I made an Assault Technique and I felt like sharing it with all you people at Age of Empires 3

Ok, I didn't have enough room and still be able to use text eligible for people to read...

First, the REAR

• REAR = Consists of Type A. 8 OR Type B. 10 artillery not including Grenadier and Rockets (With a handful of Infantry Guards OR Cavalry Guards)

   Here are some good Combinations

1. Half Falconets
2. Half Mortars
3. Half Falconets Half Anti Artillery
4. Half Mortar Half Anti Artillery
5. All Mortars
6. All Falconets

Onto the CLEARANCE GROUP

• CLEARANCE GROUP = 30 Ranged Infantry Units, Must be on Stand Ground Position

   Here are some good Combinations

1. 20 Bow Men and 10 Musketeers
2. 30 Musketeers
3. 20 Bowmen and 10 Jaegers or Skirmishers
4. All Jaegers or Skirmishers
5. 20 Musketeers and 10 Jaegers or Skirmishers
6. All Bowmen (For Early Aged Attacks)

Now for any Combinations of the Rear with Mortars. If there are Defensive Buildings a suggestion is to destroy them with mortars, and have the Clearance Groups be temporary Guards.

I personally tested this technique with Rear Combination 6. Type A. and Clearance Group A & B Combination 2. I won, I had left with Rear Group = 7 Falconets, 5 Jaegers (Originally 10)

And with Clearance Group A (Used Combination) 46

If counted I lost 5 Jaegers, 1 Falconet, and 14 Musketeers. I destroyed an IV Aged Town that was left Un-Attacked (Dock Un-Included). My Ally did not help, Based on these result I thought I might try it with the public. This is the first one that made good scores. Any losses higher than 50 Population is a Failure to me.

Now as for Commenting, if it is your first time posting on the thread please rate it.

Rating is open to anyone.

Stand Ground causes a unit to stay in one position without moving.

So they will stand ground if somebody will try to attack falconents? You mean you need to macro them afterwards?

By TW... You mean Tribal Wars? (That game is too slow paced)

And camping is a term I'm unknown to because I know little AoE Slang.

Edit: By Camping you mean not being a viking and actually planning an attack not just scroll over your units and right clicking on a building and go do something else and repeat the process until you win or lose.

If so, try the tactic. And if you do it right and lose, I'll take the insult and accept that it is true.

thats why I used musketeers. And with the amount of them when the Cavalry try to march through and destroy them they will automatically attack the Bayonet Armed Musketeers by AI.

And thats also why in the rear part I said "With a Handful of Protection"

I expected not to need it, and I didnt. And he DID have Cavalry.

that 64 musk/skim is not gonna kill off a group of 20 or more for sure, besides that combo u got here leaves u almost no room for any other units, the other player would be stupid not to send more to kill off your group. siege weapons are like the ones that requires the longest train time. unless got rax and stables right in front of enemies' base otherwise this wont work.

correct me if im wrong, they should be right but if im wrong which those units cost even more pop than i listed, u're screwed, here's ur units:

fal x 8 = 40

gre x 5 = 10(?)

musk/skim = 64(?) unless i counted them wrong on the pic

so...114 pop + how many settlers do u have? please dont say u got 99 or else u just gave a formation that exceeded the pop limit

last but not least, ur formation require a large open area which either

1-enemy can go around your musk, no one's gonna be stupid enough to go thru ur musk head to head

or

2-u cant even get such a large empty area without being in editor

if u have extra room for other units, they will be in a small number like 10-20, while most cav units are 2-3 pop ur enemy will have more than enough units to either kill off your guard line, or ignore the deaths and just charge right to ur siege units (imagine 30-40 cav + musk)

Don't you have surround your artillery with units to deflect cavalry? Also musketeers do good damage to cavalry only in hand combat not range.

Total War.

Camping is just sitting there and barely moving until the enemy is almost completely dead.

i dont know bout any other euro civ but if u're playing against french cav...good luck...those musk will die in probably about 20-30 secs, oh i must add, u're not the other one who got cannons and siege...

oh and culverin's gonna rip ur cannons in pieces while musk will have fun taking ages to shoot them down
