Overview
Defending Against A Rush teaches a compact wall response to Scout Cavalry and Men-at-Arms. Close the gaps early, repair while the enemy attacks, and use the Korean wood discount for counter units.
Plan and execution
Follow the narration and place Palisade Walls with Houses to block the small treeline openings. Keep Villagers ready to repair sections under attack. Add Spearmen against Scout Cavalry and Archers against Men-at-Arms, using stone income for Stone Walls if the scenario allows the upgrade. Build extra towers only where they improve the defense.
Risks and adaptation
The starting towers alone are not enough if attackers enter through an open gap. Keep repair Villagers safe and do not overbuild towers when a short wall and counter force will hold.
