Aztec Start B.O.
Posted: Thu Oct 09, 2008 7:19 pm
For anyone who's interested, especially Azzy players, here's my start B.O. I've been using it for quite a few games now and it works as well as other styles I've tried.
(1) Go from 5 to 9 settlers. Don't build a house or ship anything age 1.
(2) When you have 800 fd, start to age with the Messenger (quick age).
(3) During the transition build a house and continue to collect food.
(4) When you hit age 2 (which should be way before your opponent):
i. Fill your settler queue
ii. Switch your firepit to produce W.P.s
iii. Select Infantry training as your 1st card; and 700 wd as your 2nd.
i.v. Put 4 settlers onto the F.P. with your W.P.
(5) When the Inf. Training shipment arrives it should produce your 2nd W.P. almost immediately. Then put as many of your remaining settlers onto the F.P. as you can (although still keep enough on fd to let you continue producing settlers).
(6) When the 700 wd shipment arrives collect it. Build a house outside of your F.P.; Build a W.H. infront of your F.P.; Then build more houses outside of your firepit to give you a line-of-sight and to hamper any Cav which will have to run through it to reach your F.P.;
(7) Select 700 fd as your 3rd shipment.
(8) When you have 10 W.P.s, take settlers off F.P. & switch to production dance and build Maces keeping them around your F.P. and fill your T.C queue.
(9) You'll probably then want to ship 10, 9 Maces, or the 600 wd, 600 fd.
And go from there....
It seems to work pretty well. Let me know what you think.
Then go from their.
