Emperor
I've started the same game 6 times and lost every time, now I'm about to lose number 7. I can't figure out how to hold back the Mongols.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
In current game, New World climate. I have a less than ideal start position. I have a river, but no grassland and much rainforest. I only have 2 iron and 1 horses. Mongols have more and grassland. They have 5 cities and I have 7, but my production is weak. I've had to bypass pottery to try to get some defense. No joy. I'm behind 11 techs and 50 in military. I have man-in-arms, archers, horseman, swords but here come man-in-arms, crossbows, keshig, and cats. Victor kind of helped but won't be enough. Not at a high difficulty, prince. In 3rd era, black. Because playing defense, no wonders, period. Sucks...
I tried settling cities further away, but that only gained me 40 turns. I'm totally frustrated and other than restart, don't know what else to try.
