I have been on a kick lately - pangea map, China, trying to see how quickly I can go domination. I get to cho-ku-nos (hopefully with 3 founded decent location cities), upgrade my archers, and go. Then I start building catapults/trebuchets to upgrade to artillery for later conquest.
As always, the big problem is happiness. As you start taking cities/AIs, trading partners dwindle, no matter how much you work on diplomacy. By then I am at the lead, or close, in tech, and 2-4 in military.
I have been taking Liberty, for the free settler, worker, and other assorted goodies (that free GS is nice). Then I go for either parts of trad (early honor really doesn't do much) until I can get rationalism/right side of commerce (happiness).
Would I be better going honor rather than liberty? Military might is not the issue as much as happiness.
Thoughts???
