Wow.. im quite shocked to discover how difficult this game is.
Before, i used to keep beating Prince easily ... then moved to monarch (winning a few) just recently. but I grew tired of the way I play, which is just war mongering
I also never understood how some guys always kept asking help on how to win Prince and Monarch, since I was winning it easily
well, i guess im no better.. only that the strat i always use is soooooooo good. I go with Rome, Praetorian spam/rush, and keep taking cities as I expand. just get agriculture, bronze/iron working, then just spam workers and settlers while i dont have iron yet. no religion and other techs. after that, i turn off the research, and concentrate on praetorians
But a few days ago, i tried this "city specialization" where I only have 1 production city, 1 commerce and 1 great person city
it was terrible... i could barely win on prince LOL
i also wanted to try other civilizations. i chose elizabeth and washington. im trying to expound on that city specialization by choosing leaders that are good at those(financial)
anyway, the point to all this is, theres too many technologies, units, civics, buildings to choose from!
i dont know what strat to choose and formulate.. civilopedia is my friend and enemy it has all the answers, but its quite tiresome to read it
anyway, can anyone please just point me to a thread, or give me examples on the different possible playstyles?
something generic, and nothing long winded
like... tech archers, spam archers. make a great artist spamming city(details on how to make one too) then just culture bomb everyone and dominate
something like that..
But i want it to be varied and nothing obvious, and mostly about the economy. Since I dont know much about it. I just know how to build praetorians, intercept reinforcements, fall back, raid improvements, then finally invade the city
I never learned the basics of the game. i just knew the war principles of the game. none of the economic principles.
