I think I am just not understanding how to get ahead of the AI on Warlord (which is supposed to be easy). I just played a game all the way to the 1960's and found the Iroquois are way ahead of me despite them always declaring war on me. Finally I knew I was doomed when they sent three sets of fighters against me and I was 8 turns aware from the "Flight" tech. At that point, I threw in the towel.
It seems to me that it is critical to stay ahead of the enemy as far as tech goes. Yet, how do I know what research order is best? Hiawatha (Iroquois) keeps attacking me and then asks for peace after I hold him off. I seem to spend all my time and money building military units to defend myself yet Hiawatha seems to keep building out his kingdom and technology while attacking me at will.
I am also loss on how to manage City-States. When Hiawatha declared war on me, 6 other City-States joined in to attack me as well. How do you get City-States to trade with you and to enter into alliances with you?
I have no idea on how to proceed. Perhaps I am not understanding how to best manage the empire. I am thinking am abdicating my throne and handing it over to my brother despite his public speaking problems.
I think what I need is a primer on how to best survive in Civ 5. It seems so different than Civ 4 where I used to do fairly well. I should also note that I only play for domination victory. My favorite part of the game is strategic warfare. Any help would be most appreciated. Thanks.
P.S. Is there a chat or IRC channel where people talk about Civ? It would be great to ask questions LIVE.
