well most FF's are pretty vulnerable to rushes.
and psh a dutch petard true FF can beat a spanish FF. So i mean i wouldnt call it a top strategy :P.
It all depends on what you favor,
rush- otto IOR (in asians, not TWC, iro BB rushes are stronger, because otto rushes are dead so all ottos can do is FF)
Colonial boom- Brits/ports being brits/ports
Aggresive FF- Spanish FF
Eco FF- 3 bank ff (4 only in twc, not even asians)
Turtle FF- Stadhouder FF, one of the only beast explorer cards
Colonial turtle- Ports w/ colonial militia
Just my opinion, but i am a not a skilled player by any means. If somebody else corrects me take their advice over mine :P
1st Leiut. with Russia , Master Sergeant with everything else.
My skill level is incalculable!!! Its been forever since I played seriously...
