So far I haven't been doing so hot in Noble setting.
first off I would like another view point on this: I have another civilization to my north on a little strip of the continent. I managed to make a border with my cities before they were even putting cities close to mine. As soon as they placed a city they declared war on me, and they were "pleased" with me. Hmmm.
On top of that, maybe I am doing something wrong here, but I try the early rush attack, send about 6 axemen to attack a city, I normally have 4 cities and going for a 5th at this point, and most Civs have 6+ cities, and my axemen die because their army is bigger than mine. Most situations my second city is built next to bronze and I start building units right away.
Anyways, on to the bigger question. I try and build both Great wall and Oracle and in most situations I can get them. However, because of the changes, I cannot beeline to Civil Service in over the past few days, only 1 game I was able to get civil service. Most situations I do not have the extra time to get math. It seems that Greatwall, stonehenge and oracle are the 3 normally build wonders asap. I have seen games where it's stonehenge first, or like the game last night, Oracle, Greatwall, Stonehenge.
So my question is, In noble+ what should i Oracle shoot for, if i build the oracle. I try and focus on Defense-Offensive-Beeline to Confusism (for courthouses).
also, in older games I use to only protect my cities with 1-2 units. Now with the recent updates to the AI/Combat seems that tactics is out the window and I am having issues tring to defense my towns. So any and all tips in this general area will be helpful also.
