I have a possible adaptation for the Sioux pistolero rush, i attempted to post on the coresponding strat page but failed for some reason.
This variation depends on map type for various reasons mainly starting crates.
::Cards::
1~ 300 Gold
2~ Pistolero
3~ 700 Wood or 7 War Club
~Discovery~
Put 4 of your 5 villies on food, the other to gather crates. Que villies to food until you have 8-9 on food,create 2-3 villies to gather 200 gold and send first shipment (300 gold). Build fire-pit and create 2 villies to dance, and move villies gathering gold to wood. Advance in age with Chief politician.
~Transition~
send 1 villie from food to create a forward war-hut, once built make that villie gather wood.
~Colonial~
Send Pistolero card and begin raid on enemy tc (accompany pistoleros with WC. Set fire-pit to warrior damage dance(if thats its name) and set forward barracks to hc gather point. Begin creating war clubs, depending on your wood situation send either 700 wood card or send 7 war clubs. I have used this rush effectively a multitude of times.
~I'm open to any suggestions on refining this adaptation of the strategy and would like to hear how other players fair using it.
