• Map Presentation:

    Water Nomad is a nomadic-style map where you start with several villagers and fishing ships, but no Town Center or Dock. You’ll need to construct both quickly. There are a few early-game tricks that can almost guarantee a win, especially if your opponent isn’t experienced on this map. Expect frequent galley battles, making this map ideal if you enjoy micro-intensive, chaotic Feudal Age gameplay.

    • Master a strong early-game build order. You have to check the build order at the bottom of the guide !!!

    • Avoid getting housed early on, you start with a high population and produce units fast.

    • In the Feudal Age, prioritize military micro over economic optimization.

    • Scout the area well and place houses strategically to gain vision and spot incoming enemy units.

    • As soon as you hit Feudal Age, use a villager to build a defensive tower on your most exposed resource.

    • Delay wood upgrades if you’re not building a lumber camp, it’s often not worth it early on.

    • Build additional docks to boost fishing ship efficiency.

    • Avoid gathering food unless you have a specific reason to do so in Feudal Age. Although buffaloes are plentiful, food isn’t always necessary early if you’re focusing on naval production.
