Build Order Reference

26+2 Arena Castle Drop

This version of the build is for a food/gold unique unit such as Spanish Conquistadors, or Turk Janissaries, but the build could also be adapted for a wood/gold unit. Often this build will be followed up by forward siege. Credits to AoE2 Arena for this one - link below.
