Map Presentation

Golden Swamp is a open hybrid map that features both land and water action. Most of the gold is in the middle of the map making it important to control. Each match can play out differently, as players may prioritize water or land based on situational factors.

A solid build order is essential, making this a great map to practice the early game and improve your multitasking skills.

    • Practice your Dark Age efficiency and stick to a solid build order.

    • Avoid getting housed early, your production will be high.

    • Don’t over invest into fishing ships, they are very exposed
    • Never idle your Town Center.

    • Prioritize a well-placed lumber camp, wood is your most important resource.

    • Don’t hesitate to build a defensive tower in Feudal Age, dying with 200 stone in the bank is a waste!

    • Once you click the Feudal Age, reduce the number of villagers on food. Prioritize wood instead, so you can keep producing fishing ships, more woods = more buildings and fishing ships.

    • Don’t plan on making farms too early, there is a lot of free food to collect.
    • Always spend your wood

    • Making 1 demo can be very useful
    • Make new docks to improve your fishing efficiency

    • In the castle age add economy, this map often reaches the imperial age.

    • Plan on making a castle in the middle, some map control is needed ! 
    • Boats>land army at any stage of the game.
