After the drop

dudududududuDrop dat Town Bell.Assuming your TC is now safely snug inside the enemy's base, what comes next is key to your survival.What the conventional strategy says to doGarrison TC and shoot the enemy TC.I'll tell you now this is NOT what you should be doing. Lets consider the math involved.213 seconds to take down the enemy TC with 10 villagers in your TC, 1 repairer will mitigate the DPS. It costs them 2.85 wood/s and 0.26 stone/s, which amounts to 8 woodcutters and 1 stone miner. It will only ever be an even trade if the enemy does this. Even worse is if the enemy ignores your TC and simply rebuilds elsewhere. You accumulate 2130 seconds idle time and the enemy moves their TC into a more defendable position.Garrisoning villagers and firing arrows also makes villagers take down buildings slower than they would with their melee attack, making it less than ideal. Instead, there are many other things you can achieve while douching.Douching basics 101. Remember you can also try walling in the enemy TC if they're not firing at you.Especially important is stone. Stop them making towers and suddenly your life is made a whole lot easier.Unlike the conventional douche, you sit your TC in range of theirs only so they are intimidated and cannot farm around half of their TC. They may attack your TC, however all you need to do is repair it every now and then and make sure you have Double Bit Axe and plenty of woodcutters. Any idle villagers in their TC are only hurting their economy. Persians have double the TC HP so they only pay half as much to repair the same amount of HP.Alternatively, let the enemy destroy your TC and immediately rebuild it. You accumulate ~400 total idle time rebuilding whilst the enemy has accumulated ~2130 idle time destroying it.Although taking down a barracks/ mill won't prevent them from subsequently making ranges+stables/ farms, the idle time vs the resource cost when using a villager is actually closer than you might imagine. Ideally you'd want to take down their buildings in the Dark Age as they're weaker, but more often than not they'll hit Feudal before you.Feudal buildings taken down by 1 villagerBarracks (175 wood)- 11:18 idle time, during which 244 wood could have been gathered.Dropoff building (100 wood)- 5:48, 121 wood.If you manage to attack the building downhill, even better.If you've ever watched a pro game where they're defending against a drush, you'll know that they funnel enemy militia into their TC with walls/ buildings. You can apply this concept to zone off a large portion of the enemy base using your TC as the focal point.Pretty self explanatory. Make sure to wall in your villagers at your old base.
