Hey - so turtle is a unique clan and doesn’t play like the others
Your whole goal is to get practice using their caravan network and trading mechanics

Your caravans let you colonise zones that don’t have enemy units on them for free - as well as build structures on these tiles without extra costs.

Playing against the computer you will want to practice setting up a small settlement, getting the turtle relic quickly, and working on getting a trade win - at the very least for all the excellent resources they offer you

For pvp, you are going to act as a remote supply depot for your teammates - your caravans allow your healers to fix up your troops, build towers for defence, and most importantly, reduces the supply lines malice debuff for your allies and you.

Supply malice basically reduces your units attack damage for every tile you are away from your own - up to a 20% penalty
This penalty makes it easier for your enemies to defend themselves cause they need less units to kill you, and you need extra to makeup for the reduced damage output.

Turtle makes all of that go away 🥰

# mint dew Interesting, so turtle just trades with allies??? What's the most effective way ...

Caravans my friend, more caravans!
Your shop keepers produce a good amount of food by themselves, so have one or two caravans working food = you're good to go

Then get a caravan sending your ally iron or stone to make their lives easier - or just share wood
Remember that once you colonise with a shop keeper you are able to build on that tile, so pick a nice juicy one with a farm space or deer and camp it

#

And since your shoppers also produce gold you really won't struggle that much for coin

#

It's just working on timing and practice

#

What sort of game mode do you want to play?

get your 3 caravans asap in 800 before winter, and mostly work food and buy population in first year remember about lore master asap, you want something like 12 population at winter begginig and remember to buy chief as fast as you can, it gives discounts for colonisation and upgrading and is fastest chief in game so you can help your clear clan focusing mobs agro and running around while he yoinks them, dont scout too much before winter, or if you have other clan that can scout just discover your neutrals. all your eco are caravans dont place any production buildings. your lore path is mining -> export -> sharp axes -> supplies -> overcompensation -> furs -> feeling safe -> agressive marketing. Blessings order: baldr -> freya->jord.
remember to stock like 200+ food before winter. in winter you start trading stone and iron to get relations up to 30% with all of your allies (that gives you lore that you need a lot) when you hit sharp axes and get 200 fame turn all into wood and buy 4th caravan. and by the end of the winter you have to decide. you can go fast jotuns if there is turtle on enemy side or your team attacks / def rush 801. or you can go for dwarfs and focus on quick relic and then grab jotuns if there are on map.

#

sometimes you have no neutrals that you want join. in this case you just rush relic and support team. So basicly turn all 4 caravans into food and start trading either dwarfs or jotuns. if you have 4 dwarfs and went for 802 build order you make relic like 2-3 months before 2nd winter and trade resources to allies to sell relations when your relic is done. then build altar around 2nd winter and buy miklagard progress in dyplomacy menu by your relic. you want at least 15% for 2 bonuses every game. At this point your buildorder is more or less done, you have your 6 lores and 1st blessing by the end of 2nd winter, around 1k gold and +4 altar and you are enjoing the life. then its up to you. you can commit to trade win and build trading posts take coinage and send gold to miklagard. you also can go fame win, join all other neutrals and take 9 tiles, + 1 from ally + 4 free from caravans. you can also stack more gold and make huge convert like i did in game i posted.

#

at the beggining of the game remember to not colonize tiles but just set caravans

#

this way you can have more food -> more workers at early game

#

also its worth sometimes to place brewery before first winter if you feel you stuck with population a bit
