I'll be on sometime this weekend and if you want to help just post below . Thank you to everyone in this community (You are the Best !!! I <3 you guys ).

P.S: Post what times you will be on I live in EST time zone

Lool Eat the living cow

OK guys has anyone tried this yet as the Japanese you take a cree settlement and you are able to make the French style villager anyways. If you set them on food gathering instead of killing the animal as Japan cant they just follow it around taking away its meat value till it disappears.

Quite funny to see

Anyone else seen any funny little quirks in TAD?

French on NR20 and NR40

Casoberto — Tue, 07 May 2013 11:42:50 GMT

Hi, I need help to get a better French boom, for NR40 I was looking for some BO since i always finish treaty with 2100~.

Now for NR20 I need advices on how to boom better since I go Imperial on 15 but almost every time I never have time to make an army on 20 and at least upgrade them decently.

Fighting the French

Mailam — Wed, 01 May 2013 01:52:38 GMT

I just finished playing a match with a French player who found and exploited a weakness of mine that I really never knew I had. This player simply spammed those heavy Calvary troops all over the place, to counter this (being British) I turned my muskets to hand attack and did every thing else in my power to stop his troops. However, my attempts proved to be vain and useless. His Calvary simply washed over my troops and eventually got through my walls. All I need to know is if there is any better way to fend off that sort of player with an British army.

Hi guys, a buddy and I started playing 20 min treaty, and I cant seem to figure out the eco to beat his dutch banks. He quickly gets to imperial age, buys spies, and then just spams the damn halberdiers. Anyone know a good counter to this?

Thanks

British cow boom help

Mailam — Thu, 25 Apr 2013 02:12:28 GMT

Latley, I have been doing some reaserch on the British civilization and I have found that "manor" booms and "cow" booms are very popular stratageys. I would like to know what these booms are and how they work.

additonialy, I have been working on a new build order creating format that will let me have the ability to form some "down to second" build orders for many civilizations. However, I do not know how long ages 2-5 take to "load", how long cards take to "load", and how long it takes for villagers to build various buildings such as houses and mills. If someone could inform me on these times, I would be very grateful. (European settlers)

I am sorry if this sounds "nerdish", but we are currenty talking on an online web site about stratagey. So in short, if you are reading this you are a nerd too. ;-)

Help with French Boom ?

demdude222 — Sat, 13 Apr 2013 12:14:41 GMT

Hi guys i am a decent treaty player , (not the best ) but i manage to win 70% of my games and am constantly swapping between Corpral and Sergeant.... I get around 1300 points with most civs and with my personally preffered civ, germany i can get up to 1500 and maybe 1600 if i have a good day, however with France its a whole different story... i barely manage 1000 points with them and at the end of treaty have roughly only 15k wood, 20k gold (after i get spies), and 30 k food.. are there any tips out there for improving my french boom, most people say french are the easiest and best, and whilst i do agree their militarty is strong, i just cannot seem to get the best out of their economy, HELP!!

Aztec Question?

Kitty :3 — Thu, 27 Dec 2012 16:55:34 GMT

I realized that everyone says the Aztecs have OP walls :/. What would happen if the Aztec player had a Portuguese ally with Team Wall HP? Wouldn't they have unbreakable walls?

Best French 40 min. treaty score?

Mike — Tue, 23 Apr 2013 10:38:10 GMT

Okay, so I was wondering what was the best score you can get as French in a treaty game, I can get around 2300... But then I saw this: http://img827.imageshack.us/img827/5962/screen6l.jpg and this http://www.mediafire.com/?d104bh7s14jcyk3

Is it possible to get 3k score as French in a 40 min. treaty game? Watch this rec and you'll see that something is not right... He did so many mistakes and did so many stuff wrong, that tp didn't change anything, he just got some shipments a bit earlier. According to all this mistakes he would have like 2500-2600 score.

I know this build is better than the standard build, but the thing is that I can't find any good recs of this build, many guys do that standard build and I know only standard build which isn't bad at all for my level, but I wanna know what you guys think about this, did this guy cheated or it is really possible to get 3k score in 40 minutes?

Indian Civilization

George — Sat, 09 Feb 2013 22:31:38 GMT

Hi,

I had AOE three since 2006 and the expansions when they came out. I never tried the Asian civilzations or the Natives. They didnt interest me. I bought the expansions because Im a huge fan of treaty. So I bought the expansions for that reason. Yesterday I was bored so I tried the Indian civilization. After playing a game with them I fell in love with the civilzation. I have a few questions about the Indian civilzation.

