Need some minor help regarding Indus Age on Emperor

[vmxa]

I did not go over this, just a light glance, but some points.

1) communism, why? You are faced with the classic communism problem. You have too small of an empire to make it useful and are tricked into building too many structures.

Income now 906, if republic 1439, enough said. I hate communal corruption as it just make lots of so so cities. I want a few strong cities and a few decent one and the rest can be crap.

It is not helping on WW as you have 50% lux to no avail in some cities.

2) the island, you do need to pop borders or plant more towns. You cannot have open area or someone will want to land a settler. I would have packed the island with lots ot towns that did nothing.

3) 12 workers? You have your land in good shape, but what about all that land you are trying to get? What about pollution? You have tons of factories and that is going to be an issue.

I had 36 workers and dropped them to draft out more Mech Infantry to defend my cities. Some of them I dropped before Communism simply because I had way too many units. Most of the land I'm acquiring is already roaded and Communism was giving me 200% along with replaceable parts so that influenced my decision as well. I agree I probably should have made some settlers but I was hoping to get fast growth and temples... Plus at the time I was at war with practically the whole world so I figured I would just kill whatever invaders there were.

And yeah I feel I really dropped the ball by switching to Communism and not using early wars to acquire more luxes such as the incense that probably could have been acquired, along with Ivory much earlier.


I'm sure you noticed my city placement also... Do you think it was good given the situations, or would you have spaced more loosely to acquire more territory early on?

Again thanks for the help. Getting better all the time.
