You can take your time with the build-up because the enemy will neither attack you nor rebuild units.
You can take your time with the build-up because the enemy will neither attack you nor rebuild units (on Standard difficulty).


Although you won't need many ressources, you might want (maybe just as a matter of principle) to hurry grabbing stones before the others take too much of it.
