Fetih high-population siege economy
Fetih is a long high-population fight where trade must replace scarce gold and Castles produce the main ranged army. Expand the economy early, but reserve stone for the structures that sustain Janissary production.
Overview
Fetih is a long high-population fight where trade must replace scarce gold and Castles produce the main ranged army. Expand the economy early, but reserve stone for the structures that sustain Janissary production.
Plan and execution
Establish several Town Centers quickly and assign the starting bases to complementary resources. Build Trade Carts or other safe trade to supply gold across the large population cap, then use stone primarily for Castles that train Elite Janissaries. Prefer Janissaries over Hand Cannoneers when the main opponents field few infantry, and use the available army to protect the economy while the next wave forms.
Risks and adaptation
Gold is limited and the population cap is unusually high, so an all-gold composition will stall without trade. Do not spend stone on low-value Towers when Castles are needed for production, and adapt the unit choice if the enemy begins fielding more infantry.
