Suvorov my Heart

Ello all,

Pr: 17; Played 2k games. 5 with this strat. Over 30 Russia games at least.

With friends I have played with Suvorovs Reforms and I am curious about the card.

I have some questions to ask the crowd and see what people think of it. In team games I can go strelets early pretty easily.

At age 2: 13 on food, 3 on wood and 400 wood from aging and ship 700 wood. Build two blockhouses securing hunts and wall with houses. Make streletes upon strelets only pausing to have 10-15 musks for cav defense. I can defend or rush with these guys. Then I can send boyars and the two sets of cav and make 6 more to have 15 cossacks and 60 strelets.

After this massing I just fight and save to age and replace strelets as necessary. Age with 17 stre or 5 cossacks and ship the two cannons.

I notice that because of the mass of troops and in base blockhouses I have a pretty good protected eco. I try to fast age to 4 - get Mercantilism and ship the two sets of heavy cannons and Suvorov's reforms.

By this I storm the enemy with 120 musks, 4 heavy cannons, 2 horse artillery, and a bunch of cossacks at the 16 min mark.

If Im able to send the fort card I will then make forts with the musks and keep the spam going.

This really hurts them and I can send factory from all the fighting xp.

My questions stem from Deck choices. I will post the deck pic later tonight but after 4 wins here are my struggles:

• When to send Suvorov? - Crazy good luck where the opponent sees 40 streletes - makes 20 hussar in retaliation and then sees 80 musks 6 min later.

• Very Shipment focused. I need to get a TP or just really take treasures and fight and raid more.

• Ransack good? I just use artillery for buildings and if you have won a battle ur infantry are already burning buildings - does it help much? As russia you also have oprichniks so not sure.

• Should I have strelet cards in the deck? Any way to improve musketeer hitpoints? Is advanced arsenal worth it?

• I know this may not be perfect for Top level play but man does it smash the meta. It stops the 50 ashi/musk/jan attacks in 9 min dead in its tracks. Strelets are mad upgradable/cost efficient. Early game it crushes any player from going mass goons. Im able to rush and crush France before Imp gendarme. Dutch ruyters spam is useless.

• While Suvorov doubles the hp of the unit (Stre to musk) am I losing something? Are strelets much better than musks? I love that also the mass of musks defend artillery well.

What do people think? What would you change or what card must I have?
