Persian Strategy
Eco1:
You have around 8-10 remaining villagers since you took 5 off for seige workshops. Take around 5 of these and make 2 TCs on one side of your casltes (side opposing enemy). Put 2 on each of the TC's. Make sure they are spread out kind of so you have room for farms. Now, take the other villager, and set up mills in the middle, and on the outskirts of the TCs. With the other 5 villagers, take 2 of them, and put them on a TC near the gold and stone mine. Take the others, and put them on a TC near wood. While the two food TC's are building, take the villager that was building the mills, and start making tons of farms, make them as neat as possible so you save room, but dont stress over it. Once the two TC's are finsihed, que out 15 vills from each, and just put the que point on a farm on that TC's side. Now, with the gold. Que out 15 vills, and stick them on the gold mine. Also, the TC that is inside the casltes, que out 15 vils from inside their, and stick them on the stone. Do the same thing for the wood. After the stone is gone, take those villagers, and put them on more food. In a persian game, you should really have around 60-70 villagers on food, 30 villagers on gold, and 30 villagers on wood. Now, you cannot do all of this while the seige workshops are building, so you must remember to scroll back to your eco, even while you are fighting... Setting up the eco early in the game is a game winner... Remember, speed is everything.
Eco 2:
Make sure while you are fighting that your eco is running smoothly. If any villagers are idle, just put them on a farm. Your opponent is under heavy attack, giving him NO time to market. Go ahead and make a market, and sell the spare wood you have for gold. Then take that gold, and sell for stone. Take your 5 villagers, and stick them on a caslte right in the enemy base. This usually puts the dagger in the heart of the opponent. When there is acastle near by, he thinks its a KO, and usually is.
