Treaty- Merchantilism, All military Cards 1st?

[agentyoyo]

Please forgive me for asking these questions, as many great players have already paved the way and found the best ways/methods already.

Whens the earliest you do merchantlisim. I notice top tier players do it to get the 2nd factory. Is there anyway you can send it earlier? No right- whenever I do, I age late.

What about sending all your military cards first (started to think about way back when PI said something about it). It's over the top I know, so, whats the number of of extra military cards you would gamble and send from the norm, 1, 2?

Exceptions to these rules, British? I also dont send team fatten faster, theres an extra card? Also, If your freakishly good, and never get close to emptying your stockpile, it doesn't matter how much you have stockpiled, right? Your production can surpass your costs?

I played w Brit, did not wall, did not have vills around the map at the end of treaty, 9 plantations, only 2 farms. Eco is not prepared for the fight. 50k/20k/35k res.
No Rockets*. Facts were on food for 10 mins, hopefully can get good enough to put them on Rockets- I play hugely food heavy. All military cards att/hp+ sent except church.

You notice top level players get mercantilism for second factory? I don't think they do, most civs send something like eco theoey->royal mint/refirgeration->fac->fac so there is little to no downtime between factories. I think you're supposed to get it after you click up to imperial or from the 2000 gold age up, it slows you down too much if you get it before imp.

You want to prioritize all your eco cards first, and then you probably want to prioritize one of fencing school/riding school, then church card (unless you're germany), then probably AA since it has a lot of upgrades in just 1 card. After that probably just upgrade your main/most powerful unit, like for spain you would upgrade lancers. And after treaty ends I think you want to send fencing/riding school, then cheaper natives, then the rest of your upgrades.

I don't really play treaty, just my opinion

You upgrade mercantile after you clicked the button to age 5, not before (unless your macro was really poor and you end up with 400 food and 5500 coin for some reason).

To the second question: Eco cards > military cards. You always wanna send all eco cards UNLESS you'd end up without a training card (usually fast inf) at 40 or you're fur trading (in which case you're not sending the plantation cards of course).
