Experience playing Assyrian troops (Extracted from the experience of the masters)
Starting out (Age 1)
- Send 2 villagers to build a BE, send 1 villager to find the berry bush.
- When the berry bush is found, immediately send 6 villagers to gather berries.
- The 6th/8th villager continues to build the BE, the 7th villager goes to gather berries.
- After the 6th villager finishes building the BE, send them to explore the map. Villagers 8 and 9 chop wood. Villagers 10/12 build a BE.
- Aim to have villagers 14-15 build a BS to gather wood.
- Focus on collecting wood and build about 3 BS in age 1. Each BS should have 4~5 villagers gathering wood.
- Build 4-5 houses depending on your population when advancing to age 3.
- Standard attack, depending on your choice of troops
+ Archers (R, A):
Number of villagers needed to advance: Request 26 to 28 villagers depending on each game (wealthy players may use fewer villagers and dedicate them to BA near the opponent's base)
- Age 2: Advancing to age 3, you need to upgrade wood chopping (Building B, stone hammer)
- Age 3:
. You need to build 4 or 5 BA houses, depending on your wood supply, to balance enough wood and food.
. Upgrade armor: If facing opponents with swords (sword icon)
. Upgrade wood cutting 2 for long-range shooting, cut more wood
. Build more BA when you have excess wood and food.
. Try to finish the game in age 3. Produce a lot of Assyrian archers.
- Age 4: Mainly use Assyrian Horse Cavalry. Other types of troops from this empire are relatively weak, with low damage output in age 4.
+ In many Random Assyrian matches, if the opponent is aggressive, players can use BL and Camel. Attack the opponent's base first, then build BA and upgrade the Wheel to produce archers.
Summary:
With Assyrian troops, players should produce a lot of archers to defeat the opponent. Players should also focus on using archers to maximize the fast-shooting efficiency of Assyrian troops.
