Place the first 6 villagers on sheep and push deer efficiently with the Scout

Send the next 4 villagers to wood; this route plans roughly 4 Dark Age farms

Bring both boars under the Town Center and prioritize efficient hunt; start farms whenever hunters cannot fit cleanly

Establish 4 villagers on berries, then grow the wood count to 7–9 depending on how early you want the Castle Town Centers

Send the final 2 Dark Age villagers to gold

Click Feudal Age at 27 population

At about 60% of the Feudal transition, build a Barracks where the opponent cannot see it; keep scouting relics and return the Scout before the enemy reaches Feudal

26 villagers total

Queue 2 Feudal villagers. Start the Market immediately, add the Stable, and research Double-Bit Axe when food allows

Click Castle Age as soon as the two Feudal buildings finish; research Horse Collar after the click if it would delay the uptime

28 villagers total

During the Castle transition, add farms according to the plan: more farms sustain more Scouts, fewer farms preserve wood for faster Town Centers

Produce about 6 Scouts, upgrade them to Light Cavalry on reaching Castle Age, and use them to watch the gates and stop forward villagers

Place a forward Monastery and produce 2 Monks; the initial 2 gold miners are enough for them if relic control is the priority

Add the second and third Town Centers as wood allows, then spend wood continuously on farms and houses while all Town Centers produce

At roughly 18 farms, decide between Castle Age pressure, stone for a castle, or continuing to about 30 farms and 70 villagers for an Imperial click
