Archer Rush Build

As the title suggests this post is a guide to doing an archer rush. Although this can be done by any civ some civ's have an advantage because of their bonuses,like the low cost farms of Teutons will reduce the wood spent on farms and help produce more archers.

1. H , Shift + C , Shift + C
This will produce 10 villagers from your town center
2. Select all your villagers and build a mill near the bushes. ( B , I )
Search around and find the bushes immediately as this is vital to a quick rush
3. Select the first created villager and build a lumber camp near the trees. ( B , Z )
Set the rally point of your town center to a tree near the lumber camp so the newly created villagers will go there.
4. Search with your King and scout and find the 8 sheep nearby your base and send them to the town center.
Sheep are free food so you should make full use of them. If there are any deer around send tow foragers to hunt them. More free food... , and what about wild boar ?? attach with three to four villagers and when he comes to attack send the villager that is attacked near the mill and around it if its not dead by the time he gets there.
5. Select the sixth create villager and send him to build a mining camp near the gold mines ( B , G )
Send the next two villager to the mining camp.
6. Send the ninth created villager to build a mining camp near the stone.
Stone is needed if your rush was unsuccessful and you need to defend.
7. Use the tenth villager to build a house ( B, E )and then a barrack ( B , B )
After building the barrack build about 3-4 more houses depending on your wood.
8. Advance to Feudal age
If you have found the bushes quickly and build up properly you should reach 500 food during the house is build. After clicking advance to feudal age send 4 of your foragers to the lumber camp.
9. First things to do in Feudal age
Research double bit axe ( lumber camp ) , Gold Mining ( mining camp ) and wheel barrow ( town center ). Build two archery ranges and a blacksmith. Start producing archers and some pikemen if your worried that the enemy might have cavalry ready when your rushing.
10. Attack
Soon as you produce 15-20 archers and some pikemen send them to one of your enemy bases. Do the upgrades for archers in your blacksmith if you can spare the gold. This is a must for Spanish player since their blacksmith upgrades doesn't cost gold.
