Port vs Japan strat on small maps

Post by kokiloki »

Hello guys,

Today I came up with a strat for playing ports vs Japan.

The build order:

Age1: don't collect anything but food, age with 10 vills
transition: get 400w and send 1 vill forward
Age2: send 700w, followed by 8xbow and 6 musk.

I don't know yet what my follow up should be if the rush fails.

What I did was making 15 pikes and then rush for the big schrine, I killed it before any units from the Japanese player were out. When my 6xbow arrived he had 5 ashi's made, and 5 yumi shipped. Unfortuantly for him the yumi's popped out between my pikes so I could easily kill them. Then he resigned. I have to mention that I got 140w from tres what makes the rush a lot better and faster. I think this strat can work on small maps like bengal, pd, yukon, cause it's a really fast rush, and if it fails, you got a tc backing up your 2 raxes.
Should this strat work? I think the rush could be hold with a good mm pop + shipment and good building placement, but if it's fast enough you can maybe catch the oppenent off guard if he hasn't scouted properly.
French can also do a strat like this, but I think having the tc is very good for map control, espacially on small maps.
Unfortunatly the game wasn't recorded.

Do you have any advice about what the follow up should be?

I just hope DE is not going to implement all of the EP changes. Right now it is a big clusterfuck.

To rush I prefer the double musk build with 700g/700f but it won't work vs a good jap. Best hope is to have a water map or to semi ff.

Should I age normally or still 10/10? And why 700f, ofc you can mass more, but 700f is very inefficient, and I''ll be popped then. Should I chop some wood for houses then? Will 700g 700w 700f musk huss work?
If I go semi, I can better play French or German I think.

Age with 13-14 vills. I dont remember the exact build but I know I was able to train musk 10/10 with ST.
It is maybe 700/600g, need to be tested.
Fre or german are better in this MU ofc.
