yah logic sneak units along the edge of the map
or since most people boom on this map confuse the hell out the enemy by getting a dock up and units across the water as soon as possible
u could probably do it in about 5 minutes with the chinese.
lol no one expects an HI rush on east meets west.
but yah for a traditional strategy just spend all ur resources on dominating the ocean..don't even let him have a fishing ship, dont even klet him have a dock, and if u bombard the shore enough u can always do a good old fashioned beach landing.
hope that helps u out...
some defensive tips, instead of fortifying have ships patrool up and down ur land and all around the ocean
it's cheaper, and u can group wall those ships together for assualts and what not.
Out numbered but not out maneuvered, the Greeks rammed the Persians at Salimis.
