Ok Ive decided to go with the brits.but know I have a few questions.

1. whats a good colonial age up time with the brits ?

2. Is manor boom still a viable base- strat?

3. Where can I find some basic guides/strats ( that actually works) to get me starting?

4. which maps does brits have a advantage over their opponents?

5. TAD cards that are viable to any british strat?

6. On which hc lvl does the brits get 500 food politican card

7. When should u build the market as brits( 1 or 2 age)?

1. about 4:30 is a decent age time though any later and you're too slow

2. You need to manor boom or there's no point playing brits it's their advantage they can boom so fast with manors that they out eco all other civs in colonial and fortress

3.here

4. Andes, All water maps, though they play pretty well on nearly all maps

5. No cards were added in TAD for brits though if you mean twc cards too there are quite a few, offshore support, that whaling card that's definitly a MUST on wall water maps, 3 horse artilerry can be a good substitute to 3 rockets cos they are much better against units than rockets

6. Aging to colonial they get the philosopher prince with 500 food

7. I build right after barracks in age II I have about 5 manors by this time 

1. Yes Phoenixwi is right.

2.Yes it actually is! Its one of the best in the game!

3. You can look around on here or i do have accouple strat. libarary's i found.

4. Basically water maps and is pretty much useful on any map.

5.I dont compare cards so i wouldnt know......

6. actually i age with the outpost wagon and 200 gold if im rushing with them. The outpost can forward units to your FB instead of having to march all the way there and waste time. 500 food if i booming.

7.I build it between aging......Then research the food and wood upgrades. I beleive they increase gathering rates by 10% of each resource you research. Hope this helps you ;P

8. What is a decent fortress age time with brits( not ff)?

9.what should u do with brits in mid-game (around 9- 11 min)?

a) start reaching for industrial age

b) attack

c) something else ( plz tell me what this is)

thx

Hi, I have just uploaded a recorded game here http://www.screenshots.bz/recorded-games/British-v-Japan-nonrated.zip

for you to watch if you like, It was a few days ago and myself I find that most Japan players don't rush your base until around the 9 minute mark. But you need to know if you are or not going to be rushed. I find that if you don't see his hero(s) coming past or close to your town center your in a fair chance that he will not rush you, but that way of knowing does not always work and you could be rushed early if you use this sort of start with your Brits.

Food and wood are the first most important thing in a good start and you will need loads of food in the middle with all market upgrades to pull off a win v a good japan player.

Good luck with your Brits! Hope this helps some.

Alright so ill post my opinion on this:

1. Vs Rush civs: 4:15 - 4:20

    Vs boom civs : 4:40 - 4:45 (meaningthat you make 1 more villager)

2. Well you never pure manor boom..

3. Gamereplays.org + ageofempires HEAVEN forum (search on google)

4. A good player owns the other on any map..

5. You dont get huge new shipments.. the old ones are just ok.

6. Ehh.. 40? I think..

7. In transition (if you're willing to sacrifice your age up manor boom) or in colonial (once 700 wood arrives).

8. Depends on your rush: butit should turn around 11-13 mins

9. c) head prepare aging prior to fortress.
