1-Range Archers
SurvivalistCreator guide ↗The 19-villager timing gets the first Archers moving early while one range keeps the wood and gold investment controlled. Preserve the first mass and add the Blacksmith before treating a second range as automatic.
Add one to four Spears only when enemy Scouts can actually reach the Archers or your exposed economy. Otherwise that food belongs in villagers, upgrades and the Castle transition.
Against a long Feudal defence, add the second range and continue pressure. If the opponent sits behind Skirmishers and walls, keep the Archer mass alive, farm earlier and convert it into a Crossbow timing.
