French Musket Rush

1. Send 4 of your first 6 coureurs immediately to the nearest huntable. Send the remaining two coureurs to start unpacking your food crates, and do the shift-right click on ONLY the food crates to make sure they unpack those first.
2. Send your native scout and your explorer to explore the map. Be on the lookout for WOOD treasures first, these are the most important as wood gathers the slowest of all resources. Plus, if you can pull this off right, you won't even need much wood. If wood treasures are not available or are guarded by powerful creatures try to find a gold or food treasure guarded by 3 wolves. The more experience you can get quickly the better.
3. As soon as you have the 120 food required to make another coureur, press T and then V to queue one up, and send one of the crate unpackers to hunting. Shift-click on all of the remaining crates with your remaining vill, press e and then hold shift to build a house, and then hold shift and click the deer your other guys are hunting. This will make that vill unpack, build a house, and go to the deer automatically.
4. Everyone should go to food. By the time your explorer is too weak to get anymore treasures, you should send him to wait and watch near one of the enemies' closest trading posts. Hopefully you can get one up in Colonial before they can, or if not, at least take their second one so they can't get two.
5. Your indian scout should be scouting in a circle around the enemies' base. Try to find far out hunting vills, or wood vills that are far enough from the TC to raid effectively.
6. By the time you have 11 vill pop (including the 2 or 3 that will still be in queue at this time) you should get your first shipment. Pick the 2 coureur card (or 3 if you are lvl10+).
7. The coureurs should come out while your last vill is being made, and if timed right you will have the 800 food either halfway before the vill is done or maybe a few seconds after. It's ok to have a few seconds of idle TC time with the french, their econ more than makes up for it. Age up with the 500 wood option.
8. The next few steps will depend heavily on what treasures you found. If you found enough wood to support building 3 more houses, then have one vill build those 3 houses and then send him to a hunting spot nearby the enemy TC. Put 3 or 4 of your food vills on gold and leave them there. Give them a control group so you can easily find them again, you will need them as soon as you hit colonial.
8a. If you were not able to find enough wood treasures, than put 5 vills on wood and build a house everytime you get the 100 wood necessary until you have built 3. Then, send all of the woodies to gold. This should happen no later than 3/4 of the way to advancement.
9. Before you hit Colonial you will have between 700 and 900 food. I usually queue up 5 coureurs in the TC and set the gatherpoint to a nearby wood. This way you will start producing vills as soon as you hit colonial.
10. As soon as you hit colonial, send your gold vills to unpack the 500 wood crate. Shift click on the crate and then shift click back on the mine so that there is no idle time. Then get your 8xbow shipment.
11. As soon as you have 250 wood (shouldn't take more than 4 seconds) have your lone vill hunting near the enemy base build a barracks. When you get the next 250 wood, have your explorer build a trading post, preferrably right near the enemy.
12. Your xbows should arrive right as your barracks is finishing. Give them a control group and send them to the barracks. Select your barracks and queue up 10 muskets (you should have enough resources...if not queue up 5 and however many else and keep adding one each time you get enough resources until you have 10 queued).
13. Your xbows will arrive near the barracks right as your first group of muskets is popping out. Wait until the second group pops out, and queue some more if you can. If you are running low on food but have plenty of gold, send your gold villies to food and set the TC gather point to gold. You really only need about 5 or 6 vills on wood at the beginning, so you should be thinking about switching to more food production anyway.
14. Give the muskets a different control group, and advance your now 18 man strong army towards any enemy vills. A group of 10 muskets and 8 xbows will wreak TOTAL HAVOC on vills if they are microed. He will lose 3 or 4 even if he manages to garrison them in the TC.
15. What you do now depends on what he has done. Since most people aren't really expecting a viable french rush other than the native rush, it can be really devastating. If you hit him before he can mass an effective army, or if his first mil card is Uhlans/Hussars, your muskets can take them out without even getting scathed. If you can defeat his first army with minimal losses, start taking down his TC.
16. Keep in mind that the whole time you are doing this, you are constantly creating vills, and constantly creating more musketeers to swarm his base. If you don't win outright you will need to build a stable and start training a few hussars in case he can get to fortress, while also preparing to hit Fortress ASAP. Also, putting more vills on wood at this point would be a good idea. The musketeer rush loses it's effect by Fortress when one falconet can take down a group of them. But, of course, if you do it right and he can't hit Fortress before you, GG.

Optional Cards:

These are the cards I use for this strategy in the order I use them.

2 coureur
8 xbows
2 outpost wagons (I set the outposts up around my forward barracks in case it is attacked)
furrier

I usually save the rest of my cards for Fortress.
Or I will play the card that makes your Coureur's stronger if he is raiding any. The 2 surgeon card can also help, especially against someone almost as skilled or equal to you.
