Mexicans
Mexico Baja California Revolt Rush
A variant of the classic notorious Baja California revolt rush. The objective is to revolt slightly later, around 8:30, but with a massive and diversified army that can counter almost anything.
At ~10min, you should have an an army composed of:
- 7 Cuatreros
- 5 Bandidos
- 20 Filibuster
- 21 Holcan Lancer
Age I
Start with a Trading Post, chop 100 wood for a house, or collect wood treasures, then put all settlers on food.
Age up with Chiapas once you have around 14-15 settlers.
Send the following cards as soon as you can:
- 1 Hacienda + 2 Settlers
- Church
Send the Hacienda and the Church to the middle of the map to establish a forward base.
Transition to Age II
Put all settlers except 2 on wood, then send the Land Grab card. Keep 2 settlers on food so you can continue training settlers. Once Land Grab arrives, start building Haciendas. The goal is to reach the 7 Hacienda limit before revolting.
Place the Haciendas around the Church to benefit from its healing powers.
Age II
Build a Saloon next to the Church. Continue training settlers until you reach 20 settlers.
Send the following cards:
- 700 Wood
- Rancheros
Once you have built all 7 Haciendas, send the Tzotzil Uprising card, which gives you 21 strong anti-cavalry units.
Gather 350 wood, 350 food, and 350 coin, then revolt.
Baja California
Build 1 Outpost and 2 Trading Posts. If you are being rushed, adjust accordingly.
Set your Haciendas to produce Cuatreros (dragoons). The Rancheros card allows you to produce one Cuatrero per hacienda every 70 seconds. In the Saloon, train Bandidos, which act as skirmishers.
Send the following cards:
- Fortune Soldiers
- Robber Barons
Send this army destroying your ennemy base. Cards marked with an X are strong follow-up cards that can be sent later depending on your needs.
If You Are Rushed
Send military shipments, such as skirmishers, Chinacos, or other cards marked with an R in the deck. Then revolt as soon as you can and crush your ennemy.
