yeah it's the strongest unit

Open your desired map in the editor, delete enemy units until they've got a single horse or peon left, then enjoy your comfy city building sim.

The bots cheat breh. But they are also easily beaten by skilled players. Anyway, google is your friend. But online multiplayer is a hell of a lot more fun.

Learn basic build orders, timings and strategies for a handful of your favorite civs to play as.
>What should I focus on?
getting good
>Is cavalry the strongest unit in game?
Generally yes, but AoE2 is a game of rock-paper-scissors. Cavalry will do poorly against pikemen but cavalry in general is pretty strong.

If you can't defeat the hardest AI in vanilla AoE2 then you're a scrub. Check some tuts and strategies.

1v1, huns only, arabia

>have to adopt korean starcraft strategies and have your brain cybernetically linked to the computer to beat the AI
Guess RTS's aren't the genre for me

campaign is the only way to play AoE.

Multiplayer is too stressful

Download the [ZeroEmpires] Fast Castle Tutorial from the steam workshop, practice the scenario until you get at least a C. Then you should be able to beat mid level AI easily.

>Is cavalry the strongest unit in game?

Well, I mean technically pound for pound the Persian War Elephant is the "strongest" unit it the game. You should use a cavalry army if you're playing a cavalry civilisation.
