I can think of no reason why I wouldn't just tower rush forevermore...

The civ that I was infatuated with for a long time was the Celts - and I'll probably always play them from time to time. But I also love Poles and Teutons.

Without hardly practicing at all, and with absolutely terrible execution I've totally stomped my most recent opponent with Pole tower rush. The eco behind your trush is unreal. Extra food from the fulwark farms and then additional gold just from mining stone. This civ is begging you to trush into forward castle into szclachta privilege (castle tech) into the most spammable, bloodlined knights and cavaliers in the game ( szclachta privileges make Pole cavalry 60% cheaper).

BuHHt tHeY'RRee miSSiNg TeHh pLaTe BaRDIng ahrMoRZ!! --- who cares you nerd - i have 100 of them and they cost me nothing because of the castle tech and I'm already trying to do anythign I can with the gold coming out of my ears because I've stolen all of yours and I get extra just for mining stone.

In this last game, I didn't even get my villagers to my opponents base until a full 60 seconds after I hit feudal. I also got 4 MAA killed by TC fire... but it doesn't matter because under 1200 elo your opponent just pops the blood vessel in the front of his forehead every time you drop a tower on their gold. I'd predict that most of my games would end somewhere in feudal after I've put my 2nd or 3rd tower up near their "minerals" in fact. To add insult to injury I start mining their stone/ gold right in front of them under the protection of a tower.
