Overview
Research and Technology is a short lesson in Age advancement and unit upgrades. Gather food efficiently, research Loom while waiting, then upgrade the starting Militia before the second English wave.
Plan and execution
Send seven Villagers to Sheep and use the remaining worker to build any required Dark Age structure. Research Loom while collecting the food needed to advance to Feudal Age. Use the starting Militia against the first three English attackers, then research Men-at-Arms at the Barracks as soon as Feudal Age is reached. Meet the next Militia and Knight wave with the upgraded infantry.
Risks and adaptation
Do not spend the food needed for the Age advance on optional units. Keep the Town Center active and use the Town Bell only if the Villagers are directly threatened.
