• The Golden Gate: Buy Wood
• Repair Barracks or Archery Range or Stable depending on the matchup
• -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
• Barracks is the safest option since Horseman and Knight are the most typical counter to Professional Scouts
• Archery Range vs Ayy ( Desert Raider ), Mon ( Mangudai ) and Abb ( Military Wing ); also good against Dark Age Barracks
• Stable if the opponent is also playing greedy and doesn't have units early. Great counter to FC openings to deny Relics
