Hello! I haven't played AoE since ages, and I'm looking for a good strategy I can learn to allow me win games and improve from there. Apparently AoE doesn't seem to be like Starcraft where all build orders are systematically classified so you can try them out over and over again until you get the timing you want, AoE build orders seem to be much harder to find.

So, what is the recommended/easiests/effective strategy for a beginner? Flush? Castle Age Knights rush? Boom? What civ? Any replays / videos I can see on that?

Thanks in advance :-)

try there.
