It feels like there is a new pattern in every game I try to play. I play Emperor, small map, random everything.
I have a plan from the start... I execute the plan, and I seem to be doing swell, but then there is one runaway civ that I can't do anything about... first the Celts... with one city were dominating the world. Then the Fricking Germans... not military at all... even with the GL and NC I was still behind in tech!
I have no idea what I'm doing wrong. Seems like something fundamental to be so far behind so fast. I think others have said that that's the way emperor is because the AI gets so many starting bonuses... is that right? I'm not sure it's even fun to play like that when I don't have a chance of doing anything early in the game but survive.
They get every WW... like... three techs ahead of me. And it just keeps going like that.
