Okay I've won my first 4 games on Vanilla using quick search doing just this. As I face harder opponents there is no question I will have to adapt to harder opponents.
This is for 1v1 supremacy.
Discovery Age
1. scout easy treasures and opponent's TC
2. Send 300 wood as first card
3. Build a blockhouse
4.
5. Age with 14 settlers. First 11 go hunting, by the time the 3 other ones spawn you should have close to 800 food so I send them on mines.
6. Choose the wood politician
Colonial Age:
On most maps I get here by 5:15
1. By the start of colonial age, I have another card I can choose, and the blockhouse is already built.
2. IMMEDIATELY que 15 musketeers
3. Choose the 5 cossack card
4. Use the cossacks to harass enemy settlers
5. When the 2nd batch of musketeers spawns, I usually have another card I can pick.
6. Choose 4 cossacks. Send them along with the 15 musks to finish off the opponent.
7. Continue settler production.
Is 5:15 too slow age up? Against people my rank it works. But I played someone else in game browser in TAD(Captain playing as British) and he aged up one full minute before me and had outposts set up ready to counter my attack and a crapload of xbows.
