French 2rax Xbow/Pike

Lance Corporal Posts : 114 Join date : 2009-10-19

This strategy is a Colonial rush mostly used against civs like Japan and Ottos. Your goal is to have a stabilized economy with 2 barracks pumping out x-bows and pikemen.

- Make 14 cbd's all on hunt's first card you are going to use is 3 cbd.
(+)- Scout for treasures, FB, and always herd your hunts.

- Once you have 14 cbd's and 800 food age up with the Quartermaster politician (400 wood)
TRANSITION- put 5 cbd's on wood 2 cbd's at your FB spot chopping wood and make 2 houses.

- Once aged get either 700 wood card or 8 x-bow and make 2 rax's at your FB. Que. about 3-4 cbd's and make 10 xbows.

Wait till your oppenet attacks you, or if he is FFing go all out pikes and destroy him.
You now have a good economy, still pumping out xbows and pikes, and should be making even more cbd's.

If your enemy bakes Light-Inf be sure to put about 5 cbd's on gold make a stable and pump out hussars.

If you havn't killed your enemy yet get the 700 gold card and switch to have about 10 vills on gold and age up.
French win in the Fortress Age lol, Mass Cursaiers.

Card Order:
3 vill
700 wood
4 vills
700 gold or 3 hussars

Skirm and Cursaier cards.

Enjoy this strategy!

What rank are you? Because most people that've done this to me and won are like 2nd LTs. Seems pretty stable...I'm sure it could do really well vs most civs pirat

French is pretty fluent once you know a basic BO, you can get into a Semi-FF or Boom anytime in the game.

Guest

If you want to FF use the Spanish, Ottomans, or Germans.

Guest

Lance Corporal Posts : 114 Join date : 2009-10-19

Guest

Ottomans and Ports are the best civs for FFing really.
