its nearly imposible win against Turk after imperal age if there is enough gold.

First dont ever let your opponet boom secound try massed skirms light cavs and some heavy sporps and onagers hope this help:)

its just not possible in a land map. your best bet is to hold as long as possible and wait until his gold depletes. post imp viks is probably the worst civ in land map, while turks is one of the best (together with mongols, korea and celts, because of their op unique tech)

there are two situations if you play vik (you fast imp in both):
if he does fast imp: turk early imp is devastating, with instant hand cannoneers and bbcs & hussars, but it will leave his economy really low. This is the moment to fight because viks can do a fast imp as well but with huge economy difference. So you hold his attack and in the long run, your eco will make you win

if he doesn't fast imp: you obviously do fast imp and it's gg, completely impossible to defend arb / ram combo if he still castle booming. but not likely to happen unless enemy is very noob.

Cavalary archers kill turk"s jannisary easily. So u can try that......

onagers ! **** em all !

50 spearmen will do the job.

The best way to counter any range army is also using an army composed of range units. The longer are the range, better for you. It's suggest to you select about 10-15 units to direct the arrows into one enemy unit per time, so you'll weaken the group slowly.

Archers + Bombard Cannon seems the best option as BC got a huge range.

Well it exists a way, here we go: viks have capped rams, make 6 minimum and send them straight into the jenisar so they suck up as much fire as posibble, and champs to protect them from the husars (or even use cavalier). Then a main force of arbalest like 30, and onagers like 5 and put them as close as possible to the jenisar so they erase them. even though if viks have no siege onager theyre onager can do the job. viks also have heavy scorps it can help too. As you see, you have to be creative and use the whole range of units the Viks have. In AOE every civ can be countered, but not with just one unit, but with variety, hope it helped. (well except byzantines how do you stop 30 cataphracts, 30 camels and 30 palas!!?)

The key is to not let him get there in the first place.

Spam Militia! usually does the trick

Bunch of ****ing ****s replying to this thread.

Just send 5 rams in front of 40 arablests and those jannisarys are dead. GG

turks can be unstopable with proper pop and monks behind them ...

kill monks first and then attack with pala or its archers use onagers or scorpians

Use 5 or more Paladins + Skirmisher.

i tried mass huskarls but i couldn t !
