What are your favourite meme builds?

I’m looking for meme builds to try out.
It would be cool if you could attach a screenshot of your deck as well.

Thanks.

My favorite is the Aztec religious unity. Just stack the deck with every religious unity card and make sure you send it as your second shipment.

Edit: the deck I use is slightly different than this, but you get the idea

Wouldn’t really call that meme as that is a viable rush build but i guess the interpretation of “meme” is different to people; none the less looks good!

Shouldn’t all meme builds be at least somewhat viable? I haven’t encountered anyone else who goes straight religious unity all the way. Instead I’ll just see the maya followed up with a standard looking deck.

Yeah the meme build should have some chance of success.

I still find the russian priest rush to be the funniest.

I’ve seen a Malta one where they try to sneak in Petards to snipe your TC to get rid of the build restriction radius. Then they follow it up with a Fixed Gun in range of your base to demolish everything.

There is this aztec meme build where you can do 1 time push with a 350+ population, but to reach that, the Aztec needs to be in industrial or imperial age with the sole focus in surviving for 30 minutes, it also includes at least 50 arrow knight while maintaining 80 villager and 15+ skull knight

Yeah you can overpop with big buttons and the revolution card can be mixed in as well for the lolz.

Just do Brits or Dutch into South Africa but make sure you built all the houses so you get 20 Trek Wagons, easily the most stupid and toxic thing in the game.

Gotta be the long age 1 brits into FI for Gentlemen of the piki and Rangers. Absolutely crazy when it works and I’ve had people playing “lame civs” call me lame for doing it I think

German infantry speed (tilly discipline + aresenal tech + drummer unit) on maps with quecha; best with fusiliers as mercs

India: Sepoy castle spam (field construction + moghul architecture + portugese consulate)

Mexican bandits in lategame (-> baja revolt)

(In teamgames) Japanese hatamato push (gather coin, swap to export via card)

Italy: 200 pop of papal zuave

On TAD I’d sometimes play Germany on Andes to get the +20% speed from the Inca for 6.75 speed dopps. It was great having dopps that can keep up with Hussars. Not to mention, what beats dopps that run that fast?

I don’t know how meme this is, but my favorite strategy would be to only use eco boosting cards. It’s very risky, but very rewarding.

Something I would like to try would be Spanish Bosniaks with the “Caballeros” card, or Spanish Ronins with all the cards that improve them.

Yes, and with Pioneers and Warrior Culture card which made Villager automatically attack enemy in range, means the whole population goes to war, and the rebellion card also make them spawn warrior on death.

Make sure you have 199/200 population with no Skull or AK, then send 20 otontin for 19 overpop. then send all big button tech including the 24 jaguar from TC (all big button combined is like 113 pop value). Wall of Skull and Ritual Gladiator can push even more overpop if you have lots of dead Skull and JPK. Zapotec, Maya, Pet Jaguar, and Eagle Scout can further provide additional 51 unit.

Now you only need to set one control group for villager that is decent for tanking, and another control group that is 50 arrow knight to snipe cannon and building. The rest of your army function to mess the game pathing for all player in the map, and with luck they gonna chase anything that is bonkable.

papal zouave are just… chefskiss.

Though the lancers just outshine them.

Speaking of italy, the new Merc rider + all the cav cards and the 10% firerate is also hillarious though not really working well.

Papal Lancers with Caballeros doing 270 dmg to infanty with their lance throw gotta be on the list
