I was hoping you would say that (hence my use of the word 'seem').Originally posted by Ision
I make no such assumption.
For a part, yes. But the lower levels do not provide strategies that bank on the strengths of the AI rather than their weaknesses (and the human player's strengths).How many varieties of tactics and strategies a player has is not dependant on the level he is playing on but on his skill level at that level.
The trouble arises when you begin to follow a course of action that you don't even realize is a strategy -- in this case, we're talking about a mechanical obsession with the construction of wonders.Originally posted by Ribannah
My point remains that players should practice many strategies if they want to get to a higher level, that building a good number of wonders is one such strategy, and that while it shouldn't become a fixation it shouldn't be neglected either.
Xether, I'm guessing that you are currently playing at Regent or Monarch level. The approach you describe should usually work at those levels. (And those are the levels which can maintain happiness at 3 citizens with a temple as you mentioned.)Originally posted by Xether
I think the main Tactic newbies need to follow is to be very aggresive and militarilistic in the highier difficulties

but instead rush with dozens of archers at the beginning(which are quite effective in teh beginning)

I had no problem in building 2 wonders at the begining because i was still capable in expanding

(discluding barracks and temples, which i think are the main buildings you will only need in the beginning

4. Lastly, repeat after me THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A BEST CIV OR BEST TRAIT. Get that in your head! Say it ten times daily repeat it every time you stare at the list of CIVs to choose from. Repeat it every game until you reach at least Monarch.

Yes I've been thinking about doing a 5CC challenge, one sounds impossible though except maybe cheiftan. When you take enemy bases in 5cc or one cc what do you do with them. IF you raze them you lose rep but if you starve them and abandon them with one last foreign citizen you still take a rep hit right? So what do you do with captured cities.
