It appears as though Patrick got beat today by an otto today that pulled a fast industrial in 14 and a half minutes. Holy Shit. How can an otto player do that? Simple... the ottoman boat boom! Many people revere about the portuguese boat boom but that has to be the most useless civ to do it with. They already have too many TCs! Why not get the slow moving otto economy going with a boat boom. They start with extra wood. And with schooners and some resource shipments, they can create "peasants" faster than anyone can with their TC. It allows them to keep building vills nonstop and reach the industral age in record time. With the unique chuch + 2 bombard shipment + 30 jans and a few spahis... I don't see how ANYONE could beat that in 15 minutes? The boat boom was designed for the OTTOS! And it can do some good.
