Attacko's Four Chariot Defense

The theory is based on the adage "four then war" referring to number of cities on a standard fractal map with events on and barbarians on as anything else is a sub par limited game for the dull.

in this gambit, tech to animal husbandry and build four chariots prominantly displayed
(multiplayer) -garrisoned in the cities.

this negates axe and archer rushes from the get go but more importantly you can have a mini stack in a move or two for sea borne chariot raids or kills.

counter attack is the name of the game in a good defense and such a build is optimal
utilizing the term "economy of moves"

however- word of warning- you will be vulnerable to ship attack if anyone else is in the game with a naval bent.

No facts? At least this is a superior strategy, right?

Fact- Sea People- the sworn enemies of chariot defended civs

Fact- Sea People- they too have 2 move capabilities but with sword

Fact - Early civ- Chariot Elite strongest possible unit of era

Fact- Four City Civ- earliest decent sized empire that can call itself a civ


chariot to archer rather than archer to chariot

chariot to spear rather than bronze working to animal hubandry

the four chariot defense- for the counter attacking master

Yes sea people chariot raids are best pre 1000BC . At 1000BC should be aiming for amphibious Elephants for invincibility

2008- Grand nationals

derik47 (babylon) attacked by Geraxehead, Lurot the magnificent, and jummy3000,
league members (i think u get a hat if u join this league thing)

at any rate derik47- uses the 4 chariot defense against the Spearo khan attack from the three would be invaders.

derik47 1- league- nuth'n

the evidence is clear
