German Semi-Fast Fortress

GERMAN SEMI-FAST FORTRESS

The most orthodox German strategy. This takes advantage of all of the German perks; great cavalry raids, excellent age 3 shipments, and, of course, those settler wagons.

Discovery Age I

Your start depends your crates!

-200w start = build a tp and chop wood for a house

-100w & 100g start = build a market, gather 75c & 50w, get hunting dogs & buy 100w for a house

-100w(RIP) = build a house 

FIRST CARD: 2 Settler Wagons

AGE UP: With 17 vill population, THE QUARTERMASTER - 400w 

Transition I-II

-Put all Settler Wagons on Wood (if you don’t have a trade post, add some villagers on wood and get your trade post first)

-Once you have a trading post, you then want to build a market, research hunting dogs & placer mines, and build 1 house (you may have some of this done depending on your wood start 

-After you have all of these completed, put your villagers on food and your settler wagons on coin

Colonial Age II

Second Card: 3 Settler Wagons

Third Card: 700 Wood

Fourth Card: 700 Coin

-Gather 400w and make 2 more houses and a stable from 400w

-Make 5 Uhlan

-Gather 700w

This next portion depends on 1v1 vs team game:

-If you are in a 1v1, build a barracks, and 2-3 houses. You can grab another market upgrade like Steel Traps if needed.

OR 

-If you are in a team game, build 3-4 houses. You can grab another trade post if desired, market upgrades, or save for your vetted Uhlan upgrade for your age

-Make 2-3 more batches of Uhlans depending on how quickly you need to age. For team games, it could be more helpful to have more cav on the battlefield for raids and such

AGE UP: If you have time THE MARKSMAN - 6 SKIRMISHERS is great for infantry heavy opponents, otherwise age with THE EXILED PRINCE - FAST AGE UP

Transition II-III

-Start another Uhlan Batch

-Put a few villagers on wood as needed - (you will need to get vetted uhlans & more houses depending on how you used your wood age 2)

-Majority of villagers on coin, some on food

-This is a great time to focus on raiding your opponent/grab any high value treasures if there is easy access!

Fortress Age III

-Send needed shipments (8&7 skirm is great for 1v1, cav combat or 1000 wood for houses/upgrades could be great in a team game)

-Research Veteran Uhlans

-If you want Merc Shipments, move trained villagers to coin!

-Enjoy!
