Lithuanian Four Lakes Fast Castle
SurvivalistCreator guideThe opening sends the first five villagers to wood because Lithuanians can sustain Town Center production from their extra starting food. Do not copy the same assignments blindly with a generic civilization.
The first minutes are mechanically demanding: force-drop food for villagers and wood for Fishing Ships whenever either production queue would otherwise idle. Protect the Dock villager and make the pond part of the wall.
Survivalist demonstrates Knights into immediate relic control, but the Castle follow-up remains adaptable. Scout before committing the saved wood to a Stable, range, additional pond or greedier economy.
