Map Presentation:

Haboob is a open land map that allows early game aggressions. Early aggression is common, as players often try to raid each other’s economies to gain an early advantage being really really close. This map is perfect for Feudal Age enjoyers who love fast-paced action but also for messy dark age enjoyers who like to lame.

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

  • Take your forward ressources as fast as possible
  • Don’t try to fully wall your base, do some practical walls and a defensive tower instead.
  • Once you have the army advantage you can go for forward towers in the feudal age, put some vills on stone and go for it ! 

  • Never idle your Town Center.

  • 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!

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

  • Expand with town centers as the game progresses even if you want to play aggressive

Recommended Build Orders: (For all feudal age rushes I recommend adding forward towers mid-feudal)

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.

  • Go on stone and make the game messy with forward towers while you keep making army.

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.
