Persian Douche

Persian Town Centres have double the hit points, so a Persian TC built next to the enemy TC will always win the TC battle. Send 10 villagers forward in Dark Age, delete your own TC as they arrive, and rebuild it next to the opponent's. An all-in surprise strategy that commits half your villagers — hard to stop if the enemy doesn't react correctly.

  1. **6 villagers** on sheep
  2. **4** on wood
  3. **1** lures the boar
  4. **1** builds the third **house** and the **mill** on berries
  5. **2** more on berries
  6. **1** lures the second boar
  7. Next vill + 9 from food — **send 10 forward**. By now you should know where the enemy TC is.
  8. **2** on food under TC
  9. Research **Loom**
  10. **1** more on food under TC
  11. When forward villagers reach the enemy base, **delete your TC** and build a new one near the enemy's TC — out of arrow range
  12. **Garrison 10 villagers** and start the TC battle
  13. Start making new villagers and send them to a nearby resource
  14. After you've won the TC battle, keep pushing and take nearby resources
  15. Decide: **drop another TC** near the enemy's new TC, or **advance to Feudal** and pressure with Towers + Archers
