Fucking annoying

[tandler]

As i've been developing ideas for THE MOST ANNOYING strategies ever... (because we know we love to piss people off) The Iriquios have a huge potential for ass-hole-ism , I just thought of another one. An Iriquios teamed with a spanish could theoretically take down an enemy towncenter before 3 minutes. A spanish can have 5 war dogs to attack villes and the team explorer bonus increases the hero siege... now if you add in the iriquis card to make the hero have x14 against buildings... a town center is basicly fucked... and come to think of it... you could probably have 3 iriquios who do that and fuck towncenters or 3 spanish who build 15 war dogs (or even get the card to increase the war dog + heros effectiveness) or you can always balance it 2/2 which is basicly the most fucking annoying strat i've thought of so far. SO... you know, your opinion and if at the next ages party you want to try it in a 4v4... it could be interesting... haha

The war dog strat sure is annoying, but it's probably more crippling to the Spanish player than his opponents. Food is hard to come by until age II, or at least until you are aging up, and it hardly seems worth it to sacrifice peasant production for it. A food treasure might help that out. Peasants also kill wardogs 1v1, and they'd just have to run to a TC which will be close that early in the game when HP is low.

As for the Iroquois, the siege thing for the explorer doesn't occur until the second age, and it's already too late then. It would take the explorer forever to actually beat it, especially since the opponents explorer could probably kill him before then. Second age cards are pretty valuable so I think it would only be worthwhile in the 1st age.

It might have some potential with a slingshot but again, you would have to prove that you are actually hurting them more than you are hurting yourself. Test the strat against a hard or expert comp. I won't doubt it if you can prove that it's effective... but until then, you're on your own.

Lol, its most fucking annoying (when i do it), when i just do stuff normally and kinda send the card on the side, and put hte explorer in the back of his base and just kill houses everyonce in a while

Tim and I actually lost to a guy who used this strat against us last night, however, yo cant credit it to him. We played on Carolina and he aged up at 1:21 and send the card ASAP. He built No vills and instead supported his explorer with 5 tomahawks that arrived right as I was about to age up. However, my war cheif was there with three animals and a peasant in my TC... and we actually KILLED his explorer before he got my TC, it was about 3/4 dead. I didn't have enough wood to repair it, and then his tomahawks arrived. I killed all of those with my explorer and animals and TC too... but at the last INSTANT they were alive, he WC was revived and killed my TC less than 5 seconds before I had him dead again. However, Tim slung me 600 wood and I was on my way again. My score was even with his because he had no vills and no resources. However, Tim's supporting my cost him a bit, and the other Dutch player was JUST able to outboom him by a bit. We also lost some map control which was the real killer in the end.

If you are attacked by this super-explorer backed up by a few tomahawks, it is easy to stop.
1) See it coming. An early age up will tell you this!
2) Use you WC and converted animals OR minutemen! You should have at least some gold, and you ally can sling you the rest
3) Use you peasants, they will be able to kill him before he gets you TC. If the Toms weaken them, send them in the TC to fire
4) Keep building vills to add to your TC attack.
5) If you do lose your TC, don't panic. It has probably cost him MORE. Rebuild it, and get an army ASAP to fuck him.
6) Block MrLehey. He is a faggot and was obnoxious about the win even though his ally was the real reason we lost.
