2) Hum ye true, I never send the priestresses, so I guess huamincas attacking faster is better. 4 llamas is just a 800f shipment which is quite bad tbh.
1) Why do you send 300w if you get a coin treasure? Inca guide already outdated? :D
2) Idk where you get the 800f from, just tested it and got 1472 food gathered very quickly from 4 llamas with 10 vills. It's a nice boost.

1) Without the coin treasure you age too late if you don't send the lamas. So I do my 300w build if I get at least 40c, and else I send 2 lamas.
2) Ye you gathered 1400f but it takes a lot of VS. If your vills gathered food from hunts, they would get 600f, thus 4 lamas are worth 800f.

It's a 1v1 deck.
So what? Units ups in industrial are like 2 of the best cards. Explorer card is terrible.
4 lamas is 900-1000f btw and it can fix macro at key point when you don't have access to hunts. Anyway there is a number of interesting colonial cards that can fill the last spot.

Maybe he's going for da mindgamez with having both cards in age1?
The later his opponent knows which build he went for the better.

If you disagree, feel free to debate.
Well you're either gonna send 300w or 2 llamas I guess, so having both is kinda pointless.
Also I think 2 priestesses is really bad, its basically 400 coin. 4 llamas on the other hand are a very nice food boost, or huamincas attacking faster is nice too.

2 Priestesses are kinda nuts in early fights. The coin cost is deceptive - they're much more powerful than priests and there's no efficient way to train them otherwise. Converting a couple of Janissaries in a fight can be a very big swing and they're quite tanky.

Looks like @[Armag] diarouga is the only one brave enough to post his deck. Guess everyone else is afraid I'll steal your secret strats!

@[Armag] diarouga Do the two hand inf cards in colonial also buff Caroleans? I thought only the team card buffed them.

Just tested it: they don't. Though they do buff your hakkapels and (swiss) pikemen. Could be useful for a triple carde swiss pikemen strat ..

Here's mine. The age 4 card buffs carolean hp by 25% and replaces their melee resist with 30% ranged resist. I think that's a great card to have. With Sweden I've found myself in a situation where I can easily age to IV plenty of times.

Actually it wouldn't hurt to replace exotic hardwoods with 2 heavies :ugly:

You have too many eco/late game cards for a 1v1 deck imo. And you need the blackriders imo, else you don't have an effective counter to lancers.

600w, hand cav/inf ups, 15 elks, etc. Also you're missing the mine cards which are a must.
There is ton of better cards than explorer card

Blueberry is only for using it in age1. The age3 blackberry card however is a good one for when you run out of hunts as it spawns a 1k berry bush on each torp. It's better tho if you sent blueberry as it would gather as fast as hunts.
