Colonial Place your TC somewhere securing nearby resources, but don't place it too far from your base or fb Gather 400 wood crates Research Steel Traps Build a barracks and a house Ship 700 wood With the wood build a second rax and houses Your third shipment will be either 700 food or Spice Trade, depending on your preference For fourth or fifth shipments, ship wood if you need houses or anything else you need like a musket upgrade.

In nilla I'm always in doubt about my first card, so i normally decide not to send anything and save it for age 2. Is this good or is a card like furrier better to send?

I think you can afford not to send anything if you want to do a straight ff, so you can send queue a 2sd card after the 700 gold shipment, generally 700 wood. But if you plan on staying colonial, furrier is a better choice, because it gives you +15% gathering, and +20% on berries. It helps to get your early eco going, which ports really need on nilla

Lol i like to rush the shit outa ppl in 1v1 by shipping 8xbow+6musk, which are normally there when u alrdy have 10 musks. it rapes but its like you gotta hurt ur opponent's eco more than it hurts ur own to ship units instead of resources

Well, if you're not going to send anything age 1, you could just ship 300 wood and build a trade post... That way you get extra shipments from it and later resources.
