I agree on settle the cooper if you plan to rush. If you do rush I'd go after Shaka and buddy up with Wang Kon and Pericles (who are usually more peaceful leaders). You are right in Shaka's war path and he will attempt to eat you at one point unless you get him to attack someone else which is...

London has 4 hills, that's pretty okay. Your capital if you settle in place is almost always guaranteed three (unless you settle on one) and that's passable production. Not to mention all the trees there.

Yeah with the silly mic issues @_@. I play with him a fair bit we both go on and off the series.

Spear vs HA isn't too bad in the short term if you can deny iron quickly (you need to find it, you can use yields or more obviously mines on flat lands if you don't have IW) but if you are thinking this way, you might not want to go HA. Horse Archers are amazingly good and really you can win on...

Horses are faster. Simply find the metal, cut it off best you can and he can't use aggressive. Don't overbuild on them, if you can't take cities with say 7-8 horse archers (while continuing to build them in your cities) just try deny his metal instead and threaten different cities. He will move...

The longer you leave it the longer they have to get Iron hooked up and get organized and the higher chance that one will declare on you and the other will be bribed in. When facing Aggressive you do not want to be facing melee if you can help it. Also you're not truly isolated because you get...

Nah I'm not big on human vs human multiplayer. I'm happy to bash some AIs of any level though. Well... not Deity, Ill die horribly.

No, but what might be better particularly if no one likes him is to take a cease fire and continually steal his workers. Though really you could probably kill him outright with something as strong as WC's.

First thing I'd ask is what type of victory do you prefer and what's your style of play, war, peace, something in the middle. I'm gunna give this a play, I'm comfortable on emperor and can win on Immortal, so I'll give this a go and see how I can help. Edit: Okay played this out a bit. Based on...

You think I don't watch Youtube when not catching z's? :lol: It's not limited to war though. You simply know more about the ins and outs of micro then I do of course you're going to take longer. Either way, most of the time Blazing is much too slow for both of us :P.

Blazing is far too slow indeed. There needs to be a new turn timer speed: 'No napping' because I can definitely get a few zzz's when playing with TMIT as he micromanages stuff. Obviously I don't play anywhere near as well but still good enough to win Immortal most of the time :P.

TMIT convinced me to look into this. I can win reliably on Emperor and about 50/50 on immortal, so let's go with immortal so TMIT can make fun of me again about how terrible I am.

Agriculture is my favourite starting. I instantly like a civ more that starts with it. Mining. Faster BW, faster chopping, faster knowledge of bronze, what's not to like. Wheel. Would be equal to mining except for the fact I only really like it if I start with Agriculture too, its a...

If I get gold, gems or silver I usually regen because I find games to be MUCH easier to win in consequence. Admittedly it is time I moved up from Monarch to Emperor but still, these starts I feel cheat the difficulty unless they are otherwise bad. Early happy resources are very strong as it...

Yeah its been summed up already. However if I'm going for Space I will generally lean for cannons if I need to remove someone so I can get the earlier Ironworks and getting some of the midlate wonders with the Ironworks city to help my space race, though I do hope most of my wars are done before...
