N3O Age Of Empires and Starcraft 2 Clan

If you are looking at a delayed fortress or FI you are potentially vulnerable to a colonial rush. It may be worth having CM in your deck - even if you don't need to play it. I've tried in the past using silk road and schooners for ultra eco but this seems to leave me far too vulnerable. I tend to ta...

I agree that you need to harrass them in colonial. Dutch weakness is that they have very few colonial military shipments. Harrass with LB and kill their inevitable 8 pike shipment, they then have little anti-cav so send you hussars shipment in and threaten their settlers but don't let them die. They...

[quote=""Soccerman771""]Ok, on a water map then should my first card be schooners? I usually play the continuous coin card first so I can keep up Jannie production and it by itself will give me the 300 coin as soon as I ship 700 to go to fortress right-out of aging to colonial wi...

It's not just the military rickshaw, it's the xp boost as well. In a colonial war (with a tp up as well) you can spam both ashi cards, the upgrade cards and the yumis in no time at all!

With a double dock schooners spam I rarely have the wood to build a church, never mind the gold for the upgrades! With 2 docks going, you should have 50 resource gatherers shown on the UI before you even need to consider it. At that point resources will allow you to take this option quite easily, fo...

I have tried a number of races, most recently Dutch, Sioux and Russia against Chinese. I have heard that they have weak anti-cav, but in age 2 their steppe riders and pikes seem to do okay and I was playing people who get redcoats in fortress from their consulate. I can eventually kill their mortars...

Walls work fairly well if you know it's coming! No siege and missile troops behind the wall - nice ...

[quote=""I__CHAOS__I""]true, keshiks are just lol atm[/quote]

But look what they did about kanya horsemen in TWC. They were a pants unit for an OP civ.

I'm in a unique position of having played both games at a reasonable standard. The intensity of each play in American football is so much higher, you need the 30 seconds between plays to get your breath back. The hits are also signficantly harder as if you tackled like that in rugby you'd not last 5...

As Aztecs tend to stay in age 2 quite a while, I always played it late on/while aging. You can then have 2/3 farms ready to upgrade with agrarian ways - build a second t/c as soon as you can in age 3 and boom away. 30 natives on farms will keep enough food coming to spam new natives from 2 t/cs as w...

I thought it was a good game. Giants set out their stall in 1st quarter, then they both tested each other out before the game exploded in the 4th quarter. Give Giants D the credit for making Patriots look bad - though why they went away from an ok running game so soon was a mistake, allowing the D l...

Voodoo_boss is a top rated otto player, so kudos to you!

Bayou is probably the worst otto map going though. No trading post, no water, spread out resources. I'll DL and have a look!

Tak. 4 vilagers on tori gates will be fine. The delay is presumably therefore on how quickly you can get the 800 food and not the aging up process. A few tweaks could save 10-20 seconds of your age up. Some suggestions: 1 Send villagers to food crates to start to ensure you get 100 food asap and the...

Patience! The spreadsheet is huge and people need to learn how to use it. On defensive buildings, I note that while you have added advanced dock, you have not included the effect of colonial militia on t/c. I have to admit that I was surprised to see you could garrsion fishing boats in your t/c and ...

I know ESO says this game never happened, but anyway ... Indian is a 1st lieut and seems to play Indians quite well. Worth a watch. He has fast age up and then pens me in the base and snipes with musket things and ghurkas. For me, watch how those elephants chase my envoy! Game could have been closer...
