The Concept:
Quickly produce man-at-arms and archers to harass the opponent. Ideal for civilizations with strong infantry or strong archers.
Execution:
-
Dark Age
-
Start with 6 on sheep
-
Send 3 to wood
-
Lure boar as soon as possible, force drop food, and keep producing villagers
-
After the boar is lured:
-
Build 2 houses
-
Send that house villager to wood after
-
-
Put 4 villagers on berries
-
Go up to Feudal with 19 villagers (last villager builds the barracks)
Feudal Transition
-
Send 3 villagers to gold
-
Have 8 on wood
-
Build 3 militias during transition
-
Add 1 house
-
Queue 1 more villager
- Have the rally point of your town center on straggler trees
Feudal Age
-
Click Man-at-Arms upgrade
-
Build an Archery Range
-
Get Wood Upgrade
-
Send new villagers to straggler trees, then transition them into farms
-
Remember the rhythm:
“Vills, Archers, Farms, Go to Army” -
After 4 farms, build a Blacksmith
-
Keep adding farms and start making a counter unit based on enemy comp
-
Once you have 400 food, shift more villagers to gold
Castle Age Transition
-
Refresh your Lumber Camp for efficiency
-
Constantly ask yourself:
“What unit should I make?” – adapt to what you’re facing
