PulpyX
Holy Roman Empire · Season 13
This build order covers the innovative HRE strategy popularized by German pro player Gullyd3ck3l. This guide is based on the comprehensive video analysis by VortiX. Unlike the traditional HRE meta (Meinwerk into Pro or naked Fast Castle), this build relies on an opening with 6 very fast farms built tightly around it. Key Features: - Dark Age : Early production to secure map control or pressure the enemy's 
gold. - Feudal Defense: Upgrading Hardened and mixing in to comfortably hold any Feudal pressure without delaying Castle Age too much. - Eco Security: Zero reliance on out-of-map resources (Deers/Berries). You transition safely to Castle Age with a booming, fully-protected farm transition right under your and Chapel influence.
