User blog:Wildoneshelper/Third expert difficulty game? Win or lose?

I'm so excited that I'm going to play my third expert difficulty game in Age of Empires 3!! This time I try to play on German, because it is much easier than the British. Note that I failed two times using British. For me, I master German more than British, and so far I've never failed a "Hard" game using the German civilization! And the prosperity can catch up with the French AI (hard) (and that French has Coureur de Bois). I've been using a strategy, and it really works. For British, I'm afraid this civilization is quite hard to manage, but I like to this civilization for carnage in teamed moderate games, with enemies handicapped. (If you master this civilization, you will know that Li'l Bombards can be supplied without the intervention of saloon)

Here is the strategy I use for German civilization:

First I will send the Settler Wagons for collecting food resources and have at least 10 settlers gathering food. In this age, I will build only one house. Then, when I can advance to Colonial Age, I will do it and order all my villagers to collect wood instead. In this period, I will build a market. Then, after advancing, I will build two barracks for fast training. On the contrary, I will train villagers for collecting coin and wood. At first, I will mainly train Crossbowman and Pikeman, but after I advance to Fortress Age, I will start training Skirmisher and Doppelsoldner. There will be extra uhlans in each shipment after Colonial Age, so I will use them to raid enemy town centers, despite having low hitpoints but high attack. The problem is, I don't have Scooners, Church advancement card and the food, wood, coin collecting boost cards.
