Hi,
I am trying Spain atm, emperor level
I am thinking of 2 approaches:
1) Rush optics, conquer aztecs easy, incas more tedious. Hopefully get astronomy before 1500 (Netherlands spawn) to found 1st city in america. My problem here is the horrible tech rate due from having many crappy cities and never ending hordes of barbs that keep those aztecs cities from becoming any good ones.
2) Will try this one now. Rush Optics, get the conqueror events, but dont cap any aztecs/incas untill late 1650 to avoid getting crap tech rate. Main goal is preventing another civ to get the small conqueror armies. Tech rate should be better to get astronomy in time: Galleon+settler at around 1500 i think.
Any other ideas/Strat?
Also whats the best city setup as Spain?
2-3 or 4 cities in Spain?
And which location/city spots should i go for?
Should i raze lissabon?
All help welcome! thx
