Um.
You should only turtle if the guy next to you is out farming you and out growing you. In fact, in start up, I'd say only build D if you are certain someone will attack you before you attack them.
Otherwise, you're just slowing yourself down pointlessly against a non existent threat.
Nonetheless, who builds archers during start up?
Waste of time and expensive. What you really need (from a turtle build) during start up is a nuke buster. Someone with one or two villages who is active who loses their nuke will probably not recover and will grow slowly for a week or two. It takes a good 2 months on this world for the average player to get a full size nuke (assuming no significant losses). All you need to do for the first 7 weeks is make sure that the value of your D is higher than the value of their offence. Wall, spears, HC and church will do the trick nicely in that time if you farm. After that, top up from other villages and then think about building some ruddy archers.
Build 1000 swords at the start but ditch them when you smithy is 15 and switch to HC.
