ATP on land map is great . Goodspeed probably covered this in his write up , but Portugal has the best dragoons in the game , and its cassadores are very strong too . They have the best skirmgoon mass of any civ other than maybe the Dutch . The free TP is great for map control . Plop it down on contested hunts for some late game potential . I ' ve seen Aizamk do some whacky rush where he plops his second TP down near an opponent ' s base , ship 700 w , and rush with xbowpike . Not a big fan of that but it works for him and you definitely can corner an opponent with all those towns . <| sep |> Dat mustache though . <| sep |> Yea ive learned that ' s not . a good idea <| sep |> Haha I know , I just love the wording <| sep |> Weren ' t these like $ 4 at Fleet Farm ?
