They seem like they have an disavantage economy wise. Farms gather less than mills (I was told). It seems as if it takes 30 seconds longer to get 800 food than European civs. I had created settlers non stop and it took me 17 minutes to get my score past 100. When a noob rushed with muskeeters (i was hoping xbows) my aztec rod lookin guys got killed so easily. Usually as a european civ i could take that, but yet it took so long for my native civ to recoup that lost. Any tips????

Farms gather slower but remember that they get better upgrades for it, at least I think so.
Also they don't move around like mills so it's about the same speed.

Natives have way better economies than the Europeans. The native fertility boom is WAY better than the british manor boom.

Native economies arent that bad.
As Sioux I am constantly raiding my opponent keeping his villiger count below mine. Towards the the middle of the game you can put on ten or more villigers on the fire pit and spawn villigars and outboom a portuguese player.
I would tend to agree that really late game economys may not be quite as good as the European equivelants, but units like rifle riders and upgraded axe riders make up for.

Wait, you sent coyote runners into their direct counter? Please step away from your computer and proceed to slap yourself silly.

Nah i went to raid. I saw hordes of muskeeters. I dont like running. In the manual it says Coyote Runner counters infantry. They slaughter all light infantry. Soo... HI counters rods looking dude. I'll note that down.
Wierd. I just figured an awesome strategy. 12 minute 99 settlers with 30 coyote runners, pumas, and slingers made. 60 at 7 or 8 minutes.
I would do regular strat. Build fire pit and have priest on it. Age up 18 settlers with fast age up. Then I'd swtich 13 to wood. When i just aged que settlers. Send 600 food (im under 10 civ)Build a house. 15 seconds later a war hut. Switch 3 settlers from wood to food. I ship 5 runners. I make 5 more runners or slingers. AFter that i ship 4 settlers. Put them on coin +2 from wood. Make pumas. More soldiers. I should have 30 settlers right now. Now that i have a surplus of wood (from 4 minutes of 10 settler gathering) I can make more houses. I switch all put 2 wood peoples on fire dance. As i get fertility I que up settlers. First one on food. Next on Coin. Next on dance. You might think im crazy, but i had al 25 settlers. I just beat bake a sioux calvary rush and i have 80 settlers or around. This was around 16 minutes because i was testing. If i get my HC i wanna see how fast i can boom.

Eh sorry for coming off a little bit harsh. You probably should've kept on raiding, sent the 10 slingers, hit'n'run him with them while spamming them from the warhut.

Cool, I admire your bravery, though I should note that my name isn't based off the television character, it is based off a misogynist from another forum who flames everyone.
