Any tips for a fairly new player on Monarch?
I've had some success at this level on Standard maps, if I am lucky and have an isolated position. But I've been trying Huge Terra lately, and I can't seem to keep up with the AI.
In peacetime, they slowly outpace me in tech and military.
When they declare war on me, I usually have enough defenses to hold off their doomstacks from my cities. However, they ravage my economy by destroying my improvements, and since they have a good mix of units, I find it difficult to get rid of them with my inferior military. As a result, I find myself falling further behind.
How can I keep up with the AI in peacetime, and how can I best dismantle a doomstack in a defensive war?
Also, are there any good beginner resources you would recommend?
