*edit* There may be more things to look out for but these are the main ones I think. Feel free to add more if you think of any I missed. Honestly, booming is possible in this game. Just don't think I am not only a rush player, I have had fun playing as portugal and had decent success with them booming even against fairly good opponents. My problem with portugal booming is more a problem with the civ being weak than booming not being viable. There aren't many replays of people booming so I will try and play a few games as portugal and try to get you a good replay of me doing a boom against a rusher. Hopefully one that i win, lol.
