Sioux is a very fun civ to use if you like horses and OP raiding
:).
Discovery Age:
2 on food crates rest on hunts.

Build one villager ASAP and leave the only one villager to
collect FOOD crates only.
The only time you collect other crates in discovery is if you
have enough resources to build a trading post or a market with
hunting upgrades.
Send 3 villagers card and build 11/12/13 villagers for a total
of 14/15/16 in discovery. (15 is usually standard for me)
Use 400 wood politician
Transition:
I'm not an expert but this formula works for me.
3 on gold and rest on food if you're planning on building
axe-riders initially.
5 on gold and rest on food if you're planning on building
bow-riders initially.
Optional: if you have close to enough wood resources for a
market and food/gold upgrades go ahead and do it, otherwise wait
for 400 wood to use as market resources.
Tip:Now is a good time to use your warchief to run around his
base looking for good raiding spots.
Discovery:
Use 2 villagers to collect wood crates and ship 4 axeriders
Create stable immediately as you have 200 wood and build axes or
bows.
Your 4 axes should be out by now so start OMFG RAIDING!!!.
Now strats start to vary and you have many options to go from
here.
The best advice I can give you is to scout and change your
military and resource management according to the movement of
the game.
Fortress:
If you're aging to fortress the bison politician is a very good
option.
During transition its a good idea to get 1000gold for one of the
gold shipments probably the wakina one.
Tips:
Only use axeriders start against Russians they're muskets stink
and lose against axeriders easily. Otherwise bowrider start is
your best bet.
Move between villagers and their retreat point for optimum
raiding.
Hit n'run with bowriders against pike type military.
My Versatile Deck:

Some Card Highlights:
3villager- 1st shipment
4 and 3 axe (sorry I found out 2 DogSolders>>>3Axes)- Usually my
2nd and 3rd card so I can have a big raiding party fast
Morningstar- Changes Axes into Rifles which reverse counters in
discovery.
700gold- Card to boost your gold to go into fortress or to help
get excess gold for 3rd age shipments.
GreatHunter-Such a good card. Basically a replacement for
700food.
10renagodos-A shipment I use for a quick defensive save.
Basically 10 supermuskets.
Bison cards-better than food crates b/c of soiux's speedy
hunting abilites.
Wakina cards- Try sending both in fortress for a mass of cheap
skirms.
oh yeah I almost forgot about fire-pitting!!!
I usually fire-pit half way into fortress when i got at least
30+ villagers. Think of it as your last big push to kill them
off, because unless you're waaay ahead in eco you're losing alot
of resources during your dance. 25 on pit ALWAYS either 25 or 0.
With your huge army head into town with attack dance if you know
they have an army then switch into siege and watch those
buildings fall as fast as if you had an army of petards :).
