I have noticed that the MInutemen can be very useful in super-early raiding during my games. Having 6 Minutemen (The exact number of them need to kill a regular unuograded villager) within 1 minute of the game means that you can kill one of their villager at around 1:30! I can usually manage two by simply firing the volley and running like hell, thus avoiding the enemy even knowing how I did that. The true beauty of this is that no one and I mena no one even will suspect this. If I have 100 gold from crates at the beginning I will always put my villagers on mining and murder one or two of their vills early... It then gives you an immediate economic advantage, especially if you kill three or even four gives you such a huge eco advantage that you pretty much already have the win. Even if you only kill one of their villagers but force them to spend time early in the game garrisoning or killing your minutemen still gives you an eco advantage. I use them virtually every game if it is not against a frenchman because even if tehy try to train Minutemen too then you can just raid wherever theier minutemen aren't. If you play French don't use this OP strat, as you already simply take advantage of the OPness of the French so don't.
The RoL forum colors make me sooo hungry.
