I dont know about you guys, but I find the Natives far stronger than the Europeans. In short, the natives can outrush the ottos (with fast age up, and discovery war huts) and outboom the british (with the insane dance). Aside from agents, the European civs cant really compete with this. The whole balance concept with the rush is that if you can defend the rush for long enough you will out eco your opponent. This is simply not the case. The natives can rush early and as hard as they want, and then just start booming away (still in colonial, while most Euros need to go to fortress to boom). In a natives vs. European game it seems that the native will always be in control of the game. It just seems a little unfair that such good rushers should have such a good boom. Any thoughts?

depend as aztec i has no problem with this but other native may. wen u have constant fighting and too few priest to make the attack dance worth it, just do the priest dance. so slow down ur vil production and open a path if u lost the colonial fighting even wen u lost the fight always try to get like at least 10 troops + 6 warrior spawn from the firepit u will be fine. u have 3 warrior priest card that's equal 6 vil dancing , very gud card assume u fighting for 5 mn, then wen u retreat u will have 8 warrior priest dancing u can set them do gift dance 8xp/sec to get shipment rebuild eco/defend blah balh. i think native takes more efforts than the european civ to play due to time spend to micro the firepit( i feel stressful wen play native, i guess just coz i have to do more work :S). ah by the way i find it's difficult to anti otto as aztec , someone give me a tip ?i only had one game vs otto though and was not conceantrate but still i get no answer for janies + abus

Are you kidding me??? Falcs shouldnt be much of a problem for any of the natives. The sioux have rifle riders. The aztec have those AMAZING flaming bows. Hell , flaming bows ALONE could easily maul this "unstopable" European army. I dont know about the Iriqious, but I'm sure that there is some way for them to easily counter falcs. (since ES made sure to make the natives the best boomers and best rushers, Im sure they wouldnt do something so short-sighted as ruin the Natives' dominance by making them vulnerable to somethign stupid likes falcs)
