RTS games
I own the Gold Edition of Age of Empires II & Dune 2000 and use to own Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds. I played them both for a while, but I must admit that I sucked at RTS games as much as I suck at HoMM3.
I can usually handle playing the computer in RTS games, as in HoMM3, but throw me in against real people and I get shelacked every time. So, if you are looking for strategies you might want to listen to what I have to say and do the opposite! Hahaha!

I used to play this game a while ago. I had some pretty good strategies back when I was playing. I really can't remember them enough to post them, I wouldn't want to make you lose because I messed up my strategies. 
Was a great game though.

A lot of workers... more more more....
first age : 20 workers
18 food (hunting, recolecting)
2 wood
second age: 46 workers
18 food
18 wood
5 stone
5 gold
Third age: 60 workers
20 food
20 wood
10 stone
10 gold
Fourth age: 80 - 100 workers
30 food +
30 wood +
10 stone
20 gold +
This is a base economic strategy... if you have resources you can build an army  ...
A war strategy: Depends of the civilitazition...
If you have an Infantry civilization (aztecs, godos)
you must have a lot of cuartels (5 - 10) some archeries (2 - 4)... use your infatery with the archers behind
With a cavalry civilization (bizantines, Hunos, Spanish, frances) you can use a "HIT AND RUN" Strategy, you speed in the horses can use to affect the enemy's economy, you know worker's hunt.
Also you must know some basic "CONTRAS" and "PROS" for the units...
- Horses are strong versus archers but weak versus pikemens
- Infantry are strong versus calvalries but weak versus archeries
- Archers are strong versus infantry but weak versus calvalry

But you are forgetting that Siege units are slow, whereas Ranged Cavalry are fast.
but you forget micromanaging everything is impossible.
Besides what will your poor little conquistidors do.
honestly celts and koreans have strong onagers and celt onagers fire fast.
also hussars are strong against cavalry archers

You could be any one you want, but I am either being Turks or Spanish.
Btw there is another thread for this which is more active (or at least has more posts in it), so could we start posting in that one?
It might be on the second page or so, maybe the third.

Hey lord_crusader, got any room for troops after the villagers? I mean 100 for four resources means 25 for each resource. You'll exhaust the map after about half an hour!
As for me, the Spanish are the best of the new, but nothing beats the good ole' Turks. Ya wanna talk strategy, I'm in for a spell.
In the battle between William and mamgaeater, it depends on how many onagers mamgaeater has. But, if Will has any more than 70 conquistadors, its bad for mamgaeater.
As for my strategical mind, I'd consider myself a veteran at the game. With the Turks, of course. What suck for you is attacking me, and i've put Bombard towers in every possible place outrageously fast, then pelt you with Janissaries from cliffs or behind walls. Then send in my heavy siege (yes I use trebuchets for garrison). Even petards. Oh i love petards.

Lol, it is either Turks or Spanish for me. I must say that the Turks are one of the better Civilizations in the original Age of Empires 2, and then for the Expansion, the Spanish are the strongest by far, there is nothing that compares to them in terms of strength.

If you see Guitarguy, go ask him how many Conquistadors I make, and he should give you an approximation of just how many I make, and I make ALOT!!
Onagers take too long to shoot again, and that is bad for them, but good for Cavalry, because they can move faster then them and ranged Cavalry which are very strong are even more worse against them.
One thing though, if you have a few Onagers, or maybe just one, but you have the Conquistadors all in a pack, then that will be bad for them, since the Onagers attack can hit a few units if they are close enough. They can also take away trees too, just in case you did not know that

hehe, Turks are awesome, but Turks on Cavalry are even better!!
I too place bombard towers everywhere possible, but the problem with that is, if the enemy is close to your wall or close to a building, then the Bombard Tower may hit the enemy unit AND your own building, which can be annoying at times. Usually I just place Castles everywhere though.
I don't use Petards that often though....

I didn't say the Bombard Towers were near my main city.
And petards are suprisingly annoying. Albeit expensive, but annoying. Especially to infantry. I also enjoy playing the Aztecs. Their Monks are insane, ending up with 125 hitpoints!

Even Turks and Spanish are good, real pro is the one who plays with worst factions and wins.
