    Ancient - Medieval Warfare

    Look at it this way.. since everything progresses a lot faster on the "normal" speed that means you're able to produce less troops before they become obsolete but then the same goes for the AI. It may not seem like you have a large enough army but in reality you're probably just fine.

    whats the best strategy for Romans?

    Research Iron early and warmonger like no tomorrow.

    Isolation

    So if I can't make contact with other Civs before Caravels how do I prevent myself from becoming extremely underteched? My current game on Monarch is pretty much scrapped because I'm so far behind. And even if I could compete I don't see how I could expand at all. I was playing a standard size...

    How do you start?

    Yeah depending on my civ I build only 1 or 2 more cities after my capital and then swipe nice AI cities in an early axe rush.

    Whats the use of building cultural wonders in a capital city?

    IIRC you need three civs with 50,000+ culture ratings... not exactly an easy feat.

    frustrated

    The way I really got the hang of this game was by playing with the Romans. It's a simple tech start.. beeline for Iron Working and dominate any nearby civs with a Prat rush. It helps to beeline for the Alphabet when you do this so you can sue your enemies for peace and grab a bunch of free...

    0% Research? Say it aint so

    To gain quick cash for rushing or upgrading units and buildings is usually the only reason I'll drop to 0.

    Best AI Team Mate?

    Yeah I was thinking Caesar/Mansa combo as well.

    Diplo Victory, the easy way.

    Or you could just keep expanding and killing people until you get enough votes to declare yourself the winner. By then you might as well just go with a domination victory though..

    Tech trading revisited

    I think the only time it makes it difficult on the player is when you don't pay attention to detail and you sometimes give up a tech that could end up costing you an advantage in war/wonders/whatever. As long as you're careful about when you trade away techs the AI doesn't have yet, tech trading...

    Early offense rush, how?

    Pretty much posting to agree with luckynick. My latest game I took a similar approach listed and ended up winning a domination victory later on. You don't absolutely need agressive to do an early rush but it is helpful. City Raider on Prats is powerful enough to easily win your first war and...

    On expansion - avoid the middle

    In my current game I had this problem. The Russians were giving me issues so I decided to take them out. I started in the south east corner of the world and the Russians were in the middle. Expanding out like that lead to some problems with the French (I killed them off later because of this and...
