I have a team strtegy - byzantians, spanish and britonians on a team islands type map. First of all use mapedditor to take care your town centres are just beside each other and triple the resources around (do the same for the other team so that it can be fair), then every player starts developing in his own way but in some time the one must have advanced to the imperial age and have given something to the common fortress, the common army and the common fleat. Like this
1.Byzantians:
A.Fortress:
Fortificed wall all around and 2-4 gates.
B.Army:
Paladin, Elite Catafract.
C.Fleat:
Fast Fire Ship
2.Brytonians:
A.Fortress:
A line of keeps behind the wall.
B.Army:
Heavy Cavalery Archer, Elite Longbowman
C.Fleat:
Transport Ship
3.Spanish
A.Fortress:
A line of bombard towers behind the wall. (order of towers in tower line: 2xKeep, 1xBombard, 2xKeep... and so on)
B.Army:
Smth, Elite Conquestador
C.Fleat:
Elite Cannon Galeon

Our most recent game...
My armed force at the end of a truly bloody campaign.
I couldn't get a snapshot of William's full army, but this guy was one of them.

lol.
was that when I only had 1 elite jan left?
I later developed and got much much more
EDIT:
Has anybody else got this game?
perhaps we can play on multiplayer?
I currently have the original installed, but I also have the expansion.
Reason I have the original installed is because a friend of mine does not have the expansion (you know who you are ).
If anyone else has this game, perhaps we can play.

It's only "not worth it" if I decide to unally and burn your wee village to ashes. But I don't feel compelled to do anything like that...right now.
And hmm...Britons, Celts, and Persians aren't too bad in my book now.

Tell that to your dead teammates in Unreal Tournament and they'll fry your ***.
When I first started playing AOK, I thought Onagers were useful because they were modeled after AOE's Stone Throwers and Catapults. I quickly realized, however, that the Onagers' splash was a huge problem, especially since AOK pop limits and formations allow denser crowds of troops (making allies easier to hit accidentally). It became too much of a problem, so I decided on ignoring them in favor of rams and trebuchets. Indeed, those made for much safer substitutes.

lol, I was just joking dude, relax
Onagers are good in some ways, for example, if you make them fire at a bunch of trees, then it will clear the trees, and you can go through.
This helps with being able to get somewhere quicker
Although I do agree with you that the Onagers attack can be a bit annoying, and I can understand why you would pick rams and Trebuchets.
However, Trebuchets take a while to pack and unpack, and that could mean that before the Trebuchet unpacks, it might be dead, or overrun by enemies.
Rams are also good against buildings, but they too have their weaknesses, and one of them is their slowness.
You may not even be able to get near a particular building, let's say for example a Castle, and since that shoots arrows at you, you may die before even reaching it.
Rams are also weak against Archers, and Archers can be a real problem for the Rams.
In the expansion, it is possible to garrison some units inside the Rams, I think you can garrison either 2 or 4 units inside it, and that is pretty cool
If we have another game, then I will not get Onagers, instead, I might just stick to my Jannisaries or perhaps go with another civilization that I hardly use, except I am not picking the Goths, they are the worst civilization in the game

i allways get the highest army eventually,i like to stack up 3-4 castles with trops,ussally UU or heavy caverly.
i use very little siege,more to hold the lines,i like to expand with furtifactions as will knows,lol,its simmler to pc tactic,only safer sincei cover my buildings with walls.
second i dont bother using too much kinds of
lots of UU,heavy cavarly and cavalry archers,and maybe some spearmans,just in case.
again onagers have what GG and will specified,pluses i use it against the enemy when they strike walls down,but as an attack trabuchets are much more prefferbull
i realy want GG to go and boy AoQ tomorow
pluss willy boy on every last game of me and GG you ware kind've depending on me and matt to save you little aussie ass

lol, yeah, because during most games, I often run out of gold resources or wood.
Now, with every game we have had so far, i am the one that collects the most food, lol, because food is the easiest to get, just build farms.
So that is why I need your help in defending me at early stages, because at times, i am pretty bad at resources, but I often come around at the end, and I have a pretty strong army to strike the enemy down.
i usually go for the Unique Units, as they are pretty strong, but after watching Guitarguy getting a lot of Paladins and using them for his army, I have also tried that and it is going pretty well, as Paladins are awesome units.
They have good attack, and they are really fast, so if you manage to get a whole bunch of these, then you will be able to kill the enemy pretty easy.
I also hardly ever go for the siege units as well, since they do not offer me much help, and they are expensive, and in general, they are really slow.
Onagers are good, but like I mentioned in some earlier posts, they are able to hurt friendly units but they can also clear trees down.
This is also the same with Bombard Towers, they also harm friendly units, but I am not sure if they can clear away trees, probably not.
Trebuchets I never use, unless I really really need them.
and Guitarguy, you really should get the expansion, it is sooo much better.
Farm queues are an absolute must!!!!!
