What is the best strategy if you play vs Sioux as British or French? Any tips?

As fre, mass musk and then send pionnier and push with army+cdb (700w/4cdb/8bows/pionnier), easy win.
As brit, wall and mass musk/lb in def and just never push.

With french
- musk &' cdb timing (with pioneers card)
- 10 musk semi ff.

I prefer the 2nd way, it's more...elegant.

Yes it is much much more elegant but much much harder^^.
If you semi ff, then wall and never push.

Yeah but at least you don't have to run after your opponent. Therefore losing with the semi is less frustrating ^^

What about the other card? i cant remember the name, i never play french, but the picture is like a cdb with green backround. Boosts cdp hp as well, not as much as pioneer of cource, but still boosts hp.

Yeah it's not a great card for coureurs. It's just good for nats & skirms.

there are in fact three cards (+market ups) for cdb's.
pioneers (65 % hp)
northwest-territory (bonus against treasure guardian+speed)
and the nat/skirm/cbd 20%card

Goons also dont have multiplier against the BR and RR, which hell have the most of probably.
So I think musk/lb is better

+ cdb have 40% range resist, which makes them really tanky against BR with pioneers + greycoats 8-)

Boom behind 5 layers of walls with all eco cards. Euro or tad eco on mills with ups still better than sioux on natural res. Mass ranged infantry with some muskete or goons amd never move out.
