Everyone know the Dutch Falc/Ruyter strategy, with 8 pikemen as a early siege threat, SO i decided to post one for the Germans. The point is to get the 4 lanshneckt as soon as you age for the early siege threat, AND they can deal out as much damage as the British 6 LBow shipment. they cost 100 gold a peice.

Once i send those out to distract him, i focus on sending settler wagons and aging up with enough settlers to make the cannons i need once om there.

AGEI: 2 SW.

    400 wood/ should have 16 settlers

4:07 AGEII: 3 SW, 2 SW________ also, B/C germany has the biggist settler shipments, you won't need to make ANY settlers this age. You can if you want, but i just wait for the 3rd age and make 3 TC's.

    Exiled Prince/32 settlers

~8 minutes  AGEIII: Fort- pull out 5 WarWagons from this and 5 Falc.

  * you intead of the fort and WW, send 11 more Lanskneckt and focus ALL on gold, but that's pretty predictible.         2000 gold+1000g+1000g= 4000 gold that's a lot...

Leave a coment or something. Snide remarks are fine.

Not bad, but the Dutch Bank Strategy just flows a lot better, as they dont have to send villies shipments and essentially they cant be raided if uve macroed right. Although, the mercenaries would flow well with the upgraded German shipments, but then again since the Dutch can get coin much more quickly, it would probably work for them better. Idk tbh.

My only real query about this is that, since the germans get shipments slower than everyone else, is how ur gonna get 4 landschnects and 7 SWs from shipments before u age, whilst leaving one for the fort or Landscnechts.

no, Germans get the same shipping time as The portuguese. and the portuguese are the base unit, so i think all but the spanish have the same shipment time.

No they all have the same Shipment Time

 The spanish have a higher XP Trickle Rate while the Germans have a lower XP Trickle Rate

Ill assume this is why the germans get free Uhlans and great merc shipments?

Btw, ur location is no longer in context. All clicking ur sig does is bring up the context menu.

Are you saying you get to age 3 at 8 minutes with 32 settlers??

Also how did you come to the conclusion that you'll have 4000 gold??

Yes that's why Germany gets Uhlans
