Hi all
Ive never played a civ game before, i tend to be more into the sims to be honest, but my dad tends to play it a fair bit so i decided to try it!
I wanted to play the english and fight with navies and stuff, but i was told on steam that the computer doesnt play well with navies?. So after messing about with the settings i went for a 'donut' map with a bit of water in the middle as a compromise.
I jumped straight in at the middle difficulty 'king difficulty;, and i would love to win my first game right off the bat, ive been reading articles on steam and here tonight
Its very addictive, i have played it 4 hours straight.
I am stuck though and dont know what to do, i have made some bad mistakes (building a city with no food to grab iron which i thought i needed for weapons) and assyria has conquered my neighbor and from being friendly mates suddenly denounced me and is 'coveting my lands'
I bribed him to fight the aztecs, and bribed siam to attack him (sneaky !) but i think its a matter of time before he attacks me.
I am unsure wether to mass build my longbowmen and attack him, or hope he doesnt attack
If anyone can advise how they would play from here (save attached) i would be really grateful. I know i have made a lot of mistakes, please remember its my first game.
I do think it is still winnable from here?
Thanks
