Hmmm...
Whats The Japanese Shrine Boom Build Order
[/quote]IMO, don't play Japan. You won't learn anything about how to get good at the game.
[quote=""Tubruk""]on a more serious and less lame note, i've read about a Russian FF thats supposed to be strong, anyone know the BO? or atleast what im talking about?[/quote]
The "best" Russian FF is to fake a hard rush and then pop into age III when he least expects it. You also need some help with the starting crates. It's risky and I wouldn't try it too often. Here's how I do it:
Don't send a shipment in age 1. Age w/14 vils and send all but 5 vils to wood once you hit the age button. Send 3 vils forward to build a bh (preferably near his 2nd hunt) once you have 250 wood and then split them for food/gold to get 300 gold. Once you have 300 gold, all to food. Age w/400 wood poly. 500 food may be better in some cases, but most of the time not. 1st card in age II is 700 gold, immediately followed by 5 cossacks. Sometimes you need to reverse this, again as drew says: adapt. The 5 hussars are to keep your opponent harrassed and in his TC. Anything to keep him from building an army. Don't build any military in once you get to age II. You can usually hit the FF button pretty quick and you're on your way.
Why 400 wood you ask? 2 houses and a stables. Now set your vils for your eco and you can pretty much spam cossacks/opricks and musks w/2 cannons from shipments and it's pretty difficult to beat..don't put up a market until you are well into age III unless you find an OP treasure. Then the Great Coat can be useful. GL HF.
