Hello everyone!
I'm playing this Fractal/Standard size/Marathon/Emperor game and I would appreciate it if you could help me find the best strategy to win it.
I randomly got Kublai, Napoleon, Cyrus, Sitting Bull, Montezuma and Ragnar as the opponents. The last two were in another continent only reachable after optics. In my hemisphere KK conquered Napoleon, SB was the only Confucian among us Hindu and was everyone's worst enemy.
I made a lib-steel slingshot and whipped a lot of cannons and backstabbed KK, conquering his land. I'm currently the #1 in land and production and have combustion (for a while) on everybody. I want to win Conquest or Domination, I could win Space but it's a bit tedious and Cyrus is pursuing Dom so we'd have to fight eventually. He has already vassalized Ragnar and SB and is WHEOOHRN. I think he's going after Montgomery because he was pleased when he went WHEOOHRN and I guess he doesn't declare at pleased. There's no way he would win Dom without my land, I'm a little bit above 35% of the world land so he wouldn't reach 64%. But he will certainly win diplo after vassalizing Monty.
Now I don't know what to do. Should I attack Montezuma, who's huge and has Arties? Or should I prepare an invasion force of Scandinavia and Native America while holding Cyrus to get a beachhead on his continent and Monty's? I'm currently researching Flight for the carriers.
These are the lands:
Mine:
Persia and Native America:
Aztecs and Vikings:
The relations, techs and Victory Conditions:
The best players say Marathon is easier so I'm in a good place because I'll have enough time to use my fighters. I don't know what techs I should get. I'm thinking that Artillery is an obvious one, but what about Industrialism? I'm also new to Emperor so I don't know what to expect of their stacks in this era. Thanks in advance to everyone.
