Hiya!
I am sure that this has been discussed at nauseum but I found myself in a specific situation. So I wanted to share and get any opinions on how you would have handled it.
I am aware of (I think) all the ways to gain loyalty in the early game (Ancient / Classical Eras) - Garrison unit, Policy card, governor.
When I found Teddy as Nubia I immediately beelined to him with 3-4 Nubian Archers and 3 warriors. They had no walls and I easily took the the first two cities of his 4 city empire. However, I could not keep the cities due to loyalty. It would turn within 5 turns and bought enough time to slowly twiddle me down.
I ended up reforcing my troops but I did not play this war right at all. I ended up losing troops due to mismanaged micro and macro. This mostly was because I did not know what I should do in the situation. Go straight to the highest pop city and start there? There wasn't any walls this early so I'm thinking that should have been my play....but I don't know, it's just a guess.
Any insight or information you can point me to to help in this situation would be appreciated. I attached a screenshot of Teddy's layout so you can see exactly what I was dealing it. For reference I took out New York > Charleston > Washington. They all rebelled in 3-5 turns with a garrison unit and a gov. I tried to just deal with the rebel units and leave the cities, but yeah....mistakes were made on my part.
It was a fun though and hopefully I can learn from it which is why I'm making this post. I'm not a civ noob but I normally stayed around prince / king difficulty. Recently I have been trying to get better at the game and playing on higher difficultly. I believe this game was on Emperor difficult.
Thanks all
