gatling builds

best Gatling builds? should I go pike Gatling or musk Gatling for most agressive BO. Skip ages up fast to save card and muss musk in transition or age up asap? what's the build thanks

Since coffe mill card was moved to age4 you basically have to FI. It's still kinda OP so it is probably worth (but USA definetely have better options).
I used to just do the old church FF into age4 with 1k coin first. Build was capitalism, church card, capitol wagon, 700w, 1k coin, etc.
Now you may want to try the same thing but with 1010 and the 700f age up. Then in age3 probably something before 1k coin (you won't have 2k food anyway).

the coffee mill guns is the best way to make them viable? will definitely try that, but I was lookin more for a build that is reminiscent of spain falc push with 8 pike in transition and age up units, can USA achieve a similar timing?

Also if I want to FI what's a good time to try and reach industrial for this civ? do I make units in between/ send 3 Gatling's while aging?

just 1010 FF. Use the 700f State option. 700c, capitol card, 700w. Then 2blockhouse and 3 gatlings asap. It's actually faster than the Spain FF.
Good FI time is anything below 10 min but 10:40 or even past 11 min is standard.

do you skip age one shipment for 10/10 or send the chinese immigrants? would the FI just follow that BO but send 1k coin?

send capitalism
