Well so far things arent going so well. I got deleted starting area with limited room to build. So far i have horses and incense near me but nothing else. Down below me i have met the aztecs, iriquous and arabia. Arabia so far has plenty of room to build he just needs to clear away the jungle surrounding him.

I would like tips on what i should do. As far as im thinking now i want to go to war once i get as many cities i can get up in my area and go to war with arabia. I get immortals instead of swordsmen so i should take advantage of there bonus. What do you think?

Irrigate your starting peninsula and fill it up (not necessarily in that order). You might want more workers to do that, and to road through that WTH terrain.

EDIT: And barracks might help. (Meaning you need them)

yes irrigation=growth and you need the irrigation there looks like lots of plains. Great start though you've got the incense and the gold and the cows. Keep it up.

at least ur capitol is gonna be pretty well defended for a while, as long as you completely choke that peninsula

Well nothing amazing has happened since i left off. Im just here to give an update of what is going on and what my plans are. I have finished setting my borders and making most of my cities before i go to war. I have found all of the players on my continent. They are the Arabians(pink), Iroquois(purple), aztecs(green), and celtics(light blue) The iroquois have been threatening me lately with demands for techonology. They have access to iron, but luckily are blocked by pink. They have no room to expand anymore and in the near future will be obsolete. The arabians are doing okay, but they have no supply of iron. My plan is to take them out first since they will be no match for my immortals. The aztecs i consider my best friends on the island. They are decently large and have plenty more room to expand. They have no supply of iron. The celtcs are stuck at the bottom which is half snow. They have no where to expand, but do have supply of iron.

Ill let you guys know how the war is going. Leave any tips or comments.

I wouldn't build that Colossus if I were you and before going to war I would focus on infrastructure like roads so that you can pump the soldiers to the front line quickly.

Sorry to update when such little time has passed in the game, but i thought id let you guys know that i have declared war on the arabians and have struck them in the heart of their empire. I captured their capitol city right in the middle of their empire. My plans for the future is to conquer more land from them and then make peace. After that i will switch government to republic and start building librarys and market places. I just need a bit more room to grow first otherwise i would be at peace. Also where do you guys think i should put the forbiddon palace? Any tips would be appreciated. Also my immortals on the ss attacking mecca are in packs of 3 not 1.

Ok my only problem with your plan is: why would you take their capital and then more of their territory then make peace?!?! distroy them!!! if you make peace with them thats just one AI who will want to declair war on you. But if you distroy them theres no hard feelings between you and them CS THEIR DEAD!!!

I noticed that you were attacking with Regular Immortals. You should really try to concentrate your unit building to cities w/ barracks, as the troops dont go to waste. Do you even have any barracks?

 

[IPLAY4FUN]

I am currently building a couple barracks. They really arent needed cuz the arabians only have spearman and archers and they both get owned by regular immortals. I prefer to wait untill i get to republic to start making alot of buildings. On second thoughts i may just destroy them. They are such an easy target. Im about to stop making immortals cuz i have so many of them and the arabians have only killed 1 unit and ive killed about 7 of theirs.

 

[CoolioVonHoolio]

yess distroy them!!!

 

[Nate128]

Detsroy Them! I mean who doesnt love mass genocide, violence, and imperialism?

 

[IPLAY4FUN]

Time for an update. Since i have last spoken to you guys have have conquered 2 more arab cities and 1 iroquoi city. I have switched my government to republic and am now building lots of buildings. I have made peace with the arabians, but when the irquois built a city on an arab city i had just destroyed with furs in the area that i needed i was forced to go to war with them. I easily destroyed that city and conquered another one. The city to the far left was counter attacked. They have sent up about 8 mounted warrior within a few turns. Luckily its all mountain and jungle so they havent really been able to attack my immortals first. I can usually catch them first. I have only lost a few units within the fighting. Much of my continent people do not like me anymorem, but oh well soon they will all be destroyed. My plans for now is to weaken the iroquois and soon to go back to war with the arabians. I have found some islands to the north east witch i am expanding to currently. To sum things up everything is going well

The site currently wont let me upload pictures so i will have to get back to u guys on that.

OK so youve gone to war with the iroquois huh? that couldve been genius or suicide. unless your a better player the iroquois just might win agasnt you. for one they have the mounted warriors which i'd say are a match to you immortals. plus 2 AI are way better than one they could get other people agasnt you. but otherwise it looks like your the one in control!

 

[IPLAY4FUN]

Well since i was having such an easy time with the counter attack i decided to take most of my army somewhere else and capture another city. Well they just ended up comming with more men and recaptured the city, but i was able to capture the other city i had sent my army to. After this war weariness was going into effect so i had to make peace. I was able to get some money and another city from them. So now that im at peace and i try to make more buildings and the aztecs surprise attack me out of nowhere. They capture the city that i had just took from the iroquoi. I make a counter attack and recapture my city. I figure it is best if i just destroy the city cuz they are comming back with more men. After that i make peace with them and they give me money too. I fine that funny since he has a better army then me, but i aint gonna complain.
