Byzantines · Timing Attack · Season 13
This build order aims to counter spear openers, so use this against all civs that could potentially go spears against you. The civs I wouldn't open mill against are: French, Golden Horde, JD, Malians, Rus, Sengoku & Delhi. enjoy!
Starting 6 Villager go to Mill Berrybush & 1 of them builds Cistern & House
Rally next 2 Villager to Mining Camp Gold
Rally to Sheep under Town Center
Now take 5 Sheep Villager and build Imperial Hippodrome
Rally Straggler Tree & take Gold Villager to Gaiatreeprototypetree as well after you bank 35 gold for Limitanei upgrade.
Make Horseman & build a Mercenary House & Lumber Camp & House
Once you have 8 Villager on Wood start Rally unto Sheep until 12-14 and then 4 on Gold
Build Golden Horn Tower with 8-12 vills and Stable. Keep gathering wood for Monastery and then start making Cataphract + Longbowman and take Relics. This is also crucial timing for attack since your upgrades come in very rapidly with Byz cistern scaling, so find dmg! GL!
