Slot Allocation Notes
Players who pick Timo typically commit to a focused combat strategy from the opening, since the advisor's bonus (palintonons can attack and see 30% farther) compounds with every related upgrade and tech research.
Lower-skill matches often undervalue this advisor; at competitive tiers the effect becomes a measurable swing in resource graphs and unit counts.
Players coming back to Age of Empires Online will find Timo still relevant in current meta builds, especially those leaning into the combat archetype.
