since their best BOs are honestly always sepoy rush

I think people are not experimenting, India has so many types of cost-effective units people can work out with for semi(slow)ff or (slow) ff.

I agree with both.
On Re maps, the sepoy rush is so effective as compared to any other build(not counting expert lvl play). That it just gets boring very fast.

But on ep+ maps. It is more a hit or miss. Kinda dependent on treasures or crates.

Still India has lot of options open to it. There are many strategies viable in specific situations(at low lvl). Like full howdah, flail rush, Tov rajput, thuggie, stable start, and 5 tiger ff(I still feel its good) etc. When they surprise the opponent.

Going off-topic.
The standard builds(even though effective) used at higher lvls feel monotonous after a while. In a way similar to sepoy rush. I feel the unconventional play even after losing is more fun than winning with repetitive play.

You just named a bunch of india BOs that are terrible compared to sepoy rush or consulate rush or india eco play.

Flail rush ain't terrible. Get your facts straight bud.

India has so many options, but its very hard o make anything other then a sep rush work, i've played arround with karni up to stable start for a few games, but its just "meh". Feels like on most games you have to 12sep rush, and adapt after that..

i played u enough times on qs to know u just only sepoy rush ^^

See? I dont lie :p
What civ were you? Idk your 'qs acc'

Is a British musket rush a simple good start for me to learn? Just so I can start getting the basics?

[pecelot]

Presumably, yes, though if you're looking for pure easy strategies, I'm sure there are better ones

France and Brits are good to start.
