Aoe2 Break the Meta #6: Tower Rush with Transport Ships

In6 of my Break the Metafor Age of Empires 2 I analyzed a situation in which a Tower Rush was ually an effective strategy on the water map Islands. While Trushes are normally a land map strategy, a clever player can still use a transport ship to catch an unsuspecting opponent off-guard. When your opponent commits to a Galley Rush they might not have enough resources to defend on land if you take the fight straight to their own island. \r
