noble help

[Krick19]

Okay, well recently I got BTS and I reinstalled civ 4. I started playing on Noble and I haven't gotten a great start yet until today.I am Darius of Persia. I pulled a successful axe rush on hattie and then an immortal rush on Pericles. Now I have a couple questions. Is it a good start? And if it is, what should I do next?

gold + gems + iron + cows + flood plains + grassland forests in the capital BFC?

Never seen that

next? Improve, improve, improve! your capital is working 4 (FOUR!) unimproved flood plains, at a moment where it should be the backbone of your civilization before you arrive at civil service; if feel you're wasting a great opportunity here if you don't cottage your capital quickly.

Improve land, build military (everything's dead it seems), build courthouses, expand, rinse and repeat; if no one is in your way, expand; if someone is in your way, expand. Well, easy plan

Lol, thanks for the input. I was like about to do all of that, but I saw iron and I just had to rush Hattie.

Put everything on autoplay overnight, check the replay of your win in the morning

Autoplay? How do you do that?

 

[oyzar]

you don't. However a rush doesn't mean you should neglect workers...

You axe rushed Hattie? Poor Hattie... what did she ever do to you?
