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

  • Avoid getting housed early, your production will be high.

  • Make your first dock in the back in order to have safe fishing ships early on
  • Use your houses and buildings to wall, your opponent can transport units to your base.

  • Never idle your Town Center.

  • Prioritize a well-placed lumber camp, wood is your most important resource.

  • Once you click the Feudal Age, reduce the number of villagers on food. Prioritize wood instead, so you can make more fishing ships and docks and other buildings.

  • If you don’t know which boat opponent is going for, make hulks.

  • Always spend your wood

  • Transport a villager and your scout to the opponent base on the way to the castle age so you can make a siege workshop/monastery to raid his base and get some villagers kills while fighting on water.
  • Control the middle with towers later on, they are very strong vs boats.
  • Pick up relics and consider stealing some from your opponent with a transport, it can win you the game long term.
  • Mid castle age take stone and castle drop your opponent base if he has no army
  • If you lose water you can make a castle next to the water so you have safe re dock spots.
  • Siege boats are also good vs units, use them to win the long range fights.
  • Demos are a great tool in big fights.
