Strategy Notes

  • Teutons have the most cost-efficient Watch Towers and Guard Towers, making this the premier Tower Rush civilization.
  • Weak against: Opponent scouting forward in time and walling before your villagers arrive.
  • Strong against: Greedy openings, opponents who cannot respond quickly in Feudal.

Options:

  1. All-in Knight Rush: If the opponent held in Feudal, build a Stable forward in Castle Age and produce Knights.
  2. Forward Castle + Bodkin Arrow: Drop a Castle near secured towers for continued pressure.
  3. Siege Workshop + Monk Push: Use Monks and Mangonels behind tower lines; research Guard Towers and Ballistics.

Defense Tip: Balance home economy at 5–6 villagers on stone, which is usually enough for the tower chain. Once forward resources are secured under towers, add Double-Bit Axe and Horse Collar. The general goal is to completely disrupt the enemy’s early game and seize map control.
