Essentially, you’re looking to reach the Castle Age as quickly as possible with a strong Eco behind you. To keep things simple, let’s say you’re playing a 100% land map (no water, no docks).Ī very popular strategy, especially at very low levels, is the Fast Castle. Having a set build order can mean that you advance to the Feudal Age - and even the Castle Age - without ever having any idle time if everything goes smoothly. We’ll talk all about strategies (like Archer rush, Fast Castle and more) in the next section.įortunately for us, smart people have already run the numbers and calculated the perfect build orders for executing specific plans. The strategy you wish to deploy for a game will determine your build order.
The more efficient you are, the quicker your Eco grows and the quicker you can begin pressuring your opponent with attacks. Having reliable and repeatable build orders allows you to start every game as efficiently as possible.
