Hi Jupe, I've a question. If I go for m@a into arch and my opponent goes for just archers and if I can't delay his archery ranges, happens that he has more archers than me. Basically I can add some skirms and defend quite good and sometimes add a mangonel in castle age, but the question is: in this case, if he has more archers than me I can't attack his base and just defending with 1 archery range or I can in some way try to attack anyway?

This should answer your questions

www.aoebuilds.com/aoe2-classes/course/me...s-reactive-defensive
or

www.aoebuilds.com/aoe2-classes/course/me...mishers-into-knights (Or the skirm/xbow version)

Note that you don't have to get the range out ASAP for skirmishers (because unless you already farmed in dark/pushed deer you won't have resources to make skirms straight away), as seen on the first video (compared to the 2nd)
Regardless if you know your enemy is going archers you can just go skirms only (atleast open that way) Then your opponent can only go scouts (or wall up and castle, in which case you should get up faster)
