    Subject: General Strategy Question(s)
    I've never really successfully played deathmatch online; as a matter of fact I've never won. Some time last year, I posted in the Warchiefs deathmatch forum for general strategy tips and got some help there; however, I didnt really play deathmatch more. Well, recently I played a 2vs2 "noobs" game in deathmatch as the French; I tried to play strategically and built 2 town centers, an outpost, 2 stables, and about 10 houses. Then I sent my villagers to gather resources. I had about 5 cuirs (thats right, I was doing the lame cuir spam) and 10 skirmishers after 4 minutes when the enemy swarms into my town with like 150 halberdiers!

    Now, this means two things; a- I am a noob, and b- the other player was good. But it also raises the questions: if most deathmatch players attack in 3-5 minutes like these 2 did, then how do you incorporate the general strategy ideas such as "make lots of villagers" and "build 2 town centers"? Are most deathmatch games this fast paced? Are there ever deathmatch games where players max out villagers? How much strategy is really needed?

    I'm sorry for the noobish questions, but I'm really interested in getting a higher deathmatch ranking and want to play it more.

    Ok dude what you want to do is drop the whole 2 town centers idea and just make loads a skermishers or whatever ya call em lots of anti infantry calvry anit calvery and mortors about 5 mortors to be exact then you start making all that stuff (build the 10 houses after the stables)

    Those who live by the sword perish by the sword Which is why I use guns.

    huh?

    Nirmally a DM fast rush is as 3rd minute as maximum 1st minute as minimum

    Firstly you need 3 TCs, 17 houses, and the most important building of all build church, DONT create vills if you are being raided and attacked all time,

    Get the very important cheyenne tech and get the upgrade of church of 2000 XP for 1500 coin, then send the cards of fast creation cavalry, infantry and buildings, then send thourghberds, thats how you get units instantly.

    build outposts near your base, since still you dont need wood a lot,

    What I ususally do for AOE 3 the first one is I use Russia and 1 send 2 villies to build houses 1 to build a church and pgrade the merchantilism then i send 2 villies half way up the map to build 3 blick houses and 2 stables and 2 artilery founderies.

     Then  when i get my 5 shipments i get 4 wagons for blockhouses send them up to my villies and i get troops train faster to get instant troops.

    By that time you will have enough houses to do an all out rush on the enemy base.

    I also get a lakota villiage with my explorer than build 2 more tc then i pump out villies for eco while i am attaking.

    I usually win P.S. Iam a 2nd leutenant!

    Actually, sending 4 wagons of block houses is pretty useless, better send sevastOPol, then send cards off as creation inf and cavalry... then the card that allows your musks build forts, also I like getting mortars and desotry enemy TC, so I can build forts tih musks in hes own base and spam everything I want....

    Also getting comanches isnt bad idea either.

    P.S. I am a captain...

    my problem is you.  most of your posts that i have seen you are cutting other people down and acting like you own this forum.  lighten up and let other people express their opinion without you flaming them!

    I am not flaming em...

    if you would read carefully, I almost never flamed anyone, I just corrected em or added a few suggestions...

    Also, see the date of those posts, because no one cares of something that was posted 50 days++  (I know that the message you quoted in this thread isnt that old, but some others you quoted are...)

    and last thief, srry for being a bit agressive, but idiot noobs like garrett_thief that just flame other people make me mad.
