Hausa natural resources only tutorial

 In this tutorial I am going to explain how to play Hausa in a very reliable way.

Alliances


Age II

In Age II you age up with Berbers. You can make a few more villagers that gather faster from natural resources. Also in the long term you get to make Berber camel riders that are good against cavalry and you can send 10000 gold salt mine over and over. The salt mine is gathered slower but you can send shipments that increase gold gathering.


Age III

In Age III you age up with Hausa. You get to make Kingdom builders for 400 influence. The first two kingdom builders you can make into Town Centers and then place a University and Palace near them.


Usually you place the Town Centers to a gold mine or a trading post.
Later you can even research two technologies from the university that lets you build towers with kingdom builder. Vision on the map is very valuable in the middle and later stages of the game.



Age IV

In Age IV you can age up with Fulani to increase the influence generation further. You can build 3-4  markets with Hausa builder or with a settler. Then you make goats. You also get to improve the Fulani archers if you are using them.
Alternatively you can age up with Akan, for some native units and one time technology that ships 5000 gold mine and increases gold gathering by 10%.






Age V

In Age V you can age up with Yoruba for the extra native units. You will have a lot of influence generation and these units don't cost population and get an automatic upgrades.

Alternatively you can age up with the British for the heavy cannons but they are pretty slow to make, slow to move and cost population. With the British you also get an arsenal building with the basic arsenal technologies in it.





The Deck




Order of shipments:

Age I

1. 3 villagers
2. Pulaaku code(15% natural resources gather rate increase)

Age II

1. University of Timbuktu (1 university that researches faster)
2. Palace of Amina (1 palace and some influence tokens)

Crossing festival, Silversmith or Gaananci.

You can send any of these according to the way the game is going. At this point you might be pressured with some early attacks so you should have some army ready.

Age III

1. 8 cattle +1 livestock market
2. Suya skwers (35% gather rate on cattle and hunts
3. Massina Madhrasas(30% gold and wood gather near Universities.)
4.Hadejia Emirate(Cheaper and faster upgrades for Raiders and Lifidi Knights)

Age IV 

1. Habanaya (A very strong shipment that grants 5000 influence on average if you have 20 cattle. You can buy artillery, mercenaries or natives)
The order of the rest of the shipments is whatever the game requires.


Army Composition



Hausa has some excellent units at their disposal. The standard army is Lifidi Knight and Natives with some Field guns or mortars. Alternatively you can switch to a Javelin riders and Fulani Archers if the opponent is using too much Hand or Range cavalry.

Another great thing about Hausa is that you get most of your units produced from one building and their upgrades grouped together (Lifidi and Raider share upgrades and Javelin Riders and Fulani Archers).

The other boost that the Hausa get is that the native warriors and artillery get upgraded automatically every time you age and this gives you a huge incentive to age up as early as possible and take advantage of this.

Alternatively you can put shipments for Maigadi and build them as a core unit. Maigadi get's automatically upgraded with every Age up as well.

General Strategy

So what is the general idea of this deck?

With this deck you focus on gathering only natural resources and expanding your base quickly in Age 3
with Kingdom builders
.
The weakness is if you get pressured too much in Age 2 but once you set up your "Kingdoms" (TC, University, Palace, Trade post) it becomes significantly easier to build units and push.
The Kingdom builders and Hausa builders are great. Using wagons to expand is much more quicker.

The ability to exchange cattle for gold or wood is also one of the strong abilities of this civilization.

Also you can technically use only natural resources for a good amount of time since you can send 10000 gold over and over and you can gather the cattle when needed for food.

You can afford to have your units over the map since you have a shipment and a technology that increases the health of villagers.

 In this tutorial I am going to explain the way I play USA USA can be played in many funs ways. This civilization is good at booming and expanding. It is also very good at securing vision on the map which can be a huge advantage in team games. Federal State Age II Pennsylvania is the federal state to get to Age II. You get a free church shipment and 3 technologies in the church. A gold trickle, skirmishers and light cavalry that cost food. The other shipment is a native embassy and alliance with the Cree natives. You can make Cree Courier des Bois as well as use the Cree technologies that reduce the cost of wagons from the Capitol building. Usually I send the church shipment first. Age III Age III you choose Kentucky. You get 2 fast gathering gold mines and a shipment that sends skirmishers for every other shipment you have sent in the game. You can use this fast gold to start making gatling guns. You can also go for Indiana for a free Age-up but it can be very slow. Age IV Age IV you

Spanish Fast Fortress Falconet Spam

      In this tutorial, I am going to explain how to play the Spanish in a very cheesy way. It is a fun strategy but it is not very fun to be on the receiving end of. This strategy works best on maps where there are many mines with 5000 and 10000 gold and also on maps with Berber natives, where you can train a Berber Salt Camel for 200 wood, which constructs a gold mine with 10000 gold that you can place in your base or somewhere safe, but is mined 30% slower. In this strategy, you are somewhat vulnerable to a rush. Of course, you are always vulnerable to a well-planned rush, however, you can build some units to protect yourself in Age II from a rush that is not well prepared. Politicians The Philosopher Prince Age II. You get 500 food which can be useful for aging up. The Bishop Age III. You get a covered wagon. This will help with training villagers and utilizing marvelous year shipment better. The Engineer Age IV. You get two falconets. El Presidente, The General, The Mercenary Cont

China Fast Fortress Tutorial

 In this tutorial, I am going to explain a good way to play the Chinese from my own experience. Like the other two Asian civilizations (Japanese and Indians), the Chinese can train villagers while aging up. So don't forget to keep training villagers while you build your wonder. Wonders This is the order of wonders to age up: Summer Palace: Generates Banner Armies automatically. The first wonder you build is Summer Palace. It generates banner armies for free and gives 400 food. This will help you to build a small force to defend early in the game. The 400 food is useful to advance to Age III. The next wonder is the Temple of Heaven: Which casts the Transcendence ability to heal your units. You get a town center for free which will help you to maximize the number of your villagers. The third wonder is the Porcelain Tower which Generates resources automatically. And the Final is the Confucian Academy which Generates Flying Crow artillery.
