I was wonding if any of you guys that live at ESO (pcups and punkybruster) have experienced any early rushes. In my post a few weeks ago, I mentioned 43 janissaries in 8:43. Boorules60 made 30 pikemen in 7 minutes. Any body else got anything hot they want to share? What's happening online?

A few weeks ago I was playing a level 20 portuguese who came at me with 10 organ guns and 8 or so hussars in 9 minutes but when I fought him off he started crying and quit. Well, maybe not the crying part, but it was still funny. D, you won't believe what Partick and I are going to come at you with next time! Only kidding... we have to think of something else new!

i can have 6 lancers 2 cannons and 10 skirmishers and 14 pikemen at 9 minutes. That will take care of any rush but its mostly a deffensive move.
An ottoman guy tried to rush me like, a really quick rush with 11 jannisaries, when he did i was already half way to the 3rd age. And he went for my tower instead of my TC. So i got the 6 lancers out before he even started attacking my TC. So i killed that group then he came at me with 20 jannisaries and by that time i had 2 cannons 4 lancers and a fort right next to my TC.
He quit.

I have a neat british alternative economy rush. At 16:30 i send all of my peasants (65) to your base and get all of your resources. Then you cant build any armies.

Patrick and I would love you to hold off until 16:30, then our double mercenary rush DEFINATELY wouldn't fail. Ooops

^hahahah
i would probably be in the 4th age tim with all of my mercenaries, i dont really need resources anyway. I had about 13 peasants including settler wagons the last game i played with the germans and still won.
And yes double mercenaries vs 65 peasants... hahahah

I will compliment you on your creative thinking or your sense of humor, but think about minutemen. Also settlers were made to make cookies - especially highly productive french ones. If it hadn't slowed Tim's economy so much, Tim and I had deveoped a 4:30, 10 unit native american rush. It wouldn't destroy a town center, but it sure would raise havoc with with someones development. By the time an ally got there to help, 40 janissaries would attack the helping ally's unattended town. Could have been devastating. Both of you would be crippled.

I just (like 2 min. ago) got early rushed by a russian with 10 janisaries and 5 horses. That was like 5:00 in the game...I had just reached II age and could do nothing against it. It really pissed me off.

Actually D, the 3 hussars beat the minute men, hence why I had them... and the 10 pesents can beat but to 15 normal peansets if the person has no towers and I am far away from his TC. If I leave 3-4 of MY peasents behind, thats enough to keep the food supply for more peasents.
