 this is 4 ports only: WORKS BEST ON SAUGENAY

 1.do usual rush wit guys on food and first new settler build house then chop wood

2.age wit 500 food poly and swap 7-8 settlers on wood

3.build house + market and research wood and food upgrades

4.once colonial, put new tc forward and put a rax there

5.by now ur 2nd shipment should have been earnt, as soon as it comes ship 8 x bows

6.harrass enemy settlers and avoid battle à hit and run

7.train more xbows, a few pikes and when u get enough gold and food, start musketeers

8.whilst training military keep harassing but avoid conflict

9.once u feel ready push forward and attack

10.if town is too guarded (outposts) then go around edges and keep training pikes/musket 4 siege

11.keep pressure on and u should have seriously damaged enemy and should win

Shipments

1. 300 food

2. 8 xbowmen

3. 700 gold

4. 6 muskets

5. 700 food

6. fast infantry training

After this it is up to u ***NOTE*** the first 3 r essential, the rest are important but play on ur needs

Keep training settlers til u have 34-40 (19-20 hunting, 7-8 wood rest, gold)

Not bad

Rushes tend to work well for Port cause the enemy never thinks a port player will rush. 

why does this only work on saguenay? this strat works on any standard map dude...

u need more on wood during transition, and NEVER stop making vils, especially not at 40 :|

but not bad.

i said it works best on saugenay --> lots of resources especially huntables and relatively close to tc and i only stop making villiies cuz ive beaten guy by then or just finishing siege.

actaully its what all people do in 1vs1 if using port with only difference its that they dont rush they defend, the most important its turtle and defend your colony from all rushes, since if u rush wtiha port u will get easily countered.

People dont just counter Port easy

They have the element of surprise cause everything they will do what you just suggested.

he said it worked best on saquanay he didnt say that was the only map you could play it on

oh yeah, sorry...

but i'd say it works best on a map with less resources close to TC than usual, as you will be the one raiding and you will have map control...

say rockies or hispaniola.

it should work relatively shitty on saguenay..

People dont just counter Port easy Yes they are, In 1vs1 I just do my aztec puma rush And I destroy their barracks before done, as their covered wagon, then the opponent resigns and I won game lol

 

They have the element of surprise cause everything they will do what you just suggested. With ports in 1vs1 I do constant raids too, I use spyglass, and then attack their villagers, althgouht I never select ports if I am vs civilizations such as, spain, russians, germans (actaully germans yes, if its a map in whihc I can defend well villies), ottomans,  aztecs or iroquis).

My answers are in black letters. 

hmmmmm, rockies would b good..........

ffing works well 2 if ur quick and put up defenses

 but the covered wagon is usually safe if quick enough wit troops it isn't that easy to counter because if u turtle, then me in center of map goes fi and keeps rading and building troops. wall and attacking buildings would be a problem but send petards in after a small distraction and ur good.
