[Team Games] How many units can you mass by 7.5 mins?
With China I am used to having 28-31 units made by the 7.5 min mark. In my switch to the Iro I am getting anywhere from 20-28 (depending on if I go mainly toma or aenna or 50/50 split).
My main BO for this is:
3 vills
Travios makes a Farm
Vills build a house
Click Age up with the Messenger woman at 3.25-3.5 mins
Move 4 vills to wood, leave rest on food
Build War Hut during transition
Received Travios secures a far out hunt
5 vills
4 vills
Conservative Tactics (rolls in at 7.5 mins)
-Switching 4 vills out for the 7 Aenna shipment might be what I need to fix. Also, the 500 F BB for 5 Toma seems pretty good. If someone can offer me tips to modify this BO for a team game, it would be appreciated. I am still searching for a 3v3 team game with an Iro player in it, yet the Challe, Drew, and Sporting 1v1s have been quite helpful so far.
Main question, how many units should I have by 7.5 mins with the Iro? If anyone wants to list how many units they have with other civs by 7.5 mins, go for it.
Thanks all,

Apparently you can get 40 Tomas with Iro at 7 mins, but I think its just bullcrap cos thats like saying you can get 40 muskets at 7 mins, which aint possible even at 8...(unless u get god treasures)

why do you use the travois on a farm? unless you can find many sheep/cows etc... I would make a longhouse with it, and build a TP with the wood. (chop 50 if needed)
5&4 vil shipments are good, but you risk getting outmassed, and iro's power (also in team games) lies in a strong early push imo, so I'd ship military first and vils later.
conservative tactics aint worth it so early with only 30-ish military, in team games there is more overkill usually and a small boost of 10% will not change the battle outcome as much as 7 aenas or 6 tomas would.
the team 4 bears is also ok in 3v3 or 4v4.
hope this helps u a bit.

just tried it on great plains and I had 30 toma + 7 aenas out at 7.05, but eco was really poor
it was much easier when all BB's where available in age II

if your going for early mass, i dont think the 5+4 vils and conservative tactics are the cards to use tbh, in 1v1 i always ship 4 kanya with the messenger age up, or 5 (+4 in some circumstances) with the wise woman for uber market upgrades if i start with 100 gold. but for infantry mass make toma, use toma bb and ship 7+6 aenna, that should work.
-mongolia and other heavy livestock maps - Travois for farm
-Good Trade Post Maps WITH 300 wood start - Travois for longhouse and make a Trade Post.
-Ranged Infantry Civ (definetaly Russia, maybe aztec) - Save Travois for a Corral
- Gold start i make a longhouse with travois and go market and wise woman

By the 7 min mark I usually have around 20-25 lbs. I'm not sure if thats good or bad :neutral:

Best I can do is with Aztecs, I usually have about 45 maces by then, if my starting crates were kind to me.
Re: [Team Games] How many units can you mass by 7.5 mins?
With the Russians I can have ass loads of strelets. Probably around 70-80
Re: [Team Games] How many units can you mass by 7.5 mins?
Lol nice. That is a lot of strelets
Re: [Team Games] How many units can you mass by 7.5 mins?
7 min w/ 70 strels? I can see it, but that's a stretch

No, you mean 6, and they don't count anyway because they are minutemen.

By 7 and a half minutes...
I wouldn't be too sure.
But, roughly:
- 3 Hussars
- 15 to 20 Jans
- 10 to 15 Abus
I'm not sure though... I don't check the clock much!
