New Player Guide to OOTD

Shaada

Order of the Dragon

Season 12

Very basic, no-frills OOTD build order for new players. Video below! The goal is to be aggressive in the Feudal Age with Gilded Horsemen and Archers. This can be played on any land map against any civilisation allowing you to get a foothold in any game and then diverge from there. Also works in team games (or you can go pure horsemen!) There are 2 recommended choices once you complete the below build: 1. Go all-in with aggression! Get siege engineering from the Meinwerk so you can make rams with your archers. If Feudal goes really long, make sure to add another archery range (or even a barracks for Gilded Men-at-arms!) 2. Go Castle Age! Put a couple more villagers to gold, stop making units, and age up with the . Once up, upgrade your existing units and overwhelm your opponent with cheap and quickly-produced Gilded MAA (make sure to get+2 ranged armour and from the Meinwerk) Once you're feeling comfortable with this build, look for more advanced and optimal build orders. Like HRE, OOTD are very versatile and can be played pretty much every way. Their strongest strategy is arguably 2TC (though I wouldn't recommend that for new players) and their biggest challenge is not running out of food (which this build is designed to help avoid). I recommend checking out a recent build order guide video from a pro player. Two good options are Beastyqt and Valdemar.
