Against 1.03 Ottomans, SPAM outpost! they have no hardcore siege units (except for grenadiers but those suck in every other perspective), so backed up by some light infantry this might even work.

Against Ottos you need more than just outposts, because jans do good enough siege to be a problem.
Abus guns die quickly to CM TCs right now and in 1.03 will probably take a lot of damage from towers too. So For brits turtling with lots of towers might work.

I don't think they had a low siege to begin with, they seemed to take down buildings fast enough when I was rushed.. x.x
Another obscure strat that I often do, fighting in Colonial... as France =o

France are pretty good in Colonial compared to...Portugal? now that is wrong. portugal can rush and boom at the same time in colonial. even if the rush fails, ports will still have a higher economic rate. |

It's not wrong. Portugal starts slower. France's economy is stronger in the first 5 minutes of colonial where it matters (cdb shipments).

French can do an easy double barrack xbow spam right at colonial, Ports cant match it.
14 Vil age up
split 7/7 food wood
que 2 vil
build 2 houses
collect 400wood
build 2barracks
ship either 8 xbow or 700wood
spam xbow pike
Best a port has a cance to do is something like:
14vil age up
if water prolonged schooner boom
and Colonial Militia Defense while you FF
