Heh, I've done this myself.

Comments:

Third dock is unnecessary. You won't be able to feed the wood to three docks anyway to take advantage of production ability.

My personal card order when doing this:

3 villagers
Schooners
700 wood
700 food
700 gold
(go to Fortress)
Spahi
2 Falconets

Up to you from here.

Thanks for your input ender, althogh I think 700 wood would be better sent first as you can do three things with it, save it for when schooners arrives, start producing boats with it, build a market and trade it if you need it.

Sending Shooners second allows you to start booming earlier on a single dock, then add another one when 700 wood arrives.

why use the exiled prince?

faster age 3 so you can get the most powerful units out faster

edit: I also edited my card line up but its still 700 wood first ender this worked for me. I outboomed a port but only narrowly because I ran out of things to fish and there wernt many wales so I only made like 24 boats.

Talking 'bout fishing, normally how many fishing boats do you build? I often tend to train too many.

yeah it gets annoying when you have all these idle villagers and you're trying to own someone. By that time if i haven't won. i have lots of resources anyway and i delete the boats for more military pop.

Schooners owns!

I use my first 2 to search the water for how many wales then I train how many wales there are x 4 so after you've fished the ocean to death you can put all your boats on wales as they are infinite and just have plenty of vills on mills and wood.

I'm hoping this gets advertised on the front page if stonewall notices it

This is what happens when I use my version of this

One really shouldn't let an Ottoman keep water. Already having all your boats on whales when the other guy is forced to build plantations is definitely nice.

indeed it is, ender I added you on eso next time your on I'll discuss decks etc with you k

where do the badgers fit in?

Erm *runs*

it was just a funny title I had in my head when I posted this lol

Sounds great, anyone of you got a record game of doing it?

by that time i could allready have rushed you...

what by 5 minutes, anyway I'll try get a recording tonight. I always forget about that.

@ Yoshii: But nobody rushes ottomans. Not even Russia, and they're the most avid rusher. A german FF isn't a pure rush, btw.

He also already mentionned raiding with jans, that'll make him too nervous to rush if you pull it off right.

Sounds cool! I love this type of "feint" maneuver. I'd also love to see a recorded game.

I rush ottos with Russians.

Cossacks+strelets easily beats abus+jans because of the spam effect.

I got a record game against a n00b because I was bored so i picked on the first guy who showed up. I'll try get a good record game soon. but for now I can show these stat things if it helps.

All 3 links are broken.

You fail!

damn, try copy and pasting them mist.

That was quite lame, only in one did you actually make any boats.

In the second stat page, you actually had LESS settlers than your opponent, but your opponent, I suppose, sucked at eco management, because he had way less resources than you.

All 3 opponents weren't so great.

Maybe get some better stat pages?

wait I realise what I did I used this strat on yucatan not carolina, and I know the oponents suck I take whoever comes because its so hard to get a game

I'll just show this one as this is the good one

a russian tried to rush me but then a done a FF and got spahi out so when he attacked with 23 strelets i have 4 hussar(from age up) and then shortly after 5 spahi and well spahi>skrelets and cossacks, then he started to make cav counters but then i had fort and and better eco than him and the spahi even owned his cav counters seeing as he was still in age 2.

hehe spahi own, probably the best unit in the game really, only thing that can beat not in mass are black riders and even thats with micro.

Oh yeah i forgot most heavy inf mercs can beat em but spahi can just run away from melee ones.
