3 to chop wood near town center Send one villager to build house and barracks Send second villager to make sure barracks finishes before Feudal. Feudal Age: Do NOT research Double Bit Ax unless you want a pure economy build (not enough food for upgrade and quick scout) Build stable with two villagers that built barracks Send woodchoppers at TC to berries. Should have two scouts in opponents base before 10 min with third joining a bit later. End build order

Dark Age: 6 on sheep (7) 3 on wood (10) 1 lure first board (11) 1 to boar (12) 1 to build two houses, then to berries (13) 1 to build mill, then to berries (14) 2 to berries (16) Lure 2nd boar with villager under town center as 1st runs out 2 to boar, build farms with boar villagers as lumber becomes available (18) 4 to wood, 2 more to current lumber camp (5 total) and 2 to new lumber camp. (22) TRANSITION: After boar runs out, 5 villagers need to immediately transition to collecting on a nearby sheep (1 sheep at a time) 3 leftover villagers that were previously on boar need to transition to the new lumber camp. Loom Feudal Age (queue one villager after clicking Feudal Age to be sure not to forget like I did in the video) :P Build barracks and house with one berry villager on the way up to Feudal Feudal Age: Build stable with 3 berry villagers Research double bit ax Research Horsecollar Continuous villager production Scout production Build farms with villagers around the TC as soon as wood is available. All sheep workers should transition to farming. Once food economy reaches ~16 workers, scout and villager production will be able to continue as long as needed. Transition as desired. End build order.

Dark Age: 6 on sheep (7) 4 on wood (11) 1 lure first boar (12) 1 to build two houses, then to berries (13) 1 to build mill, then to berries (14) 2 to berries (16) Lure 2nd boar with villager under town center as 1st runs out 2 to boar (18) 1 to wood (19) 1 to build barracks, then house (20) TRANSITION: After the boar runs out, all 9 food gatherers need to go on to the nearest sheep. It is recommended to peel off 2-3 food villagers from the boar and put them on sheep when the 20th villager comes out to make sure Feudal can be queued before Loom finishes researching. 2 to build mining camp, then mine gold (22) Loom Feudal Age TRANSITION: 3 villagers need to go out from TC to build a second lumber camp as soon as the wood is available. (Villager that built barracks and house can be used here also). Build two farms with villagers under TC as wood becomes available Continue processing sheep with 5 villagers under TC Feudal Age: Research double bit ax Research Men At Arms Continuous villager production TRANSITION: Once sheep runs out transition at least 2/5 of the villagers to the new lumber camp. Remaining 3 villagers can be transferred either to wood/farms/gold according to strategy. Build farms with villagers around the TC as soon as wood is available. Transition as desired.

Specialized Build Order: 21 Pop Scouts with Britons Why is it special? Briton shepherds are as efficient (slightly more) with 5 shepherds as opposed to the usual 6 of every other civilization. Only needing 5 on sheep at the beginning of the Dark Age allows the player to effectively cut out a villager from the 22 population scouts build while sacrificing virtually no economy to do so. Dark Age: 5 on sheep (6) 3 on wood (9) 1 lure first board (10) 2 to boar (12) 1 to build two houses, then to berries (13) 1 to build mill, then to berries (14) 2 to berries (16) Lure 2nd boar with villager under town center as 1st runs out 2 to boar, build farms with boar villagers as lumber becomes available (18) 3 to wood, 2 more to current lumber camp (5 total) and 1 to build new lumber camp. (21) TRANSITION: After boar runs out, 4 villagers need to immediately transition to collecting on a nearby sheep (1 sheep at a time) 4 leftover villagers that were previously on boar need to transition to the new lumber camp (5 total) Loom Feudal Age Build barracks and house with one berry villager on the way up to Feudal Feudal Age: Build stable with 3 berry villagers Research double bit ax Research Horsecollar Continuous villager production Scout production Build farms with villagers around the TC as soon as wood is available. All sheep workers should transition to farming. Once food economy reaches ~16 workers, scout and villager production will be able to continue as long as needed. Transition as desired.
