Re: Portuguese

Do not send Eco theory age 1. Send it later on when you have at least 40 vills. I'd search through Interjection's videos looking for Ports. They have a crazy water boom available to them thats worth learning, and while I'm not great with them on land there's some cool strats I've seen people like Ai...

Re: France vs china

My key thing with France is you have to remember Cuirs arent your normal old hand cavalry. They dont have to worry about Qiang Pikemen and Ciangdao are only a threat if they're in a large enough mass. But people who dont play France may just send in pikes and swordsmen against them as normal. If you...

Re: Boxer rebellion vs Village Defenses vs Military shipment

On a slightly different note, how feasible would a boxer rush be? If you spam out 6 or so villages and ship Boxers you can get a decently large army for super cheap. Don't you have to ship 2 cards for that? One to make them from villages and one to prevent them from losing hp any longer? Not to men...

Re: India: Next best option to Agra for aging

Am I crazy or do people overlook Taj Mahal? It essentially allows a naked FF since you can literally stop the fighting for thirty seconds, which is plenty of time to send/gather for reinforcements if you get rushed and provides you some coin. If you build or ship castles it's even better since they'...

Yeah it aint cheating. Maybe a little annoying but I mean, you play to win the game.

Re: What would it take to make Forts viable?

As others have said, I don't think forts are bad, just super defensive. It's really hard to take out a town when there's an army + town center fire + fort in your way. I'd like to see some of the elite players try and make boomy builds that require a fort and see if perception on them changes. That ...

Brits are pretty well rounded but a slow starter. Russia's a great counter, or any civ that can apply age 2 pressure. Few civs can compete economically with a full on manor boom.

Brits just lose to Russia unless there is some very specific timing to break the contain that I don't know.

This is a totally feasible strategy in TAD and it's my go to on water maps. Make sure you send Colonial Militia.

Re: Scouting Patterns?? (and other questions)

Part of scouting is knowing your map. So my advice varies based on maps. I main France as well, and generally the way I scout is I send the native scout on a route up the middle of the map and then to the left edge. He tends to find small treasures, the opponent TC, and big treasures in that order. ...
