Discovery
Starting Crates:
2 Wood Crates: Build a market + house, gather 50 wood/coin, research hunting dogs
1 Wood Crate, 1 Coin Crate: Build a market, gather 50 wood/75 coin, buy 100 wood for a house, research hunting dogs
1 Wood Crate: Build a house
- Herd hunts to your TC
- Ship 2 Settler Wagons
- Age with 17 villager population and the 400 wood politician
Transition:
- Switch 1 Settler Wagon to coin, and 4 Settler Wagons to wood
- Build a market if you haven't already, research Placer Mines, and switch the 4 Settler Wagons from wood to coin once you've gathered an additional 125 wood
Colonial
- Research Steel Traps
- Gather 400 Wood
- Ship 3 Settler Wagons - - - Put 2 of these Settler Wagons on food and 1 on coin
- Research second gold upgrade
- Build 2 houses
- Train settlers until you have the resources to age, and age with 6 Skirmishers
- Ship 700 wood
Transition to Fortress:
- Switch those 2 Settler Wagons currently on food to coin
At this point you can do a lot of things to complement your age 3 shipments, you can build a barracks for Skirmishers and ship Black Riders or Hackapells depending on the matchup, or you can build a stable for Uhlans/War Wagons to go with really any shipments, grabbing the veteran Uhlan upgrade will definitely complement your two 8 Uhlan shipments.
You can even build a Saloon if you're feeling lucky... pray for something like Highlanders.
Once you reach Fortress ship whatever military you need, along with any Uhlans or Skirms or whatever you may be making. Don't be afraid to buy wood for housing if you really need to, eventually get the wood upgrade and switch some villagers and the TC waypoint to wood so you can keep up with your housing and producing different types of military.
RAID! It's important that you continue to harass the other player. You'll most likely have a strong lead in military and upgrades, try to keep it this way by crippling his economy and keeping an eye on whatever your opponent is making.
