    • Build a barracks once you have 175 wood
    • Produce 2 militias and send them to harass the opponent
    • Build a mill and send villagers to berries
    • Make 3 farms
    • All remaining villagers to food until you have 23 villagers
    • Research Loom and advance to Feudal Age

  • Feudal Transition:

    • 10 villagers on wood (make a second lumber camp)
    • 5 villagers on berries
    • 3 villagers on gold
    • Rest on food under the TC

  • Feudal Age:

    • Build 2 archery ranges and produce archers constantly
    • Upgrade wood technology
    • Aim to get 8 villagers on gold
    • Build a blacksmith for +1 attack upgrade
    • Transition to straggler trees and farms
