Recently I played some games on Earth18 map and, despite I heard Qin is very powerful on this map, I was a bit disappointed when I played as him.
Eventually I won the game, but the beginning wasn't as easy as I thought.
He has a lot of good land and lots of resources, but there aren't early "happy" resources,
only the ones unlocked by Calendar, so I had some problems to deal with unhappy citizens.
Any suggestion? Early religion are founded always far away and it takes a while before one spreads to me, Monarchy is usually out of my research path (Food techs, Bronze, Pottery then beeline to Currency and Code of Laws).
Besides, I think I misplaced my cities, too many resources, so you need to found cities on top of them.
Can someone show me a good dot map for optimal placement of chinese cities?
Finally a need also a hint about military strategy: After Code of Laws,
my goal was Machinery to unlock chinese unique unit and I used them to attack Mongols first and then Japan, but I had some bad luck against Keshiks and Japanese protective Archers (Toku hadn't longbow...), the war was quite hard and I lost many units.
I went after them first to eradicate them before moving my SOD toward Asoka,
but maybe it wasn't a good idea.
What do you think about Qin on Earth18 map?
EDIT: I change my question because it was not clear.
