I usually only have a 1 layer wall, but if the game is getting past 1 hour, I will make a second layer for insurance. If it is too small, you will be very cramped, with not much room for mills etc, and if someone gets mortars too close, all of your buildings could fall with just a few shots. If it is too big, people will be attacking you from all sides and it will be hard to defend. You don’t want your fort to be too big, but also not too small. If you are forced to, have a cannon ready to kill everything that comes through the hole in 1 shot, and have some towers etc ready just incase. Try not to have to build walls around trade routes, because it will leave a hole in your wall. However, all you have to do is wall in 8 banks and 2 factories, and you will be good to go, probably getting even more gold than him.Įssential Concepts for Turtling with Dutch: I have seen MANY opponents think “hmm, I’m playing a Dutch player, better tower up all of the mines,” and send parts of his army to defend mines etc. Most enemies assume that once your mines are take, a Dutch player cannot survive. Sure, it’s a good idea to always have some miners, but if your enemy has control of all the gold mines, you will still have a steady income of gold.
If you are lvl 25, you can get the tulip speculation card, which makes your banks produce coin even faster! This means you don’t have to worry too much about miners. This is because inside your thick shell of walls, towers, and cannon, you can have 8 banks constantly pumping out coin. The Dutch are probably the best turtling civilization in the game and one of the best boomers when you get to level 25. You can see what your enemy has, find the best spot to send some cavalry to raid villagers, etc. You can make 3 of these things for only 225 food, and it is essentially spies, because nothing attacks them. Also, a good German FF mercenary rush will absolutely KILL dutch unless you can FF and get mercenaries out yourself, but you will still be outnumbered. If you think Ruyters can defeat them, you will have to have them outnumbered 4:1. 1st of all, Cuirassiers! These are really hard for any civilization to counter, and they will completely destroy a Dutch army. If you are playing as the Dutch, there are several things you have to look out for.
I hope more people will want to play as the Dutch after they read this guide. This is the 1st time I have ever written a guide, and some people’s guides that I look at to give me ideas are TGE (TheGoodEvil), and Ceres629. All of the strategies in here can really be used at any HC level, but some will be changed according to level. In this guide, I will try to get more people to play with the Dutch and appreciate their true power. They are also the least used civilization other than Russian and The Portuguese. The Dutch are probably the most unique civilization in Age of Empires 3. The Dutch: A guide to Booming and Turtling
