STRATEGY VARIATIONS

Catle Drop on Arena:
Instead of 10 villagers on wood, put 8 on wood
and put the last 2 on stone, as soon as you see
you will have enough resources to go Castle-Age,
transition foragers and gold miners to stone.
Consider delaying Loom until Castle Age as you move forward
You want between 8-10 vils mining stone and building castle

Fighting for Relics:
Put 4 villagers on gold mine to produce monks
and build a stable to produce scouts to snipe monks
while protecting your own

4 TC Boom:
Put 3 villagers on stone while advancing to Castle-Age
to as quickly as possible add 3 TC's.
Doing this you will delay Bow Saw, Heavy Plow and Wheelbarrow
in order to produce more vils.
