I have given up on Prince level because the end game is so easy its boring.
But I am finding King level so hard it is not really enjoyable.
My first problem with king level is I have to play aggressively. At prince level I won most games without starting any wars and in some cases without fighting any wars at all. I have tried playing king level this way and it is hopeless; i, 2 or 3 of the AI civs get massively ahead in every respect and there is no way I can win.
But if I play aggressively I find that I just end up razing almost all the cities I conquer because there is no way (even with a governor and a garrison) of holding onto them. I hate razing cities - it is not the way I want to play this game!!!
I desperately need someone to explain how to play aggressively and actually keep hold of the cities I conquer.
As it stands:
playing passively is hopeless
playing aggressively is pointless
!!!
