Sublime silk fish boom
Ottomans
Kuleli's FF is potent but sublime porte has other applications. Here is a combined TP and fish boom to perform in age 2.
Game plan
Performed a combined TP boom and age 2 double dock fish boom, using the ludicrous quantities of wood given by sublime porte.
Age I :
Do a TP+mosque+house opening. Rush to make a TP as fast as possible as you need enough XP to send 3 shipments very early in the game. The age up time is not the limiting factor. Once the TP is build, focus on food, coin and XP treasures (the latter if you missed the first pass and the trade line is long).
Herd at least two groups of animals in your base. Send 3 yörüks and age up with the philosopher prince (food crate).
In transition, send the silk road shipment. Keep all your yörüks on food. You want to bank as much food as possible in transition. Scout the enemy with your explorer. You will not be able to do so once you reach age 2.
Age II :
Gather your food crates that have been boosted with some yörüks. Shortly after reaching age 2 you will have your 3rd shipment available. Send sublime porte. Move your explorer toward a trade route. Aim to have 2000 food in the bank when sublime porte arrives. As soon as you have your wood, do the following :
- Send 2 yörüks to the shoreline and build 2/3 docks. Pump out fishing boats with these docks
- Build trade posts on the trade route with your explorer
- Build 3 houses, a market, a barrack and another military building (art foundry or stable)
- Research hunting dogs (with the coin you got from treasures), and millet system
Follow up
You have options with your 4th shipment depending on what the other guy is doing
- 700w : extend the fish boom or the tp boom. This is the greediest option
- 700c : produce military units out of two buildings (Jan+deli or jan+abus) or prepare for the privateers to contest the sea.
- Military unit : combine with azap and bachibozouk to defend
