Discussion thread - How are is the economy different in LOR.
Is a specialist economy as viable?
Also, take a look at this game http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=178607 - a very clever way of getting a nice victory on Immortal without using any cottages at all.
In my opinion this game is a good advert for LOR as is it very linear in progression – expand – expand – expand. LOR adds so many new concepts particularly with the revolutions, in my opinion there is no way you could play that game the same with LOR.
Revolutions make it harder to keep a large empire without revolts, Early domination is virtually off the cards.
Later civics give greater stability and help keep revolutions down. It all points to cottages, emancipation and universal suffrage as being the best option.
Has anyone had any luck in successfully holding a large empire and running a SE?