1) What cards should my deck have for a 40 minute treaty?

2) How should my army be composed when facing a opponent for a 40 minute treaty?

3) What do I upgrade to get my economy better(In game)?

4) How can I make my army spawn faster?

5) Is there anything like plantations for the Indian civilization?

Sincerely,

Immentice

chinese strategy in treaty 40 minutes part 2

alex3d — Tue, 23 Apr 2013 02:54:35 GMT

Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 Now on this part I shall bring you my strategy. I don’t need too much gold, but I definitely will use a lot of food and wood. While this tactic will not enable me to get 10% more hit points for my land units from the British consulate nor craft of food, wood and gold not mentioned Gendarmes of France but it surely bring cheaper banner armies (30% cheaper and trickle of food, wood and gold) from Germany consulate and Factory, Fort and Blockhouse of Russian that’s for me enough to deal with any kind of enemy.

Age I

Use Exotic Hardwood card. The first available villagers go on food (hunts or forage berries) and created 3 villagers. These 3 villagers go on woods. Then you must create 17 other villagers. 5 villagers for coin, 7 villagers for food and 3 other for wood and the 2 other villagers to build market and villages. If fighting also on the sea then build docks and some of the fish boat to gather whales and fishes. Waited until you get 800 food then go to the next age. With this tactic you will have food and coins within 6 to 8 minutes. Use the market technologies to gain faster hunting, wood chopping and gather all resources when you aging up first. Send your Shaolin monk and Disciple to get as many as food and if can coin. Use the stun attack first then charge the treasure guardian. Picked the single guardian first but after aging up together with Standard army and another Disciple get any treasure as you can but beware to keep of gathering resources with your villagers. The first wonder on this stage will be Temple of heaven that will gives your monks the ability to heal as well as 3 villagers. Or you can pick the Summer Palace with 400 foods. But since this is no rush game, then I prefer Temple of Heaven first.

Age II

Use Mongolian Scourge, then Standard Army hit point and Banner school cards. Now order your builder to build more villages, build the War Academies, and last but not the least Consulate. Keep on train your villagers and research on all of the economy technologies from the market. Train a few Ming and Standard Armies to assist your Shaolin monk and Disciples to get treasure. I prefer each army only 1 or 2. Send your villagers to get coins, food and wood. Concentrate 40 % of these new villagers to coins, 30% on food and 30% on wood, ally with the Russian. But I suggested that you must prefer not to train Banner armies more than you needed them. For this stage then you will aging up with the Summer Palace, this will bring you 1000 foods at the time you entered age III. You will able to aging up within another 5 to 8 minutes of the game. Just remember keep on gathering resources as well as build more villages and some of War Academies but for War Academies please don’t over-do or else you will ended up lack of space and woods to do something else.

Age III

Use Repelling Volley, Confucius gift and Territorial Combats and Acupuncture cards. Those cards will make your later built banner army stronger and train faster. Use those 1000 food from Summer Palace to aging up. Keep on hunting, foraging and mining. Concentrate the villagers more on this therefore you will aging up faster but leave 10 wood cutters and 4 builders. You must create more villages and war academies too. Aging up with Confucius Academy or should you plan to summon Flying Crow from home city cards then use White Pagoda. This tactics enable you to aging up within 3 to 5 minutes from age III to age IV. Should you play with blockade home city too then you must train your banner army too but not over do. Just keep your enemy from blockade you from your home city cards.

Age IV

Use Manchu Combats and Western Reform cards. This time concentrate to gather food and coins for faster aging up. Leave the woods with the Russian Factory together with some of your wood cutters. Now is the time to build castles and train some of War Junk should you fight also on the sea. Keep on gathering resources and train your villagers until you get 80 of them. Place them like this; 20 for woods and 60 for food and gold, when the mining and hunting is up then created 6 rice paddies at this time. Don’t waste time but research all the upgrades of food and coins gathering from rice paddies. Place 4 rice paddies first for gold and the other 2 for food but remember to switch later on with either both 3 for food and coins or 4 on food and 2 on coins. This truly depends on the situation in which the banner armies that you need the most. You can also summoning the Russian Fort and Block houses while waiting for aging up. This tactic will enable you to gain to age V within 5 to 8 minutes. While you aging up it’s the time to trained your chosen Banner Armies. For navy train your Monitor first, then if your resources good enough started to train Fuchuan. Now you must aging up with the Porcelain Tower.

