Vil distribution for uhlan production

Post by Papist »

I heard someone say once that you have all SW on coin and all regular vils on food, but whenever do this, I end up massively overgathering coin. What's a good distribution for producing uhlan, while keeping the option of aging open?

Yea sw on coin vils on food is right, maybe if you don’t get steel traps you’ll overgather a lot of gold

I normally make sure I gather a bit more food than gold in transition, as I only gather 125 extra wood. I then don't get steel traps until 700 wood arrives, but I don't know if this is optimal.

@Kaiserklein or other good german player, is it possible to get 50 housing space, steel traps plus a stable whilst going 3SW first? If so, what is bo?

Yes. Sell 125c for 100w once.

Placer mines and HD in transition, chop an extra 225w (st and 1 house) so you don't have to sell coin. Then all vils on food and all sw on coin including the 3 from the shipment. Should finish chopping the wood right before you hit up

Yeah it's possible but you'll need 3 houses, a stable and steel traps, which is 625w. With 400w age up it means you need to over chop 225w, plus pay 125g for your steel traps. You will get a shitty first and/or second batch of uhlans though, which is why people mostly don't do that.

You can skip steel trap for a while, as German will put more vills on gold (quite different from french/brit).

In both quick search and lobbies, I would put SW on the gold/coin resource and the regular settlers on a food resource.

The correct distribution is to put all your SW and villagers on wood. Mass TP's. Proceed to bathe in Uhlans.

Ah okay. So just to make sure I understand, when playing on a water map I should have all SW on coin and ann villagers on food for optimum uhlan production?

Doesn't even matter if it's a water map. SW on coin and villagers on food is the correct distribution as far as I know. Can somebody back this up?

Yes, it is. To ensure that you will not lack food, do the following
  • research Hunting Dogs as early as possible (depending on map/treasures you can do so when still in Age 1)
  • during transition, you switch all your SW to chopping wood in order to get up the market + huntings dogs + placer mines + 225 spare wood
  • switch all SW back to gold, all vills on food
  • put any newly built villagers on food until you have a total of 15 vills on food. any further produced vills can be put on wood.
  • use spare wood for 1 house + steel traps (research as soon as possible, but can be delayed a bit in order to get more cav sooner)

Of course, it may happen that you still have excess gold from time to time, e.g. due to (1.) treasures or (2.) the opponent raiding your food vills. Anyway, excess gold is by far preferable over excess food/wood since you can trade it relatively cheaply into both other ressource types. Additionally, as SW are more vulnerable to raiding due to the lack of melee resistance, I also prefer to put them on gold mines out of safety reasons (usually closer to TC).
Whatever is written above: this is no financial advice.
