Introduction

This is the Mongolian Fast 13 Minute Castle, which will help you achieve a 13:00 to 13:59 minute Castle time on Yucatan. There is a separate guide to this coming out soon, which focuses on the military side of this as well as the economy, as this 13 minute Castle guide is very fragile, and your economy could fall through the hole very, very easily.

Build Order

Vils 1&2: Build a House on the outskirts of your LOS. When the House is around 50% complete, get Vil 2 to build another one on the outskirts.
Vil 3: Build another House on the outskirts of your LOS. When Vil 3 is done, get it to build a Lumber Camp by your closest Forest.
TC: Queue up 4 Vils (H-C-C-C-C, or H-Shift-C).
Scout: Assign it number 1 (Ctrl-1), and scout for Turkeys.
Turkeys: Bring them back to TC, micromanage them (you should know how). Vils 1&2 should start on them.
TC: Set gather point to Turkeys.
Vils 4,5,6,7: Turkeys
TC: After Vil 7, Loom, do not queue another villager even if you have enough Food for one.
Vil 8: Lure first Boar.
Vil 9&10: Chop wood at your Lumber Camp.
Vils 11: Lure second Boar.
TC: Set gather point to dead Boar.
Vils 12&13: Boar.
Vils 14,15,16: Build Mill near Deer (preferably 8 Deer).
Vil 17: Wood
Vils 18&19: Turkeys.

Once Boar is done, get those Boar guys to hunt Deer (in groups of Four).

Feudal.

Now, you should have: 4 on Wood, 12 Hunters hunting Deer, 3 on Turkeys. Scout still scouting.

Once Feudal, make sure you have 325 Wood. Get 3 Lumberjacks to build a Market close to them. Get the other Lumberjack to build a Blacksmith. Once the Market is done, sell 100 Stone, and 100 Wood (or Food, if you have a surplus).

Castle.

There you go.
