Yikes.
I see how that could be a complication.

True, but you are diverting their troops away from your own border at the same time.
Why stick to flying in just one unit? And why bother with shipping mil-units, once you can fly them? (And also, why suffer the expense/ pollution/ game-slowdown caused by building more Airports than you need?) If you have multiple mostly-idle Slaves on your home Continent, don't just build one Airfield in your core, build one per core-city!When I go to invade the other continent, I put another slave worker in one of the slots in my galleons / transports. After my troops have landed and weathered the AI's initial counterattack, the slave goes out and builds an airfield next to my beachhead city. Now I can fly in one unit (usually infantry, sometimes cavalry) each turn, every turn, while my navy returns for refills.
You can see what the best players do, here...Or maybe all the good players just focus on domination wins?![]()
At one point -- shortly after ABLES SG, IIRC -- I did actually write such a text doc (mainly for my own purposes) about Space Race wins. I don't have it on my desktop box, so (assuming I still have it) it's most likely on my XP-laptop: if you're interested, I'd be happy to dig it out and upload it.As I enter the Modern Era in my latest game, pursuing yet another SS victory, it occurs to me that I haven't seen anyone list the best/recommended/optimal order for researching the required techs to build the SS. I'm thinking about writing a mini-guide that describes my thoughts, but I don't want to re-do work if someone has already done it. I didn't see a guide in the "Strategy Articles" forum, but I may not have looked far enough.

I haven't looked at it for a while though, and given that I was a relatively new graduate to Emp-level when I wrote it, it would probably need (a lot of) work to be useful as a Strat Article...
Found it. It's kind of didactic, and probably longer than it needs to be. It was also saved as an .rtf, not a .txt/.doc, so was not directly uploadable to CFC (not one of the permitted file extensions): for simplicity, I've re-saved it as a .txt, but the paragraph formatting may now be wonky (looks OK on my machine, but YMMV...).That would be helpful! I've got a Excel sheet that I've used to sort some data, and I'm doing some playtesting to check my recommendations. But I'm playing at a lower difficulty level, so some input from an Emperor-level player would be welcome.
