Aoe2 Break the Meta #7: Fearless Fast Castle Age with No Walls

In7 of my Break the Metafor Age of Empires 2 I analyzed a situation in which a Fast Castle Age with no walls was ually an effective strategy on the map Arabia. Due to the sparse forests and tall elevation in Arabia, going for a Fast Castle Age without any walls or initial aggression can be incredibly risky. However, DauTs open map generation and an unfavored civilization matchup forced him to think outside of the box. With no walls, no drush, and both stone mines forward, DauT hatched a plan to turn this game around. \r
