I've got pretty good at Warlord on BNW. I haven't lost a game yet at any rate.
So I thought I'd try Prince. I've had to retire twice so far. I know the AI is supposed to get pretty much the same benefits as you are but I'm immediately dropping behind in tech, missing every wonder, being bottom in score and I'm totally nonplussed...
I've been watching Marbozir's play and going for free workers and settlers with the Liberty tree. So I get a free worker but by this time the AI has already built at least one wonder. I like archipelago maps as well. First game I tried to leapfrog to optics to get Great Lighthouse. I was first into the Classical Era, started building the GL soon after and I still lost the wonder. Tried it again to get Colossus, wonder was built a few turns after I started. I was starting to get wonders built before I'd even managed to research the tech. Couldn't get a pantheon either.
Also Barbarians spawn so quickly and are so hard to kill that you cant kill them fast enough before they have repopped.
Second time I couldn't kill a Barbie camp on the other end of the island. Every time I healed up, another unit spawned before I could get to the camp. Another camp spawned at the other end of the island and took my only worker, razed every tile around my only city before I could get back. By then two more barbs had already spawned and my one warrior plus one scout got creamed by barbarians. I didn't even have them on raging...
Any tips for moving up?
Also this forum's forgot password function doesn't work. It doesnt send an email. Luckily I found it eventually!
