Ratboy to empire a short guide to the Neutrals
======================================================
This guide depneds on two incidents:
1. The Axis MUST capture Amsterdam
2. The Axis must sign a peace treaty
Yeah so now what you say. Let me warn you right here that it is a hard frustrating road to being awsome. Let me also tell you that it is impossible to get a great score so just play for the fun.
Act one step one: Take your three partisans and quickly move them down the French/Axis border (slightly inside the Axis border) south. Then cut out to the Atlantic ocean and huge it and continue going south. Take your troops into northern Spain. Place your troops on the hill near the small (4) northern costal town. When they tell you to go away tell them to suck on a log. You should easily take the town.
Act one step two: The allies should start bombarding costal cities. Build a rifleman in the town and send your troops anywhere on the peninsula to capture towns once they are empty. For some reason the fighter jets should leave you alone. (Side note: build a settler and send it to the Pakistan region, more later. Make sure you do not lose any other cities while doeing this) When you have a rifleman in each of your former Spanish cities send 4-5 partisans to attack Madrid. Carefully capture it. This will split the country into two (not a civil war just geograpically). Then the rest of the country (besides north africa) should soon fall to you.
What to do and not do as the Neutrals:
1. Do not depend on the current diplomatic state of Europe. There posistions will constantly change toward others and you. You will have a hard time in diplomacy for a long time because you attacked Spain. Spot hostilities and the end of cease fires early.
2. YOU ARE A BAND OF REBELS. Do NOT try and build much of a regular army even defense just build partisans until I say so.
3. Build minimal city improvements.
4. Try to keep the Allies on the good side they will save your butt sometimes.
5. Squize all of the technologies out of the Allies you can get.
6. Your mission is the expansion and survival of your country do not spend a lot of money on research you will allways use primitive technologies. THis is a reason for the gurrila warfare tactics. Instead you must be smart, spot oppertunities and outsmart the computer
7. As soon as you can switch to FUndimentalism (this will and can not happen for a while but it is VERY benificial)
8. Hang on to cities with virgor and try to retake them. I personally lost my ROmanian city.
9. Make Madrid your capital
10.Build airports inthree key cities, spain sweden, and middle east
11. NEVER BUILD A NAVY UNTIL I SAY so.
Act Two part one: Make your far east city crank out settlers and start colonizing the pakistan region. Once the cities are a 4 pop. make them build settlers. Keep doing this all game long and eventually imrpove the land and build a road to your original city(build the airport there). Do not worry about heavily defending your cities no one is over there.
Act three part one: The french will probably attack you. In fact at one time every country will most likely attack you. Defend defend defend. If one of your cities is captured retake it, in fact it is a good thing because you instantly get partisans.
Act three part two: Start modernizing you army by building tanks and transports. If you want you can capture north africa. IN 1956 most countries will have forgotton your treachery. *(see note) Build city improvements durning this ten year prosperity. Start building partisans, galleons, and tanks. Build a fignhter force of about 7 fighters and move them into the mediterianian and make sure that the one Ally island you have under your control. IN a few years go over when the Allies are your allies
and capture turky. It isn't hard just send some troops over. NExt take over sweden with tanks when the axis declare war on you.
I stopped shortly after that, I would recomend attacking france next, but carefully they have a huge navy.
* THis is also because your empire is now pretty big. THis is becuase of of conquest and your building of cities in Pakistan. See.. there was a reason for that.
-----------------------------------------------
my stats: 94 units, 33 cities, dead turks spansih, year 1962 ended, 8,150,000 people, total city pop 206.
-----------
your small puny cities has grown into an empire. You took a cizillization that was doomed to death and with three troops made it a one to recon with. Good job.
Please give me feed back. You can rate this advice from 1-10 if you like. Thanks for reading this.
