Nasty strat/move

[Marksman_Anders]

Well, I don't know if you can actually call it a strat, but a move then. Or if its been thought of before, but the other day I noticed that the japanese cherry orchards only have 100 HP... Chinese can ship 7 steppe riders in colonial and they have 25 in siege...

What if one could age up as quickly as possible (of course) and send the 7 steppe riders and attack his cherry orchard(s). (on some maps you get two).

I haven't tried it yet, but in theory it should work I think. One would prolly lose a few steppe riders to TC fire, but it would weaken his eco a bit. Of course there's also the berries, but depending on how fast he is, he would lose a good say 3000 food perhaps??

Just a thought.

you can't attack it when it's "deployed" imho

[Marksman_Anders]

Just tried and you're right.

LOL. Thank goodness - let's hear some cheers from all Japs fans.

[Marksman_Anders]

lol, worth a try though.

There are a few glitches in the game where you can attack huntables, mines, trees, etc. Though i've never seen one happen for cherry orhcards. LOL.

You can't attack cherry orchards. Otherwise you'd just send your explorer (15 siege) in age 1 and blow em up right off the bat. Japan would be worthless.
