Strategy:Blitzkrieg

Blitzkrieg (lightning warfare) is a military strategy devised by the Nazis in WWII. It is commonly known as a "rush" in RTS games and is a very effective strategy in the Age of Empires Series. To execute this strategy, the player must first stockpile large amounts of resources, preferably in the thousands. While the peasants are gathering resources, the player must devote a large amount of resources to combat by training a large army (preferably cavalry or ranged cavalry). Once the entire army is trained, the player must move the army as fast as possible to prevent the enemy from constructing fortifications and other defensive structures. This strategy works best in 2 player games but is not really as effective if more players are in the game.
