Construction Methods For A Fast Military Economy

Note: Exactness to duplicate this method will depend on the map used...
In this case, the map used was "Merlin." This method is great for small, bumpy multiplayer maps!"

1. Essential Buildings and Land Expansion

1 minute

2 minutes

3 minutes

4 minutes

5 minutes

6 minutes

Minutes 1 to 7: Build towers to acquire more land, then build 2 medium or 6 small residences, 5 stonecutter's huts, 2 stone mines, 8 woodcutter's huts, 3 sawmills. Increase number of builders and diggers to maximum (22/24). Don't continue before this is all set!!!

Continue as you desire; either make your metal industry or food industry.

To my experience, grain farms should be built, because you won't be able to make 200 level 3 soldiers only with fish... your weapon industry will go down after 45-55 minutes! So, if you want a stable production, build 3 farms first, mill, bakery, and waterworker's hut, 5 fisherman's huts.

2. Food

7 minutes

9 minutes

11 minutes

12 minutes

14 minutes

15 minutes

Minutes 7-16: Make 2 fisherman's huts (because there are just two fishing rods), 1 hunter's hut... tools have to be made, so make 1 iron smelting works, 1 toolsmith works, 1 iron mine, and 2 coal mines... then make 2 woodcutter's huts and 1 sawmill. Make tools! To begin food production, make 3 farms, 2 bakeries, 1 grain mill, and 2 waterworker's huts.

16 minutes

19 minutes

20 minutes

23 minutes

25 minutes

26 minutes

Make 5 fishing rods, then place 5 additional fisherman's huts and 5 stonecutter's huts. Make more shovels and hammers for builders and diggers: increase their number!

Distribute fish to all mines, bread only for coal.

Make 1 gold mine and 4 coal mines.

3. Heavy Industry

Build at least 4 medium or large residences while alternating construction priority with the following buildings for the heavy industry: Make 4 gold smelting works, 2 or 3 gold mines, 2 iron smelting works, 2 weapon smiths, iron mines and coal mines. Make a barracks.

4. Barracks

Recruiting can begin from minute 22. Now, again, make 2 more iron smelting works and weaponsmith's works (don't forget the tools!).

Make 2 or 3 more farms.

5. Residences

Make residences as needed. I have always got 200 settlers from minute 30, then I've got at least 300!

28 minutes

32 minutes

40 minutes

6. Summery Of The Whole Construction Process

You should have 10 woodcutter's huts, 4 sawmills, 2 stone mines, 12-14 stonecutter's huts, 20 to 25 medium residences, 6-7 grain farms, 4 bakeries, 3 grain mills, 3 waterworker's huts, 3 hunter's huts, 7 fisherman's huts, 4 iron mines, 12-14 coal mines, 7-8 gold mines, 8 iron smelting works, 10 weapon smith's works, 14 goldsmith's works, and 3 barracks by the 40th minute of game play.... and set one set of eye catchers in order to achieve 100 percent strength.

41 minutes

43 minutes

44 Minutes

45 minutes

Finish!

 

 

 

7. 300 soldiers in 45 minutes, 20 seconds

I increased the number of shovel settlers to 30 and builders to 35-40, depending on how fast the smiths work.

By that moment, your industry should be producing 100 soldiers every 5 minutes (if there are 300 carriers). So don't forget to continue building residences, even during fights.

You should have 7 to 8 grain farms.

I hope you will manage to duplicate my construction method, and I hope you know some basics and my way of thinking now.
