Guide To Sioux Outlaw Defense Strategy.

RE Patch

Author: Spaceman221294 (PR29 2056 ELO, max PR29 &2277 ELO).
My main civ was ottoman but I have been playing sioux for over a year as my buddy Elite_Penguin used to play them and tell me loads of stuff.

Introduction

The Sioux unit "Bow Rider" available in age 2 is a very powerful unit, is pretty strong vs all units and is very good for raiding villagers fast from a distance combined with the Sioux War Chief the Bow Rider are ultimate raiders.

The 10 Pistolero Outlaws available in age 2 are a strong unit and only 500 gold.

The Deck

The deck is the same as from my other guides just exchanging the 15 Buffalo for 10 Pistoleros, you can change the 3 bears to 7 war clubs I personally prefer the bears but its up to you.

Useful Techniques

"Picking off units"

When your base is attacked and you have a mass of Bow Rider but maybe not enough of there is a counter unit involved send in your bow rider with the cheif kill a unit and back out, every unit you kill will help, you might need to use this if you are waiting on a unit shipment like the 4 Axe Rider, 3 Bears or even the 6 Cetan Bowmen.

"Safety Unit Training"

You will see me using this technique in the record game provided when I was trying to get up to Age 3. Alot of the time with sioux you will need to defend from civs and you will need to get to Age 3 but there is some risk involved and you leave yourself open to attack I very rarely straight FF, I recommend making some BR first however when you get to the stage where you know you need to go to Age 3 you will queue 1 Bow Rider and when the Bow Rider is almost trained you will cancel it this is a safety technique because if you are rushed instead of cancelling the Bow Rider you can queue the other 4 and have a bigger mass and a stronger force of Bow Rider if you are not attacked you just cancel it and you lose no resources.

The Build Order

Discovery Age

All villagers collect food crates when you get your first 100 food train a villager and put 4 villagers into the town center and eject them onto the nearest hunt. Collect only the food crates with the remaining villager leave wood/gold crates.

Your War Chief should be scouting the map and collected treasures mainly look for Food and Wood treasures but coin treasures are also useful. On some maps such as Great Plains you wil often start off with 2 unguarded coin treasures send your chief into your opponent base straight away and try steal these treasures before your opponents explorer can reach them. then scout around his base to see where his hunts are and return back to your base to get your coin treasure.

Your 1st card is 3 villagers.

Age up with The 500 food politician with 15 villagers.

Transition

Shift 6 villagers needed to get 200 wood by the time you age, put 9 villagers on gold once you gathered 200 wood shift them to food. Queue a villager. Once you collect 575 coin shift your villagers so you have 9 food and 6 on gold and new villagers to food.

Colonial Age

Send 10 pistolero and 2 villagers build a stable to start making bow riders.

All new villagers to food.

Queue Bow Rider you should get 5 Bow Riders the 1st batch and between 3 - 5 in the future batches until you have a stronger economy, once you have 12 villagers on food put your new villagers onto gold until you have 10.

Your 3rd card depends on the situation if the outlaw was not enought to defend you may need to send 4 axe rider or 6 cetan depending on the unit your opponent has if you defended the hard rush then you can send 4 villagers.

When deciding to go to Age 3 try to send 700 wood this is helpful because 400 wood is needed to upgrade your Bow Rider and Axe Rider, 100 wood is needed for a Fire Pit if you do not already have one, the other 200 wood is to make another Corral as you have the economy to be making units from 2 corrals now if you need to make Wakina put 2 vills on wood to get the extra 50 wood while aging.

When going to Age 3 go up with The Wise Woman as you will get Bison and a upgrade making villagers gather food from hunts faster if you are desperate to get up fast use The Messenger.

Other Notes

Always Raid!!! If you have Bow Rider hanging around put pressure on your opponent try get some villagers or keep him off the resources.

The Big Button try to use your Big Button wisely I try to save it till around 15 minute mark when I'm in Age 3 and combined with the 3 Dog Soldier card from hc I will have 8 Dog Soldiers which with the Fire Pit are OP.

The Fire Pit is good for Reviving your War Chief always have him revived he is very important. Attack Dance, Siege Dance, Xp Dance, Also in Age 3 with sioux with 3 Town Centers you can max out on villagers in a couple of minutes with the fertility dance.

Mix in Axe Rider if you need them.

Try to spread your villagers over the map because if you are rushed you can have villagers spread out on gold mines to keep getting resources.

This strategy is good vs aztec and iroquois it may work well vs japan is they do a ashi club rush which can be hard for just bow rider alone to handle.

Good Luck when using this strategy.

Record Game

Sorry I do not have one I uninstalled the game which wiped all my record games.

Ahhh very good this is the strat I've been doing heaps recently vs lamers and its worked 80% of the time.

However I do actually go with axe for the first batch, rather than BR. The reason I do this is because this strat really fruits up your eco, but you get a nice military that can break even or destroy a lame rush. The reason I use axe is to ensure the opponent can not run away, and my outlaws can pound the poopie out of them. Especially vs Iro Axes are much better since their army is more immobile and if they sneak in an Aenna shipment you can seriously hurt them.

I can also provide you with a rec of it that I did last week if you want. It beats some India 10/10 liut colonel nub.

Infact thats a good point as vs aztec a mass of mace could cause problems.

Why would you go age3 moment you age up if you are getting rushed?

Ok now other people have commented i feel safe to comment.

First once again this is another nicely written guide im glad you shared.

Second, dont those mercs take alittle too long to ship if you re vs a very fast rush? In that time couldnt you have a significant mass of BR anyway? For instance the 2 corral strat, surely in the time you have the mercs and your first batch of BR you could have 10 BR and a stronger eco?

Are the mercs really worth it? (Im not too sure of their stats btw ^_^ )

If you ship them straight away there should be ready same time as your 5 Bow Rider or Axe Rider if you choose to make them and I would never want to go double BR vs an aztec or iro just because they have big shipments of mace/aenna and will have puma or tomo massed aswell. Like you will notice if you want to win most of the time you only need to read one guide and thats just standard BR lol.
