Ethiopia Guide Xela Updated

Post by XelaZero »

Very good guys, today I will show you my guide Xela version of Ethiopians
(I will be using google translator since my english is not very good)

this strategy is made entirely by me

Ethiopian Rush Xela:

These are the essential cards for strategy. I left some spaces empty on purpose as the deck can be customized to your liking.

Image

Version Rush Xela combination Warriors with Shotel and Gacenias
This is the basic and faster version:
Order of the cards:

4 Half-fat cattle / 6 Gacenias / 6 Warriors with Shotel / 4 Colonists / 700 W

Order :
It begins by creating the livestock market and the current cattle are brought to that market.
We start with 5 settlers, which we will take 4 to wood and one building a barn that we will put if possible in the middle of 2 nearby herds
we collected 50 w for the improvement of Village Dogs that said improvement is in the barn
When the cattle market marks a cattle exchange of 175 wood, we exchange 1 cattle and with the help of our 4 colonists who are in wood, we will complete 25 more wood to build a Trading Post (Tp) once the Trading Post is finished ( Tp) we will change the delivery within our Trading Post (Tp) from EXP to Influence.

Image Image
Image


once this objective is completed, all our settlers(villagers) go for food to ensure advancement to the second age.
We will advance with a total of 10 settlers
When our first shipment of 4 cattle arrives, take them to the livestock market, these will be very useful in transition from first to second age and in second age.
when our food reaches 600 we will sell a cattle for gold

Image

now we will exchange our gold 2 times for food = (200 F) to reach 2 years faster
We will advance with Habesha to secure a military camp cart and 300 coins
Image

Transition from 1 to 2 age:
When our colonists manage to collect 50 F we will be able to upgrade Reinforced Iron Axes that are worth 50 F
Image
once this is done we will put 6 settlers in food and 4 in wood
When our cattle have a value of 200 wood, exchange a cattle to make a second Trading Post (Tp)

Image
and with the wood that our settlers gather we will build a house (Shed)
When advancing to 2 age they will give us 2 carts 1 from a mountain monastery and another from a camp builder

Image

With the mountain monastery wagon we will build it on top of a mine to have our drip of gold and influence and with the camp builder wagon we will build a war camp
We will collect the gold that came from the advancement of age and at this moment we will have our second letter to send 6 Gacenias, when the war camp is finished building we will exchange a cattle for wood with this we will build another house and help us get 5 Gacenias from our war camp
once our first 5 Gacenias come out, we will exchange a cattle for gold and we will exchange gold for wood once
We will add settlers from the urban center to wood until 3 more settlers are created
and we will continue creating Gacenias until 6 Warriors with Shotel are sent from the metropolis, at the moment they are sent we will begin to create said warriors to complement our rush and we will go to push our enemy

Post Data:

1 / the moment we lack a little food for the creation of units, we can change a few cattle to compensate for the lack of food
Likewise, if there is a lack of gold to create more Warriors with Shotel, you can make the exchange of won for gold.



2 / With the coffee collected so far, thanks to the mountain monastery and the commercial posts (TP) we will be able to build forts:

Or use it for our units that arrive for shipments:

Order of the cards:
4 Half-fat cattle / 4 Colonists / 700 G / 6 Gacenias OR 6 Warriors with Shotel

We will add settlers from the urban center to food and we will create 5 more Gacenias (at this time you can exchange a cattle for wood)
as the next shipment it will be 700 G to be able to raise the age and thus we will complete our advance to the 3 age and from there according to the civ that they are fighting, the letters they consider appropriate will be sent.
Post Data:

1 / when we lack a bit of wood for the creation of sheds, we can change a few cattle to compensate for the lack of wood
Likewise, if there is a lack of gold to go up in age, you can exchange cattle for gold.


2 / in this case we prioritize the experience in order to have enough shipments for the 3 age group.

Many thanks, this is very interesting! I did not yet think about skipping that first hut to directly age with 10 villagers. That's clever.
What do you think about the card that adds 200 influence to all future shipments? It sounds like that could be quite strong, especially in the ff case where you can use the constructor de reinos to spam town centers directly after age up.

you're right it can be quite strong especially if you go up with Somalis that gives you 400 points of influence and a rush with influence is possible

I have updated the deck since this way the strategy is better

first: the Jesuit influence letter is sent

I also just played a game where I switched the card order by sending 4 cattle now in the first age and having Jesuit Influence as first card in age II. It is not as optimal, but still strong.

Images for me are missing. I hope they will be available again one day.
Thanks for this guide, quite impressive seeing people creating a strategy from zero. Well done.
Reflecting on how strategies are done, I guess it's a sort of "reverse design", one has to start from the objective one wants to reach and then from there build up to 00:00 what needs to be done step by step... maybe this is the way that strategies are built?
