Does anyone have any ideas on how to rush with...

1. Germans
2. Ports
3. Indians
4. Iroquois.

Ive played French and Japanese to death, so I fancy something new. Any ideas?

well i play as iroquio but im only a private

what i do is spam travoise from my town centre and biuld a very tight and compact city

then if im under attack i use the spawn warrior dance at the fire pit.

then i sent shipments of gold and try to boom to the next age.

hope this helps

if u wanna play me online my user is benny808 i enjoy treaties but play ever type of match

For India, I suggest you try the 10/10 strat.

For Germany, here's a strat I came up myself:

1. Gather all crates with 2 Settler Wagons, one goes to herd Hunts.
   
2. Once you've gathered crates, get 1 SW to build a house and the other goes to kill another animal. Put the Builder on the newly dead animal once done.
3. Put all new settlers on food. Train 4-5 Settlers whilst sending over 2 SWs.
4. Once at 800 Food, age up with the Quartermaster (400 wood, if not 500 Food politician) and put 4 SWs on wood. One goes forward to make a FB, and another builds a market (for the vital Wood upgrade).
   
5. Once aged, get 1 SW to gather (or food. If food, put more Vills on Wood than on food) The FB SW builds a FB. All new villies to wood.
6. Your second card should be 9 XBows + 2 Uhlans. Uhlans go raiding straight away, and move your XBows to your FB. Que up 5 Xbows, and when you have enough, 5 pikes. If you can build a second barracks to make units faster. You should have around 20 Xbows and 10 Pikes by the 7-minute mark (yeah I know this isn't great but yeah)
7. Attack, whilst still making Xbows/Pikes + Cav from HC
   
8. Next card is 3 SW, which go to coin (so eventually you can age)
9. Win.

I hope this works, it does for me, and I'm a MS. Not that great, but to get you to MS/Lieut its an Ok strat.
