Port werid strategy

Post by Davy_Jones_123 »

So I played vs this guy, he made like 12 vils in age 1 and ship 300 wood first to build 2 TPs. Then he aged (he reach age 2 in like 4:10, just as I started placing my wonder a few secs), tbh I don't know how he aged so early and a very very forward TC in age 2, extremely close to my TC (couldn't get any closer). Then he shipped crates then aged to age 3, (made a few vils meanwhile I think). Again, the new TC very close to my TC. Then he shipped Hals, organ guns and cass and goons and pressured me. I played China, early TP as usual, didn't know how to handle that build. I haven't seen it before.

Your age up time was a bit slow, try to work on your discovery age. You should start aging way before 4:10. Your ff should be able to handle a portuguese FF easily, since ports are slower and have worse shipments. If you see any aggression coming you can age with the confucian academy instead of the porcelain tower to get a few more skirms.

Just ot of curiousity: Was it this guy?

Played him two days ago. He hit fortress at 6:26 with two(!) tps built on RE. Build felt pretty insane, just won because he s̶u̶c̶k̶e̶d̶ ̶a̶t̶ ̶m̶i̶c̶r̶o̶i̶n̶g̶ took an unfortunate fight.

As China you should reach fortress at 7min-7min15 with 8v on the wonder. I'm guessing you aged at 8+ min which might explain why you were under so much pressure.

It's probably an exiled prince build. Sounds good on paper with 2 TPs, i should try it.

Nah, sounds bad. If you ff you want to use the slow age up. Else get the market upgrades.

The slow age up is maybe better for a defensive FF? If you want to go aggressive maybe being up one minute sooner can help? With 2 TPs you should have a shipment when you hit fortress i think

Usually when you do this strat you send mamelukes first? It seems odd to just do it full on spain style

Can do it both ways tho I have to admit 700c/700w/600c ff seems better most of the time.

On re you can just skip discovery shipment, 700c 600c exiled prince mamelukes and it works stupidly well because the 5 mams is so broken. Not the best strat ever but very entertaining to see reactions to 7 minute mams
