If you ever see the arabs in a game...

i find the arabs to be aggressive without base. transparent insecurity, their expansionist trait gives them false hope

they're poor at expansion, poor at building. in the hands of the AI, they are poor at warring. cheap temples are no respite for them.

ansars are the only reason to play as them.

For me, Ansars are Death. Any Cav UU scares me- I usually gain my (coastal) land early on, surround with fortresses, and then destroy the AI on my continent so I can use Dromons.

Cavs, especially the chivalry UUs, just mince my defences and force me to use (shudder) knights.

Any tips for the Inca. (I know) They are always a pain in the @$$ in my games, and it pisses me off. They always do that. ALWAYS!

My best advice is to take a horde of units and attack their border cities. Advance slowly, and defend you gains and gradually weaken them.

Inca? Use naval landings on their coast and attack from land as well.
They retreat their fast units (chasqui, horse etc.) and only leave slow units to fight on the main front. After that it is easy enough if you have enough catapults/trebs.

as long as they don't declare war early on you, the inca aren't a problem. their free warriors are a constant hassle

once you hit the middle ages they lose steam. unless they're sitting on 10 plus cities, they won't go anywhere.

and if they are sitting on 10 plus cities, you can use them to beat up on an AI

They are like all Expans Civs. Rubbish unless they have a huge population base and a good tech lead.

Rub your hands with glee. Especially if playing as Aztecs.

Don't ask me why, I just love the Aztecs in C3C

just kill them off as soon as possible, and the pain will go away.

 

[OblivionsCall]

Yeah it always make me scoff when a civ that is nowhere near as powerful as me suddenly demands something outrageous.

I usually take that as a sign they want me to end it all

But for the longest time I had a thing for playing as Lincoln (hmm wonder why) but I eventually realized the UU was dumb being so late in the game and these forums actually made me realize how mostly useless Expansionist is.
