In the beginning...

[Dodge_272]

Just got the complete edition and I'm playing the Rhyse extended mod.

I'm a bit lost as to what to do in the opening moves as it seems the AI civs get things up and running alot quicker than I usually do.

What do you do in the beginning, is basically what I am asking.

What level are you playing at? If you are just starting out with the Complete Edition, you might want to try a couple of games at the lower level of difficulty.

Hit the War Academy & look for "Cracker's Opening Plays." It's a great article.

Just a thought, but I would not start out with a massive mod, like Rhy. Play a couple of std map games at warlord and get comfortable with the mechanics and tactics. Then go for a mod.

Cracker's article is a good start place. Read some SG's at lower levels, training ones would be best. Just the early part of the game to see what is done.
