yeah i was doing a dog box. i guess andes suck for sioux cause of the lack of abundance of hunts.

I disagree.

There have been many games where I have been sioux in a 2v2 and have hit passed 1600 as there were mountains of hunts (with a port ally), It's just too unpredictable.

Well sometimes there are mountains of hunts near you but the game I played, all the hunts were closer to my ally's TC. So that sucked cause i had to walk my villies halfway across the map and i maxed out 3 mins later than normal.

I guess GP would be the best for Sioux for obvious reasons.

wiht advanced farm its 200

With land grab + advanced farm it's 140 I think. 

skhsri:

What about corral walls, they are cheaper(200 wood vs 400 wood)

Actually, the Advanced Farm card makes the farms really cheap (200 wood), plus it gives them a hit-point boost (100%) too. Add to this the Improved Buildings and even without Town Dance the walls are substantial, with Town Dance they are massive. My farm Walls were not wasted -- I just had my villagers gathering on the inside of the fence.

As Grandevous mentioned, with Land Grab they will be even cheaper but since it doesn't add functionality I opted for other cards (you need the teepee and warhut cards too).

Most sane players would give you most hunts. that port took 1 hunts and hit 2050.

Back to the sioux walling, why you don't just wall with stabels?

I wall with stabels everytime and it works pretty good for me because if your opponent try to run you can bring out 10 rifle riders or other cav really fast while making wakinas or pulling them back from the front.

some1 else might get there first. the cheyenne and commanche natives gives more bonus than the treasures on mongolia (if u can suceced in retrieving any.)

TacticalWillie:

My score is usually around 2200+ with Sioux...

Put you money where your mouth is and post a recording on medium speed (evidenced by starting and ending timestamped screen-shots) in an on-line or LAN boom (evidenced by having a Sioux opponent).

I think I may be able to get higher though also I  have the record for the game hitting 2090. 

HunterCallahan:

upload rec with rules metis set. also it really doesn't count if it's offline.

or impractical. for instance not sending any military cards before tr only eco just bc u know u wont be fighting. or being dutch and putting every vill on coin and facs on coin and then laming wood trade. and as sioux u should probably make dogs in ur boom too. 

Btw I remeber trying this. If you don't use dogs you have more vills gathering but your army costs a heck of a lot more resources. since your vills don't gather very fast, economically it's better to go with making free dog soldiers than spending more resources on an army.
