Greetings,
I usually play at Noble level on a large map with standard speed. I usually win with not much trouble on this difficulty.
I'm ready for the next phase, so last week i started to play at Prince. Well as you expected, most of my strategies doesn't work anymore so i need help.
In Prince i'm able to finish third or fourth in the points and manage to have a empire of around 15 cities. But there is always 2-3 civ who become so much powerful that i can't invade them or win the technological race. They usually got about 20-25 cities and 6 more technology then me, so war is not an option...
- I'm not able to do war before 500 AC because i'm too much busy to expend and build
- I try to build as much Cottage i can to keep up in the technological race but i'm usually 4-5 tech behind the leader anyway
- I'm building a barrack in many city because in war i can't produce enough unit fast enough to keep up with my opponent
- War is very difficult because the opponent build more faster then me.
- I'm keeping most of the city i conquer but i raze the city near the cultural frontier of other civ because i'll lost them anyway because of lack of culture.
- I'm able to keep my science bar 60 % and above usually, but early in the expension phase i go down to 40-50 % because i try to have at least 5 city very fast.
- I trade with most of the civ and get too much the "you trade with my worst ennemy" so i got average relation with everybody. I try to trade all science tech i have for other tech to keep up with the leading civ in term of science.
- When i'm able to discover a religion i use many ressource to get my religion to all city i can to have the 1 gold bonus for each city. So i get one of my major city to build missionnaries for a long time.
- I don't build much wonders, do you think that they worth it ? I try to build oracle to get the free tech, but i usually not have much time to build more.
- I have trouble to manage Specialist economy. I know that specialist can get you nice bonus for science and production, but they dont produce food so my city is not able to growth very fast when i do that. Well i dont know how to handle this properly and usually i don't get much Great People. I have read a lot about this on the forum and website, but i still can't have a proper Specialist Economy.
Well can you advise about my situation ? Maybe you can give me some clue where i'm wrong.
