Strategy & tipsall topics

• A good build order for the first dayFields first, storage and cranny next, then Main Building, Barracks and Embassy; use the protection time to grow and raid oases.
• Raiding: how to make it payRaid targets with little defence and lots of resources: empty oases and inactive players. Send just enough troops to carry the loot, and scout before you risk an army.
• Playing defensivelyMake attacks on you unprofitable: high cranny, a good wall, mixed defensive troops, scouts at home, and an alliance that reinforces you.
• Tips for RomansUse the double build queue all the time, raid with Equites Imperatoris, attack with Imperians, and enjoy the strongest wall.
• Tips for TeutonsRaid early and often with cheap Clubswingers, beat crannies, and build big hammers of Axemen and Teutonic Knights.
• Tips for GaulsDefend cheaply with Phalanx and traps, raid far with Theutates Thunders, and use your doubled cranny.
• When should I found my next village?As soon as you have the culture points and a Residence at level 10. More villages mean more production, more culture points and more troops.
• Common beginner mistakesFull storage, no cranny, attacking a player during protection, sending a hero alone, and too little crop are the most common mistakes.
