yea, i do that too, i think its good because even if tehy destroy your houses you shouldnt worry about the pop because you will probably have so many, and if they get detroyed, u can make more= free villgers.

Wilson_teh_Great:

When I play as Brits I tend to build my manor houses in incrediably dangerous places, along the perimeter of my base, in the middle of chokepoints and sometimes in the middle of the map. Why? It's because that mid-game, if the enemy destroys those manors it will help my boom. And when they attack my manors, I know their troop movements and what units they have. It also gives me line of sight on the map, preventing raids.

Am I being wise or foolhardy? Is building my manors on the frontlines good or bad?

Good job: use manors as LOS, walls.

I don't build manors for LOS, I build wall stubs, go to the church, get the tech that adds LOS, and it's like having spies in everything but the vicinity of your opponent's TC.

It should be 100% the same.

I have suspisions it isn't in TAD, so possibly different in TWC too. I'd check but I lost the link to that Unit Properties page :(

Teepees don't affect villagers.

:( Oh well, it sounded to good to be true. I wonder about the stat differences between TWC Villagers and Vanilla Settlers...

Yes he will have a small headstart whilst your villages walk BUT:

If they remain garrisoned you continue to hund another close herd. His economy doesn't grow and yours does.
If they come out attack them again, your Tepee will help you win the battle. Then you have villagers and he doesn't, so you've basically won.
If he sends out all his villies except one continue hunting. Age up and build War Hut. Then its: Tepee+War Hut+Infantry v Barracks+TC+Infantry. If you can destroy his TC he is doomed. (So won't be effective against Russia, due to Blockhouse having an attack too.)

So it seems a win/win situation, and your opponent suffers either way. Try it, if done with accuracy could win easily!

Nah, I was thinking more hit and run style. So you attack, when they begin to garrison you run. Keep hunting the nearest bunch of herdables (that are out of range, so not nessecarily your opponents herd) until he comes out. Then attack again and repeat...
