Human/sage here, looking for a opening strat/build. I'd like to come out, maybe make a small land grab on an inactive province, then move to science pump build. Should I try to do a small land grab or not? Should I explore 100 acres while in protection? Do I want homes for science pump? Any advice beyond what I've asked for is also appreciated.
This is what i'm thinking for in protection/freshout (if explore 100acres):
10 (8)% Homes
10 (8)% Farms
25 (28)% Banks
15 (16)% Armories
25 (25)% Guilds
15 (15)% Towers
Then for science pump:
8% Farms
27% Banks
15% Forts
20% Guilds
15% Towers
15% Schools
