Rush · Abbey — House of Lancaster AoE4

Abbey of Kings at 1:55 (0:00–3:55)

Build the Abbey of Kings at 1:55 with 3 miners, put 3 villagers on stone for the Manor, and reach Age II at 3:55 with 17 villagers.

0:00 — 6 villagers on sheep.
0:20 — Rally on gold: the next 3 go to the Mining Camp.
1:20 — Rally on food until Age II.
1:55 — The Abbey of Kings, built by 3 miners, who go back to gold once it is done.
2:00 — 3 sheep villagers to stone, with a Mining Camp; rally on the isolated trees until a Manor can be built.
3:20 — At 100 stone gathered, the stone villagers go to the trees.

Build a Manor on the wood, chain Hobelars and Lords of Lancaster (up to 4), then launch a dive at 7:00 on the villagers, with Iron Undermesh.

3:55 — Age II: a Manor built by 2 woodcutters, against the treeline with the sheep within its radius (and the gold if possible). The 3 Abbey builders go back to gold.
4:20 — Two Stables, or another military building depending on the situation. Non-stop Hobelars, with Yeomen or Spearmen; Lords of Lancaster up to 4, as a priority.
5:00 — New villagers go to food.
6:00 — Aim for about 10 villagers on food, 7 on wood and 6 on gold.
7:00 — A Blacksmith and Iron Undermesh. Once done, launch the dive, mostly targeting villagers; pull a unit back rather than lose it.
— After the first successful dive, go back to heal the units at the Abbey of Kings, then launch another raid in Age III with more units, Hill Training and Siege Engineering if possible.

Lords of Lancaster up to 4 as a priority, then Hobelars non-stop; Yeomen against the opponent’s Spearmen or Men-at-Arms.
The 7:00 dive mostly targets villagers: it is better to pull a unit away from the fight than to lose it.
The “Feodal rush” variant (DopaDypa, after Beasty): 4 Lords of Lancaster from the Abbey of Kings, 12 villagers on wood, up to 15 on wood if needed.
The Manor goes against the treeline, keeping the sheep, and the gold if possible, within its radius.
