Interesting suggestions. I like the ideas of sperate battle scenes and HOI mechanics. First off, I remember the time when everybody was crying about doom Stacks, similar to doom carpets now. For me the essential difference ist micro vs. mechanics. Microing a large army around the map to win...

But there are so many times that a city is just worth it's campus! No matter what I do, mostly science or domination, a city ist almost always better than not a city - unless you have so much space, that I can't imagine how this will be the case on fairly standard settings. I recently even...

Well, if a City fits it's okay. Better than not a City, especially when you have no room. But you are playing germany here, you don't even need hills.

Military engineers.

This seems discussed a lot. Do not send away your early units. If a scout finds your city, trap it between your city and the unit. Stay away like three tiles with your warrior, if the scout gets in, cut his way, if He comes out attack him and Stay at your hex. Heal one turn, he runs back twoards...

Much more likely is, that you are too fast. Playing too fast provokes stupid mistakes, forgetting about crucial things, failing to adept and just not thinking through the situation. As it is much more relaxing, I fall into that habt too and get smashed.

Also run a plain war economy. You need commerical hubs, at least you can trade with some cs. What also works well is, leaning on what victoria said, meet two civs, denounce the juciy target and send a delegation to the next. Give it open borders, trade some thing, declare a joint war and...

Sure you can win with much less cities. But why do that. I just have a mongolia game, where I was stuck on two cities by T75 because my horses ran into a massive barbarian Invasion while I tried to pick up Byzantiums cities. When done with the Red carpet, he had his walls up and doubled my...

Taking your screenshot says that you have two cities by turn 75. Why do you want to produce wonders? You really should have produced settlers or an army like 40 turns ago. By t50 you want to have PP and by 100 you want to have about 10-15 cities (assuming all std. settings) and near kilwa...

This is right when you have everything down with your plans and roll the right map and civs. You will win anyways if you can defend yourself and get out some cities in a reasonable amount of time. There are two things in my experience that can catch you off guard. 1) not properly prepared...

I always read these posts and think "yes, builder first when I have coast in my neck" or "I'll give that horse push another go". Always to end up with two cities, surrounded by barbs and cleopathra as neighbour. Alt + F4 after 45 rounds of non stop chariot archer killing without any siginifanct...

You really need one or two encampments. You shouldn't go all bonkers on units. It's super snwobally to launch a succesful early attack. Best suited imo is a sword rush with a RAM and a GG. If you play grad colombia you can do anything you want. With oligarchy and a comandante General you can...

I tried it. It"s kinda tough since you only have the horse option. I didn't expand because there was no reason to, I beelined horsemen and started the assault with archers and an additional warrior. I just payed off russia 1 Dipl favour to join me. Also I armanied the militaristic City state...

Hey! I'll try your save later tonight. There are 100 times better players than me around here, so thumbs down for one of them to reapond :D Forget about the Artemis. Beeline horseback. Open like Solinger 2-3x into settler, Monument. Buy or Pantheon a worker. Consider settling gems just to sell...

Hi everyone! I took quite some time off the game and just got back to look at the things which came with the game mode and Balance patch Updates. So far I'am really having fun. I know a lot of you are upset with the game, but I kind of see it as what it is and don't measure it according to my...
