I haven't had a chance to test this yet but I thought it would lead to a very fast classical advancement. Start off putting your 2 starting dwarves on Thor's gold mine right next to your TC at the same time que up several Villagers, or put them on auto que, and send them to the nearest food source. THat would be either berries or hunting. Depending on the map get the required upgrade either hunting dogs or husbandry or maybe neither. Pump out 8 villies on food then switch to dwarves putting probably 2 on gold. THen rotate between wood and gold. Until you have 5 of each at least. All the while you should be scouting building ox carts as necessary. And maybe building 1 extra ulsfark for scouting. I thought this would work well do to the fact that you aren't spending the extra 200 food or so on a few villies for wood. Once you advance I would go normal rotating dwarves on gold, and villies on food and wood. Well what do you think???

With that build order you probably would advance late not fast, I havnt tried but 8 vills on food is alot before switching to other ressources. Usualy 5 when its hunting and 6 when its berries/chickens (which is rare since thers almost always hunting near by) then after 2 on gold and wood or so put more on food again.

you realize dwarves train slower right? And eco would be worse. Thats my FH build tho roughly

I have to agree with you guys. After playing several games with this starting BO it really only works on non hunting maps. IF you save that original wood for you temple by not getting hunting dogs you can put it up whenever necesary for quick advancement. This really won't work on maps with hunting though. I will try using 5-6 villies on hunting and then 4 villies on wood then the dwarves. 1 question pug, you weren't suggesting I get 10-12 dwarves before going classical were you???? It wasn't clear to me. Or did you mean post advancement you keep pumping the dwarves.

Yes I actually have already registered and watched several of vagabond aorks games. He is amazing in 1 game he managed to win the game after he cast ragnarock and was beaten back by a Titan. He got his economy back up and running and built a titan of his own. Wow!!!
