Hmm okay ill introduce myself. I've been playing civ-2 since it came out, and then heavily got into the Age of Empires series, totally dominating it in multiplayer. But now, I am tired of the AoE series, and seeing that civ3 was out, I bought it. 2 days later I was of course hooked. I've had it for about a week, and have my current civ..which is why I needed to talk to some of you. I'll give you the stats, then the problem. I have roughly 25-30 cities, generating 200 gold per turn...year 1850, democracy. Civ is Egypt, map Huge-World I started out in North America. Greece was the only other civ on that continent. Now my problem.
I am an economic type. I love to have an empire, build up its economy, and then dominate the world by it...which I did in civ2 and found that no one could stop me. But now, its not so easy. I can't take over Greece, who has California...and I have mexico, Quebec, and the rest of the US. I'll put 5 riflemen, 3 cavalry, and 2 cannons against his city (spearmen) and die. In AoE, certain units countered others. Pikeman against cavalry, archers against infantry, skirms against archers, etc. Is this the case for civ3? If so, is there a place on this website or somewhere else where I can find unit counters?
