22-Pop Archers

This is a straightforward Archer mass build. Build your economy up to 22 villagers before hitting Feudal Age, then run 2 Archery Ranges producing Archers non-stop. It works best with civilizations that have a foot archer bonus: Britons (range), Mayans (cost), Ethiopians (fire rate), or Vietnamese (+20% HP).

5. [] Lure 2nd boar
6. [] 2 villagers to gold (build mining camp)

What next: In Castle Age, get Crossbowman and Bodkin Arrow right away. You can add a Stable for cavalry support if needed. For civilizations with an archer Unique Unit (Rattan Archer for the Vietnamese, Plumed Archer for the Mayans), transition into your Unique Unit once you reach Castle Age.
