Yumi's are great against cavalry and suck against infantry, especially when the jans don't use melee.

yumis are designed to counter heavy infantry, what you talkin about

While aging, try to build your manors aggressively, so that they will be less likely to fb close, and it will give you more time to get units and to boom. Also, building manors around hunts and trees gives you an advance notice as to where the enemy is going. Higher ranked players build their manors all around the map, and almost never in their base. Also, I dont think they use virginia company, but instead use 700 wood.

True. They also have 600 wood in their decks as well. Something I often do and recommand other's to do as well is to look at expert's decks. You can do this on ESO, search for the expert in question, say NP, then look at his brit HC. Experts (heck, most people) usually have a short name or title for their decks, so you know what deck works for what (sometimes they use numbers, which is more annoying).

Manors are an excellent pathfinding problem for enemies, mostly because even if u do destroy them, middle game it actually helps the opponent unless hes maxed out or doing estates (which isnt likely) Good job Wilson

Imo, the only better anti raid buildings are defensive ones (Outposts, TCs and their variations) and Teepees.

Yea der, for Sioux! They are a good option, except don't provide extra settlers when made (I think).

Yes, I know, I'm not stupid. I play Sioux as my main civ. Teepees provide a 10% HP bonus to the units around it and an attack bonus when you send Friendly Nation.

What I meant is that he said that teepees are better anti raid buildings which isn't true. They're weak (300 hp, 450 with nomadic expansion) and cause very little pathing problems. Only good for anti raid is a cheap LOS.

"Der".

No, because theyll realise and garrison, pwning your villies...

~ Matt ~ Kestrel ~:

Moreover, he'll have a functioning eco and u wont...

• If they remain garrisoned you continue to hund another close herd. His economy doesn't grow and yours does.
• If they come out attack them again, your Tepee will help you win the battle. Then you have villagers and he doesn't, so you've basically won.
• If he sends out all his villies except one continue hunting. Age up and build War Hut. Then its: Tepee+War Hut+Infantry v Barracks+TC+Infantry. If you can destroy his TC he is doomed. (So won't be effective against Russia, due to Blockhouse having an attack too.)

So it seems a win/win situation, and your opponent suffers either way. Try it, if done with accuracy could win easily!
