The Turks

The Turks

The Turks are the other team that is usually banned from the zone, as
they have some of the dirtiest strategies imaginable. Your start off
should consist of one bombard tower up fairly early to protect against
a possible rush and then quickly grab a large chunk of the map and
build bombard non-stop. If you can get up just one bombard tower, you
will usually have established the land you wanted, so try to steal a
gold mine and trap the enemy. You will want to buy stone as well, so
sell wood and food, and make sure you have plenty of gold. Don't stop
mining stone on the map either, the more the better.

Once you start building bombard towers, the only thing that will stop
it is if the enemy either runs around it, or uses trebs and rams. To
stop them from running around it, make sure you circle their base with
bombard. As for trebs and rams, make sure you make many bombard cannons
and champs, as the turkish bombard cannons have a very long range and
waste trebs, and mass champs will destroy rams. About 40 will do you
good. Keep building bombard, at least 30 towers, but if you have stone,
by all means make more! One you feel that you've squeezed the life out
of your opponents resources, move in for the kill, take out his castles
with bombard cannons and build towers close to your cannons to protect
them. Since you aren't making much else than bombard and champs, make
at least 15-20 bombard cannons. When things look bad, simply pull them
back and let your bombard protect them. An easy and commonly used
strategy that can even frustrate experts. Nothing else is needed for
the Turks.
