Overview
Practice a fast transition from the Dark Age through Feudal to Castle Age. The challenge emphasizes a clean resource distribution, continuous Town Center production, and building the required advancement structures without idle time.
Player approach
Fast Castle Age is a build-order lesson where gold performance depends on precise timing and exploration. Follow the voiced sequence closely, especially early Sheep scouting and the transition from wood to Boar food.
Step-by-step plan
Queue four Villagers, use the starting workers to build two Houses, and send the Scout to find Sheep immediately. Put the first six Villagers on Sheep, the next four on a Lumber Camp, then research Loom if required. Build a House with the next worker and lure the Boar while keeping the Town Center producing. Continue the narrated assignments and adjust only when a missing Sheep or delayed lure forces a small recovery.
Risks and adjustments
The medal timing leaves little room for idle Town Center production. Failing to find Sheep early can make the top result difficult, so scout continuously rather than pausing to micro individual gatherers.
