Russian Wood Start?

Post by TheAoeGeek »

When starting with 200 wood, I know you put down a house immediately with Russia, but what do you do afterwards? Market? TP? Extra House?

Usually you want to save the wood so you can try to age with 14v and as little idle time as possible, but depending on treasures or matchup you might want to chop or mine a bit extra for a market and hunting dogs, or maybe even consider a 17v age up and chopping for a TP.

In general though just getting the 14v age up in with as little idle time as possible is the probably ideal way to play that start.

It seems better to just save the wood and get the blockhouse up that much quicker.

with 200w start, depending on the match up, i would either go 17v and go tp after house, or save wood for market and bh in transition

You don't go market before age-up to colonial, right?

As far as I know trying to get hunting dogs early as Russia means you get idle time with 14 vills, is that correct?

I just hope DE is not going to implement all of the EP changes. Right now it is a big clusterfuck.

you get idle time even without building the market, i would never go market unless theres literally a wood and coin treasure in your base and its a 200w start
