I recently played a Monarch game as Alex. I spawned on a continent with Zara, Wang and Louis. I expanded quickly to 6 cities and let the AIs develop the jungle land for me.
I had 3 choices to attack: Louis, my neighbour to the west with 3 cities and a holy city (quick Code of Laws). Wang to my North, nice land due to jungle, some gems. And Zara to the NW, but his borders didn't touch mine.
I ended up going for Louis' 3 cities, which I took quickly (I'm getting pretty good at this warring. ) It was way too easy.
Here's my Q: Should I have gone for the Protective Civ first? I ask because when it came time to go after Wang, he had Feud and I saw a couple PRO Longbowman (note: it probably took my too long to go after Wang after I disposed of Louis, but that's besides the point!).
Is there a counter in the Medieval Era for PRO Longbowman? Mean, they have a ST of 6 but with a 75% bonus, that a strenght of 10. Maces I guess but my Trebs won't be able to soften them up unless they are heavily promoted (Barracks, Military Instructor) and even so.
Once the PRO Civ has Longbowman, should i just race for steel and cannon?
If I would have dealt with Wang early, I would just have to deal with PRO archers.
The goal is/was to conquer my continent.
No screenies, just in general...
