age-of-empires-iii

I'm trying to improve my AOE3 skills with the British. What are some good build orders that play to their strengths?

i.e. a rush tactic? or a tanking tactic?

Best Answer

The British Black Watch Kick.

Takes advantage of the British strengths to get the economy up and running very fast.

Direct from the guide, the different strengths it plays to:

  • The 2 falconet card, an excellent card indeed.
  • The opportunity to create 8 Black Watch highlanders from the church VERY quickly. Highlanders are great anti-cav units and all-around bruisers.
  • The Black Watch are delivered in seconds, unlike conventional mercenary shipments, which take 1 full minute.
  • The Thin Red Line is also available from the church.
  • Excellent economic recovery due to the manor boom.
