No? Micro manage from city details screen? Gets harder when you have 20-30+ cities.

Then test with Trebs. I don't think it changes anything collateral damage wise. If you bring 10-12+ Trebs to a stack after 6-7 attacks the defenders are pretty much down to 25%hp. Of course collateral damage does not apply to catapults or Trebs.

Main difference is treb will likely damage first defender more. Catapult may or may not damage first defender at all. Both units will damage 3 other units by 0.4-0.5. Which in later battles might help a treb live. The catapult will 99% of time die against the defender. The treb may have odds of...

Trebs bring down defences quicker. Once AI have castles those 100% defences are tough. Catapult odds vs longbow is pretty much 2-3%. Albeit it will weaken 3 other units by 0.5 or so. It may do nothing aginst the first defender. 50H vs 80H. With a forge a treb is a 2 pop whip. Otherwise you need...

On immortal they start with 3-4 techs. Usually a worker and a few archers. However on immortal they get other bonuses on research. So techs for the human player require more beakers than they do on monarch. You will never truly equalise the match up. They may start with workers but the AI at...

You need to post a save.

So a shadow game is when a user like yourself posts a 4000bc save and people offer advice on how to play the game with the poster playing 10-15 turn sessions and then taking advice. In your case just posting a save will give us an idea of what you are doing. We should be able to give you enough...

Posting a save before 1ad could help.

@Phoenix Master Do you feel our answers have helped you? Play the map not the leader. if you like a unit or trait then adapt your play to use them. I like this guide but it won't tell you what to do. Nor can we unless you actually start replying your posts...

Optics would be fine for this. If you find iron then you go astronomy.

Astronomy and hope for islands with iron? That or try cavalry/rifles.

You really need to start replying thread you start as this is going nowhere. Your not going to learn the game by posting questions and then not replying. There is a quick question thread for these kind of questions. There are plenty of guides on slavery if you google it. You won't improve...

Noble can be easy if you just use basic game ideas. Slavery and learning how to build economies and expand at the same time. Won't win wars without slavery in some shape or form. Whipping granaries and other builds. On larger maps AI can get to 10+ cities so you need to grab the land or even...

You really need to upload saves as any advice here is guessing at where your game is at. Year? How many cities? How well you placed them? Did you build cottages? What year did Shaka attack? If Noble Ai are beating you down you are missing key elements to your game. The AI won't get a second...
