I'm currently playing right now (I have it minimized). I was inspired by Kan's stories to give it a go again. I'vr also got more patience than I did last time I tried it out.
I'm half following Kan's open moves from his AAR so I have a rough guide on what's not a completely stupid move.
My question is this: Does anyone speed up the time and play with it a lot? I was trying to just play with it on normal speed and it was decent until all my troop movements were done. Then all I was doing was watching my production timers get lower and my techs get higher.
What else is there to do in the mean time? Diplomacy? I've never really messed with it that much in previous games but i'm willing to give it a try in this one. Is it worth it to do much besides the major events?
Is there a way to train your troops? Like as if they had experience?
I'm drawing a blank for all my other questions I had except for the one where I ask how you get to those snazzy graphs Kan had that shows the top 10 (I imagine the game shows all countries). I founds the stats tab but there's nothing really like what Kan showed.
EDIT Question: All these trade deals I keep getting offered ... Should I be accepting them, denying them or playing each one by ear? Some games have useless options and i've been getting enough of them to wonder ...
Thanks,
Steve.
