any body have tip for playing Arabia I have been trying to get better at because I don't really like black forest. mostly I trying to figure out what good times for ageing and around the time when the first flush should come in. when I play pretty well I can feudal at around 13 minutes and castle around 24 minutes.

I have been play against the AoFe barbarian AI on moderate.

also looking for people to be friend with that play around 7pm ish eastern starnderd time.

You should be feudalling in 10-12 minutes in a 1v1 if you're rushing, and castling in ~16 mins as a pocket in a TG for kts

11 minutes or 10 is a good time in 1v1. The most important thing in arabia is army micro, ofcourse economy is important but army micro. And try to get one boar without loom in dark age.

you can start by learning how to spell arabai correctly

Lol dumbass, you can start out by spelling "Arabia" correctly too! Not "Arabai"... now you look like more of a **** for trying to correct somebody's spelling and failing yourself.

Hey, things to work on:

- AGING
You should be aging around 10-12 minutes as said before. However, you should have around 22 villagers before advancing. Here is a video that tells you what to do in the dark age in order to advance in time, with enough villagers to keep your economy going.

-SCOUTING
Scouting is important in order to know what your enemy is making and where your resources are.
You should first scout and fin out where your main resources are. The large gold pile, the large stone pile, the boar, the extra sheep, the deer patch, the main 'forest', and it might be handy to know where your other gold- and stonepile are. Then you should scout the enemy, and see where the enemy resources are, and his lumbercamp. After that you can scout around around for additional map information. But still keep an eye on your enemy!
Again, here is a video that shows you everything about the scouting.

-Hotkeys
Hotkeys are important for fast play. You should know (almost) all the hotkeys in order to play very fast. Every hotkey saves a littlebit time, and with all the time savings together it will be a good few minutes saved at the end of the match!

-Rushing
Without rushing on arabia you are doomed. In order to set up for a dark age rush (drush) you should have 1 villager mining 10 gold and make a barracks fast. Than make 3 militia and attack with your scout and militia. Now, there are more types of rushing.
- dark age rushing - drushing,feudal age rushing - flushing,castle rushing - crushing,tower rushing - trushing,galley rushing - grushing (only on watermaps)
You can tell what they are all about practise with setting up rushes and perform them against a computer player first.
If you are getting drushed, you should wall you villagers in their resources with palisade walls they do not have to be 100% done building. If you are getting flushed, make towers and wall yourself with buildings, and the gaps with palisade walls. If crushed, make pikemen and if trushed make rams and the unit that counters the unit-type that he is attacking with while trushing. If it happens in the feudal age, he does not have murder holes yet. Which means that you can simply make feudal age units to destroy the towers.

-Economy
Your town centers cannot be idle. Most players forget about their economy in the later stage of the game when focussing on attacking. That is a bad thing to do! At your mill, click a few times on the farm icon which will make your villagers reseed them by theirselves. Often click on the idle villager button and set him to work. You want 100 villagers, and 100 battle units in the imperial age. The longer the lumberjacks have to walk to the lumbercamp, the longer they are idle. So you have to keep building lumbercamps close to the forest they are chopping of.

-houses
Do not forget about the houses! You do not want to get population capped as it will slow you down and you cannot make any units when capped. Simply remember the houses. Maybe put something next to your computer what reminds you of houses?

-who counters who?
It's very important to know who counters who. For example: spearmen/pikemen/halberdiers have an attack bonus against cavalry units, and skirmishers have a bonus against archers. You should really know who counters who! You can simply go to the age of empires wikia and look at all the units what their weaknesses are and who they are strong against.
