just finished a game on immortal - standard speed with Harun. i really had a wonderful start (desert, uluru 2 cities away - went straight for it) i rushed to camel archers, upgraded 3 chariots and bought 3 more and a pike (got some gold from wonder tools). went straight to theodora and conquered...

one merchant of venice and poof....instant army. my biggest luck was 2 trebuches, 2 pikemen, 3 xbows, 1 knight. throw in a couple of great galeases and you will be surprized about the results.

Don't fool yourself. You just said you re-rolled if a), b), c), d), etc.. You can win only in some conditions that give you the upper hand (as you described). Try to win when the odds are against you and then claim that playing Attila is "mindless". Just my 2 cents.

place the citadel where catherine's warrior is (buy a tile so you can do that). this way you will most likely be DOWed and you have a strong defence. Place a sword in the citadel and cover with 2 CB. the rest of your army should go for yakutsk and raze it so she wont have any iron. next take...

sorry, my bad... here are 2 saves so you can see what happened the saves. GW i was kind of forced to capture it because Austria was cutting me off if it got it. Yes on marathon you got more time but, so does the AI. At one point, Shanghai was surrounded by 10-12 Austrian units and i stayed 10...

here you can find my only single player game the game. as you will see, you can take the player having the great wall, but you need to be slick :). check out the citadel that allowed me to take the city within one turn. Austria was bombarding Shanghai and left it at 2-3 hp so i declared war and...

James, thank you for your welcome. I must agree we disagree :) Firstly, i told you that "AI will probably have the same units or their era equivalent" which means that if you have knights, it will probably have LS or viceversa. Not to mention that in 80% of the games i played i was behind...

i agree with you that you can do it with less units, but you will sometimes need to use the promotion for heal - which i rarely do (exceptions to this: the unit is a veteran - medic 2, range, logistics and so forth). The main reason is that i build a 6-7 unit veteran taskforce that enables me to...

Don't take this personal but, i don't understand why you call it a rush because the AI will probably have the same units or their era equivalent. You either go to war or you don't. This really depends on: - the civ you are playing - the neighbours you have - the position of your empire on the...
