Hello,
I normally play open maps like Arabia, and usually go men at arms into archers, then keep pressure in Castle with siege push. Recently I have had to play in Arena map and have been struggling because of my playing style. Is there an specific civ and build order to be agressive in Arena?, are there any recomendations on how should I play in this map?
Thank you.

Hey Juanferiv
Arena is indeed very different from arabia, when you haven't played it before.
Check the Fast Castle into UU Build order and video, you can use that type of play with number of civs; Spanish, Mayans, Turks, Burmese, Portuguese; basically with all the strong ranged UU' atleast.
One of my personal favorites from the site is the Cuman 2 tc boom into Kipchaks. The Dark/Feudal build is on the site already, but the castle age part has not been added yet, however you can watch it through with this link: vimeo.com/453381548 (Once the video is added to a video class, the link will stop working)
Basically the ''safer'' aggressive play is to make a defensive castle, leave your stone villagers, get the map control with your UU, add petards, make a castle in his base and work with siege from there.
Let me know if you have any follow up questions,

Hi, thank your for your answer, should I start making the army only with the unique units? or should I start conbining them from the beginning, for example, if I go with Mayans, how could I conbine the plumed archer? Sorry another question, before moving forward with the second castle, how many TCs should I have in my base? thank you.

Usually the unique units, you don't need or can't really add any ''units'' however monks are always possible to add + getting the relics too. So mostly you just can do the unique unit + monks and maybe siege. For the agressive castles play you also most of the time can't add more than 1 tc - sometimes only 1 tc (whit janissary and conq, for example adding early tc so pretty hard - with something like Plums, arambai, wood - gold units in general it's easier to get 1 extra tc. But the play itself is pretty all in-ish so as long as you can spend your resources, don't worry about adding the tc's especially with food+gold UU's.

Also you can make the 1st castle aggressive but it can be big gamble if your enemy is making any early castle army like xbow or lcav (wall villagers in that case, but they might be able to denie the castle with tower in that case)
