The Smush

The Plan

• Villager 1: Build house, then mill then gather berries
• Scout moves around in concentric circles identifying sheep, berries, and 2 boars. Then scout out wood, gold and stone
• Villagers 2 & 3: Build house, slaughter sheep
• Villagers 4 - 6: Slaughter sheep
• As many villagers on one sheep as possible
• Villager 7: Gather berries
• Villagers 8 & 9: Slaughter sheep
• Move your next sheep closer to the villagers so they can start on the next one immediately
• Villager 10: Gather berries
• Villager 11: Build house, gather berries
• Villagers 12 - 14: Chop wood (stragglers)
• Villager 15: Lure boar #1
• Villager 16: Gather berries
• 10 villagers slaughter boar
• As many villagers on one boar as possible
• Villager 17: Gather berries
• Villager 18: Lure boar #2
• 2 choppers go build lumber camp
• Villager 19: Chop wood (forest)
• Scout enemy locations with scout
• 10-11 villagers slaughter boar

7:36

• Click Feudal Upgrade
• 3 boar eaters move to wood - rest go to finish sheep

9:46

• Reach Feudal
• Immediately begin market
• Use one villager (berries) if possible, unless you have enough food
• Sheep villagers move to wood
• Trade 200 stone for gold, then buy 100 food and 100 wood
• Build blacksmith

11:12

• Click Castle Upgrade
• Note - we have not gotten any upgrades
• 2 forward villagers move out
• Sheriff doesn't use scout to escort villagers - I'd recommend this based on no loom

12:27

• 9 villagers move and begin mining stone
• Now we have 2 forward, 2 on berries, 9 on stone and 6 on wood
• Build a couple houses
• Sell stone at market and buy just enough woof to build to monasteries (350 wood)

13:52

• Reach Castle
• Immediately build 2 monasteries
• Watch how he hides and guards his two forward villagers
• Train 2 monks
• Train extra villagers as food allows
• Begin converting enemy villagers
• Train 2 monks
• As berries run out, use some wood to make two farms
• When the sell price of stone drops below 100, move all miners to gold pile
• Research fervor and sanctity to get converting speed and hit points
• Research redemption as swiftly as possible
• Use converted villagers to mine stone in enemy town
• Build siege workshop to finish off TC
