How to play Anglo-Saxons?
Their biggest setback is their inablility to get melee troops until tier 2, right? I personally find that slingers are hard to play with.

I also found that the enemy could simply rush you towards the start of the match before you can gain any reliable troops.

anglosaxons are the best faction in the game, imho.

in the earlygame, use traps and stand on top of them to bait enemy melee units into them.

after ur second slingers, t2. followed by barrax and longbows in any order.

just get tons of spearmen and archers. if the enemy gets lots of shields and you feel like it, add 1-2 huskarls lategame.

dont bother with shields, longbows do their job excellently as long as spearmen (with spearwall) protect them.

engagements are ez. just protect ur ranged units and mow down everything.

Well i was thinking slavs were the worst first but when i tried anglo saxons i changed my mind. Yes they are the best faction late game, but first you have to survive with only slingers and traps....It will not work against a smart player. If you get rushed there s nothing you can do.

Actually Slingers are a strong t1 united IF you use them correctly. It is crucial to get the guerilla tactics before you Tier Up though. You run back and kite the enemy and use brushes, activate guerilla tactics to completely destroy most enemy t1 squads. I get two Shields after tiering Up and then go directly for tier 3 for extra resources. Then you can start adapting your strategy by getting longbowmen etc. My 2 Slingers often survive until the end of the match. The reason for picking Shields over Spears is that Shields will be able to advance on enemy archers and the only counters are t1 germans (Keep kiting with your Slingers) or t2 vikings (can't retreat if you Catch Them in an unfavourable position).
