My favorite NE strat.
 

4 wisps to gold
1 lumber
que some wisps.
1 wisp out builds AoW
next 1 out builds MW
next one out builds altar
after you start altar keep wisps going to wood and take the one you on lumber in begining and send him to gold so 5 in mine
after the mw is done wait for wood then another mw
pump out 5 ish archers then get hall, 2-3 hunts, then up tree

comments, suggestions?
