The Grush (Galley Rush - Standard time)

Step 1 (Start of Dark Age - Pop 4)

Start by putting the usual 3 starting vils on sheep and put the next 2 vils from your tc onto sheep also. With 6 vils on sheep your Scout needs to find the following.

1. The remaining 4 sheep

2. Both your boars

3. Good shoreline to dock

The most effective way of scouting an island is sticking to the shoreline all the way around the island until you come back and completes a circuit of the island then scout the middle. Its imperative you find your boars/sheep fast, this will seriously effect your feudal time.

With 6 Villagers on sheep put your next 4 villagers on wood and assuming you are Viking or have a Viking ally you should be coming close to 113 wood, so send a villager to the shoreline most favored (select the shoreline depending on where ur allies are docking, where is possibly the best deep sea fishing and your plan. i.e. fast up to feudal, slow up to feudal and fast castle etc).

If your villager reaches the shoreline and you are slightly short on wood have your villager use shore fish while your waiting, never have him idle. Then drop your dock and queue a fishing boat, making sure not to get housed and send your villager back to wood, put the 6th and final vil from your tc on wood, if you are Hun you only need 5 because you don't have to make houses.

Step 2 (Dark Age econ continued - Pop 13)

With no more needed on wood for now concentrate on luring your boars right under your TC to lower Vil walking time between drops to 0 seconds under the TC. This will also impact your feudal time. Keep pumping villagers under your tc onto sheep/boar and pumping fishing boats. When you have around 4 fishing boats, approx 20 villagers (Pop 25) if your food is looking good and you look like you will be able to click up to Feudal in 3 villagers time then put your next 3 villagers from your TC onto wood also. While creating 2 more fishing boats giving you 23 villagers, 6 fishing boats and a scout (Pop 30) for Viking is good for flank, without any delays you should get an early 11 minute feudal.
