[RE] French mid-fortress strategy

Post by Alohomora »

What is the strongest part of french fortress?
The way I play it is to mass with eco/military cards: sending 1000c+w for mass, then push 2 or 3 times with military shipments, but what after that?

Here's a game I played against Indian; I think I've been pressuring on him well after going up fortress, but still I lost :sad:

1. you have a 1 cdb and 2 settler treasure in your side of the map, which will bring you a huge eco advantage. but you didnt get them until the end of the game. why?
2. you scouted that he age up slow with in-base wonder. and carolina is such a big map. why don't you start hussar raiding? you don't need musks at all, just raid with 5 hussar, 4cdb 700w or 4cdb 700w 700g and win.
3. you reached age 3 ahead of him, and he didnt have any cav. why don't you send 2 cannon right now to end the game before 10:00?
4. why don't you send 1000w-refrigeration+royal mint much earlier, as you have more units? you just sent 7 skirm, 5 goon.... when your opponent have 80+ vills you have only 40 cdbs.
5. when you have 5000+ food and no coin, WHY DON'T YOU SELL 3000 food for gold? you can easily spam tons of units immediately and push back.

what you need is to:
1. use the treasures. your musks and explorer walked by a cdb treasure, and left.... i don't know what you're thinking about.
2. adapt to the map and your opponent. you don't need musk if he doesnt rush you. i guess you'll still spam 30 musk before aging up, even if you're playing nr55 vs india?
3. seize the advantage. you should either push earlier (go cuir+skirm+cannon, and immediately kill his rax, stable, TC), or boom earlier (1000w 1000g or 1000w refrigeration much earlier).
4. know your civ. french is the strongest civ if you have a good eco, while india is relatively weak in late games. so why don't you boom?

to tell the truth i don't know what you're thinking about in a game. you just played like a programme that automatically spam musk in age 2 and cuir goon skirm in age 3, in every case. even AI can adapt sometimes lol.

do you really "make use of units"? do your musks get any treasure? do you have hussar to raid? do you have cuir+cannon to push early?

for noob like us iĀ“m tell u, explore first then know what to do, dont follow a build order blindly, create one your self and adapt.... like a noob want get hunt dog in age1 (100 c and 100 w start) he find 50 c of treasure and still cut more 150 w for hunt dog and 1 house instead of use coin on market ( buy wood) to save time
