Iro EP BO

Post by dave_12 »

I don't exactly know what to do as Iro on EP. If there is a thread about this already I would appreciate a link. What I did was 600wood->5vill->600 coin semi FF with some kanya in age 2. Is this any decent? Tell me some other build orders pls

You can also just naked, get 1-2 tp in transition + market hd. Placer mines off wise women crates, build house from wise women too. Then 5 v / 600g and just age. With decent macro you could get there around 7min. Then ship 1200 resource crate and make forest prowler/musket rider. 2nd card age 3 is either 8 fp/5 mr or 900 resource depending on situation. This is what I've been doing and seems pretty decent. Also 4 kanya is good as semi but slows down the age up considerably, cause you need to gather wood. And also you dont have defense opening with stable, with ff naked, wise women travious build ware hut then to 3rd age use that travious when you hit age 3 to build the stable. Also if you get good treasures in age 1 and you manage to get 2 tps, sometimes 600w is also viable after 600g to get more housing, 2nd stable or rax, because ideally the 1200 resource crates should go to military.

Do I build a house or a warhut with the travois from age up to age 2?

No... You don't ship units because they're worth 900 res, you ship them because it's an instant power spike. 900 res is barely worth more resources than a standard unit shipment, which is why it's shit

The point is that you dont units in fact.

This means that in some builds you don't want to send units but you want crates instead and 900 resources is just fine for an age3 shipment.

not on EP, not really, itll slow you down that much, and its only the slightest bit viable if you manage to find like 8 or more yaks or something.

Mmm, yeah maybe then, my bad @Darwin_ however I still think your macro would have to be pretty on point so you dont age too slow

Well if it's not a livestock map and you don't have a 100w start, it's probably not worth chopping the whole 125w in age 1, without any other payback than the 80 xp. You would probably age up 1 vil later, and the food upgrades in the farm are still pretty expensive, so you'll end up being realslow.
If it's 100w start, it's easy to get, and the 80 xp definitely makes up for chopping 25w (it's worth around 100f in age 1 because of the extra 3 vils gathering for 40 sec more). On a livestock map, it's borderline OP imo, as all your livestock will be fat super early.
On a livestock map with no wood start, I'm not sure if you should chop 125w or not. I guess it depends on the match up
