I have an issue. Whenever I play on noble difficulty, I just can't seem to cut it. I can't seem to build settlers fast enough at the start. If I do build lots of settlers, I get fenced in too quickly to settle them. I can't warmonger very well at the start because production isn't high enough to quickly build units. So, I get about 4 cities settled, and by then I'm fully crowded by the AI on most occasions. I can get alphabet first and trade techs alot, but then I have a ton of techs and a huge to-do list production wise. Anyway, enough rambling.
On noble difficulty, as the french (creative/industrious):
about how many spaces apart do you tend to spread your cities?
On a continental/pangea map, how do you produce a military and/or pump out enough settlers quickly enough to avoid getting fenced in at the beginning of the game?
What size do you let a city grow to before building settlers/workers?
I use the automated functions for my workers. Is this bad on noble difficulty? Also, in the options menu, you can choose wether or not workers will build over pre-existing units. -IF- you choose to automate your workers, is it better to allow them to do that, or not?
For great people: when is it best to use a great person as a super specialist vs the one time boost? Example: academy vs. points towards technology for scientists
