My quick strat for portugese: :box:
Put all vills on food and build one house...

You can either:

Send 300 food and advance or create more vills and advance. You should have 1 shipment in age 2. Choose for 700 gold, with 500 food (from DISCOVERY to COLONIAL) use to create few vills and advance to age 3. CHOOSE 7 CASSADORES, by the time u get to age 3. You should have another Shimpent and get 9 CASSADORES (you need lvl 10 HC+)
and you have 16 cassadores. Keepmaking vills A LOT, you have 3 TCs.. weaken enemy.

this strat has proven effective most of the time.....

My Strat for German :box:

This is a good boom strat, especially good for no rush games or u can slightly modify it so its a great rush strat too, and i call it the Economy rush:
at the start i make 11 villies and ship in 2 settler wagons so i have 9 vilies on food, 4 on wood.
when i advance, i make vilies constantly, most of which go to gold and wood.
i then advance to the third age asap and start the real gaming, because of my settler spamming, ill be in my shoulders in resources so in the centre of the map, i make a military base with 1 fort, 2 tc's, 6 stables (the cheaper stables card helps out) 6 barracks and 3 artillary foundry's) and i start spammin villies with all my tc's.
when i reach 50...55 vilies i stop and focus on putting my villies at 40% food, 40% gold and 20% wood.
at this time, usually 30:00mins sometimes 22:00 mins. i start my perfect army. because germans don't have many ranged units, unless its a early rush, i usually make ( all of these r fully upgraded) 20 skirmishes, 20 war wagons, 20 uhlans and 10 mortars.
i have anti-cav, anti-inf, anti- artillary,(which i usually park behind the opponents army, and anti-buildings, these mortars can take out a fort b4 u can blink.
when i arrive at age 4, shuld have been a while ago, i ship in dual forts, which can make resources at 6,600 BEFORE thr upgrades, in ten minutes, so its the same as 22 villies working on wood. usually i have enough resources, over ten thousand of each, so i set them to making heavy cannons.
this strat is perfect for the boomer, rusher (the economy is powerfull enought to power 20 dopples and 20 crossbowmen byt 10 minutes, and the turtler, because u have enough resources for defence.

yes but most dont have level 25 + hc
so for germans i suggest

going to age 2 fast as possible
Next
if your being attacked make towers + doppel then advance
or
get to age 3 asap
Next
Age to age 4 for improved doppel/skirm then mass those units
or
Pump out doppel + skirms in age 3 and try to over whelm your oppenet

Ps. German Players need a good eco
Pss.Never for get art for backup of your men
Psss. Send vil wagons in begining and in the end when you have extra cards but dont need mili THESE vils wagons rock your eco

so ur telling me u can pump out 20 doppels when they cost 2400 gold altogether and you can still get third age with enough barracks to pump them out fast enough. and 1000 wood and food. all of this in 10 MIN!!!!!! I dont know.... thats like saying you can pump ot two merc shipments and 20 bows and have barracks. I think you could barely make it... only if u did everything as FAST as you possibly could, i mean like you cant even scratch nose or look away from the screen or tye a word.

yea as porto u need the 300 food crate then keep everyone on food but 2 on wood and 2 on gold

get ur second tc on a near by gold mine then ship the 700 gold crateget fortrest at about 8 mins u should get 7 cassador polition then get the 9 cassador, or 6 dragoon card then get fort and organ guns( from siege place)
then get mamalukes and ronin as mercs keep him pressured though alwasy be raiding or attacking, but boom also.

You should get the Treaty of Tordesailles as fast as you can. Get the bestieros upgrade, and a combination of bestieros/dragoons or organ/bestieros/halbardiers are hard to beat (bestieros contrary to popular belief, are the best ranged unit in the game)

*Bestieros are crossbowmen, renamed 'bestiero' and have increased stats. As well as getting a shipment of them, all your other xbows become bestieros as well.



Organ guns are also one of the best artillery in the game. They can only be beaten by culverins, as they easily outmass most other things.
