Build the 2 starting houses with the initial villagers, then establish the first 6 villagers on sheep under the Town Center

Send villagers 7 through 9 to wood and build a Lumber Camp

Villager 10 lures the first boar; finish the current sheep before switching the food villagers

Send villagers 11 and 12 to food under the Town Center

At 13 population, take one food villager to build 2 houses, then return it to food

12 villagers total

Send the next 4 villagers to berries and build a Mill

Lure the second boar before the first one runs out so food remains under the Town Center

Send villager 17 to food and villagers 18 through 20 to wood; seed 1 Dark Age farm and research Loom

Click Feudal Age at 21 population: 20 villagers plus the starting Scout

During the transition, move 2 food villagers to wood, then build a Barracks and a house

Queue 2 villagers before reaching Feudal and rally them to straggler trees

On reaching Feudal Age, build a Stable with 2 villagers and research Double-Bit Axe and Horse Collar

Produce villagers and Scouts continuously, turning straggler villagers into farmers as wood allows

Move out with 4 Scouts; add more only when they can create damage or win the Scout war

Use one villager per gap to finish the walls while the Scout group applies pressure

At roughly 400 banked food, stop adding farms and rally new villagers to gold

Build a Mining Camp and a Blacksmith, then click Castle Age once 200 gold and 800 food are secured

During the Castle transition, refresh the Lumber Camp, add a second Stable and research Bloodlines when affordable

On reaching Castle Age, make the first Knights and add a Town Center on a strong woodline
