Strategy:Springboard

Springboard is a strategy used in team games only and typically during Age of Empires II. It involves two pieces, a spring and a springboard. The springboard essentailly launches the spring from the Feudal Age onwards through the market and tributes. It allows the spring to reach the Imperial Age quickly and deploy vastly superior units against the other team. Variations of the springboard are the Rushing Springboard, in which the springboard simultaneously coordinates a rush, the three person springboard, which has the third player rush the opposing springboard, and the dual spring, which has two springs and two springboards.

The Spring
The spring should be a strong Imperial Age civilization. The Spring should have gunpowder and calvary.
