I'm feeling dense and thick headed. What works at Emperor and above? Assume: 8 civs and barbs.
Things I have tried without success:
1. building 5 cities and then military with research low
2. building 8 cities and then military with research low
3. archer rush with 15 archers
4. horse rush with 20 horse
Problems:
A. AI goes for Monarcy and Swords first
B. By time I have some military I am usually 8-12 techs behind
C. My military gets creamed by medieval infantry
D. Usually have to pay protection to 1 or 2 civs before get military built up.
Starting capital build sequence:
1. city by water
2. warrior
3. warrior
4. barracks/granary
5. settler
continue warrior/settler build loop until 5-8 cities
add temple
build military units
City spacing 3-4 tiles. About 1 worker/city.
Ideas will be appreciated.
