Rulebook for AoE2 DE

[Bad Hair Day]

In my opinion, this site sucks:

https://ageofempires.fandom.com/wiki/Technology_(Age_of_Empires_II)

I'm just looking for info on the "outpost" which is a very basic tower. I can't find the entry for an outpost anywhere in that site. I'm also not finding it when I look in the civ/race for Celts, which is what I am playing right now (William Wallace tutorial).

Wikipedia also sucks, they don't even try to give the rules, just briefly describe the game itself.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Age_of_Empires_II

This one is too basic: https://www.ageofempires.com/learn-to-play/control-resources-aoe2/


This is decent enough for just some basic strats, but it doesn't feature a book of rules: https://www.windowscentral.com/age-empires-ii-definitive-edition-beginners-guide


WHERE DO I GO FOR A STRAIGHT UP RULEBOOK?

Official websites list of instructions appear pretty good. Even shows examples of the tech tree.

To access the tech tree simply click on their icon in the top right or in a skirmish or online lobby click on the technology tree button. You can scroll the tree and you can see the Outpost building.

Also a quick Google search also shows the information for Outposts

Why are you so interested in this simple building?

Ageofempires.fandom rulez very hard.
Only navigation sucks, so when looking for Outpost, I type in Google "Aoe2 Outpost". And fandom will be the first and best hit for sure. You can find celtic tech tree with F5 ingame or on fandom with Google search: "Aoe2 Celts".

An Outpost is not a technology so you won't find it in a page about technologies. However, if you search for "Outpost" in the fandom website (upper right corner), you'll find the page "Outpost (Age of Empires II)"

If you just started the game, the William Wallace campaign will explain you the very basics. If you want to play it further, I recommend playing The Art of War scenarios.

I bookmarked this page
https://ageofempires.fandom.com/wiki/Age_of_Empires_II:Portal

From there you can go to every Civ's page, and under the tab "Tree" you usually find all the information you want.
E.g. Outpost is under "Defensive structures"

Another good site for information is
https://aoe2techtree.net/

If you click on Advanced Info it tells you the additional armor and bonus damage values of units and buildings.

.

The ingame tutorial as well as the "Lessions of War" ?!? campaign should give you all the information you need to beat the Moderate AI after a few tries.

There are a lot of Outposts in the last William Wallace mission

Took me 2 seconds of search.
