If you don’t understand the nation design and play the Iroquois as the Portuguese, that’s your mistake. All the Iroquois victories without

What or who was this meant for? As in haude doesnt boom? Yeah few civs boom like ports. But are you rushing correctly? Or are you trying to make haude a civ that its not?

I mean your army consists of guns + skyrms. Just like portugal. And this is the only working tactic for iroque in your opinion. Strange, right? Why don’t other tactics work. That’s interesting, don’t you think?

I’m thinking “Guns + Skyrms” is meant to be “Goons + Skirms”. To say that Huad’s only option is skirm/goon is silly.

I played a few games with Huad a little while ago. I mostly just rushed in age 2. Something Portugal can (barely) do. Things like 3vills and 5vills give Huad WAY more tempo in age 2 than Ports, and combined with 6 Tomahawks, 7 Archers, 6 Archers, and 4 KH you can hit way harder. Also 5 Tomahawk BB from the TC. Hitting early with 5 Toms, 5 Archers and 4 Housemen can do a lot of damage.

In extended Age 2 play your infantry all get +25/25% which is a big deal. Most civs can’t match that and some civs will have trouble aging against the amount of pressure you can apply.

If you choose not to rush, you can also FF or FI, both of which have uses in certain situations.

I’m not saying Huads are in the best spot overall, most of the native civs have either been over nerfed or mismanaged imo, but Huad certainly has its options and if you’re game plan with them is “play them like Ports” it isn’t going to work well.
