Ok, so this build order can get a 14:15 castle age (in my rec I got 14:20, made some mistakes) with 25 vils and without selling stone
Rec is here: viewtopic.php?f=13&t=101094
Preface:
In this guide I have 2 main classifications for food; TC food and berries. For me TC food is anything that I can get under my TC (sheep, deer and boars) Yes I know gathering speeds are much different but this is to make the guide easier to follow.
Make houses before you need them, make with multiple vils if need (less efficient)
Make them at 13 pop, 18 pop and 24 pop - I am not going to say in the build order when to build houses.
In my rec I lured a deer before I got my sheep. I did this only because it was more continent for this map, if you find you sheep first (which is more likely to happen) take those.
Also in my rec I didn't find my last 2 sheep. Why? Because I forgot. ops: I was still able to get a pretty good castle time. It also kinda offsets having 4 deer instead of the 3 that you sometimes get.
So, here it is:
The numbers on the right is the population including scout
Build your 2 houses
original 3 of tc food, next 3 on tc food-------------------------7
2 on wood----------------------------------------------------------9
2 on food----------------------------------------------------------11
Gets boar and eats-----------------------------------------------12
2 on food----------------------------------------------------------14
2 on wood----------------------------------------------------------16
1 on food----------------------------------------------------------17
While making vil 17 move 2 from TC food to gold once they each have 15 gold make a mill with both
1 TC food----------------------------------------------------------18
Rest to berries----------------------------------------------------24
Click up-------------------------------------------------------------24
Transfer about 3-5 of vils from TC food to berries [Semi optional: make 2 farms] (while still having some eating food)
Once TC food is gone transfer 2 to berries and rest to wood
Build market with 2 vils, queue 2 vils, build smith with one
Sell 100 wood and click up at 26 pop.
Remarks:
I like to lure with my scout. It saves a bit of vil time and it good practice for stealing :lol:
Get your second boar when you have or are almost finished your first.
Lure deer whenever possible, after about 16 pop your scout shouldn't ever be idle
And finally, if you think you can do something better than this BO, do it. I believe build orders should be flexible and more of an suggestion than a strict set of rules.
