How to Play Armenians

Ideal opening (Dark → Castle): Pressure with a Scout Rush backed by early Spearmen built straight out of the Dark Age Barracks, then transition to a fast Castle Age. Once there, lean on your Fortified Church and Warrior Priests to seize relic control before adding Knights and rolling into your unique unit or Champions.

Recommended build: Armenian Spear into Fast Castle Relic
