Yeah, I'm not ready for anything higher, LOL.
I started as Japan because..well...I just finished the Oda Clan in Shogun II, so why not?
My question is, how early do you guys start attacking or implementing your strategy?
I'm on turn 185 or something. I went to war against the Iriquois at the request of Persia, and took the city, and now have the Great Wall. So I've got 5 cities, and a decent amount of iron and horse coming in. Got a couple groups of Samurai, and a catapult or two, with some crossbow-men. As I was exploring the sea, my Open Borders pact with Jin ran out, and now I have two ships stuck, so I may have to declare war on them to get my units back.
I'm trying to win via Culture or Science, but every time I try to build a wonder to get increased culture someone always..ALWAYS gets to it like 5 turns ahead of me.
I've also noticed that Persia is expanding fast...lightning fast! To the point where I almost decided to declare war to raze a couple of his cities and then go for another peace treaty.
Anyway, I'm hoping that I can just get rid of Jin in the next 50 turns or whatever just to get my extra units back...a catapult and swordsman LOL.
