Always War Strategy

[Gooblah]

Any tips? I'm playing an Emperor/Marathon OCC-AW as Charlemagne. I landed a coastal capital with Copper, Corn, Gold, Fish, and Clams, so not bad. Lots of hills and forests and on a stub of land. Lack of natural chokepoint is a pain, but whatever.

When should I go on the offense? Should I? Or is it better to just sit and wait for the Space Age to come along and then blast Space Ship parts?

I'm guessing that the GW is a must. It's probably good to build on a hill too. I think that there was a guide about OCC and winning the space race somewhere. That will probably give you some ideas.

Not exactly advice, but there are two succession games with always war that can help you:

Always War (on Emperor)

Always War 2 -- Immortal Trial

And, of course, the two king of the hill:

King of the hill - open challange for all playlevels

King of the hill 2 - open challange for all playlevels This second one scared everyone off.

If you're going for a space race, watch out for nukes. AW + nukes = game over man, game over!
