AoE3

Okay, this may get a little technical, so If you don't play AoE3 Or any of them you probably won' understand.

YOu may not understand if you DO play AoE3

Act 1: Making a Navy
Okay, I was playing a game on Amazonia (a large River separates the teams, in this case 2 teams) as the French against the Ottomans and the Brits (Ot & Br from now on). I decided to "boom", basically put all my villies on Wood and oin and produce mass #'s of Fishing ships. It worked OK, It wouldn't work too well againts a human player, but thats OK.

I had at the peak about 20 fishing ships and 12 villies, 6 on wood, 5 on coin, one on food. Unfortunatley, they build two Forts right next to each other on the bank of the river directly across from my dock (na therefore fishing fleet) Thats a problem. So I used my Galleon(L'Insurgente)(See? It was a Good ship! I remembered the Random Name!) (delivered from La Rochelle (HC)) to take out haf of one of the fort's Hit Points while it was being built. Then I ran. Fast.

So after a Boring upgrade to the Industrial age, I got a monitor and destroyed the Forts.

Act 2: Navy vs. Navy
Of course, the Br & Ot's got the bright Idea to build a Navy... So did I. After a quick scuffle where they lost a Galley (Ot) and a Carvarel (Br.) to my Frigate, they stopped making ships. Temporarily. I took out their Docks with my Monitors (2) and then put a Frigate (Horace, yes that was the name) where they built the docks. I must have killed 25 villies and 27 docks within 30 minutes. I mean, they were putting them down in the SAME SPOT TIME AFTER TIME. I got bored, and tried to find wood production. I found it and killed another 30 villies (Ot, so they were all free for them).

Then the y had another Navy. I quickly pumped out 2 more Frigates and a Galleon and A Carvarel. That didn't last them very long. I decided to put another Frigate where their docks were. By the time I had removed the third dock, the Army had noticed the Navy was a problem. Ever seen An Abus gn take out a ship? its really sad. And It happened to me. :-(

Act 3: Navy vs. Army

This was NOT a fair fight. This was all over a small section of land that the enemy didn;t really need, and I didn't want. I just didn't want them to have it. It also happened to have the last living fish in the Amazon River, which I WANTED. I pumped out my NINE (yes 9! Admirality! YEAH!) Carvarells, and got my fishing ships into the range of their guns. I got maybe 800 food (2.5 fish) and they had sunk 18 fishing ships! AAH! So then I put Carvarells to fish the remaining 1.5 They got about until .75 of a fish was left. then the Ots Got out Cannon. Cannon vs. Boat isn't a fight. Its like shooting a bowl of jello, and expecting the jello to be whole.

Monitors took care of the Cannon... ;-) All 6 at once. Finaly the fish was used, and so I pumped out 20 Villies and made a Mill Or two. Economy back under control, I needed to take them out Once and for all.

Act 4: Army + Navy Vs. Town

Obviously I won, becasue he wh controls the river always wins. Kinda hard to kill me when you can't touch me, Huh?

I never had more than 75 troops at once.( Not counting ships). Pretty sweet. Of course, they were Imperial Volteguirs, Imperial Musketeers, Imperial Field Guns, Etc. Etc.

I put L'Insurgente (Galleon, remember?) with another Galleon and started to pump out troops. n their half of the world. I made 20 Halberdiers and 30 Skirmishers, and waited. My Monitors took out their town Centers from afar, and I was set.

My troops tan in and took out half of the Brits. Then they ran away with 15 Skirmishers and 3 Halberdiers. I retrained the rest of the unit unitl it was 29 Halberdiers and 30 Skirmishers again, and cleaned out the Brits and about half of the Ottomans. then I said screw it and ran in with 25 troops to conqueror the battle!

Okay, that was a fun game. And its all true!

Even if the French are hairy and rude, They are sweet!

Anyway,
