Settlement placement is more important than you think. If you use a settlement for two resources, place it in such a way that the gatherers for both types are on the same side to begin with.
I use way points to have my cits choose where to collect after they are done building the settlement. Other people use building outlines, but I like waypoints better so all my B.O.s use those. (It does make a difference.)

Excellent finding. I bow down to you beKind!. It is amazing that know one has figured this anti-rush for USA before. I think that everyone will be using this against Rush. Boy I feel sorry for the next France player who tries to proxy against someone who has viewed this recording. He or She will be in for a rude awakening for sure. ;)
Additional Comments:
Major point is that the two resources that have to be next to each other for this to succeed is WOOD and GOLD. This is a must or it will not work. I have already made a adaption similar to Anti-rush #2 but allowing for economy to pick up a little sooner with still 1st DB by 2:53 f11 and 11 DB's by 9:13 f11 time. Shows what you can find out with this game if you practice enough. Good Job!

I watched your adaptation. I'm glad to see that there are many modifications possible. I'll keep trying to find more varations, it seems like there could be many.
You can use these B.O.s by the letter or you can adapt them like RTE did, and use them as a starting point for ideas. up to you.
I just hope they can encourage some people to revist U.S.A after having ruled them out for starting too slowly.

If UK had gone with a commando rush, it would be all over. No tower. No armory for an engineer.
