A guide written by WaytEarpSince this is my most favourite strategy with India, I decided to write a guide about it.
The sense is, to build up a little Sepoy force (depends on enemy) and forward Agra Fort, to give your enemy the impression of a rush. According to that he'll start defending and turtling, you can try to raid him, but in the back you're already aging. Because your opponent is scared that you could trap him (for example British, Longbows in a well defended base are very good however on field crap).
Your goal is to reach fortress and to get Urumi and Mahout.
Some notes
- Just use this tactic versus weak-rush civilisations, some Fast Fortress'ers and turtlers
I do use it versus:
- China
- Britain
- Russia
- Portuguese
- Iroquois
- I normally don't use Build Orders, it's just a guiding principle, every game is different. If you want to get better, you need to react on every situation.
