There is a new strategy on the market and it is the Ottoman Fast Industrial (or for those of you from the days of the Power Play, a revival).
Snoopy explains every detail very neatly, from villager placement to what the enemy is thinking;
At this point, you're looking to work very fast. You want to know where your enemy is, and if he knows what you're up to. If he's in fortress, look for an artillery foundry.
Once you get to industrial, and have the bombards and first spaih, the game is up to you. You can boom, revolt or do anything. This is where experience comes into play.
Wow! I didn't expect this to hit the news! Thanks!
