• • 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.
    
    

  • Place your houses in order to wall to the town center long term

  • 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 make more buildings.

  • Always make atleast one hulk ship no matter what to protect your fish or attack the opponent’s fish.
  • Always spend your wood
    
  • Make more boats to fight in the feudal age no matter what your strategy is. 
  • Click “fishing line” uprade if your fishing ships are untouched. 
  • Wall the middle crossing if you won the water and keep some boats so opponent can’t cross
    
    
  • If you won the water, patrol some boats to spot the redocks.

•  
  • Pick up the relics on the side, it can win you the late game

Recommended Build Orders

For begginers I recommend: 

• Fast Castle knights with fishing ships picking up the relics

For mid elos I recommend: 

• man at arms (land oriented) 
• man at arms (water oriented)

For Higher levels I recommend: 

• Fast feudal water fight into adapt on land (counter units)
• Instant drush into dock into maa + archers + water (with a good early dark age civ like persians)

For some fun and a challenging build order: 

• Forward with men at arms, tower and some boats to fight water.
