Hey guys, I'm pretty new to civ5, I have played civ3 a LONG time ago but I was too young to understand all the strategy and stuff and I just didn't enjoy the whole game as it is.
Now I'm back to civ, and, as a lover of strategy, I'm loving the game. I've played a couple of single player games in Prince, and it's not hard at all. I have some help from a friend, who's more experienced than me, but not an awesome player. I believe he's in Emperor level, or something like that.
So, not many singleplayer games, but almost ten multiplayer games. We're always playing: me and 2 friends. 2 of us are bad (me included) and 1 is better.
What's happening is: In every game, the AIs start balanced with us, then in the mid game we steamroll over them (except 1 of us, who plays a bit worse), and then the game becomes almost a 1v1 of me vs my friend. Then, when the lategame comes, he always wins.
I've already tried domination victory through liberty several times, but he outplayed me militarly and scientificaly. I've already tried science, same thing. Diplomatics using tradition were ok, but in the late game he was just SO STRONG that by the time I finished the 4th SP branch he had over 2 times my points and a way too strong army.
So, I'm here looking forward to learning, I'll begin playing some singleplayer games, trying to get to higher levels, and want general tips of strategy and how to choose victory condition, wonders, how to manage gold, how should I manage my citizens (I never put manually).
Also would be great to have some advice about nice guides (not basic guides, please, something more intermediate/advanced). I'll see if I post some games I play here so you can tell me what I'm doing wrong and right.
Thanks!
