Never really tried Emperor much before. Why, I don't know... Think I'm capable of winning here a lot of the time. This is my first real Emperor game. I've managed to make it to the Industrial Age with a huge chunk of land for myself. Playing as the Mongols (Stupid idea, I just recently got horses ). Need some help on whether to build factories and what I should do to catch up. Since I've taken over the 2nd island I've been Republic, before that was Monarchy. I own most of a huge continent and then the small island I just took over on the 2nd one. Have almost all city improvements built in most of my cities. Bringing in 4 luxes (1 myself, 3 through trades).
I've been pretty much just using my massive GPT to buy techs from the 4 civs that are ahead of me. Not too fond of this because it's kind of wasting my universities. I've had the opportunities to join in an MPP with the Aztecs or Carthage for a long time now, just never have because didn't want to go to war with one or the other. Feared it may have bad repercussions on my reputation considering I've always had lux/gpt deals with them.
I've considered gifting a few civs up to my level but it's not really a strategy that I've ever tried so I wasn't sure the effects it might have and never went through with it. Also not really sure how I'm going to win as this was kind of an experimental game (I do think I have a good chance of winning, just not sure how). Any pointers on whether to build factories or not would be appreciated. Also would appreciate any tips on how to go about winning and what to do technology wise.
Thanks in advance for any help. Tried uploading save but apparently the file exceeds the limit for Civ3Conquests saves. It's a huge map so I guess that's just the way it goes.
