However, they are also very slow, and even with all that armor they can be very vulnerable to ranged units and monks simply because it takes so long to reach your enemies not to mention that retreat is out of the question. They are infantry units with an incredible amount of armor. The first thing most people notice about the Teutons are the Teutonic knights. They are extremely slow but almost invulnerable to most attacks. They have double the HP and attack of most other units, and cost almost twice as much too. Their unique unit is the Teutonic Knight, arguably the strongest infantry unit. Their towers and town centers have attack bonus, their monks heal your units faster, and their farms cost 33% less. Their major advantage is their economy, defensive technologies, and their extremely strong unique unit. If you’re uncomfortable with being vulnerable and having a poor economy, maybe add 2 or 3 villagers extra to the build order to wood or farms and wall up your base.With the Goths and Vikings, the Teutons are one of the civilizations belonging to the Eastern and Northern European culture. This tower rush build order is all about speed and causing as much chaos as possible. A man at arms rush with towers is generally better as the man at arms can kill and villagers that try to attack the towers and also raid the enemy economy, although it is a much later build than this one. Towers are a lot more fragile than they used to be and as such, this is no longer as strong a strategy as it used to be. When placing towers, ideally you will want to build walls around them so that they enemy cannot tear them down with villagers. if you can take them off of wood, eventually they will not be able to make farms or even relocate to build a new lumber camp somewhere else due to the lack of wood saved.

Enemy wood collection should be the main target.

If you can cause enough damage and chaos at your opponents base you should be ok. This build order can be a bit “all-in” though and can leave your economy vulnerable to attack and slow to develop. This build order is quicker than that and can probably be adapted to 17 population with Koreans. Previously, the Korean 19 population tower rush was considered to be the best and fastest tower rush in the game due to their eco bonus of collecting stone more quickly. With the game changing to a more closed off meta where players wall up their base earlier, there was a need for a quicker tower rush. The old meta used to be that a tower rush is completed with perhaps 20 or 21 population so that your economy is not compromised. This AOE2 tower rush build order is a generic build order that can be completed with any civilization.
