right now i use spain or germany and i generally rush
some times i boom
i like the Lancer and Uhlan
i generally rush to age 3 and then attack so sometimes i am left open during
the start of the game
my resources generally come from trading routes so i have to control and protect them a lot
i always make trading posts at the tribal villages for extra units
my favourite map is unknown

1)dutch
2)i'm a Netherlands soccer team fan
3)MY strategy is to build up a super strong economy base, capture most of the trade routes, keep them, then crush opponents one by one
4)anything that is green and blue

britain
first make a good defense(a good defense is always a good offense) and collect resources
then slowly slowly attack my enemy
