My latest Immortal game was a dismal failure. I pulled the plug on it around 1000AD.
Here was the problem: It was the combination of other civs on the continent plus the shape of the continent. It is a LONG, but relatively narrow continent. I am at one end, then a LONG distance away is Ghandi and Elizabeth is at the far end. There is a lot of really good land between me and Ghandi. That is the good news. The bad news is that he is so far away that early rush doesn't make much sense even though I have Horses and Iron. Ghandi founded Hinduism and Elizabeth converted (as did I), but then -- since we are at Immortal -- Ghandi just merrily techs me into the dirt.
So, from the start, what would be your normal strategy in this situation? I am going to try to replay it, but not clear what strategy to try. Thanks.
