Ok, I've followed a lot of the strategies and tips that many have thankfully provided in these forums. However, I can never seem to find a clear path to victory at Warlord level (I'm a newbie).
First of all, the German civ is ALWAYS ahead of everyone in the technology race. They have the most advanced units, and LOTS of them. It usually maintains a 600-700 point lead well into the 1900s. I've tried a few of the slingshot tricks to get ahead early, and they usually work. However, as the game goes on, I always get behind. I've built libraries, observatories, and academies. I've also tried the cottage route.
Another thing that bothers me: I pick a weak neighbor to attack in the hopes of gaining more land for a Domination victory. Well, that weak civ just so happens to have a defensive pack with a powerful neighbor. Oops! Now I have units attacking from all directions. I know I should have checked the dipomacy before attacking, but I don't always think about it. After all, I was at war with the same civ a few turns earlier before we agreed to a Peace Treaty.
Any advice? A domination victory would be nice.
