Best useBuild early because steady production lets you reach workers, researchers, and army upgrades without pausing.Factories convert the opening economy into a production base that can fund tanks, planes, and helicopters.
RiskDo not over-stack farms if another player is already pressuring your border.Factories need workers and storage planning; rushing one without support can feel slower than it should.
