Build Order
This build order is for land maps, preferbly high hunt maps.
Arhaic Age
- Build dock and put gaia trees next to it
- Dock villager cuts gaia trees
- Send new citizen to hunt auroch/boar
- Send one pig to dock villager for later
- autoqueu fishing ships until 4 fishing ships. 4th should be at 99%
- next citizen goes to straggler tree next to towncenter.
- At 95% of the next citizen being done, drop off fishing ships to the dock.
- Scout for pigs with oracles
- Build house with straggler tree citizen as soon as you can
- after that the house citizen goes to food
- Drop off fishing ships again when citizen is at 95%
- all new citizens now go to food until you have 6 citizens total.
- Queu up the last 2 in a row.
- This way when I have 100 wood I know i can make a temple without not having enough wood for citizen.
- Once your last citizen is training, have the gaia forest citizen also gather food from the pig that you send earlier to your dock.
- Manually drop off fishing ships again for 400 food. Advance through Oceanus.
- Now send 2 citizens to gold and 4 to wood. Make sure they are all cutting from the gaia forest
- Make another dock
- Make a few more fishing ships
- Make a manor
Classic Age
- Autoqueu biremes from both docks and start raiding your opponents fishing ships
- Send 1 more citizen to wood in classic and then 1 to gold then two to wood and another one to gold. Adjust based on what you need in a real game.
Tips
- Reducing walking time is key here, make sure there is no walking distance between your gaia forest and citizens.
- Scout pigs with oracles early by shift clicking around the black areas near your towncenter
- Always keep an eye on citizen production, drop off food manually with fishing ships to keep citizen production going without delays.
