Jan rush still works?

Post by 36drew »

Little but lame, but okay... (notice the length of games... nothing quite like the old school Jan rush). I jan rushed in 9/10 games and all were GG before 12 minutes! Quicksearch FTPTW!

Managed to get me to page one of the AOE simple ladders! #30 1v1!

Took a screeny since I don't think I will be back there again!

of course the good old jan rush can still work. especially if you can back it up with stagecoach or schooner'ed eco a lil later in the game, if you haven't won yet :-)

my very first game on ESO was against a jan rush and i beat it, so i'm extra proud :-P

edit: poor tuka tasting your wrath :twisted:

Well, as far as I remember it never got nerfed in outside fp except for that first balance patch of ES, with 200w tps it's perfectly viable.

it was my very first aoe3 experience, before i went to ESO i asked google for a strat, it spit out the cuirassier crusher (on heavengames).
i should built 2 tps but cuz i didn't know the difference between a native tp and a normal tp, i built native tps and trained the units which saved me, later in fort skirms+ cuirs got him.
the BO was th like, 3cdb, 4cdb700w 2 tps, stable rest houses, go fort, send 8+7 skirms, train cuirs etc.
if in trouble research cdb ups and fight with them, peek-a-bo technique (garrison/ungarrison in TC)

i even found the link to it lol
CUIRASSIER CRUSHER

drew keep on the streak and we might see you as a brigadier soon :)

Nice, Drew! And don't worry about laming. When you're in this category of players, there is little difference between the words "lame" and "effective strategy considering all relative strengths and weakness."
