HRE Build Order

Just a note here, Prelates take the same amount of time to produce as a villager.

This is really helpful, thank you! I bookmarked it.

I think it would be cool if you showed how much villagers are on each resource instead of saying +3 stone since it can be hard to follow.

Hey thanks for the comment, unfortunately this build order is horribly out dated and doesn’t use proper HRE mechanics like reg cathedral. Maybe I could add onto it? i made it as my first post which meant I couldn’t edit it due to the way how the forum’s trust level worked. I will keep the outdated one and add the new info.

Update: Nah I still can’t edit the post. Idk why… I will make an updated build order post when relic fixes their game and entices me to play again. For now here is the probaby also outdated build order 2.0:
