This has been said one way or antoher before, but "comprehensively":
No FF, dopples are too expensive and ineffective against most players.
your best friends will be xbows, followed by some sort of meatshield. VariationL That xbox card sounds perfect for you. Make sure that you are raiding his eco and use and protect your xbows effectively. Also age up ASAP if you aren't already. ie. you don't need gold to age up do you? Go all food, then switch over to ther resources needed. Perhaps you will use the hussar or gold crate when you do instead??? If your going to use that crossbox card, you can cut down on your woodies, don't waste time building a market.
Time!!!! Age up quick!! Garrison where needed, you dont want to lose these guys. Scout well and you can stick a decent amount of villagers off ot the side (like your hunters if possible but whoever) have some closeby to garrison quick to beef up your TC and so your side building mentioned below is not obvious.
One Good tactic against abus: Build a stables LOS away from base on the side (along with some gathering villagers in general for good measure) Ideally build your stables to the side. When he rushes. TC flip out with xbox army that will just buy time (let your uhlan dance around and frustrate him) dance around with your hero too and help focus fire when possible or help set up chokepoints to protect your xbows (you will have to find a building placement that works for you in this respect - think ahead). and have the unexpected horsies attack from behind, abus melt like butter, and often all of them before they realize what hit them. Then take your horses and off to raiding. If no abus, then jsut think chokepint, don't use horsies in melee vs. Janns. If they are setting up to melee - run. For those not set to melee, you can often get in a good hit and then run off. Rememebr your buying time, because time is on your side. Thats why he is coming at you so FAST. Put yourself in his shoes, play with them if you like, see/think what would f u up.
Make sure that your outpost is close enough that your TC can fire on the troops attacking your outpost. Another tactic is hotkey both your TC and tower (good idea re: hk from Ceres) to help your xbows(I keep spelling them as xbox!) focus fire that much better.
Abus suck vs. buildings, xbows are what will for you - very effective against the Jann only rusher or when you have x'd out abus threat. Ideally raid so that he can't keep pouring troops on you.
If you effectively micro your xbows, garrison right, & counter the abus right then your completely fine and they are out tons of resources, and since their villagers are so few, knocking out only a tiny bit makes their econ ever crappier. Remember you can afford to garrison a few villis as that is all he has anyway. German vs Ottoman, very good exchange horsy for every villi. use effectively, but dont' be afraid to lose them. WATCH them raid. Often the Ottoman won't have tower in base or in a good spot. Or watch a recorded game of someone else doing if my style is too different or has been iffective for you. People counter Excellent Otto rushes all the time now - in more then any one way. For example - natives. A completely different strat that works very well where possible.
Arguing on the Internet is like competing in the Special Olympics. Even if you win, you're still retarded.
