I agree with many of the above. As a Monarch player myself, I love Infantry + Artillery. Nothing can really stop it until Mech infantry, and even then it's kinda workable. You seem to have somewhat of a tech lead so space is an option if you have good production (which I can't tell by the...

OMG. It never occured to me that hunting is a pre-req. I'm so bad at this game :lol:

Nothing wrong with using grammar to my advantage. Especially when those confused have such a huge edge in skill, like noogai. I need some edge in debates :D I'll remember this for future posts though.

If you start with Hunting and Mysticism, as I noted in the OP, you would have to research AH and AG before you could improve your food tiles. Thats nearly 20 turns (6-8 for AG, and 12-14 for AH) where you dont have the tech needed. Depending on the map, this could mean 3, 4, 5 or maybe even more...

By the sounds of it one of two things are going wrong. You are either: A: Not building enough catapults. About 2/3rds of your army should be catapults when you go to war. That level should be maintained as well as possible. You then use these to bombard and "suicide" for collateral. B: If you...

That's what I was saying. Alphabet seems like a great oracle tech. I must not have worded my first post clearly :confused:

So then, what do you go first in that case? A worker seems useless, as it will sit for several turns unable to do anything... (4-7 depending on tech path to AH and available commerce.)

I'm not sure Alphabet, and Construction shouldn't both be considered as "strong" options on most difficulties..

Title says it all. Is it optimal only if you are in a situation where a worker couldn't improve any tiles when it completed? Let's say; you have cows and pigs in your initial BFC, and every hill is covered in forest. And your starting techs are hunting and mysticism. Does the case have...

I'd say Agriculture and the wheel are most often the best two starting techs. But Mysticism, Hunting, Fishing, ect can be preferred given then right situation.

I've watched your youtube videos. You are a master at bribing people. And it is so funny how much enjoyment you get out of it. lol As for copper:

@learner gamer: Short Answer: I suck at this game. Haha. More in-depth response:

You cant. You have to settle a second city to get a metal. And that city in on an island, so you need sailing for the trade route. Choosing to axe rush was the problem. Your quote makes my edit much less ninja... :( haha

Rushing Toku is so tough tho. Protective archers, and combat I on everything else... I'm not very good at rushes, so maybe thats why it failed so badly :( @Zx Zero Zx: I rushed Toku @ about 1000bc. I know rushing Toku is normally not recomended but I dont see an option. Could try an earlier...

I was playing on Monarch, and lost when my axe rush failed horribly :sad: I retried on prince, when I made the WB Save, and that game is going much better. Probably due to the lower difficulty. Yes, there are 2 clams, a fish, and a wheat in the starting BFC. The capitol is really solid.
