Talk:Skirmisher (Age of Empires II)/@comment-3360891-20160604071755

Nothing like a nice, large group of skirmishers to dominate the early game. Since their main Feudal Age counters (namely the  Militia line  and  Scout Cav. ) are rather expensive in terms of food, the opponent will have a hard time dealing with them and getting to Castle Age in good time. Keep harassing the gold miners, and the game is yours!
