RoK - City Hall 10 rush build order

Intro

Hey hey! DarkBanana between the chair and the keyboard! Once again with a build order, but… A bit more complex this time, as the tech tree to City Hall 10 is a bit moree complex. But, let’s go with that!

Once again, context, this is a guide I’m writing for those of you who are going to help their favorite streamers during the RoK Campaign!

Worth noting, I’m doing this Build Order a bit in a hurry, but I’ll update it with the tweaks I have as they come.

NB: This build order is not meant to be a long term build order, but a one shot BO to get City Hall 10 as fast as possible. If you need a long term plan, then… I’ll write about that sometime later! =p

Overall setup

You’ll need a group of at least 12 players… Funny, knowing 16 players will have to go to CH10 for the campaign! ;p

With that out of the way, as soon as you get the alliance center, you’ll need to create an alliance that everybody will join, and initially you’ll have to help each other to finish the buildings WITHOUT using boosts. Keep them for when the building times will exceed 10min.

Each player can get help from others 5 times at most when Alliance center is level 1. This is raised by 1 for each level up of the aalliance center, but, since time is of the essence, maybe you won’t want to build up the alliance center… WRONG! You’ll need it at level 8 to got to City hall 9, so, it’s a good idea to level it up! (hope you followed there…)

For this run, I recommend you to pick China as your civilization, as they have a 5% time reduction for buildings…

Building Plan

Yep, build order no longer applies, cause you’ll have a ton of down time, so, I’m going to first give you the buildings you’ll need and at which level to get to City Hall 10:

• Quarry N -> Tavern N -> Wall N (for City Hall N + 1)

• Academy 9 (for City Hall 10)

• Alliance Center 8 (for City Hall 9)

• Farm 7 -> Barracks 7 (for City Hall 8)

• Storehouse 6 (for City Hall 7)

• Scouting Camp 5 (for City Hall 6)

The plan is the following:

• CH2

• Wall 2 and Tavern 2

• CH3, farm 2, hospital 2

• Wall 3 and Tavern 3

• CH4 and hospital 3

• Wall 4, hospital 4

• CH5, Scouting Camp 1 -> 4

This is where the plan actually gets tricky. You’ll need an extra building to the same level as your City Hall to go to the next…

And this is where the plan stops to be linear as you’ll need to build in priority order:

• Quarry, Tavern, Wall, Scouting Camp 5 for CH6

• Quarry, Tavern, Wall, Storehouse 6 for CH7

• Quarry, Tavern, Wall, Farm, Barracks 7 for CH8

• Quarry, Tavern, Wall, Alliance Center 8 for CH9

• Quarry, Tavern, Wall, Academy 9 for CH10

Which means, after CH5, you’ll need to work on all the buildings mentionned above when you can if you want to optimize your time…

Some down time activities

If you run out of boosts and you have all your construction queues occupied, then you can go fight barbarians with your troops, and gather resources on the map. Gathering resources will complete some missions that will help you in rushing City Hall 10. Also, always build troops. Keep in mind that you’ll need the Barracks at level 7 for City Hall 8… So, you’ll need the queue of the Barracks to be empty when building up the racks.

While gathering, you can go do the expedition missions:

Also, important to mention, you’ll be able to build the Courrier Station at City Hall 6. BUILD IT! It will let you buy boosters, resources and even more for good prices…

Lastly, use your scouts to explore the map and especially the caves, as the caves can give you boosts… Same for the villages that are scattered here and there on the map. Plus, the villages give you technologies! So, no need to do the forst Civilian techs

Conclusion

So, now you have the plan for a rush to City Hall 10… Note that you need to wait for all the help possible from the alliance center BEFORE using your boosts. This will save a lot of boosts for you!

Also, never use boosts that would speed up more than necessary, aka don’t use a 5min boost for 2min, it’s not worth it…

Overall, if you follow these principles, level up you alliance center when you can, etc… Reaching City Hall 10 should be doable in… Maybe a bit more than an hour, so… HEY HEY HOOOOOOOOH!!!!
