Thx for the guide.
My last 2 games were focused on Warmongering to get as many Generals as possible. Turns out quite effective. I just got Rifling and 2 of my cities can produce units with 11 experience!
In that case, the upkeep cost of my army is minimal because I need much less units and still be effective. Also, considering my main goal is Combat Experience, pillaging far enemies is now worth it.
any thoughts?
