Send new villagers (5, 6) created at the TC to harvest sheep.Harvest one animal at a time to prevent carcass decay which lowers the amount of harvestable food. Send villagers (1, 2, 3) to harvest sheep once they've built the houses.The new villager (4) created should begin harvesting sheep under the TC.Send the other villager (3) to build a separate house.Leave enough space around your TC for farms. Send two villagers (1, 2) to build one house.Immediately send any found sheep back to your TC. Find domesticated animals (like sheep) and wild animals (like boars) near your TC. Have your scout expanding out in rings around your base.Immediately queue up as many villagers as possible in your Town Center (TC).In the castle age however, a Cavalier has the same HP as a knight with bloodlines and +2 attack, making them as good as a Lithuanian knight with 2 relics. The downside of using the Cavalier as the Burgundians is that they don’t have bloodlines. This also helps with researching Paladin as soon as you hit the Imperial age because the upgrade costs just 650 food and 375 gold.

This gives you a great saving on resources once you take into account the cheaper husbandry and cavalier upgrades, saving you 225 food and 150 gold. secondly, the Burgundians also have a bonus where their stable technologies are 50% cheaper. Firstly, the Burgundians are able to research cavalier in the castle age, hence why it is like a knight rush. You will be able to wall, especially since the new buff, but you’ll still be leaving yourself vulnerable to a feudal age attack.Īs well as the cheaper eco upgrades that are also able to be researched 1 age early, the Burgundians also benefit from other bonuses that make this build order possible. As with any knight rush build order, this Burgundian cavalier rush is very vulnerable should you use this on an open map like Arabia. This is a great build order to use in team games or closed maps like Hideout. This should make the build order a little bit smoother to complete. This should mean that you can research double bit axe at around 11 population rather than 16 or 17. Their eco upgrades now cost 50% less food than they did when I created this build order. This AOE2 Burgundians build order for the cavalier rush is a little out of date as the Burgundians have recently received a buff. Here is how to knight rush if you’re playing as the Burgundians.
