I'm trying to develop a strategy to move from the lower difficulty levels to the middles ones, tell me what you think of it.
I play the Greeks. As I start off with alphabet, I put my research up to 100% on the first turn and start researching writing. I get my working building roads near the capital for the extra commerce and I build a warrior or two to start exploring. When the capital is big enough, I build a settler to found city 2. Once I get writing I research philosophy, so I can get literature as the free tech. This gives me a couple of very tradable techs and im able to start building the great library in my capital. I set my other cities to build warrior/settler/library, and if anybody starts a war with me I switch production from library to hoplites.
This strategy lets me take the lead in technology on warlord and regent levels. Will it work well at higher levels?
