I'd love some strategy advice from more seasoned players. I've been playing emperor games with Catherine, and more or less winning, but they are not solid wins. I've also been playing the same strategy and would like to learn to be more adaptive.
This game is:
Large | Emperor | Continents Plus | Time is disabled
Because this is a continents game, I am a bit too lazy to go domination and will probably wind up slapping up the spaceship instead.
I'm a bit torn between going wide vs tall... there is so much open land I can potentially grab, but, but I don't know if I can do it quickly enough and maintain my happiness. Usually I start to "covet" the lands of others and taking AI cities later in the game. BUT, somehow I keep finding myself in the middle of nuclear wars, which are no fun.
The next city i'm building is going north-west on the hill in range of the cotton. With all those flood plains and grass I can grow it tall and use it to spam G writers and G artists so that I don't have to prioritize my culture buildings.
Pantheon - If I go wide +2 science for city connections gives a nice early boost to science. But getting the +1 prod for 3 pop is going to help in the long run, especially with building an army / spaceship.
I've dipped into both Tradition and Liberty at this point and really need to decide what i'm doing, because I am all over the place.
Anyway, I get stuck on the same train of thought and i'd like to know what others think. Thanks!
