Fast Archer Opening

A 21 pop Feudal (click 7:30, arrive 9:40) straight into archers. Strong on generated land maps you can wall, and punishing when the opponent does not fully wall. Best with archer civs: Britons, Ethiopians, Mayans, Malay, Saracens, Vietnamese or Vikings. Capoch streams on Twitch and Kick (kick.com/capoch).
