ok i have only just started using germans in sup and i have used them in dm (i am lv 18dm player).  I know the cards u are talking about and used them in action in my dm games, but i cant get them in sup cause my civ is still too low. 

I skipped a lot after i got through the first 6 or 7 pages and will go back to reading latter (great stuff).  I was wondering u mention xp farming, how can i do this and will it help me get the cards i want?

 Also i obv dont have the +2 house cause my civ is still a low 18, and when i try to battle i can have a great eco but cause of numbers i have a piddly little army and just get over run.  does anyone else have this problem, or should i just have a teaspoon of cement and harden the *** up and just try to find people my lv and (the still have civs over 100) get xp and cards the old fassion way.

I also would like to know if there is any way in a game to get xp up to get visits to hc without the use of a tp, I pratice without one on a comp stomp caues your not always able to get one in a team game.  It take me forever to get it up to get cards.

I know my hotkeys and know i can be so much better but it saddens me when i know i am only getting beaten cause i dont have the deck i need.  I reackon mend learning to play dm games just to learn to use your hotkeys. It gives u so much speed without all that clicking of the mouse.

I have only played 10 games won 3 and I can stick with other civs (players with a lv 10 ratting, i am only new so give me a break)in a nr game on eco but again numbers kill me.

for supremacy, your going to want both 2 sw shipments in your deck, 3 sw shipment, 9 cbows, 5 uhlan, and all the 700 resource crates (wood, gold, food in order of priority imo)

with those cards you should be able to hold off for a while without sacrificing anything.

general BO would be 2 sw> 9 xbows> 3 sw is whats used in TAD by the pros (400 wood/500 food for lower levels i think? I dont play german)

also, get a market and first wood/food up while aging, and make 1 barrax immedietely upon age 2.

 I wouldn't recommend palatine settlements until you have all of the other cards ether mentioned in ethers post.

about xp farming, I dont see it ever on aoe (instant level 100 hcs much ^^) but what you do is host a game 2 players called xp farming or plantation spam, make it very fast start in post imperial on great lakes, get half of the tps (be respectful and let other player have other half!) and spam plantations (make vills also very useful)and delete plantations and repeat

once you open your hc window and your xp amount is red, (and your  opponents is also, just ask him) you wont be able to gain any more xp, so quit and rehost. (game is unrated, dont worry!)

I've been playing again lately.

I read over the strats again last night and there are quite a few things I have "improved" on and there are certain things that are obsolete... such as having to worry about Spanish rushing. This may be true at lower levels (until people know how to FF), but everyone 2nd Lt and above pretty much FF's or TP-FF's with Spanish now. I also find myself disagreeing with some of my card choices from how-many-ever-years-ago.

I may copy the strats, update them a little bit, and post them in a new thread as well as post some new ones, just to trim things down a bit and make it more relavent to now.

sweet nice thead plus over 370 posts on it wow  that amazing. 

this gives me a decent idea how to use them now

hooray! :D

Aloysius hear me roar!!!!

Please sticky the strategy thread in my sig. Or atleast tell me why not.
