well i was brit, he was dutch, it was 1vs1, i feel like i should've beaten him....all he was doing is spamming with cannons with like 8 or more...how lame...besides, he had no food mills at all. I got his one factory down though, including almost another one down.

 Oh well.

 maybe i should've had more settlers for my eco.

With the British in Deathmatch, you  always want a solid economy. The 20 villagers from houses really helps start your economy up and your explorer can build 2 additional TC next to your first. Then you can spam out settlers 3 at a time and set up an economy quickly.

If he was using cannons, use units that can counter them. For example if he was spamming cannons alone, use hussars. If he had carbineers along with the cannons, use musketeers with culverins behind them to micro the cannons.

And actually, spamming a unit in a game isnt really lame bioschok.

And LOL what a noob wouldnt build 3 TCs at beginning with its explorer, I mean thats the most basic thing ever, everyone knows that...

vs that, just make dragoons, since still, you will get them instantly, and it will be a higher advantage for you, because:

1. Dragoons are more cost effective than ruyters.

2. He just wastes coin, wasting a lot of coin with dutch at beginning isnt really a good idea, since hes banks wont give him a lot of support, specially since DM games last really fast, and he wont really get the enough resources, so only thing that he can make would be trade wood for coin at market or to make pikes.

3. You cant them instantly, while, no civilization can get aritllery instantly, and getting a unit insatntly is really a good advantage for your self.

4. Dragoons would counter artillery.
