    If your oponent has european civilization, you can be in colonial age faster than him if you

    chose ages up faster (exept if he is Turk). In adition, you can also build free war hut with travois as close to his TC as possible already in age 1, without having to send villagers so far. That gives you some time, when you have a small army (like 5 aenna), but he has no military. Even if they don't kill many villagers, they will slow down enemys economy, because his villagers will have to run or fight instead of gathering resources.


    A person with good tactics can never defeat a person who knows the principles of tactics.

    This is what I use to the letter:

    Opening moves (all of step 1 can be done during lag time when the game begins):

    1)  3 vills to heard 2 on crates, WC to where you thing enemy TC is (very important to know the map and general placement) and travois close behind WC build travois as close to enemy TC as possible. THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT ASPECT select warhut as gather point

    2)  Once done with crates., and this is the beauty of this rush, build one house and then every vill goes to food either hunting or berries When possible click on the existing heard and use waypoints for other heards on the map so that you can focus on Micromanaging rush

    3) select the 3 vill card

    4) Advance with 13 total pop using messenger option (fast and 1 travois) (time depends on map and starting resources) and use that travois to build house and yes it will be by your warhut

    5) You should hit second card either before or shortly after you hit colonial take the 7 Aenna Card or 4 Horse (Horse for the French and Dutch)

    6) As soon as you hit 500 food (don't build any villagers) hit big button Tommahawks in your TC

    7)  Use all food after that to build Aenna (start building when you have 100 food and click additional units when u have more food.  This is a much faster way to produce)  You still have plenty of troop cards available (6 Tomahawk, 6 Aenna, 4 Riders) and click on enemy TC so that they immediately head to the battle.  Hit your enemy as sson as you have 12 Aenna and 5 Tomahawk + WC and any converted Gaurdians and constantly send renforcements from forward Warhut

    What are the Problems?:

    Problem civs are Dutch(Skirmishers waste aenna), Portugese (2 TC and usualy using Colonial Militia), and the Sioux

    Big problem with this rush is if the opponent (which will usually happen at MSgt and above) builds towers or sends his villagers to all corners of the map)  If this happens you must hault your rush immediately and use that force as a strong raiding party.  Turn your attention to building a firepit and racng to Fortress Age to build 3 Great Houses and this will only come with a bit of practice.  This rush should own 90% of opponents up to MSgt and even works on 2nd and even 1st Lieutenants.

    You know something is wrong when you can beat people 10 ranks above you just by using a build order.  *cough*OP*cough*

    To both gentlemen above, its not just following a build order.  There are things you need to do when micromanaging the rush ie. doing all steps above flawlessly and not forgetting anything, taking down towers early on but knowing when to pull back, how many troops to split off to chase fleeing villies, what troop cards to get depending on opponent, what treasure guardians to go after, careful placement of travois, remembering to use Eagle Eye shot ect ect.  I'm not saying its rocket science, but I have played against several failed Iroquois rush strats.  If you don't do everything perfectly its very difficult to pull off.  It took me about 10 game against the CPU to get it down to a science.  The same could be said though for the Otto rush and Russian rush.  If done to perfection those are difficult rushes to stop.  Additionally this is the responce to all complainers about Great House and the Town Dance.  This strat isn't the lame part of the Iroquois and it is rarely used.  It does take some practice and if it was that easy then overall Iroquis win % would be alot higher then 54%  I made it sound easy because I'm giving advice.  Furthermore, this isn't a thread to complain about Iroquois it is a thread to lend a hand to a player asking for advice.  Keep the (very legitimate) "OP" crap to threads dedicated to it.
