Hello i am here to share this funny tactic of the iroquois:

This strategy utilizes the "invisibility" mode of native scouts:

Card 1: 3 villagers

Card 2 & 3 advanced native scouts(+200%HP +50% attack) OR military unit shipment(Vice versa)

Card 4:  700 food(for army) or 700 wood(for tradepost/houses)

Card 5: 5 villagers and then whatever you need after 5th card.

You age up with 14 villagers (5 start + 3 crates + 6 trained) and you send the Advanced native scout card, while your army is fighting off his army(distracting), you can swoop in with your invisible scouts and raid villagers, this will cause your opponent to lose confidence in leaving villagers outside of their town center and you can win by draining your opponent.

This works only if you have an army big/strong enough to impose a distraction.

~This post was inspired by StrategicJoeL

Best part of this strategy is that its cross-compatible with the other native American civilizations.

Edit: with Aztec, you can do invisible coyotes or the scouts (coyotes cost wood scouts only food your choice) with sioux, the only invisible unit they get are Tashunke prowlers, so better to have invisible guys in age 2 than age 3...

Also: in order for this to work you should kill the enemy's explorer.

How obvious is it that StrategicJoeL = skhsri ... geez man, you can't even get self-masturbation in a forum correct.

StrategicJoeL:

iro was already OP, with invisible raids now it is absolutely undefeatable!

(sigh) now Ryz0n has no excuse but to make a patch to nerf iro

Ashi with an long range attack of power 34 on age 2 easyly destroy your plan! Beside Iro got 600 ressource shipment not 700 like mentionned in first post.

Further, it's efficient but doesn't think you can say that's a reliable tactic in every case.

I've read a tactic like this 1year ago on this forum. Scout suck! Cnt make villies while making scout. For the price of a scout you can get and aenna.

For sure it's a new way of playing but isn't enough good.

i have too read the old scout tactic, there is some replays too

i am just adding the missing part

in age 2 build a tp on natives settlment, this will enable embassy for irq

now u can can train scout from embassy instead of tc , so villegers production will not stop

How obvious is it that your mouth needs cleaning.
