Opening Timer

A build order is something you drill, not something you memorize. Start this when you start the game.

−0:30 Ready — pick your spawn

Press the button when the game starts. It begins with the spawn phase.

    Start — 49 tiles · 25,000 troops

    How to use it

    Press start as you enter the lobby and pick your spawn. It begins at −0:30 with the spawn phase and walks you through to 1:30. During the expansion window it beats out the 2-second click rhythm — just follow the dot.

    Why 2 seconds

    Sweeping the opening simulator across conditions, a 10% slider on a 2-second interval was the best balance. That puts total commitment at roughly 5% of your troops per second. Clicking in several directions at once means dropping the slider accordingly.

    Limitations

    The timings are recommendations from simulation plus editorial judgement; real games vary with neighbours and terrain. If you are surrounded by tribes, cut expansion short and start hunting earlier.
