Rushing the Enemy tutorial resource raid
Rushing the Enemy is a short timing lesson. Focus on one Feudal unit type, buy the relevant Blacksmith upgrade, and exploit the exposed gold mines before the medal timer closes.
Overview
Rushing the Enemy is a short timing lesson. Focus on one Feudal unit type, buy the relevant Blacksmith upgrade, and exploit the exposed gold mines before the medal timer closes.
Plan and execution
Follow the narrated build and choose a unit group that reaches the enemy quickly. Scout the open gold mines and direct the first attack there to interrupt income. Teuton Scout Cavalry benefit from cheaper Farms, making a cavalry rush a sustainable option; alternatively, send Villagers with the attack to block enemy workers if the mission’s timing favors an all-in.
Risks and adaptation
Do not mix several unit lines and lose the timing. The Villager all-in has little damage and depends on blocking the return path, so use it only when the gold-medal route calls for that risk.
