Iro can do ok vs civs with weak hand cav.. such as ports. Iro can beat ports pretty easy..

And u should try to use them on andes, and capture the natives, ur eco can handle the extra pop + u finally have a good anti cav unit. U can prob try vs dutch as them too.. or aztec..

Just avoid cav civs as france, spain, sioux.. 

do you know a strat for them

why does everyone say iroquois suck so much?i mean, their musket riders are very strong and with dance, even better.

forest prowlers are very decent skirms plus a stealth ability.

and light cannones are kind of an all around artillery unit.

thier eco is good too, and they have infinite 1500 crates card, which allows them to get some resources later in the game.

Because they have a pretty bad eco in comapison+most units cost wood. musket riders arnt that strong compared to other varients in game. dance got nerfed so its not that great anymore. they dont have many arsenal improvements.

forest prowlers are very good skirms that true

light cannon is probaly 1 of best cannon in game but it cost wood aswell as most iro units meaning its harder to come by.

the only thing good bout 1500 crates is the 500 wood but india can get 1500 infinite all wood and other civs do other things. but its kinda useles.

but iro is an exellent rush civ.

pretty bad eco? How can u say that.. they have 120 vills which are produced very fast with fertility dance + livstock allmost like brits + fur trade + lots of wood gathering upgrades.

So.. when u reached imp u can set 35 vills on wood and 85 on food. This gives  lots of wood and lots of gold after trade.

Try to wall alot with iro.. Forward building with inf, with vills walling behind.. By doing this secure wood with walls so u have wood late game.. And walls also good coz iro's best units are ranged units.
 

Hello Gagemo_2 iroquios is very much worth it. However they require a wood trade or a map with a lot of wood to chop. U must Build tomahawk soldiers. Keep them on hand attack when calvary comes by. Never make annenas only forest prowler. I took a look at your deck and you need some revising as well. Also this is most important think i dont see many player do and makes them lose. You must constantly be switching the war dance and the population dance the population dance allows 25 extra units to be produced as long as there are 25 people on the dance.

After the patch, Aennas are a solid anti-infantry unit for 1v1 rushes due to the ease of getting them out after the initial tomas, but in team games it's better to abide by what you posted.

 To War_Ensemblers remark about iroquios not to play against sioux is not in every case true. I am sorry but i've seen it done by my brother A_monk plenty of times. Make primarly tomahawks and some ranged calvary units should be used. As well as cannons vs infintry and buildings. Forest Prowlers should be used but no more then 20 at a time and not for the initial attack. Your economy is 3x better then sioux. Just be careful of sioux destorying walls. The wall hitpoint dance card may be useful but be sure  switch the dance to population dance/ war dance as I had answered in a question earlier.

To Redemptions post

Yes for rush games aennas should be used for rush/sup games and can be massed like british long bowmen. For treaty you should have enough resources to make forest prowlers. My post is made for treaty purposes only.

How can you set hot keys on the fire pit dances?

You can select the firepit and make that a hot key but u must click for each dance seperately. As far as i know.(to make firepit a hot key press ctrl key and then a #) I am sure u know eliotyuhin but for others.
