Tips
- This is a hard build order to do. Recommended for experienced players!
- Dropping off food, gold and wood manually in arhaic will increase your chances of hitting the perfect 4:02.
- Don’t forget houses, it will slow down your rush.
- Send your initial 2 heroes to the enemy hunt to stop your enemy from gathering food.
