Saving the Huts Hard economy
Saving the Huts on Hard demands a strong economy before frequent cavalry attacks intensify. Expand Villager production and secure the Castle that protects the base before spending heavily on optional forces.
Overview
Saving the Huts on Hard demands a strong economy before frequent cavalry attacks intensify. Expand Villager production and secure the Castle that protects the base before spending heavily on optional forces.
Plan and execution
Start the first six Villagers on Sheep, add wood workers, then expand food gathering toward fourteen and wood toward eight before shifting more workers to gold. Buy the first hundred stone for a second Town Center near the northern gold. Use the later resource tribute to reach Castle Age, then invest in the large stone requirement for the second Town Center and Castle. Research Murder Holes and shift workers to wood and food as nearby gold runs out.
Risks and adaptation
Stone purchases and the Castle compete with Age advancement. Keep enough Villagers on food and wood to sustain production, and do not wait for the cavalry attacks before securing the defensive Castle.
