Opening decision and first timing
The revealed enemy starting Town Centers help the scout choose a route toward resource camps instead of searching blindly. Wood-free economic research can support upgrades while leaving wood for an Archery Range or Farms. Keep the first ranged group intact; extra hit points are useful but will not save it from a committed cavalry dive.
Composition, counters, and transition
Rattan Archers can pressure from a mobile ranged core, while Imperial Skirmishers give a low-gold answer to enemy archers. Choose the line based on the opponent’s force and protect it with suitable melee or siege support. Free Conscription helps replacement units later, but the food, wood, and gold economy still determines whether those production queues can run.
Opening priorities
Use the early view of enemy Town Centers to scout the opponent’s map position and choose a suitable opening.
Core army
Resilient archers and the unique unit reward ranged pressure supported by counters and siege.
Technology & transition
Use the information advantage to transition before the opponent, then maintain production through Castle Age.
Watch for
The infantry and cavalry lack some late attack strength, so avoid unsupported melee fights.
