Tips
- Professional Scouts from 4:45: the boar and the deer feed the economy. Protect the hunters with an Outpost and use a Mill to drop off food.
- The School of Cavalry starts at 2:50 with 14 villagers, Jeanne and a villager building it; Age II arrives at 4:45.
- According to the author of the page, this opening comes from MarineLord; nini’s build (same hunting idea) puts down a Mill and an Outpost near a boar at 5:45, after Jeanne has been upgraded to Woman-at-Arms at 5:25.
- Jeanne becomes a Woman-at-Arms in Age II: she goes along with the villagers on the hunt, then joins the army.
- The rest is played from the Royal Institute: Cantled Saddles, Companion Equipment and Ordinance Company support an army built around Royal Knights.
