This is a great strelet rush i just wanted to share it with everyone.This works very good against the japanese if done properly.Ok here it goes.

First thing you need to do after collecting crates at the beginning of the game is build a house. You want all 5 villies on food after that. Then create 2 sets of 3 villies. Your first shipment should be furrier. Once you get 270 more food you should create one more set of villies.Your second shipment as you go up to colonial should be sawmills. At 800 food and once you start going to colonial put 7 villies on wood and 7 on food. Your upgrade to colonial age shipment should be the 400 wood. then send one of the villies on wood down to the middle of the map to collect wood until you have enough to create a blockhouse.Once you have 250 wood have that villie build a blockhouse. then set it back to wood. Now you want to set your home city shipments to the blockhouse. once you go up to colonial which should be about at 3:40 or so you want one villie to collect the cords of wood from colonial age up. Once that villie is done collecting the cords of wood have it build 3 houses or as many as you can till you only have 100 wood left. Now you should already be building your first set of strelets. Your first colonial age shipment should be the 13 strelets. You want to have at least 43 strelets or 33 strelets and 5 cossacks before you rush them. Once you have one of these you just go in and destroy as many  villies  as possibleand their barracks before they can get a good flow of military going. Then destroy all of the houses so he cant build more villies. After that you want to take out his town center. If you havent won the game by then you might want the 5 spies shipment to find their other hiding villies. Then you will want to split your strelets into sets of 10 and find and kill the rest of the villies. I hope this helps and good luck.

This title was more misleading than The Neverending Story.

I want my money back.

I have yet to buy Tad, so this may be off, but in vannila:

only have 1 shipment b4 i age. get 12 settlers. only one builds house. rest to food.

as soon as one ages- gather wood- get 240. send ONE settler out to enemy fb, put by closest food herd. set hcSHIPMENTs to the fb.

soon as age, make 10 strelets, ships 13 strelets. i just attack with this, surrounding their hc, making sure u kill all their settlers b4 they come back to garrison.

send in more and more strelets. they cant get any wood to build fortifications, or if they do, it's in some obsure corner in the map.

send 700 wood to supplement ur forces, but keep your settler production constant.

this i a really cheap way to win, but ive yet to be beaten with this. i usually like playing Portugese so i know all the ways to turtle. im sure this is out there somewhere, but... oh well.

1 word:

Periods.

All he has to do is make a few cavs and your rush is busted dude. 

Much better to make a 15 muskets with your 13 strelet shipment and some cossacks.  Group your strelets seperate from your muskets so that you can kill heavy infantry fast.

gftftfda wanna play me tommorow and see how good it is?

i mean i can show you.

If anyone had bothered to read this, they would know that this isn't Ivan. If Ivan had wrote this, or indeed even copied it from someone else, he wouldn't have said "I hope this helps and good luck".

It'd be more like "If you don't like it I don't care, your loss noob".

Such precise information, yet it is true. I agree.
