I saw a successful 2v2 strat where one player FF'd with Delaware for the Coffee Mill Guns but their first age 3 card was Russian Immigrants. Pretty interesting use of the cheaper ageup to 2 and 300f crates, and a good excuse to mention that Russian Immigrants pairs pretty well with the Tennessee Outpost + State Militia card. If you just have the 2 Blockhouses up you get 2 Outposts + 40 pop space + 8 State Militia (not that the guy in the 2v2 used that strat but just that it's decent synergy).
@@bisongaming729 Hey I just had a couple more thoughts after finishing the video and testing some things: Maryland Oyster Pirates affects Steamers as well as Sloops (though Steamers are super expensive so I know why you didn't mention them). Indiana Mobilization also boosts tech research speed as well as ageup time and ORDER MATTERS! If you ship this on it's own it'll reduce ageup time by 9s, and if you send it before Mammoth Improvement Act then it'll also just reduce it by 9s, but if you ship it after Mammoth then it'll reduce ageup time by 40s! Similar interaction with Statehood tech that reduces ageup time by 50s, you need to ship Mobilization before Statehood or else it'll get a reduced effect (though remember there's no ordered interaction between Mammoth and Statehood anymore ever since the FI nerf). Also same deal with Springfield Armory, if you ship Mobilization before Springfield it'll reduce tech research time by like 3s but if you ship it after Springfield you'll reduce by 11s.
Im fully aware that i made a mistake and the factory costs 250 of each resource, not 500. maryland still blows it out of the water though and i stand by what i said that its the worst age 3
@@saledin-wd2gj haha no, that video would take days and days of research and probably have a 2 hour runtime. While I'm extremely knowledge in this game, memorizing revolts is the one thing beyond me 😂 I have a Chesapeake oyster boom video coming out tomorrow and the day after, showing 2 variants of it, and I'll probably make a build order guide for it the day after that too
Disagree about the useless New Jersey. The 5 second shipments are incredibly useful when doing an age 5 Zouave shipment spam strat, as it reduces the downtime when shipping to almost nothing. Only really useful in Treaty games or when a delay strategy is successful, but still it is something to note.
A great video. Aussie video about it was out of date and down look some states that are good. If possible one about Mexico states? 🤔
"most versitile and unique roster of viable strategies" as Mexico player I have to say that this statement is complete and utter BS
mexico has the most strategy variety, but USA has the most VIABLE strategy variety

I have a FI build that is built around this

@@bisongaming729 Doesn't Oyster Pirates also slightly boost whale gathering rates too?
