Knights Templar | Dark Age tower rush

Knights Templar·Open

Rush·Season 13

Dark Age tower rush with spearmen to block gold, stone or berries at enemy base. DO NOT do this build order against HRE, China, Zhu Xi, English, of Lancaster, Mongol or Rus; they can either make a lot of units very early in the game, have villagers with ranged attacks or both. My other Knights Templar build orders: - Feudal all-in: https://aoe4guides.com/builds/3zDTNY0CFvLUA8dZ0UnX - 2TC: https://aoe4guides.com/builds/4eHSzSzuResmbfKsdVCV

Ant: Age 2 are great in Age 2 against Royal Knight, making this the best option in those matchups ( Fre, Jda, Rus, Mon, Goh ), but they are quite expensive and weak against , so you shouldn't commit to a Age 2 all-in. Going Castle Age to get and would be the best strategy.
Hos: Age 2 are decently tanky and, with good micro, they can save units from dying even while diving the enemy static defenses. Good for all-ins when supporting + armies.
Kof: Heavy cavalry in Age 2 are super strong and the bonus unit production speed allows you to outproduce most civilizations in the game. Additionally, you will force the enemy to make , which you will counter with . Perfect for Feudal Age all-ins unless your opponent can make heavy cavalry ( Fre, Jda, Rus, Mon, Goh )
