Map Presentation:

Mountain Ridge is a open land map that allows aggresive gameplay. You will have to make a lot of units to harass the opponent eco and control the important ressources on the map. This map is perfect for Feudal Age enjoyers who love fast-paced action.

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

  • Prioritize micro 100% if you are raiding the opponent base.

  • Never idle your Town Center.

  • Take safer resources, ideally those located toward the back of your base.

  • Use the shore fish as if you were collecting berries on other maps, enjoy the free food but don’t abuse it as farms are better long term.

  • Secure your base early with short walls connecting to your Town Center.

  • Get the town watch upgrade in the feudal age, it helps again raidings

  • Scout your opponent well and adapt your strategy accordingly.

  • Play to your civilization’s strengths, whether it’s military units or economic bonuses.

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

  • If the game gets too messy have some vills on stone for even more towers.

  • In Castle Age, play for map control and punish greedy booms with a forward castle.

  • Use castles to the middle hill later.

Suggested Gameplan:

Dark Age:

  • Focus on executing your build order.

  • Scout your map properly to find key resources and walling potential.

Feudal Age:

  • Complete your build order and start walling your base once your main goal is achieved.

  • Add counter units based on what your opponent is creating.

Castle Age:

  • Build a second Town Center on a good woodline, treat it like a large lumber camp.

  • Stick to two Town Centers to maintain military pressure.

  • Add more counter units as needed.

  • Take map control and put pressure on the front of your opponent’s base.

  • Once you gain map control, take a lot of stone and look to drop a forward castle near your opponent to hit his base.
