Part 1: Boom, boom, boom (until Imperial)
Age 1:
    Gather all starting ress and start getting treasures with your explorer
    Compared to sup: Dont only gather food in age 1. Get enough ress, to get market upgrades (food, wood and gold) and tp (if you can build one) get: Market (and market upgrades), Trade posts on a trade route, dock (and start fishing) (on a map with water)
    Build up your eco, you dont have to rush to get to age 2. Be late to Age 2 and fast to age 3.
    After Clicking up, adjust so you can click up to age 3 soon after hitting age 2. All to food and gold (ageup to age 3 costs 1200 f, 1000g)

Age 2 to early Age 4 :

Click up to age 3 with fast age up or with covered wagon. Send back your explorer so you can start building tc right away.
    gather enough wood so you have 3 tcs (500 if you age up with covered wagon, 1000 if not). Use your explorer to build tc's.
    Once you have enough wood, split your vills. Gather mostly food, some gold and a bit of wood for houses.
    you want to allways have 3 tc production. Get up to age 4 as quickly as possible, without idling your tcs
    Age up 4 politician: Crates, economy, long term upgrades
    Once you reach Age 4: send factories as soon as possible

Late Age 4 to Age 5

Stay on natural ressources as long as possible and click up to age 5 as soon as you can (without idling your tc).
    once you clicked up, split your vills evenly. start getting a mill and a estate for upgrades. Slowly transition to mills and estates.
    A good age 5 time is usually at around 17-20 mins (depending on civ and map)
    In age 5: Get the capitol economy upgrades early
    If you havent allready, put your facts on wood

Card Progression:
Only send cards, which benefit you immediatly (economic theory, royal coin mint, refrigeration, factories)

Part 2: Build your Empire
Build a Church (if you havent allready, you might also build it sooner for the xp trickle) and a arsenal and get all the upgrades
Start building walls and start building your military buildings (Usually 4-5 barracks, 2 foundry, 3 stables per "base")
Get upgrades of units you want to do.
Cards you want to get before treaty ends:

Economic cards (mill + estate), Advanced Arsenal, Advanced Church, Fencing School, Riding School.
    You want to get the economic upgrades early, so you start out with more ress after treaty.
    You can make the argument to delay the Economic cards until after the treaty ends and send your unit upgrades first, so your first fights are better for you and you get more map control. But yeah, the meta is to send the economic cards first.

Until minute 35-38: get all uprades, all military buildings and walls up.
After that:

start getting an army until you hit 199 pop. Do overpopping techniques (send a unit shipment at 199 pop, send natives, use the advanced church/big buttons).
    Send your army somewhere where you want to apply pressure and get Vills there so you can build a forward base.
    Send Vills around the map (to later build walls and forward bases)
    Find enemy vills and place units near them, so they cant make forward bases/walls

Part 3: Destroy your Enemies:
Try to win the first fight and build forward base. Continue to pressure there
At places on the map, where no fighting is happening: Make walls, bases, forts (fort card), etc. Get control of the natives and the trade route.
Try to deny the enemy from getting the sides of the map.
Take better fights, take the map and try to clean up the enemy economy

Army Composition:
skirm / goon / canon
Musk / hussar/ canon
If pushing: Make mortars and other canons.
when defending: make horse artillery and culvs and ranged units, as the enemy generally cant get close

Your winning conditions:
1) you break through to the enemy Economy and wipe it (no more ress = no more units)
2) you take better fights (He will run out of ress, then he doesnt have enough units to stop you, and you meet winning condition one)
3) you take all the map, then you will take better fights (more natives, more ress) and then you win by winning condition two

Civs:
Worst civs: Dutch, haudenoga, lakota
Best civs: French, ports, swede

Decks:
Your deck consists of:
Unit upgrades, economy upgrades, factories, a endless card, endless natives, some good building upgrades (i personally like: 1 fort, increased hp, increased building limit for outposts)
