otto in 1.01

Any ideas on new strats?

Im not that great on statistics but I just calculated that It takes about 8 min 20 secs to pay back the first tech upgrade (mosque + 100 wood) and if you take the second upgrade when reaching colonial you get even after 11 minutes. In situation 1 you have about 1.5 settler extra. In situation 2 3 settlers extra. But not using 200 wood or 450 wood for fast creation of military is huge!

The change is not that much. You only need to get a mosque up when you have about 22 settlers built. Then take the increased cap followed by faster vills as resource allows.

Otherwise, just the same - although the silk road strats may no longer be worth it - the change from 30% to 15% is a bit excessive in my mind and possibly no longer worth a card.

If you go FF then spahi, followed by 2 falcs while building some jann support you often don't even need a mosque!

I see otto dropping to the bottom of the civ rank (not calling them UP), at lower levels they will still perform well because of the easy playstyle, but I doubt we'll see experts using them

the xp bonus from the mosque sort of makes it worth it to build early, but =/ i tried ottos today i couldnt keep up with japan =p

^You're not supposed to keep up with japan, you're supposed to wth japan with abus (not needed mentioning you also need jans to cover them up)

You always start with at least 300 wood, and millet system only costs 100 wood now, so just make a house and a mosque and get millet system at the start instead of a TP.
