Start of w24

After beeing away from Tribal Wars, I decided to test if I'm still capable of doing good. So I started w24 today. Here is the world info :

World 24

Settings:
Speed: 1.5
Unit speed: 1
paladin: no
archers: no
weapon chamber: no
Growing villages: yes
beginner protection: 3 days
Academy: coins
Smithy: One level per technology
Tribe member limit: 100
Scouts: depending on surviving amount of troops resources, units in the village and buildings can be scouted. Units outside the village cannot be scouted.

Players cannot select their starting location (direction) on startup.

I was going to build fast barracks (all mines level 1, HW lvl 3 and barracks) but after looking at my position where I have only 1 bonus village to farm and it's not even right next to me, I decided that it will be a waste to go for spears so fast. So I'm upgrading mines right now. Probably will go for something like 9-7-2 and then barracks, but I'm not sure yet. The time will tell.
