The Teutons

The Teutons

The Teutons are a beginner team but not much more. The difficulty in
playing the Teutons is that their units are good, but fairly expensive
and thus difficult to combine. A great strategy is using Teutonic
Knights and siege, but it takes an extremely long time to ever even
start this, and your opponents will be able to attack if you go slow.
Many like to build halberders early on, but they can take up much of
your population if you want to effectively use them, but that means you
won't have enough for Paladins, siege, T. Knights, and bombard. Others
like to go for bombard and siege, but still, that will only work on
slow enemies, and it won't gain you any ground. For these reasons, the
Teutons should be avoided once you begin intermediate play.

Aside from effectively using the Teutons in a speedy and cheap manner,
they are a great civ. Teutonic Knights rip up infantry and calvary, try
to make a point of it to always have 10-15. One time I killed 50
Halberds with 7 Teutonic Knights. Their power is amazing.

On a final note, take advantage of their bombard and above average
siege.
