The Khan only heals adjacent units when they would ordinarily heal. Having better units than your enemies will help you tremendously. Generally, you need good science for domination games. Roads cost 1 gold per tile, so only connect trade routes if the city's population is at least as many tiles as the road would need to be. It isn't as important in domination games, but it's still important. The key to high gold, production, and science is big cities, which means lots of food. You CAN'T buy tiles more than 3 tiles from the city.ģ.
However, a luxury outside that range will still give you happiness, and you can use a strategic resource outside that range (or sell it). Yes, tiles more than 3 away from the city don't produce hammers, gold, etc. Most buildings Medieval Era and later have at least one specialist slot.Ģ. Go to the city screen, and click the "slot" next to the building you want a specialist in. Huns do well with Honor, but the Germans are actually better suited for Tradition.ġ. Is there a time when it would be better to make a puppet? Personally I do not see the point.Ĭlick to expand.Actually, Tradition is often better for warmongering, depending on when you attack. Never do I make a puppet, I annex 100% of the time. In addition, I was not even sure that my Khan (Mongolia's replacement for great general) was actually healing the units in the adjacent tiles like it was supposed to.įinally one more question. They will never leave me alone so I can slowly advance. I just quit the game, realizing I'd never be able to advance- some of those five would always be at war with me periodically. Then just as I was about to declare war on China, America and Sweden declared war on me. Then I got my troops ready to declare war on China (my only neighbor and she was also very weak with backward techs, a small army, and few cities). Then I declared war on the last city state within my vicinity and that was alright. I was able to hold out (barely) but by the time they made peace much of the game had passed and I had failed to advance.
I had defeated two city states, and then five civs at the same time decided I was being a "war mongering menace" and they all declared war against me. It seems Monglia's unique ability is useless (I was playing as them). This last game I played I could not win because other civs were always ganging up on me. Question 3: How do you all have so much gold, happiness, and production? I can never seem to have near as much of these things as many of you.Įven when I establish trade routes it seems to only do my currency more bad than good much of the time. Is this true? If so what is the point of buying the extra tiles? Question 2: I have heard that tiles more than three spaces away from your city do it no good unless it's a luxury or strategic resource. Question 1: How do I make a specialist in a city? Of course, even with Germany I can not always win. Barb units joining your side only make it better. Even without the panzer I do well with germany just because their unique pikeman is so cheap and you can spam it, and the reduced cost of gold maintenance to keep them. The huns are invincible with me in the early game, but Germany is solid throughout the game. I am probably best with Germany and the huns. I am a warmonger and always go with honor. Winning on any earlier difficulty setting is rather easy for me, but I can't seem toe advance from prince. I keep trying to win on prince and almost never do.
