Japanese 20-pop MAA into Archers
Morley GamesCreator guide ↗The 20-pop timing is tight. Morley starts with one Archery Range and only adds the second after farms and gold stabilize.
Use stand-ground or patrol carefully so the Men-at-Arms do not chase beneath the Town Center. Their job is to preserve the opening for the first archers, not die for one hit.
