advice to beginers

Do not go to war first thing especialy if the enemy is more powerful then you


If you bribe another civ to go to war with a civ you are at war most likely they will make you do all the work and will make peace imediatly

Gonna disagree with you here. Sometimes a war right away can be profitable, such as to steal a worker, or take an AI capital, possibly undefended depending on the difficulty. And I also frequently go to war with people somewhat stronger than I am. Maybe not those with a tech advantage, but certainly with those who have a larger military.

Great article. I just have to add that pants are best worn when dry, books don't read themselves, and a city built on rock and roll would be structuraly unsound.

Well THAT explains what I have been doing wrong. Next time I will build TWO spearmen before attackng the SoD. Unless they have tanks, when one should be more than enough.

I think the OP just tried to gang up on a more powerful AI and it didn't go as planned. he got his butt kicked and he is so bitter he actually made a CivFantatics account so he could save us from making the same mistake. His mistake was not that he bribed sdomeone to go to war....but that he joined the war.

I'd say the trick to going against a more powerful foe is focusing your efforts. If they have more land thats more area to defend. Merely take your army and concentrate it at a weak point along the border. If you can get an ally to attack from the other side even better. Divide and conquer, or at the very least pillage
