Hello ladies and gentlemen,
Lately I tried the SE for the first time in my civ4 career (as the random leader was a philosophical one). Im starting to see why a SE can work pretty good, I think I just won the race for liberalism, by bulbing my ass off. Im about to complete Liberalism and I can use some advice about where to go from here. I followed the main things to do when running a SE so I guess it went pretty ok (it surely must have, cause I won the race for Lib on Immortal
).
But I can use some advice on which directory to go. I feel like Im gonna fall behind soon as the big AI's are gaining while Im standing still and thus am becoming more and more a little boy amongst these guys. My SE will prolly fail in the near future (though representation might give it a little boost for a while to come) and my Crop yield and Production suck, so I gotta make a move, but Im not entirely sure which one.
If someone finds it fun to check my save and give feedback on my SE and on what further to do I would appreciate it.
My plan is to take Gunpowder for some Janissaries (and GG's) and attack Peter, but his land is crappy so whats there to gain. France might be nice to take on since hes at constant war with Mongolia but it might be suicide to DoW on France, its way more powerful than I am and Russia might stab me in the back, also France might prioritize me over Mongolia in which case I prolly lose while Mongolia gains. Well you see, advice would be nice!
