Assyrians

The Assyrians are a playable civilization in Age of Empires. They have good archery units with their fire rate increased by 40%. They also have a substantial economy and are a good choice in land maps since their villagers can move 30% faster.

Strategy
The Assyrians are a good civilization for early rushes since their villager bonus allows them to scout the area faster than other civilizations. The Assyrians also have excellent archers. With their fire rate increased, a large amount of them can wipe out an entire village within minutes. This makes the Assyrians an excellent choice in small land maps.
