Otto spahi ff
Posted: Sun Nov 02, 2008 8:03 am
Hi this strat is probley old but its loads of fun especially vs russia! The best thing about it is most expect a jan rush, make ri, then find 5 spahi munching them!!
These are the most important cards for you deck.
age1. 3 vills
age2. 700 gold, 700 wood, 5 jans, 3 huss
age3. 5 spahi, 3 spahi, 5 albus, 8 jans, 2 falks, jan upgrade, 1000 gold, 1000 wood
age4. Factory, robber barrons
age 1
. 2 vills collect food crates and 100 wood, rest to hunts.
. build 1 house.
. ship 3 vills
. age with 200 gold, 1 tower. I have seen this refuted, but the way i see it is less time colecting gold more time collecting food which is needed and a tower to help protect your food vills and shot away millitary.
. make sure you herd at least 1 herd (2 is best) back to your tc.
Transition.
. Collect the rest of your wood/gold use this to build more houses.
. transfer 4 vills to gold until you get 100, then put them to wood
age 2
. ship 700 gold asap.
. collect your 200 gold when your 700 arives.
. Try and collect your 700 asap to try and cover your strat. If his explorer is near your tc send the gold to your outpost, this may not decive him but worth a try i guess lol.
. build your outpost within tc fire however covering a herd, or your gold vills if your mine is place annoyingly.
. build a rax, market and as many houses as possible.
Transition.
. move 3 vills off of food put em on gold.
. i usually dont start queing millitary untill ive got 1000 food so i can send my spahi as soon as i get to fort. Once you've got this start queing jans.
age 3
. Send your spahi, when you get them send them off to raid. These guys munch vills for breakfast so if they have any unprotected get them.
. If you have enough pop space put a couple of your wood vills back to food.
. dont engage any millitary unless its unsupported ri its not worth losing your spahi.
. i usually make a healer guy if the spahi get to badly damaged.
. bassicaly the idea here is to pin your oponants vills down whilst you build up your force of jans.
. if your oponant is being agressive next card is 2 falks or 8 jans which ever you see best.
This is only a rough guide to be honest i change my bo pritty much every time depending on my oponant. This strat works realy well vs russia as they mostly go strelet/cossack vs otto and start mixing musks later, good thing about this is that you'll catch them in the stage with not alot of musk support and any they do have your spahi will rip through.
I have also found this to work quite well vs Germany aswell if they stay in colonial. If they ff as well it can become tricky.
Any guidence/critisism is welcomed as long as it isnt go away you noob lol!!
ps can anyone serjest some more civs this could be good against? hmm maybe france??
