Vikings on Water Maps
A Viking galley rush for full water maps. Vikings are top tier here thanks to cheaper galleys and a strong economy from free Wheelbarrow and Handcart. Click Feudal at 7:55, produce galleys from 3-4 docks, then take Castle Age around 20-21 min with War Galley, Bodkin, Bow Saw and Longboats. Capoch streams on Twitch and Kick (kick.com/capoch).
