Otto Fish boom

Post by retribution1423 »

This is a strat that i do based on what sporting told me in the ottos on water thread :D Like my ff it only a rough BO as this strat does depend alot on what your oponant is doing.

Deck

1) Schonners, 3 vills, fish upgrade cards x2 Dont know what there called please say if you know)
2) 5 jans, 3 huss, 700+600wood, 700+600gold, 2 carval
3) 5 spahi, 3 spahi, royal mint, refidgeration, 2 falks, 5 mams, 8jans, 5albus
villsx4
4) factorys x2

Age 1
.2 vills on food crate, 1 on wood crate, 3 herd your starting herd to your tc.
.all vills on food for fats age up (obvious)
.build 1 house
.1st card schonners.
.age with 400 wood dude.

Trasition
.4 vills gold rest food
.build another house
.build a dock if you can afford it behind your tc to protect it if possible.

Age 2
.2 vills colect 400 wood
.Build dock now if you havent already got one. cue fishing boat
.Depend on civ for millitary building if its russia/germs/france i go for stable cue hussars.
.ship 700wood.
.build 2 houses a rax market and more fishing boats.
.get vills techs wood as most important.
.i usually go for a jan/huss combo.
.make sure somewere along the line you get your vill tec from the church as when you have fishing boats it can be a ***** to see how many vills you got.

Right now comes the tricky part if your oponant is holding off send 600 wood get another dock up more boats.
If hes being agressive you might like to send 3 huss/5jans.
The main thing now is once you have got about 13 fishing boats start to transfer your food vills to wood and BOOOM. It stiil largly dependant on what you oponant is doing though, i like to harrase him untill ive got more fish tecs, using minimal units then go to age3 and SPAHI!! but i just love otto fort age lol. Age 3 dude based on your oponants units i like the albus dude myself but each to there own.

Please post comment critisms (again not go away you noob lol) :D

oh and also could someone tell me what the fish tecs are called i cant remeber.

Why don't you make a dock as soon as you can, out of interest?

have you tried sublime port card on water map? i'm not sure of using it on a 1v1 per say, but i have used it on 2v2 and 3v3 where your teammate(s) can provide needed protection for the 2 minutes you wouldn't have any food, but my first card was 3 vills, followed by sublime port after starting to go colonial with quartermaster, roughly 3/4 to colonial i had over 1800 wood and just before i hit colonial i shipped schooners and made two docks with 2200 wood for docks, rax and stable and a few houses and quickly started a very nice fish boom upon shipping my 700 wood card

sublime port sucks period. 700w is better. In team games it might be good in some situations later on yes ofc. And making dock asap is good as Colossus said.
