I`m doig a lap of the block trying for conquest/dom wins using all the agg. leaders. The settings are cheesy......immortal , epic ,standard size , pangea.
I am having huge trouble with Alexander and I really want some fun with those phalanxes and GP`s
Basically my problem is the start.....I dont do ultra early rushes as I`m a non re-starter and if it fails I`m screwed , I also wont regen till I get seafood.
So any way , even if I get a great starting spot I just stare at the screen going "what next?"
Unless I have ivory or something needing a camp I cant build a worker unless I study agriculture which leaves me well behind.
Studying archery while I build a worker leaves me nothing for him to do
Building a barracks while teching archery means I get boxed in big time.
Straight to BW is risky..high chance of not getting copper and not much whipping potential with no food
And lastly if I take it slow , avoid archery , study worker techs , build not whip a settler......then I get pumped by barbs.
I`m not up to the Celts yet but I imagine the same probs exist with Boedicia.
Any ideas??
