Team: Team Turtle

The Strategy

The whole team shores up the borders and goes pure boom on the assumption that the other team will be aggressive and fall behind in a tech race. Early fishing is very important but because the oceans will not be militarily contested, other than by a token gesture, fishing boats should be deployed in obscure parts of the map. Loss of fishing is ultimately inevitable so a steady farm replacement program should be in place by age 4 in conjunction with granary upgrades. Caravan routes should be established as soon as possible.

The boom should be supplemented by a concerted effort to construct economic wonders.

The Roles

Each player is responsible for securing defences while concentrating on an economic boom.

The Scenario

East Meets West map.

The Bottom Line

This is a low risk strategy that can only suffer by an aggressive early boat sweep. Most likely it is countered with an opposing team turtle.

Risk: Low

Effectiveness: Medium
