The Dumbest Strat Ever
1. Put your first 6 vills on food.
2. Don't make any vills.
3. Try to find some food treasures with your explorer. Find their hunting vills.
4. If done right, start advancing at 1:30.
5. As soon as you advance (3:00) you should have two shipments. Get the pikes and rodaleros. Put all of the hunting vills on wood until you can build a house, subsequent vills go to wood (they go back to food once the house is built).
6. The pikes should come in by 3:30. Send them almost to the enemy town.
7. The rodaleros will come out 30 seconds later. Send them towards the enemy town.
8. If the enemy hits colonial, start scouting around his TC to find his first shipment. If it's an outpost wagon, follow it and bring in your pikes. You should be able to take it down before he can get it up.
9. If you found the hunting vills, attack them with your rodaleros. Make sure that you shift click on each vill in the group, and do it in such a way that the first vill is the closest, and the last vill you click is the farthest. This will make them all focus on each vill, so you will take more down before they can get to the TC. If they are a few screens away you can probably take all of them down, and you just got GG.
10. Keep scouting. If you see a barracks coming up take it down with your pikes. Rodaleros kill villagers surprisingly well, and they are much faster than them.
11. Build a barracks when you have enough wood. Start training pikes. Shift some vills onto food by now if you need to.
12. Attack their TC with the pikes and rodaleros.
The beautiful thing about this strat is that you don't need a better economy at all. You can have a way crappier economy than them because you get to Colonial at 3 minutes and get 14 or whatever free units. This will work against anyone who isn't prepared for it. The beauty is that they can't turtle because your pikes will decimate their outposts (and you probably will be able to take them down before they even come up!), and if they garrison the vills in the TC just move out for about 5 or 6 seconds and come back in. By the time you've lost enough pikes/rodaleros for it to actually start to matter your economy has caught up to theirs and probably surpassed it. It doesn't work as well against the French or the Ottos because they don't need to make any vills to advance either, they are automatic. I would only really try it on a French or Otto noob.
