Step 1 – Read the Minimap Like a Pro

  1. Look at your minimap and imagine a line from your base to your opponent’s base, the most direct route, where armies usually travel.

  2. Check where your army is right now:

    • In your half of the map → Make more army.

      • This usually means you have less map control and are defending. If you’ve been focusing more on economy, you want to stabilize and avoid dying rich, so build enough army to hold your ground.

    • In your opponent’s half of the map → Invest in more eco or go up.

      • This usually means you have map control and the army advantage. Use that advantage to grow your economy or advance to the next age, rather than overproducing military unnecessarily.

Step 2 – Aim for the Ideal Situation

Your long-term goal is to always invest slightly more than your opponent in military while maintaining map control. Why? Because with just a small extra army investment, you can:

  • Secure relics

  • Force enemy reactions

  • Deal damage

  • Gain valuable information

  • Control key areas of the map

The key is to check your minimap frequently and adjust your investment between army, economy, and age advancement based on where your forces are positioned.

In short:

  • Army on your half → More army.

  • Army on their half → More eco or go up.

Master this, and Castle Age decision-making will never feel random again.
