Fair enough, but in this case that means delaying finding horses; I wouldn't have even known I had the option of HA if delaying AH more (or maybe I did, not sure on the time frame I had to attack here)

Forgot, added the 2 saves Also wondering about mining the sheep, I never consider improving something a resource with something else. I guess the idea is it gives you 2 more :hammers: which are more valuable than the 2 :food: it gives? It looks like that corn could sustain the 2 PH mines + the...

One of the biggest things I learned from my monarch shadow game was that what you do is less important as you committing fully to your decision. Here, you have some fantastic land around you; multiple good food sources, multiple golds, and a lot of FPs. I would go wheel->pottery and get as many...

Hi all, played a game with ragnar that stumped me. Standard size+speed pangaea Attaching a t0 save and a t100 save so you can see how the game has gone (probably unwinnable at my skill level :crazyeye:) In short, awkward land around me + getting boxed in by 2 creative leaders, and not good...

imo having a start this good defeats the purpose of a shadow game

Welcome! I see it's chieftan and granted I've never looked at the tutorial, I can offer some basic tips. #1 - Food is king Food is THE most important resource in the game. You should almost always be building your cities near a food source. More food = faster city growth = more tiles worked...

I've heard you should do it right after you finish your 1st settler but wondering if it's better to adopt earlier and whip your 1st settler instead. Another thing I was thinking about is if you are going to build a settler at size 3 and only get a 1 pop whip, you may as well get bw early and get...

Didn't think this thread would still be going on a month after posting but here we are

Monarch to T160

T9-24

Dunno if anyone cares but I finally finished this game and got my first monarch win! Kinda over reacted in last post, I had a huge lead and somehow couldn't see that This army backed by bombers, sitting bull has no chance 60/64% gg :goodjob: Thanks to everyone that helped, I...

T0-9

Is that a 2:hammers: capital? I didn't know that, that would be the best move then

Hi, I've been playing a bit of emperor and it's quite fun! I can do fairly well and feel like I can make good decisions early game but then fall behind in midgame, just like in my genghis game. Balanced, standard size, no huts/random events Playing as Justinian (wanted to random until I got a...
