The AI will attack the closest easiest target.ġ2. However make sure you have at least one unit in each of your cities. I can't count the games I've won where it's 1800 AD and I still only have a single warrior in my capital. Don't waste your time building armies where you don't need them. +2 production in every city, or a great person, or 1+ population in every city is way more useful than a 'free canon' miles from where you're fighting.ġ1. It also means that AI will build units rather than building, which give you an advantage.ġ0. That means they will attack you with a continuous stream of weak units rather than lots all at once later. Also, if an AI is weaker than you try and stay at war with them. If you need to fight the AI then just 'change governments' for a turn. Don't wait too long to become a democracy. My person favorite is stealing a culture great person from an AI - then using him/her to convert the city you just kidnapped them from.ĩ.

Get writing first so you get a free one and steal the first one to crop up on the map. In particular, make sure you steal the AIs great people. Using spies is often more effective than using armies. You want to get at least 3 of 5, and especially Atlantis. Finding artifacts early in the game is the difference between winning and losing. Having two horsemen (or a horseman army and a warrior) on a hill nearby is a great way to score a free settler.ħ. Around 2000BC - 500BC the AI will come trundling out of their capital with a settler guarded by often only a single archer (and later an army). It's much easier to take enemy settlers than it is to take enemy cities. Focus on trade buildings second, then production third.Ħ. 99% of the time the player winning the game is the player with the highest population in their capital. Work to stack a granary with an aqueduct with a great humanitarian. Maximize population growth however you can. If you have three cities producing 30 beakers, you need three universities to get 90 beakers.ĥ. If you have one city producing 100 beakers then you build one university will give you 100 beakers. That's not to say that you shouldn't have ten, just only put your money into 1 or 2. It's much more useful to have 1 or 2 very powerful cities than 10 weak cities. Remember that it's much easier to produce 500 gold than 100 hammers.Ĥ.
Plenty of Ocean is good, as a harbor + East India will make sea very productive. Put them somewhere with lots of food and trade, and just a few hammers. Also, you want 60% or more of the Barbarian villages (another reason why Aztecs rule).ģ. Perhaps you may even consider moving your initial settler closer to an AI to 'arrange' this to happen. If the AI starts very close, you may be able to walk into an undefended capital between 34 BC. If you start with cash (Aztec, Americans) then spend it on warriors. It also means you can immediately hit the barbarian villages when your first warrior pops.Ģ. Not only is there a useful 'specialty' square underneath, but you also start with a militia that you can use to explore. In the best-case scenario you may have 50+ gold already by 3900-3800 BC.īelieve it or not, it's a great strategy to build directly next to barbarian villages. Secondly, you may find either an exploration cash square or a 'happy village' very close to where you start. Generally, I try and get a least 2 and hopefully 3 or 4 specialty square within reach of my capital. Marble and game are also favorites for me. The difference between a good and a great city is often the presence of a couple of special squares, especially fish or whales.
Don't just build where your settler starts! Save 4000BC, have a look around, then load.
