I know I already replied to this topic, but I gotta repeat myself and say that this strat is positively amazing! I love it!

So far I have only practiced it against hard comps, and played with my family members reaching 3rd age in about 7:30 and getting 18 skirms in 8:50 (so far my record, getting better all the time)... Soon I'll take this strat to use in ESO. I have noticed that somehow keeping my settler count at the 22 goal that was recommended seems to cause me trouble.. I tend to hit age 3 with 18 settlers; I somehow forget to make 'em villies even though I have more gold than I could spend. Such a noobish mistake, kinda embarassing, isn't it. :P Anyway I'm working on it.

<3 great strat

Unfortunately I have been unable to watch the video from filefront. My network speed is currently so low: I'm using my old, slow laptop now, that's te reason.

MrMilo, this strat is great and I hope you'll post more great strats ASAP. This was Parfait's strategy wasn't it? You think you could get your hands on strats by other top players? That'd be great.

Just one thing; isn't military reforms a twc or tad card?

I can't find in the vanilla card selection.

Just a question see if anyone could help me out with this.

In  a 2v2 or 3v3 team play rush game, we expect to have army as early as like in around 6 minute or even earlier. Is there any effective way that I can change this FF stra a little bit in order to  play in a team rush game?

Mr. Milo, with the 300 wood thing, i believe in the non expansion aoe the banks cost 350 wood. i was trying out this strat a couple times on single player. it works great  but the only question is the 350 wood thing. should i just get 350 wood while going to colonial instead or should i get more? and around 10 minutes i can pump out at least 50 skirms :D. thanks

In the expansions, they also cost 350 wood and 350 food.

I have tried to use this strat, and Mr.Milo please tell me what I am doing wrong because I can never age up and get around 20 skirms etc in the time you did.

This isn't cause I don't know how, but in rush games (the only game sort where this would be useful) my opponent attacks me by 5+ min. He attacks my villies and they are forced to hide in the TC. So they can't build anything, nor can they gather resources. In your demo your villies were not raided at all so it was possible for you to do it, but in a real match you will be rushed before you can FF properly.

Suffice to say every game I have tried to use this strat on I have lost. Is it not for 1vs1? Because I mostly play 1vs1, so that may be why.

 How do I prevent the enemy from rushing me and messing up my FF? You mentioned colonial militia in your video, but I can't send that in without messing up the card order and failing to FF in time.

btw, IMHO you spoke a little too softly in your video, no offense but you said you wanted feedback so can you please speak louder next time you make one . I always find myself raising the volume of windows media player to listen to your video.

Yep, and I think that's a good price for them.

It's a great strategy btw. I actually did one like this, except I used East India Company instead of resource crates. Then again, I would build a lot more banks lategame. But since this is faster, it being stripped down is an advantage. I'm definitely going to give this a shot in the future.
