On MP you could team up with with another player and donate each other some obsolete units -- this is allmost an exploit. Havent' got PTW yet, so this is only speculation......

I think that 2 or 3 humans playing against against any number of AIs is almost a certain win for the humans if they cooperate. Of course, one way to look at that is "payback" for all the anti-human AI behaviour in SP.

3. Build barracs in city nearby for recovery.
5. Use artilly & fast unit to eliminate defender.
6 Use the elites on weak units only, when You get a GL, use it ASAP (and meanwhile use the factory to promote veterans).
7. Never leave elite unit to the unprotected (plains) square, leave the last enemy in stack if You do not have a fast unit.

factorys upgrades vets to elites?! or am i misreading?

I think he was using the word "factory" to mean a system for making GLs, not the city improvement.

hi,

I'm playing conquests as Japanese and having thiss issue:
First I got scientific leader and used him to hurry up a great wonder. Then after some turns, I had 2 militaristic GL, but none of them had the icon "hurry up".
I'm afraid, that the next militaristic GL will have the same issue. Does anybody knows why is this happening?
thanks.

In conquests only the scientific leader can hurry wonders.

thats correct...

 

[chronos88sk]

that's strange.
I was playing one week ago as Persian, and I was able to hurry up production with militaristic leader. My oponents were Ottomans, Arabs and Zulu.
In current "japanese" conquest, my oponents were India and Koria, China is still in game

A military leader can hurry production, but not of Wonders. Only a scientific leader can hurry Wonders.

Welcome to CFC, by the way. But it's better to post questions in the main Creation and Customization forum rather than in a thread that no-one had posted on for two and a half years...

yo, thank you
I though, it would be better to post my question in a thread that is about GL's.
I use hurry up mode only for wonders (great and small), anything else could be bought.
So I'm pretty sure that I hurried up a wonder with a militaristic leader, but I'm not sure if it was great or small.
