Tactics

Mamelukes. Powerful, fast, and ranged. Coupled with Champions and Pikemen, they are almost unstoppable.

Here's how it works:

Build a castle or two and a barracks outside the enemy's town. Be sure you have lots of farms and trade carts working. Then just start building Champions, Pikemen and Mamelukes. An effective rush consists of 40 Elite Mamelukes, 40 Champions and 40 Pikemen, but it's hard to get 40 of each. A couple trebs go well with this tactic; let everything protect the trebs while you hammer away at his buildings.
