Building Strategies

When playing on low resources it is essential to have a good building order. Also you must always use the lumber bug. (These orders are for low resources and 1 peasant only)

Ok. On to the order. This is what I usually use, it is made of combinations of other orders I have seen.

  1. Take your peasant and build your hall as close as possible to the gold mine. Make sure to do the lumber bug.
  2. When your peasant is done send him to build a farm. If you are walling in and want to leave some room to build send him to get 100 gold then build the farm. When he is finished you will be able to train another peasant without waiting for the first to get gold.
    ex.) In red's starting position on POS I like to put my wallin out a little farther since it is easier to defend. I get the gold first and the second peasant is trained as the first makes it to the mine.
  3. Put your second peasant on gold. Put your third, fourth, and fifth on wood. When your fourth peasant finishes with wood you should have about 500 gold and 250 lumber. Build your second farm.
  4. When the farm is finished put the peasant back on wood. Train your next two and put them on gold. When your eighth peasant is trained you should have just about enough to build a barracks. You may need to wait a couple of seconds.
  5. When you again have enough resources build a farm. The farm and barracks should finish at the same time.
  6. Put one on gold and one on lumber.
  7. Continue to train peasants and footmen. Take your first footman and find their town. Start attacking peasants. Knock all the peasants off of lumber then stand in the gold train. Pretty soon you should have quite a few footmen standing around, preferably 6 to 7.
  8. After all the peasants are gone go after their footmen. If they were slow they won't have much resistence. Destroy their barracks, then town hall, then finish whatever is left.
  9. Make sure you are still working on your town in case a few of them got away and started up a new town somewhere else. If you quit then they can get back in the game and cause you some major headaches.
