I wonder if I should just stop playing on King. It's too difficult for me. The AI will always be ahead no matter what. If you build wonders, you're behind in soldiers. If you build soldiers, you're behind in money.
It seems like it's too hard to keep up with the AI. You try to have as many soldiers as them? You're in debt. You try to build wonders? They always beat you to it one turn before. You have a high population? Your population is unhappy.
The AI in King seems to be able have a huge empire, build every wonder, while having hundreds of soldiers, while being in the lead in science and having tons of GPT. I just can't seem to emulate this as a player.
Basically seems like, if you're ahead in something; you're behind in something else.
I mean, I've had a few good games on King; but I might just play on Prince. The AI advantages are just too vast.
I'll get the Great Library and the National College but still be behind in tech. I'll build a market in every city but still have low money.
Or do I just suck?
If so, how can I as the player, have tons of gold, tons of happiness, build every wonder and be ahead in tech?
