Build Order
Arhaic Age
- starting 3 dwarves go to gold
- build an armory, research copper armor and set the rallying point on wood
- add a dwarf on gold
- herd your food towards your town center using your beserker
- 2 gathers on wood
- 4 dwarves on food
- research copper shields set the rallying point on food, build a house
- 3 gatherers on food
- build a temple, put wood gatherers on food, kill chickens until you have 5 favour, buy Hammer of Thunder
- 2 dwarves food
- force drop and age-up
- afterwards move 8 villagars to wood so you end up with 6 food, 8 wood, 4 gold
Classic Age
- In classical age there are various openers you could do this all depends on your opponent.
Tips
- Delay moving villagers on wood while advancing until after you can afford a hersir
- Try to kill the hunt with your villagers instead of your town center. This will generate favour which means you will have to kill fewer chickens
- Build your armory close to a straggler tree and where your hunt will be on your town center
- Or if you have exposed gold use your armory to protect it
