What should I do? D:

Normally when I play sioux I try a SEAR or bow rider varient(at least an axe rider semi FF, always with the raiding) but in some games, they build a big nasty wall.

This then becomes even worse as they can put artillery/dragoons behind those walls, and out range me, while Im stuck seiging the walls, even with full fire pit seige dance it takes me ages to bring down a wall =(

I'd try to raid them very hard early on(so they can't really build the wall/lose a lot of villies doing so) but if they turtle, I find I normally lose.

Also, if they have built their base well for micro early on, I can't raid them very well as cav gets stuck with the pathfinding issues. (especially against japan, they build those cherry orchards next to the TC, and I can't kill any villies.)

I was thinking, more late game cards in my deck, take some of the rush ones out, such as new ways and the teepee cards, then try to stop them building walls at all :p

Any more ideas?

You have to put New ways card into your deck and purchase the "Pillage" tech from the teepee.

Use your siege dance with 25 villies dancing. it gives +225% siege.

Dog solgiers are best for sieging, but any unit you have is going to have mega high siege while they are dancing... Even your villies, if your dealing with tower fire.  You can upgrade villie attack at the market, and there is an age 4 card that gives +200% attack. Villies take very little damage from tower fire.

I have actually sieged down an opponents town with villies while siege dancing at the fire pit. I only do it when I know he can't really do much to stop me. 

If your dealing with goons you need to use Clubs or Native scouts

1) Don't SEAR vs Japan.

2) Use axes for sieging - 100+ siege in age 3.
