[quote=""Sporting_Lisbon""]French ain't that hard tho :p
Translation
I'll keep on in french ok?
Ok you have two solutions:
1) Age 2 4.25 with 400w , build ?rax?, ship 700w you build 2 houses next to tc, you start making xbows! If there's Yumi ship 2 outposts, you turtle like mad and spamming xbows...Don't forget fighting next to tc with vills garrisioned! Hit And Run and you're ok.
2) Against Ashi, do the same, 3rd card 8 xbows...If you aren't attacked, ship 700c and age, age 3 get tirailleurs. You ship 8 skirms if there aren't many xbows, or else change your xbows in skirms!
Don't forget getting CIR in the arsenal for 3x vs HI! Then you can take it o easily with cannons and skirms!
3) If you realize the other dude is too slow and he's gonna age, you make the old pike rush!
Age 2 quick, send 20 pikes against houses at the four corners of the map...It will delay him and you spam xbows, it works easily!
There you go, with me it works, I've also been playing french for two years.
You lazy british people should learn other languages once in a while :p

Sam, In age3 make ashi/nagi and get all the daymios you can take. He won't be expecting nagis most of the times and if he is, kill the goons with your fast ashis. On water maps it's an easy matchup - ageup with torii gates, ship 3+5+5 fishing boats and you get a nice eco. In fortress take the shogunate.
I don't play french in 1v1 so I can't help
