Sioux Aggressive Fast Fortress

Premise behind the strategy:

Sioux has no need for houses and quality age3 units and shipments. The goal is to get to the Fortress Age and inflict a game ending blow before 10 minutes.

Steps:

• So you’re going to do the standard build up in 1^st Age, everyone on food until you want to age up.

• Age up with the 500 food politician and move 9 guys to gold, leaving 7 on food. (16-villager total).

• Queue up 3 villagers for building during 2^nd Age and have them come out to collect your crates that you got for aging up.

• Ship 4 Axe Riders as your 2^nd Age shipment and use them to harass your opponent. Once the 3^rd villager comes out you should have just enough food and gold to age up to fortress, age up with the 4 Axe Rider politician. Take 4 of the villagers from gold and put them on wood.

• While aging up to Fortress you have to gather enough wood for a War Hut and a Fire Pit, this amount will differ with however many wood crates you got on the map. You want to make sure to have the War Hut and Fire Pit up before reaching 3^rd Age.  If the Fire Pit gets up well before you make it to 3^rd Age put it on the experience dance, I prefer having at least 3 villagers on my fire pit.

• Once you hit Fortress (3^rd Age) ship 9 Wakina Rifles and queue up as many as you can afford while now using your extra 4 axe riders from aging up to continue your raids. I like to have 5 villagers on the fire pit for the fertility dance at this point.

• Once your 9 Wakina shipment arrives use them with the 8 Axe Riders and however many Wakinas you have built to attack your opponent. Continue to send shipments and build Wakinas.

• Once you gain the upper hand put as many villagers as you can afford on the Fire Pit for either Attack Dance or Siege Dance.

Once his TC is down type ‘gg’ and go about your day happy that you just completely wrecked that guy.

Instead of 9 wakinas if you can get 1000 gold when you hit fortress you can use the (I think its) 18 wakina and and upgrade (again i think its) 20% all actions damage.

well this strat seems a pretty regular FF. give us some TAD strats!

it is the kettle card, for 16 wakinas, also it is agreesive because for a normal ff u would send 700 gold as ur second shipment instead of four axe riders. this sounds gd becuase people will think that u plan to raid constantly so they will make pike and muskets, then when u ff, the RR and wakina will decimate his army. on more thing, your strat never metions anything aobut losing axe riders

lmao. Its been some time and now people have somehow found that wakinas are OP now? ... um im still obssessing over the cetan bows lol.

Nice strategy btw. :D

mmmm i like to have 20 vills in food in age2. and 10 in gold... so i can go to age3 and make dancing burning in the fire pit.. so i can destroy tc oponent whe he stil in age2...

all army is in ship 5 rrf,4 axe. and 4 more rrf...

is = most powerful but slow... to fast fortress a little..

to make 20 vills . ship 4 vills,15 bissons, 12 bissons.. so i have all food i need to age up fast
