An idea.

Swords are a lot more effective than archers.

On deity, the AI will have lots of spears in their cities.

There is lots of time until we get the tech to have our UU.

Therefore, I suggest we go with a warrior/sword upgrade program unless we don't have iron nearby. We will have lots of good production cities later on to pump out the 20-50 archers we will like to upgrade at that time (money depending of course).

Swords are also usefull as they have some defensive abilities as well. And remember, when you upgrade that super experienced archer, guess who looses all the experience and get to be a veteran and not an elite with GL possibilities? Whereas a sword is strong enough to kill a pike or even a weakend musket and keep itself alive to generate that GL.

I recomend a sword campaign until we are about to change eras, when we begin a massive construction program.

I thouhgt that we'd need to attack sooner rather than later. It would take a bit of time aquire IW. If we produce a bunch of Warrior's with no Iron nearby, we are doomed. The Archer rush is a better bet seeing how close the Ottomans are.

Swords could be use on our next target, if Iron's around for us.

hi ,

we should not waste our time on a large bunch of warriors , .....

have a nice day

I'm with BigFree on this one. Archer rush. If we wait for swordsmen - well, the wait will be too long. This is deity. We are militaristic. Let's rock.

And this from the founder of the Havamal - the party of faith and knowledge. Pump out those archers!

[Jethro83]

While swordsmen are more effective in battle than archers, there will be a longer wait to build them, as they are more expensive.

Since this is Deity, and we'll need a large military VERY quickly, I have to agree that archers are the way to go.

[Donegeal]

WAR Party members go check out the city-placement thread and poll! The tight (one tile placement) plan (that would be A.3 Other listed below on the poll) will allow us to pump out Archers/Spearmen in three turns and Swords in 5. The one tile placement will allow us to build the most units in the shortest amount of time.

For those that don't like close cities, just remember that if we build at one tile spacing, it will be easier to re-arange later than two tile spacing.

[Zero]

in deity, ais star out with some ynits,

rushing an ai is not possible. archer or swords.. either way we have to build considerable amount.

[Panag]

hi ,

we should have a couple berserkers to protect those archers and to stand up against whatever else they might have , .....

we should also start to put a couple gold a turn away for them up^grades , .....

have a nice day
