Yes, You're right Milky. I also realized that long time ago. But problem with making dog box is that u loose map control. Either u make dog box or not, it doesn't affect the boom by a big margin. 

And all my recent score are without Dog box.

u LOSE map control with dog box? so the otherteams whole entire military might is focused on killing ur box, ur team decides to just sit around waiting for the enemy to start fbing all over u? whenever i do a dog box my team has almost concrete map control by the time im finished. even if u just start running around with ur box and u keep them chasing u then ur team wil have even more time to fb. a dog box will help u obtaion map control a lot 

You don't lose map control with making a dog box. You get to 199/200 pop, then send the 14 wakina card. you send your dog box one way, spam teepees at their walls at another point, then run your dog box to those teepees. 

Or, if you know you aren't going to get in, maybe make 20 wakina and double with your ally in the natives. that should almost make it gg. 

if you know you aren't getting in with the Sioux dogbox then just use there OP horsees and take out all there starting armies that will set them back so far it will allow your allies to build fwd right up at there walls and obviously once you get to someones walls its pretty much gg, since they know they'll never get rid of the OP Sioux teepees and OP wakina skirms and OP rr that are right in front and supported by an port allow with OP mortars

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. 

Deccan sucks for sioux because of the map.  

about a year ago i played against a sioux player who got almost 2000(1940 - something) score at 40 minutes i saw his deck and there were no score-boost cards(heavy fortifications, BB) he was using the ranching card, i believe and he apparently got 70k food

He also claims to be a general... does anyone know this guy

It was on orinoco as well, so no sea boom

an eso name would be cool

+1 and ive heard that sioux cowing gets u like 15K more food but i havent had the time to test it. since the farm upgrades make livestock fatten faster and improve gather rate for the mtoo 

My highest score was 1800 with cows +brit cow team card and an indian trade team mate.

I traded arround 80k food and had arround 19k - 20k wood.

if you ever face someone good when ur using sioux , and you make a dog box, u will lose map control, guaranteed unless you mix things up and do some weird unconventional sh** with your partner.

cuzz the european civ in charge of defennding vs the sioux will be filling his main pop with goons to deal with box, and tthenn he/she will have overpop to deal with wakina/ double with temate/kill the sioux parterns fb vils.   you have 0 map control wiith a sioux player ingame.

the only thing that can get you map control as sioux aas  far as i know, is doing sstuff like..... bothe the sioux and his mate pushinng ttogehter in nats, or have the mate wall  off the nnats and then pussh with the siioux outsside the cliffs.  but both those options work situationally and have huge possibilities of backfiring loll.

sioux just suck havent had a problem vs them sincei l2p

pps on my phone so SRY FR TYPOS

if people want dog boxes to breach walls they need to start sending a bunch of skirms along with the box to kill the goons.  no running around the map nonsense just a quick push into the base.   dogs alone are never gonna breach walls +goons.

lets evolve ppl and play smarterrrr no meta sheep plz k thx

but the dog soldiers look so fearsome that dragoons lose all taste for battle and run away

worked every time for me
