I'm sure that many of you have heard by now of the dreaded Teuton tower rush. For those of you who haven't, you may be wondering why the
The answer is simple: the Teuton civ bonus that gives their towers double the garrison capacity. Being able to garrison more villagers means more firepower. This in turn means more damage done to enemy units as well as a huge advantage when fighting a defensive tower that can only garrison 5 units instead of 10. As another boon in this situation, Teutons get cheap farms, which means that they will have more wood left over for their towers when executing this strategy, and will have an easier time getting to Castle Age while simultaneously pulling this rush off.
One player in particular is quite adept at using this tactic, and has been doing so for a long time. If I'm not mistaken,
In the meanwhile, you'll want to have scouted out the enemy base to find out what they're building, where their resources are, what they're gathering, etc. Once you've clicked the Feudal button, move one more villager to stone (for a total of 4) and three more to wood (for a total of 4). Send eight (!) villagers and your scout forward to the enemy base. The remaining three villagers should build a mill and gather berries. Palisade in your stone miners so they can't be harassed by a drush or scouts.
When you reach the enemy base, you want to drop two towers simultaneously to deny some of their resources. It is very important that
Back home, you want to have enough food income from berries/deer/farms for constant villagers. Build a Blacksmith when you have enough excess wood and research Fletching to boost the attack and range of your towers. Adding archers to a tower rush is an excellent idea, for which you'll need some gold miners and an Archery Range. With a Blacksmith and an Archery Range you'll also be able to click up to Castle Age once you stockpile the necessary food and gold.

Best of luck on your conquests!
