Do you have a link please,

I don't know as this is the first console game I've played since playing "Dune" on a pc in 1993. I'm now trying to play at King level, I haven't had ANY success at all, I managed fine at the lower levels, There is no continuity between the low and high levels with regard to strategy, what...

I have lost twice at my first attempts at King level, this AI is really bizzare. I set out a perimeter on choke points and placed armies of archers and legions at the chokes, time is always of the essence, so by the time I figure that I have those choke points well defended, and...

Aden52, many thanks for your lengthy reply to my difficulties, much appreciated. This is my first console game ever. The first and only game I played was on a pc in 1993, "Dune", there are similarities, but strategy is totally different. To the op above; I don't think games are childish, I...

Fine, then how do you explain the fact that four Archer armies, one with with medic rights gets defeated by one pike offensive army ?, the Archer armies were in City, defending, this happened to me at "King" level. Besides, there isn't time to build up a force of a hundred tanks from king up...

So where, pray tell, is this documented ?, and how exactly does one "play the odds" to ones favour, is this witchcraft, a hidden skill ?,

Yes and my point is, these values which you so treasure are totally random and undocumented, so how the heck is one supposed to form any kind of strategy against a foe who always has the odds in his favour. are you a Firaxis dev in disguise, trying to prop up the game...

The manual that comes with the DVD is completely inadequate as an Tutorial, the game itself does have a tutorial, but it's somewhat buried and is completely inadequate for the higher level games, it's fine for the basics of controller and game basics but beyond that it's of no use. The tutorial...

after playing it for a while I don't like it at all, 1). It is illogical with regards to what unit can defeat another. It isn't documented anywhere that a Archer unit can shoot down fighters, how bizarre. 2). The tech tree becomes weird, i.e. if you have an advanced tech it offers you a tech of...

Is it just me that thinks the Map Zoom and Pan feature is crappola ?, I cannot zoom-out and pan without some serious roller coaster nauseating effects, and it doesn't really provide a decent overview of the surroundings. On more than one occasion I have had a city overrun because I couldn't...

I third your sentiments. also, The map zoom out is really crappola as one cannot zoom-out and pan without some serious roller coaster nauseating effects, and it doesn't really provide a decent overview of the surroundings. On more than one occasion I have had a city overrun because I couldn't...

I'm not enjoying this game at all, because of the odd logic which is employed in the above examples, additionally... 1). How can one have Tanks before gunpowder, I have tanks and it then says I can now make cannons, huh?, what kind of logic is that?. 1a). I have Cruisers and it asks me if I...
