So I recently picked up Civ II again (MGE). Most of the players on this board are far beyond my skill level... I played Chieftain-Prince before I found these boards. After I discovered Apolyton a couple years ago, I won a space race or two on Deity, mostly due to good starting positions and perfectionist play. It seems that both my conquest skills and a couple other intermediate talents are lacking. Searching the GL, I could not find much in terms of strategy for the following questions:
1) How do you establish ourself defensively, especially early game? Specifically, how many/what type of defensive units in cities, y/n on city walls, and what units should I have outside of cities?
2) What percentage of the time is any given city pumping out a caravan? This board places huge emphasis on trade, but I can't seem to find the right balance between no 'vans and all 'vans.
Any other helpful tips would be appreciated as well.
