I am totally lame at this game. I did fine on the lower levels but I am stuck on noble. I've won a couple of games but most end in an AI attacking me and either wiping me out or undermining my progress to the point where another AI wins.
I've been trying to keep the AIs happy by watching the relationship, keeping religion the same or converting. I've even taken a bath on trades or given gifts to keep them happy. I won't trade a tech that progresses them TOO much but otherwise I have done what I can to keep them happy.
Just for fun I played a custom game with all Catherines including myself. I had them all happy and still one attacked me. She was even friendly with the negative modifier for being at war!
I'm guessing the AI attacks me in spite of being friendly because they are going for the conquest victory but it just seems so annoying.
Basically I go for the Catherine, spam cottages strategy. I build enough farms to keep the city happy. I used to have 2 cities spamming warriors or archers and sending them to the other cities which specialize in commerce or production. Lately I've been building troops in all cities (with barracks) because I keep getting attacked. I also usually ignore the religion techs at first so I can save converting to a religion to help with relationships.
I play great plains, standard or smaller maps.
Any comments that might help?
