Viel ist geschehen in den vergangenen Jahren und insbesondere seit dem Release der Definitive Edition von AoE II. Insbesondere die Art und Weise, wie Spieleröffnungen gestaltet sind, hat sich stark verändert. Wir nehmen dies zum Anlass, in einer neuen Reihe über Strategien zu philosophieren. Den Beginn machen wird mit einer Folge über den Dark Age Rush (Drush) sowie Men at Arms (M@A) Openings. Unter anderem geht es darum, welche Arten des Drushes es gibt, wann lieber Men at Arms geöffnet werden sollte und welche Follow-ups es üblicher Weise gibt. 

Viel Spaß beim Hören wünschen
Felix & Christian

[GER] Strategien #01: Drush & M@A

The Aztecs were a Mesoamerican civilization that flourished in Central Mexico from 1300 to 1521. They comprised of various ethnic groups, particularly those who spoke the Nahuatl language. In Age of Empires II, they have a strong focus on infantery and monks. They have a notable economic bonus, but no particular unit worth booming into. Instead, with faster producing eagle warriors, great monks and good siege weapons, they are well equipped to play aggressively and put early pressure on the enemy. Just like the Aztecs, they also exuded absolute dominance in our beloved game for a while, only to then abruptly disappear from the scene.
In this episode, we'll be taking a deep look into the history of the Aztecs to understand, where their bonuses come from. They were skilled farmers and subdued themselves to bloodthirsty gods, had gold in abundance and never used horses. Their campaign tells the story of the Spanish conquest of the Aztec empire, however, it's actually not what happend in reality, but just a tale Hernan Cortez told to fool his king.
