Great battle I had with another portuguese player. It's a little long, but if you could tell me how I can improve, it would be much appreciated. Thanks
1. Dont build Mills until you had used all the safe food available (ie, there were bisson walking around you mill..heh).
2. Use Cows, they increase your Food store very fast, even though you didnt need food, its worth while to use the cows before Mills.
3. Use all Mines before making plantations. There were lots of safe mines available (including one right beside it..heh)when your first plantation went up.
I don't play ports, so I may be wrong in saying dont bother going for IV age until you will use the/can afford the upgrades and Mortars.
Nice placements of your TC :)
4. Scout more often, this wasnt a fast game, you could of found some of this distant workers (event though he didnt have any, most players would have taken control of more of the map)
5. At one point you had over 4k wood/food, you could have used the natives :), they spawn fast and dont cost gold, thus you could have really used taken advantage of them.
with all your wood, you could have taken at least one trading post ;)
