So I bought Civ V recently during the Steam sale. I have never really plated any of the CIV games before as I tended to lean more towards an RTS.
That said, I played a MP game against a group of 3 friends (who thinks he is a genius at all games). The "genius" managed to beat us in Game 1 using France and basically going straight up the Culture ladder. He basically out wondered everyone and was mocking us horribly saying it was impossible to beat. We played on Prince difficulty.
The second game I slowed him down some as the Egyptians but all in all once again I did not have what it took and he ran away with it. Keep in mind I have never really played the Civ series of games so I feel like I am a little behind the learning curve here.
While I would love a basic turn by turn method of shutting his mouth, I am content taking hints, or a basic do X, Y, & Z out of the gate to slow him, then S, T, & U to make it last..etc.
Any thoughts on this?
