- -Follow standard meta build order till feudal age
-Make 4 barracks near enemy base.
-Make one castle exactly in front of the AI's gate 3-4 tiles away
-Rush Siege units, esp rams. Keep spamming pike/halb into the enemy base.
Explanation:I tried to beat extreme AI in arena many times but failed because I couldn't stop the late game spam. I realized AI has 2 weaknesses.
1) AI is extremely good at aggressive micro but sucks at protecting villagers. Building castles on their way to new wood, stone and gold resources while harassing the economy and TC directly is needed.
2) AI is just programmed to spam counter units. Rams+pikes is good because the AI first counters this with gold units and when it runs out the AI uses villagers to counter rams. In Castle age rams are good to make their TCs inactive even you cannot take them down..thus hurting their economy.
Even if you use this strategy late in Imperial age, it will still work. Just that you need to protect the castles with trebuchets, pikes and hussars and wait for the AIs gold to run out. Then run it down with militia line/pikes and rams/trebs
