Build 2 houses, then place the first 6 villagers on sheep

Send villagers 7 through 10 to wood and build a Lumber Camp

Villager 11 lures the first boar

The next villager builds 2 houses and a Mill; establish 5 villagers on berries while an existing villager lures the second boar

Send the next villager to food under the Town Center; turn the 2 weakened boar hunters into farmers

Send the next 5 villagers to a second woodline and build a second Lumber Camp

Send the next 2 villagers to gold and build a Mining Camp

Send the final villagers to stone and start the stone income before clicking up

Research Loom, then click Feudal at 28 population; gradually move the exhausted sheep villagers onto a total of 5 farms

On reaching Feudal, build a Market with 2 lumberjacks and a Blacksmith with 1; queue 2 villagers to stone and rebalance to 6 stone miners

Click Castle Age as soon as the buildings and 2 villagers finish. Research Double-Bit Axe and Horse Collar after the click when affordable

29 villagers total

When berries expire, send 1 forager to gold and turn the other 4 into farmers; send about 5 new villagers to gold

As 650 stone is secured, move the stone miners into position and build the castle immediately on reaching Castle Age—defensively, or forward if they left early enough

Produce continuously from the castle. Move with 3–4 Conquistadors or a slightly larger group of slower units, then add farms, gold and Town Centers behind the pressure