Age V

Now it’s the time to use Double face armor together with Old Han reform. But before you summoned Old Han Reform, switch consulate from Russian to Germany ASAP after you can get Factory, Blockhouse and Fort. After the Germany is become your consulate ally, train the rest of your banner army ASAP for now you get your cheaper banner army by 30% price tag. Now it is the time to train you Hand Mortars too. Keep on training all of your units until you reach your maximum pop slot (220 or a bit bigger sometimes up to 228 depends on your last training units or banner armies for Chinese). Should you fight near shorelines, keep your ships nearby and not too far from your territory. Pick on wood buttons for Porcelain Tower along with the factory and started to get trickle from Germany consulate started with wood, coin and finally food ASAP. With Confucius gift Card now you can upgrades your land units first then your naval. At this time you will have 20 Hand Mortars, 3 Flying Crows and the rest is your chosen banner armies. After your armies reach maximum, use Old Han Reform card, this card cost you 1000 food. Build 5 castles too this time. Now the treaty nearly ended, but here’s the bonus, your opponent has not yet to upgrade to their imperial units since for doing so unless your opponent is Russian the upgrade cost is too much not mention their price tags too. Mostly your opponents are on their Industrial Age armies. You can march toward their city or use your Keshik or Steppe Rider as spies to seek the opponent movement. In this age build 2 layer of walls surrounding your town will allowed your armies to crush your opponents. Be the first attacker by lining your armies in front of your enemy town. Place Hand Mortars and Flying Crows on bombard stage. The next thing is fubar when the treaty is off.

When in the heat of battles keep on training your units as well as send your home cities card. Goes to military cards with siege damage, siege combats and then siege hit points while in the naval combats keep on defensive until you can get admiralty then you can go offensive since you have more ships or be as offensive as you can with kamikaze attack of your fire ships them bombard and blockade your enemy with your navy. After all military cards called then called the silver mint card as well as refrigerator card should your enemy can fight with you long enough. Create 2 new villagers to go to the heat of battles to created war academies nearby the enemy stronghold as well as castle with extended fortification card. Therefore you can either summon your home cities card from your new castles or train your Hand Mortar replacement nearby. Keep on pounding your opponent with your artilleries while send your units for fighting the enemy units. On this stage I shall send Forbidden, Standard, Ming and Territorial Armies. Iron Flail and Steppe Rider for fighting range and light infantries, Meteor Hammer for artilleries especially mortars and some of infantries, Qiang together with Steppe Rider can handle building with siege damage while Chang Dao, Keshik and Qiang fight against heavy cavalry. Chu Ko Nu and Arquebusier can nip at the heavy infantries, Musketeer, range Cavalries as well as villagers, keep on doing that untie you can subdue their forces or else you’re toast. When the enemy was subdue then send more Standard army as moving siege units while some of Territorial or Old Han armies slaughtering all the rest of the remaining of the enemy military units. Let these armies within range of Hand Mortars for anti-artillery covers. Let lose all of your military units but Hand Mortars and Flying Crows. Use these 2 for cover up your other units as well as pounding the enemy buildings and units. Destroy the artillery foundry building, then goes to the fort or vice versa, towers or castles, then to stable, corrals, war hut, barrack with your artilleries. Send hordes of Steppe Riders and some of Hand Mortars against the Town Center.

China op?

destzz — Wed, 10 Apr 2013 21:10:23 GMT

I have decently started to play as China in treaty and it seems very op.

Units are decent(old han OP), but the economy seems infinite.

What can enemy do against China?

China's only weakness seems to be lack of good anticav(that doesnt cost wood)

As long China has war academies up it can pretty much just spam units and eco keeps rising.

Solid Frech/Port build orders needed

Mailam — Wed, 24 Apr 2013 03:11:24 GMT

Hey, latley I have been searching throughout the threads both old and new that cover French and port booms (40 min) in order to find a SOLID build order. Don't get me wrong, I have found some booms created by great players that get me 2300-2500 scores consistantly. However, all of these booms are being said to be inefficient and weak due to claims that people can "easily" score in the 2500-3000 point range IN multiplayer. If these claims are valid. If a person can somehow "easily" score so freakishly high agenst other players I want to know how. Latley I have been using metis's French boom (is old) and that boom I realize is receiving most of the "ineffective" accusations. In short, I want to see a build order (french or port) that is so stream line and so perfect that it can "easily" score 2500 to 3000 points. Thank you.
