Hidan 1887 boom

Using some things I learned from an old clanmate and brett, I testdrove this boom. Here's attempt 1 (of 1).


Score updated on the 3 and 8 instead of 5 and 0 for whatever reason.
Comments? Criticism?

Good distribution.

Might want to get a speed card out before 40 though.

i dont think dutch need a speed card out before 40 there army is that big even if u go down to 160 pop doesnt make much difference. i been using ductha little latley on a smurf and i use all eco cards before i get fast train card

I get out infantry trainspeed to use fast training halbs to quick-block cav, but I usually send that after the first battle, as I prefer AA before 40. I don't really use a lot of cav with Dutch and when I do, I can wait a few seconds to get Hussar/Ruyter, which works well enough with 150 pop of army.

Then I usually do the coin cards right after Duelling School unless I'm smashing my opponent.

Admittedly, I've only played Dutch on smurfs lately, so I'm sure there's bits I can refine in my fighting, but boom-wise I'm always pretty good, I'll watch this later and comment.

you want a no wood trade record i have. its so close to 2k and the resources are like 20-5-45.

20-5-45? yeah, that's a lot of resources, but I would prefer my distribution (i'm about to switch wood villes to coin anyways). Besides, I have 27, 29, 10, which adds up to 66k (more like 67k with the rest of the res). 66 isn't that much lower than 70

i looked at it again today to make sure but it was more like 30-5-35 no trading. all upgrades done. not just the units to be used.

ok, I like that better

or it would look alot better if i only upgraded skirms,halb,carbs,hussar, 1 of the 2 cannons, culvs,morts to imperial.

so basicly no grenaders, no field guns. so you can cut out some stuff and bring eco to a very high level. not in the sense that you arent upgrading it for more eco. the vills are able to just stay gatherting vs chopping wood earlier which is huge for dutch.
