Consider infinite queues for scholars/villagers/infantries which may save your time.

Consider infinite queues for some unit creations and other short cut keys that can be used for handy. Also consider nations weak resource to gather if possible but not always.But beware of doing this before russians.ĩ. This will hamper economy growth of oppositions. You can also use bombers when it is available. If you sight considerable military units vacate the place immediately. Dont go in fight with other military units. If you have some time, take some citizens. As soon as your objective is satisfied vacate the place immediately. Dont include slow moving units in this army. May be stable units untils bombers available. Army with units with good aglity is good for this purpose. Take as many economy buildings/citizens as you can as they are alive without losing them. Have a small army/create a small army with a general to take out enemy citizens/small resource buildings alone like mining camps,oil wells etc which are well outside enemy city/enemy defense.Similary take out fishing ships as well. Remember to take out the opposition general units first.Ĩ. Use spys to bribe enemy units in battlefield and convert important enemy units and use generals to create decoys every now and then, when crafts are available.Remember Spys can be attacked or seen by very few units. However the number of individual units depends on scenarios.

Army should be well rounded with all units including generals/spys/siege units/infantry. Otherwise it is a waste of huge resources. You ultimate aim should be to hold the city after attacking. When you attacking a city you must have at least plundered the city even in case you cannot hold it and attack should be brutal/well planned/full fledged. Dont perform a small attack except when it is used as a strategy. Except when you are going for expansion of your territory for economy always attack your opponents capital city as priority. Make sure all units are aligned before attacking.ħ. Army without generals can be dismantled quickly even they are in higher number especially in your territory with/without attrition damage. When opponent is attacking your city take out in order - generals, then supply wagons( if your are in friendly territory), siege weapons, spys, then other units. Order depends on scenarios you are facing.Ħ. If city at the border of the opponent build temple/fort also. Every city should have market( if you are not at wealth limit or good wealth nations),university( note: no limit for knowledge until you reach the limit +999 for any nation at any point in time it requires a lot in later stages ), some towers, Sam installations when airplanes are available, barracks/stables with few solders for defense. For dutch go for socialism ,monarchy and depotism in most cases.ĥ. Russians have good oil gather rate by default. Research governments that can overcome nations weakness.For russia, research socialism instead of capitalism. Wonders are key for economy which in turn key for victory. Don't underestimate the power of wonders. If you are running out of mines build wonder that give metal benefits. If india go for wonders that give other resource benefits not wealth. If you are a dutch go for military related wonders. If you are an american go for colossus/pyramids instead of hanging gardens). If you have extra resources build wonders that can overcome nations weakness or resources which are in short supply.( Eg for bantu build hanging gardens instead of colossus.Similarly if you are running out of food build pyramids. However post info age research at library depends on scenarios you are facing.ģ. In case of mongols and aztecs research up to mil3 ( skipping all other research ) and build barracks(aztecs),mongols(stables). Sometimes you can research extra military incase of emergency or rushing or you have mongols/aztecs in ancient age+1/starting age+1, but dont do always. can be a good research sequence in most of the cases. So, sci->Civ>com>mil> corresponding age > Research priority should be first economy then followed by military.

Be sure to be well rounded in all aspects of the game instead of focusing one alone at any point in time of the game.Ģ. Your primary objective should be to have well rounded economy followed by well rounded military. Well rounded Economy is the backbone for victory. Be at your commerce limit for all resources at any point intime of the game.
