Yet ANOTHER game where I overboom and get in all heaps of trouble. I really have to learn to control myself!
Anyway without even looking at Oceanwave's deck I assume he will lakota rush me, so i prepare for this by building a TP on my nearby Lakota site and sending the natives card to defend.
When i notice he doesn't build on his nearby lakota I realise he must be going for an FF and I check his cards and they strongly suggested an FF so I decide to use my Lakota shipment to raid him. He VERY luckly/skillfully hid his gold villies as my lakota's searched for them in vain. (had i found them the game would have ended immediately)
He gets to fortress and ships skirms and dragoons and kills of my natives easily. Then he comes into my base with 2 cannons, 8 black riders and about 20 skirms against my... 40 villagers!
Additional Comments:
Very instructive how you can actually build all around the map and still have an economy strong enough to counter attack effectively.
