I've searched the forum and read several threads but after all I thought that having my own wouldn't be so bad.
So yesterday I played Tokugawa/continents/monarch. Obviously lost. Now I want to give it another try.
So at my disposal was a big continent with pretty good terrain. One half of the continent (where I started) was covered with a lot of forest, grassland and some rivers with floodplains and another half was pretty much desert.
Resources:
1. lots of silk (like 7-8 tiles)
2. 1 gems (on the desert side of the continent)
3. some copper and iron
4. 1 deer, some cows, pigs, horses
5. some seafood
no marble or stone
I think I could have had maybe 10 or more good cities. And I had them but probably just didn't manage them properly.
In the game by the time I met AIs I found myself far behind in development and when I had optics/paper/philosophy somebody already got Liberalism.
So I have 2 main questions:
1. Strategy. How to develop? Cities, city builds, techs, wonders, anything?
2. How to handle the barbs? In the game I tried to fogbust everything as soon as possible but now I'm thinking that maybe it slowed my development.
