As you all probably all know: i'm quite the rook in supremacy. i got especially problems with some civics which ask a different "touch". you got it native and asians :( ... whenever i play one of those accursed civics i fail... I'm actually screwing up pr 10 style...

i'm now trying sioux in 1v1, but i don't really work... i get owned badly, so badly i would embarress the whole clan if i would play them rated.

the rookish qeustion of me is: what are the basic strats of sioux? what are the tweaks, whant can be abused, what can be *****, can they fish boom and how, can they rush and how, can they turtle and how, can you tell me this???

Well I'l fill in a few Things, They cant boom and there isnt really a point in turtleing as their eco is Below Average.

There are a few Good strats they can do though, to name a few -

- 8 or 5 Axerider FF, ofcourse 5 AR Semi FF is faster.
- Straight FF, although all FF's are risky.
- the only things i saw being ***** was Bow Riders but with the new Generalisation 'nerf' they arent the allround unit they once where.
- but you can still do the pistolero rush, or just pressure with Cetan and Warclub with shipped Axe Rider.

There's been a few 1v1 replays in the last week and 1/2 where someone FF'd with Souix. I recall one game where he was being attacked as he aged and he popped out the 3 grizzlies and that took care of his problem. I noticed they have something like 400 hp and 40 attack, IIRC. Wowsers.

Honcho the pet grizzly. They rock. I recently saw a game with them used by an expert. They were surprisingly effective.

If I wasn't so addicted to playing French at the moment I would give their WH rush a try. Boosted WH units this patch along with shipped in cav and pistoleros has real potential IMO.

Send 10 pistoleros for 500 gold, build some axe riders to protect them and go raid. it's still Sioux's best early strat as they have potentially the best age 2 shipment of all there ...

The trick is to be permanently agressive, using the speed boost of the WC to keep nipping in and out of their base and killing settlers or at least forcing them to garrison.

In age 3, rifle riders appear to be the weapon of choice and make full use of the firepit for attack/siege boosts. If against cannons use the WC boost card to give him OP anti-cannon attack.

I have an old friend who pwned me with his club rush as sioux a few times. I think you actually just posted a game against him Tubruk, conquistador90? It can be surprisingly effective, and this was before the patch. :P

King Vint, I think we saw the same game. I was surprised to find the Honcho card in his deck, and even more surprised he picked the card to defend as he aged up. But, it worked nicely. I swear they each had 400 hp and 40 attack. I'll have to check that, maybe I WAS smoking something.
