Until he runs into a russian player that will shut it down or should or dutch or iro lol. At that point he/she will have to learn other strats.

Start with ottos, they're one of the easiest civs to play if not the easiest and once you feel you can handle other civs, start switching to France slowly. Why switch at all? Not like you can go wrong with otto Just go double rax jan rush every game - should get you to 1st lieut in no time. Ottoman...

Just pick a nation and run for it awhile. There are good strats for all of them. But yeah avoid otto and probably iro. Learn to have a bit of variety to your army, to raid, and to manage your eco. Don't worry about trying to click something every 2 seconds and stay off mills and plantations as long ...

Don't go otto, you will spoil yourself and won't really be ready to play as any other civ down the road. France would be a great start. Learn to double rax rush with france and learn to semi ff. A rush is before 6 mins and a semi ff is before ten lol. Even currently at Ms when others my rank plan to...

I will have to watch it when I get stopped. Any recommendations on it being played correctly video wise?

Nevermind searching came up empty but I ran your name and found a match against Aizaimk I'll watch when I have some downtime.

Says the guy who did a full video explaining how to best make full Coyote in azzy mirror ^^ is bad? Yes, making full coyote in azzy mirror is bad but very few people know what's the best option. I'm not an aztec player but I would say best option is don't play mirrors. Outside of that just purely s...

A few years ago I was massing jans but I would leave all my vils on food. Use the 400 wood for a rax and 2 houses. Ship 700 gold/700 wood/600 gold/600 wood with 2 tp from age 1. It was never difficult to mass a lot of jans quickly kind of a pump fake so my opponent would think im ffing when he saw m...

I don't know just a thought. As a long time otto player I would not mind a rework to bring it more in the middle between euro and asian civs. I guess in my head its more of just overhaul the whole thing rather then nerf the very little they have to being useless.

When I modded for my group I was our otto player and they wanted ottos nerfed into the ground which I was not going to allow but with a few tweaks its really not that bad. They got all the things they wanted and I got what I wanted and ottos did not really feel any weaker. But that is at the ms to 1...

Has anyone thought about just changing ottos civ bonus? It catches a lot of flak for "free vils" so why not just patch it out and come up with a new bonus and implement some restructuring of units to balance that out. I've ran several test with tweaked stats and even adding trainable spahi...
