I’m a long time player of AOE Rise of Rome. I just recently came back playing DE. My old school name was original_noc. Some of you might know me.
Yamato is definitely one of my favorite civilizations. You can tool rush with it. You bronze rush with it. You can even iron rush with it.
I was wondering what’s the fastest bronze time someone can get with this civ? I recently made a video on how to bronze rush with yamato and my bronze time was 11:54 seconds. I’m sure given the right map, you can probably pull 11 mins. Bronze rushing with Yamato, when your opponent doesnt wall when in tool age (most people don’t) is pretty much gg.
Hey Noccster, I think Bronze Rush Yamato is very very dangerous. I think your time is standard there if much earlier it becomes harder to sustain a good supply of calvary. Pros/very good tier Cons/Camels or Hoplites. I think the Yamato civ in Definitive Edition is best to ensure if you rush to Tool 6-7min range so always Tool (8-9mins) as I recall I think Tool is 2 min/Bronze 2:20 as helpful sidenote. Realistically one or two scouts is almost as important because it almost guarentees they dont get walled. Some very fast players can wall before a 12 min bronze rush which can discourage it from always working. Just my opinion it looks like very useful guide I just wanted to throw another idea out there for thought.
I totally agree with you. That’s why I don’t usually do a fast calv rush with Yamato. Your economy is too small. If enemy wall up before 12 minutes you’re pretty much done unless you can constantly pump those calvaries.
I prefer to have a bigger economy than a faster tool or bronze time.
I just a video on how to bronze 13 minutes with a larger population with a slow civ like Summy
I know it’s easier to do in a vs computer environment but you can pull similar numbers using the same principles and with a little luck. It 's only for water map.
Hey Noccster,
thanks for putting up these tutorials! It helped me to sharpen my bronze times and on how to pull a cav rush more efficiently. Imo these are a great help for newbies and advanced players as well, keep it up man!

I’ve tried Yamato in two games. (I was never using that civilisation before), and the Bronze rush seems to work well. Just target the villagers, always. And make sure you purchase the knights armors to maximum so you can be immune to towers.
