Stagecoaching early isn't even that good
XP is the game's most valuable resource until 9 min or so. It's probably worth getting those extra xp passes in before upgrading to stagecoach so that you have that important crate sooner or have an age 3 shipment when you ff or you can ship your unit shipment earlier to hold a timing or something else. I was playing a game today that Kaiser commentated and in-game I remember I macro'd wrong and didn't stagecoach as early as I'd like but when I eventually aged I had an age 3 shipment available that Kaiser didn't think I'd have which turned out to be way more meaningful than a few hundred extra resources that I didn't even have the infrastructure to put into units.
This just dawned on me - I could be totally wrong though.

You can stagecoach and keep them on xp. Mind = blown
Pay more attention to detail.

Re: Stagecoaching early isn't even that good
o fuq i didn't even think of that
classic case of being tunnel vision'd in the meta. i've always been taught when stagecoaching to switch to resources so i always do no matter what that I almost forgot you can just leave on xp
xp is kind of a diminishing return but is always worth the most at the start of each age. Maybe some advanced macro would be switching between xp and res when you can to hit better timings.

Re: Stagecoaching early isn't even that good
You get a free pass of xp as ssaraf said, and if you put it on resources spending those resources generates some xp for you as well. So in the end you're net gaining no matter what if you get stagecoach, regardless of when you get it. (As long as you have as many TPs ofc, and they're defendable, and your opponent doesn't have any).

Stagecoaching early is awesome, but you shouldnt always change it to recourses. You can up stagecoach and leave it on xp. I do this with civs that rely on shipments often. Sioux, china or otto for example. Setting the tps to res does indirectly give you xp as well though, because you build more stuff

I often switch to xp again at the last min, to get that shipment a little faster. Especially when i want to send mercs, have the 1000c but no shipment
Re: Stagecoaching early isn't even that good
Ye often xp is just better. Also stagecoach does cost some resources and with let's say just 2 TPs it takes quite some to break even.
Re: Stagecoaching early isn't even that good
Next level shit would be knowing when to begin researching stagecoach so that it gets researched right after the trav-wa man passes a TP
...for each map.

yes, with 2 tps it might, but if timed properly, on many maps you gain like 300 xp just by upgrading to stagecoach, which is awesome. on GL you can sometimes get 1000 xp.
if youre not at risk of losing tps stagecoach is almost always a good investment

Re: Stagecoaching early isn't even that good
Timing stagecoach as you finish the last tp in order to get a full bump of experience is one of the best aoe3 feelings. The research time for stagecoach is pretty long compared to other early techs
PS: you also get about a shipment or more of xp so switching to resources is fine since you have a bunch of xp stacking up

Re: Stagecoaching early isn't even that good
It takes a lot longer to get each pass if the resources given are 270, though. Another reason Great Lakes is pure cancer.

Re: Stagecoaching early isn't even that good
GL is amazing as long as there is more than one mine on the entire map
