In the interest of competition I am looking for some help.
Sometimes I own, sometimes I get owned, in FFA on the 360. Lately, I have been noticing a trend with certain players of all Civs. First, and foremost the trend is with those ranked inside of the Top 50. That's the big exclamation mark for me. Secondly the "trend" or strategy is crazy expansion, or at least crazy to a player like me.
These players are creating in the neighborhood of 7 - 10 cities, very early on in the game. I am wondering, what is the formula? Obviously they all have, or end up in a Republic. I guess, I am looking to be a little more like them, to counter and compete. I see this commonly with Chinese, and more recently American. The Civ doesn't matter to me though as I play random. My concern is the location of these cities, they seem to be stacked almost on top of each other. Is this OK? My expansion cities are normally well thought out, and maximize resources. And are they using one city to grow all? Or is the newest city growing the next one?
The amount of cities doesn't stop me from defeating them always, but it certainly makes it harder. Especially if we are vying for the same map space.
