I have been playing my games slowly to start with building up my economy and gettin loads of upgrades but now i want to try a new stategy of just producing loads of troops early on and getting a second castle early in a game.I was wondering what troops would be best to mass produce to swiftly strike somones castle early in the game?

Scouts to start with, I routinely use them in combination with either pikes/squires and archers or ballistas. Probably half the time,(I invade early), I will only have archers and not yet teched up to ballistas. But I focus on getting a barracks training ballistas as soon as possible.

Of course, there are always a few techs you should not neglect

Taxes are ESSENTIAL.

Also aim to get the advanced training tech, a third barracks, and if possible, expert training upgrades.
A market + market techs are especially useful for focussing your resource base at one area, although you shouldn't worry about getting it immediately...!

u might want to cause u can also learn tax reform with market place

Good comments...but the topic is Troop production, for quick conflicts if I read his question correctly. Raptor you like getting the action going quickly..share your suggestions for troops with us.
