Im dutch, even having 80 villagers is impossible. so gtfo

 

Also...

You guys are all acting like you would be expecting this attack. Does anyone put into effect the element of suprise? and the way you can use your allies as temporary decoys?

You know.. Like a super secret spy

And one thing I forgot. The whole point of the 60 guys. Is to kill all soldiers/buildings.

And I never guaranteed a 100%success rate.

In Dutch you have 75 villagers economy with 50 villagers which leaves 150 for military while other civilizations has 100 villagers economy with 100 military. So you have extra 50 military units with dutch in exchange of having 25 less villagers. It might be beneficial in certain cases (like big number of artilley units which Dutch will usually have which takes 5 per slot

haha, 60 musks will go down in no time vs organs cassas and goons.

If all those withing walking distance, switch all musketeers into hand mode and none of those units can counter in hand combat.

I guarantee that the musks will not make it through the goon/cassas meatshield and kill the organ guns.  Those musks are as good as dead.

So your counter to this is organ guns with massive meatshield. Why to use Goons and cassadors as meat shield then since they are not very good at deflecting hand attack. Probably will be better halbs or pikeman as meatshield.

 

With casas and organ guns alone shooting at them, the musks wouldnt even get close enough to be able to engage the skirms in hand2hand, and if they did, assuming a few got there, the cassas are in staggered formation, only a few will be taken into melee while the others and the organ guns, and the goons keep shooting.

The musks would be pwnd, which is what one would expect after being attacked by their counters...  

 

Also, dutch don't even get musks?  

Dutch get muskets from the church card, that is all.

lol fail duch can only get 30 musks

Dutch has halbs which will own equal number of muskets in melee and Dutch has skirmishers which again will own equal number of musketeers in melee. There is no real need for musketeers for dutch.

dude lol your playing against the computer on moderate dificulty thats why it worked try that against me will see how long those cannons last all you have to do is cercle around the infantry without being spoted and kill the cannons then you send your own cannons ahead to kill infantry with anty infantry there to stop you if you try to attack my cannons then to piss you off more i send my cav into your town and raid it till you resign lol... thats my plann against that

i am afraid that i don't have enough patence to try something like that, i usualy just group all my cav in one group (or two if i have lots), all my foor soldures in another group (several groups normally), and my artilary in another group along with any other slow moving units. 

 if i had the patence to do that though, i think that it would work relly well, so well done.

no he said that he was duch in the picture. he had over 60 musketeers. the duch can't get musketeers except from their church card.

I was british then, but I have come to a realization,

 

British<Dutch

Dutch>All

So now I use skirmishers, and note. In the instructions... it says RANGED INFANTRY

so it doesnt matter what I use or what civilization I am I can do it. But now I stick with dutch.

You are planning to replace musketeers with skirmishers? This is not going to work for obvious reason. The only way your thing will work if you replace musketeers with halberdiers (especially if you are Dutch). Put them in cover mode if those will be used as meatshield.

I'm pretty successfull with entire army consisting of only skirmishers and falconets. This saves upgrades costs, and easier to marco compared to 3 type army other civilizations usually have.

Also Dutch does not have best skirmishers, French do.

as great as the technique is i wouldnt find myself using it daily, first of all its looks like Yucatan or Orinico (am i right?) i wouldnt play on those maps usually, secondly, it seems this strat is late game or no rush so again it would be hard to get to.

 Falcs are age 3, and while you may have Grenadiers, not all civs have them, so your looking at a Age3 technique.

overall i wouldnt say its reailable, but it certainly goes without syaing that, you always protect the artillery

-Teutonic

Its actually Texas

OMG nooby or what if u look in the top left corner, ull make out a cpaybara or tapir (i aint fussed bout which), and last time i checked, tapirs.capys hadnt gotten up and moved to texas, and neither have the tropical tree, so tbh, dont lie, i can see ur reasoning for using that map because or large space but u dont need to say a dif map which is more compact than that, either way i still think its a pretty basic strat

thanks for listening

 

This is a good strategy but both clearance groups would most likely take a lot of population, then add the artillery gropu (rear). This would leave your viliagers and town center completly  vunerable. All the enemy had to do is tell his ally to attack your defensless town.
