Hey,
My first post on this forum, nice to meet you all.
Im asking for help here. I find myself helpless this once.
I am playing on Monarch difficulty, with 16 opponents and huge map. It should be piece of cake for most experienced players. However, im having hard to time to adapt to a huge map.
Sorry about the picture, i am not sure if it works. I will try to upload more in a while if it works. If it doesn't i'd appreciate if somebody told me how to make it work properly.
So here's the deal. Im surrounded by 3 gigantic states.
-Julius with 2 vassals and numberless army of war-elephants. I expect him to upgrade any moment. He is saving up money and military tradition is already spreading around the globe. I've seen his armies a few years back when i had open borders. He has the biggest military in the map and his golden age gave him a boost in power. See the power graph.
-Brennus, my old petdog. I made him a monster by bribing him to attack everybody on the map. Former great states vassalized to him. He seems weak but thats only becouse of constant waring. He has lost a great deal of units, but there's no doubt that he'll be upgrading and his score rising like a rocket. He just my vassalized the rest of remaining world, including my neighbour. He is at peace now, with just small bugs left to fight him. My wild guess is that he'll be the leading AI in the next 100-200 years alongside with Julius.
-RamessesII. I beat the hell out of his vassal, Mansa Musa within 5 turns of war. Brennus took his attention while i captured Malinese empire. The war between the egyptians and the Celts was just shorter than i expected. Peace was declared after half a dozen of turns. Heavy fighting reduced the strenght of both. Suddenly one of the strongest computers, and my friend(Wang Kong) vassalized to him without a fight. He is too distant and powerful for me to attack him. He is angry at me, and there's no way im going to make benefit of his lands without getting the romans on my back. I can't bribe him to attack others, either.
Conclusion: The stronger my rivals became, the less they liked me. I feel Romans breathing my back. I can feel sneak attack in my bones any turn. Emancipation and war with alexander has made my cities vulnerable. My military is pathetic, compared to the lead i had, and have. All the AI's here are recovering from war right now. They might look weak, but within a handful of turns they will all become fearsome foes. Biology was researched around 1000-1050 AD. It's an easy map. I've turned it like this myself by playing like a moron. I feel WEAK! What should i do?
Thanks in advance. To make it less complicated for everybody I will try to upload images. Hope it works.
Edit: Here are more pictures.
The world:
My Civics
Border with Julius. Next to him my vassal Alexander. His powercul culture works as a defensive fort against the Romans.
My southern empire, surrounded by the Chinese vassal of the Romans.
My eartern empire, surrounded by the french(Vassal of Julius), Isabella and the Celts. Last two form a team.
My Capital. It can reach up to around 200 beakers a turn, at best.
Tech Tree
And finally, the diplomacy screen.
I know it's a bit unclear, but it pretty much explains why the first world war is on sight. About the cash situation. I will be able to raise emergency money from the AI's to run my economy for fairly more than 15 turns. After that, I don't know. Maybe by capturing cities.
Switching to slavery and nationhood would be bring me commerce, whipping and drafting possibility in the cost of science. Using the money tiles instead of specialists would bring me little money, it's definitely the last choice. I have no idea which cities should draft, i've never draft before. God i suck
Thank you for your time.
