    Fur trade is always an excellent idea. I usually get my army out by ~26 min so my opponent can't get spies (sooner if you can). Then I switch lots of villies to food, probably about 90. I only gather enough wood and gold for upgrades and defenses. Then I send fur trade at 39:20 so it arrives right at 40 min. Food gathers faster than gold, and it gives you extra gold when you switch it. Because you have so many guys on food, getting your food back isn't a problem. Your score should be at least about 2k.

    fur trade is definately  a good idea as india i usually send it 5 mins before end of game and have around 70k coin then keep your paddies on food till u have like 40k food buy spies and upgrades then switch half back to coin if youve used karni mahal your coin gather will be fine this is my usual strat and it doesnt lose very often so i highly recomend it

    IMO opinion it would be much better to give south sea bubble or that ottoman card to the Indians as they need a lot of wood, and wood is a limited resource. Coin isn't as hard to get as wood though fur trade does help. It would make india much less UP if fur trade was swapped for south sea bubble or that otto card in the next patch.

    yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy:

    70 k? thats it? I usually send fur trade at 36 min and end up with between 115 k and 130k gold(depending on map)

     

    im able to get about this much and with well over 20k wood.  It is also wise to have 1300 infinate wood shipment in ur deck so you can keep sending it over and over so u never run out of wood.  When the game is over, i usually have around the same amount of wood that i started with (20k wood).
