There are many ways to sword rush, here is a great strat that an average player should start out with.
Remember there is no Expansionism.
1. Waypoint cits to forage
2. Pick Civilization
3. Send a group of 6 to an iron mine. Make a settlement.
4. Send another group of 6 to another iron mine. Make a settlement.
5. Send 5 to wood.
6. Make 3 barracks with each of the 1 cit(s) left.
7. After the 3 citizens are done making barracks, make towers around your iron mines. Do not be afraid to make a wall as well.
8. As soon as the barracks are
complete, send swords to an enemy mine. Do not just way point your
swords right into his base because he may have towers up already. Do not
let your swords be picked off by towers if you can help it. If your
wing happens to be knights, move to another opponent.
9. If eco-raping allot, citizens
will automatically come out of the Town Center (TC)because of Slavery.
Keep your Town Center way pointed on wood at all times.
10. The citizens that are idle near your towers, send to hunt along with 2 other cits.
11. Seeing that this civ is a
slide, you're going to be working on your economy as well as your army.
As soon as you have enough wood make a farm. Make as many farms as you
can.
12. Pop your settlements near your mines as soon as you can.
13. Once your economy is thriving, work on gold for siege.
14. Make as many barracks as you can.
Follow a pattern:
Farm, 2 barracks, Farm, 2 barracks.
The same strategy will apply for an infantry ranged rush.
