Let's not forget our gameplan, and remember the mistakes we made before-
Plan- Make an army of hoplites if we don't have IW yet. Keep it at home until we have the hoplites to take it's place.
Play cautiously, meaning don't overexpand, it's a small continent, we'll have plenty of time after our enemy is vanquished. Of course if our economy is crashing from too many units, that's fine, but military is important. Also by cautious, don't aggressively attack a stray unit, even if they threaten an improvement. We could get a string of bad luck, we can't risk it.
Try and stay on the offensive with archers, keep on the pressure.
Any comments?
