Defend aztecs as india.

Post by Shikari »

I was wondering if on a crate start other than gold as india you take a tp in age 1 and ship distributism card after that ship building hp. That would help keep agra fort standing. My real reasoning behind this is cause i have played some games and seen so many games where aztecs player just fight 5 gurkha and 2 sepoy with his maces and puma continue to siege and agra goes down in no time. Giving aztecs player, a lot of xp and taking your single military production building. Which just end up snowballing with a win for aztecs. Though maybe aztecs player after seeing this wont push what so ever then its a wasted card but still i would like to hear reasoning why its so bad by good player.

I just don't think you need it. Players just need to stop sending wood trickle on top of getting TP/market vs Aztec. Just send 600w and make units. You'll have a better economy anyway.

If anything, invest some wood into some walls. That's a lot cheaper than sending a shipment for building hp.

I agree with Mitoe, if you wall your fort (it costs like 25-30w) he won't be able to kill.
If you're really scared you can also put 4vills to build your agra and then 600w/300e/4sowars should easily do the job.

I like 300e first honestly. Gives you immediate economic and defensive options.

Not a big fan because you have to chop for the consulate.

What do you mean by that. Surely aztecs can't compete with india eco. They have to do dmg early on somehow.

send advanced wonders for extra hp and faster age

I've always found this matchup to be very india favoured. A small wall segment is all India needs to invest to protect an agra fort build

on small maps, i send the indian cm in this mu with the agra being real close to the the tc, almost making a bit of a wall with the tc and ofc actual walls help as well. u usually need to herd early and make sure ur hunts are behind the tc and agra. and early on don't forget to bully the maces with your elephants. typically u want to age but camels in age 2 are God like too. if u can stabilize well and the game is still age 2 u've basically won. gurkha sowar zam mix owns everything aztec has in age 2.
having said that, if you are going to play on a map with tps, especially a map like high plains, i would just consider going some other civ than India.

You can. You can even go Karni and not wall (watch GS' youtube channel). I used to do that at some point, you can still hold the rush but I'm not sure if it's worth.
