Play against fast scout rush

Play against fast scout rush was created by Juanferiv
Hello, in open maps I usually go men at arms into archers, I get to feudal between 10:05 and 10:10 with the militia already in enemy´s base. Is there a special way to play when the other player gets to feudal arround 9:30 and make an early scout rush?

Hey Juan, great question!
You can make 1 spearman before you upgrade men at arms, send that forward and then it will be impossible for the scouts player to clean you up fast. If he's massing up to clean your men at arms, you can even send a second spearman forward after your man at arm upgrade. However beware of a counter attack with the scouts, then you'd need defensive spearmen after the 1 that went to forward.
Let me know if you got any follow up questions,

Thanks for your answer, I have follow up questions. Should I send the militia forward as soon as I can or should I wait for the first spearman?, after that, should I continue with the two archeries and make archers as normal?

You can attack with them as fast as you can, but don't dive in too deep into his base. Otherwise then he might be able to cut you off before the spear arrives, also remember early feudal even if he went fast scouts by the time your militia reach he shouldn't have gotten more than 1 scout out, and can't fight your militia yet
Follow up: I personally likedto try and go fast up (make 1 range and mass, semi FC and wall up before scouts arived) however two archery range approach isn't bad either, but they will switch to skirms, and playing against scouts and skirms is tough after he gets mass mid/late feudal. But if you decide to do the 2 archery range you will have early pressure (you can do similar followup attack as www.aoebuilds.com/aoe2-classes/course/ar...sh/archers-vs-scouts ) you have the real possibility to kill that player very fast, but overall it's a tricky match up which ever player you are (scouts player, or m@arms player)
So 2 range is a good idea, but you have to remember to put hard pressure early, remember to also cover your archers with spears, what makes it tricky is if you get raided by the scouts at the same time, and don't have spears in position.
Let me know if you have any further questions, ill be happy to try and clarify,
