yeah i would say the same. a knight rush will b a little slow, but if you micro well, it can work. rangers r good too, but dont do a straight to rangers rush. heres what I do: a double barraks spam untill mid game to hold off his goblin hords. this does two things 1, it gives you the time to go 2 your better units like rohirrim and fire arrow rangers, and 2, it forces them to make a tough decision: whether to continue a baisic goblin spam (which by now you should be well equiped to defeat) or whether to switch to lesser numbers of elite units. those late-gam goblin units arnt gonna be able to stand up to your units, since the same units that will murder scores of goblins also work on the later goblin units (such as half-troll pikes and swordsmen, and spider riders). overall, once youve beaten the initial goblin spam, you can be assured of victory.
hope this helps!
