Tips
- Place the Town Center to protect the wood and the stone, and build the Stable, Archery Range and Barracks around the Ovoo: that is where this build’s bonus comes from.
- A Pasture from Age II, then up to 5 Pastures around 5:50.
- Blacksmith around 7:10: Iron Undermesh or Fitted Leatherwork, depending on what the opponent is doing.
- Variant (Elforde): an opening with a fast Pasture instead of a tower rush.
