AGE1

Ship TEAM Market as 1st card. Do it as soon as possible. Need an average 3.6 settlers mining in age 1and build up to 12/13 settlers depending on treasure and timing. Age up when the settlers collect 800 food. 4 Settlers keep mining, others collect only food when aging up. Choose 400 wood option. Build 2 houses with any wood you have in the beginning. Look for xp treasures if possible.

AGE2

Boom up eco first. Ship 700 wood crate/ Upgrade hunting lv2. Use mining settlers to build banks and gather crates. Build 3 banks using 400 wood+700 wood. Collect 500 coin crate sent by ottoman. Ship bank wagon. Build the 4th bank. Put 5settlers back to mining if ottoman didnt send 500 coin. XP awards should allow you to ship 600 wood crate very soon. Use all of them to build houses and age 3.

AGE2/3

Depending on enemy reaction, make skirmishers or ruyters. 

In case of defending enemy rush with teammates, make skirmisher using 2 barracks shipped by ottoman. 4 vil to wood and build houses for pop. Stay in age 2 and trade pieces with the opponent while having 3/4 banks gives you an advantage.

If the enemy tries to boom or raid, go to age 3 and make ruyters. If your team have an temporal military advantage, age 4 directly by shipping 1000 food as 1st card in age 3. Build bank to limit and upgrade logging while aging 4.
