Best decks for india at low level?

Post by kami_ryu »

So after playing a lot of single player and also watching pro replays, I finally decided to venture online myself!

However unlike the pros and my single-player cities, my multiplayer city is very low. I chose india because it's a cool looking civ, with camels and stuff. It's only 11 after my first few matches (which I won btw, I guess because starcraft translates OK to this game). But I know that my decks aren't optimal at all, since low level. What is the best possible deck / build I could build with a very low india HC?

well you don't have a whole lot of options, so i would just pick the best of the upgrades you can get and then fill in with units and crates. The best thing about india shipments are the free vils. Sot try to have a few useful cards for each age.

or use XP mod.

i respect that. I leveled up my original decks, but i recently got a second account and if I play on it i will want to use XP mod. i would check out good decks and see what you have to supplement the cards you need and then work towards unlocking those cards.

India is my fav civ btw

These are the cards sent in 90% of india games, just try to get as many of these as possible (in no order)

Small and big wood trickles
600w 600g
5 sepoy 4 sowar 10 tiger claws
300 export, and the 3 combat upgrade cards in age 2.

Before you unlock the small wood trickle you can send exotic hardwoods or 300w

Here's my current deck

I considered unlocking tiger claws but then it means unlocking the wood trickle (which I've seen from pro replays almost every time) one level later. So I'm not using them, not yet anyway. Plus they don't seem that great.

I'm sending 300 wood as my first shipment, is that correct?

Just use the xp mod, you'll save yourself a lot of trouble and frustration. :P

Most of ESOC have probably used it one time or another. You won't get banned or anything for using it if that's what you're worried about.

lol... no wood trickle. might as well not use india. infinite 300w is bad for 2 reasons. The main reason is that it doesnt give an extra villager. And ofcourse, if a game goes past 7 min or so, which most games do, 300w is worse than trickle.

i'd go with wicked. just use the mod.

i'll just unlock wood trickle asap :P

so which is worse, 300w or the wood gather upgrade (which comes with a villager)

300w is worse i guess. because by the time india gets its first shipment, you no longer need to be gathering wood.

XP mod is alright you use buddy. You can try destroying buildings with someone in game if you feel more secure. It's just gonna take more time.

I would also suggest since you want to level up to have a competitive deck and not use XP mods to play FFA. you can practice your builds there still get XP and skills you can then use in ranked games. Its a lot of fun anyway.

Somewhat related tip - once you reach certain milestone levels for an online hc, all hc's you create will start at that level. I believe the levels are 10,25,40,50, 80,... or something like that.

Just do Xp mod it is very low risk and took me like 5 minutes. Having high-level hc's is just such a relief and allows you to actually play the game.

Considering that doing moesbar hack 100% of your games is totally fine and wont have you banned, ita safe to assume that using a xpmod has the same danger as playing a regular game. Zero.

But thats fine if you dont want to do the mod, its kinda fun this rpg'ish thing, it just gets in the way whe you want to play for real, but at the begging its fine...

Just make sure to create all civs at lvl 40, and then 60....

Yeah I don't know it doesn't appeal to me to unlock everything without any effort right off the bat. That's why I'm fine with not using the XP mod. ^^

Team 2 flail elephant is pretty deadly, especially vs lower level players who may have never seen a flail elephant used.
