AOE3 India best civ to rush them!

So which civ is best for rushing India, mainly if they are massing sepoy early on, i was thinking french xbow rush ?? and some pike for siege potential.

It's to hard to rush with civs that you have mentioned. Otto is the best to rush India. Russia may work with those cossacks raiding but India will out boom Russia faster. That makes India an advantage. And it becomes easy to beat Russia even they rushed. Sometimes German uhlans rush is good but not for long.

None of the above options. Iroquois are probably the strongest if you want to play/lame an OP civ.

Pikes and x bows don''t answer to gurkhas

Iroquois may advance and rush faster but that doesn''t means it is lame and OP. But it won''t work against India. Iro will FF against India cozz Iro age 2<' india age 2. Iro has inefficient units like aennas and toms that won''t answer to sepoy and gurkhas. Iro rushing against India is foolishness. It''s better to go with Otto. Most lame all time. And India can''t defend Otto''s Jan and abus easily. In a theory, "Otto can''t be defeated by any civs at age 2". But it may vary according to the player''s skill with Otto

Iro is certainly an OP civ lol

Iro can successfully rush India. If the right treasures are picked up and/or herdables eaten to get a very fast colonial, Iro can have enough tomas to seige down the Agra [strike]as it''s being built.[/strike] soon after it is built.

There''s a video of it happening on either Interjection''s or Veni''s channel [strike](I forgot which one, it was before Spring Tourney, I think)[/strike]. It happened on Mongolia, with the yaks. The first time I saw that became the moment I realized how lame Iro was.

Edit: Found the video on Veni''s Channel, Fard vs. El Pistolero https://youtu.be/F-KfFuSYYMQ?t=1h28m.

Don't rush India.

You shouldn't rush India unless you're otto, iro or aztec.

A perfect semi FF beat India. France beat India similarly.

I did notice your post lol

I just supported your statement

It's this part that worried me:

" unless you're otto, iro or aztec. "

None of those civs should rush India. Every civ in the game is better off containing and teching than rushing headlong into an Agra fort.

Rushing india is stupid. You should semi or aim a 8-9min timing.

french shouldnt rush india but india will rush french
see spring tournament blackstar vs h2o. blackstar raids with hussar and wall. h2o age up 14p but still he nearly destroy french tc. french has to send 8 xbow and mm and build rax, and his tc has only 1000hp left.

Cav semi do not beat India. Musk semi does because if Indian player scouts a stable or no military building, he's probably going to rush, also 10 musk semi is very fast.

gotta admit, that pile of units is pretty scary

India is probably the worst civ to rush. Or maybe iro, one of those two.

fei123456 · Post by **fei123456** » 27 Sep 2015, 13:49

i dont dare to rush india even if i play iro
the india no-eco rush is sooooo crazy

Rushing India is like shoveling the snow off a Glacier

I'd go for french crossbow counter push vs aggressive agra.
