2 SW definitely. Should be sent every game as Germans.

Nidhog's idea is pretty good.........it sounds like a good card, but for some strange reason when I tried it it didn't work.

I'd say Schooners or CM. Mabye Fur Trade......I dunno, there are lots of good ones out there, but some pretty bad ones too

Call to arm sucks.

There are a lot of good cards, it depends on the situation.
If i send ATP in Bayou it wont be too usefull, but if send it in Araucania it will.
If i send Schooners in Great Plains it wont be too usefull, but if i send it in Hispaniola it will.

House of bragancia anyone?

but more seriously, the most important card? it depends upon the civ:

spain: 2 falcs
otto: silk road
russia: boyars/church card
france: cureur cards
Germany: 2 SW
Sioux: buffalo cards

et cetra. it really depends upon the age as well as overall useage.

For some cards.

Best card of all time? Agents.

Best non-ridiculous flawed card of all time? Great House

Most essential card? 3 Villagers

I'm sorry, you CANNOT leave out Advanced Scouts. That's my personal fav.

With Indians they rely heavily on those 4 sowars in Colonial for raiding and treasure gathering.

Then the Port's rangefinding, you know, that gives them their famous (in some cases infamous) OP mortars.

Say WHAT, Eicho? I'm sorry, that's effing impossible. That means over 300 pop! I'm sorry, but a card that makes 300 pop should be, like, and Imperial Age Card! That costs another 8000 resources!

Um, if you're addressing Eicho, he didn't say anything that would be "effing impossible". All he said was Call to Arms sucks really...

If you meant alvaro_qc, your maximum possible population isn't increased, just like the Immigration upgrade at Imperial doesn't increase your maximum population by 100.

What I meant is that each village (Chinese house) supports 50 population instead the normal 20 population
