Lets start a discussion on garrisoned units we keep in cities to defend the city from any invsions or just for pure military protection.
Pre-Hereditary Rule I usually only keep one archer, max two in any of my cities. Even with Aggressive AI on, at the Prince/Monarch level, early wars don't seem to happen too often unless I start them.
Post Monarchy for some reason [I'm guessing my roots in Civ 2/3] I usually keep about two archers in a city. But now im starting to wonder if I should keep more.
I'm trying to run an SE now so hopefully I can produce the Pyramids and get representation but if that doesn't happen, It's HR for a loooooong time. With that in mind, how many units do you use for garrisons? And what type?
I can see a major advantage of having two archers and maybe one axeman or spearman. I guess it really depends on the location and civilization, but I want to hear everyone sound off about how they use garrisons and how they compose them.
I also wonder because i'm wondering if when HR hits, I should be pumping out units and form a standing army but keep them in each of the cities in times of peace. So anyone who can contribute on the issue of garrison'ed units, post here.
