When it comes down to it, you want to be on the winning side. Honestly, who wants to lose a war? It's devastating to the country on both a Commercial and Cultural level, which in course affects Production - not to mention you have to rebuild whatever Military units you lost and any land that was pillaged. So how can we do the above to the opponent? Getting a good start culturally is the key to early domination. You will be ahead in Technology and Production in much earlier turns and thus be 1-up on the enemy in terms of unit superiority. Production speed of units and what buildings (Great and National Wonders) you have created will affect the latter half of the game in terms of military dominance. Generally, you want to break through to Military based unit production techs like Iron Working in the early game for Swordsman and Fascism in end-game for a free Great General, Infantry (Assembly Line) and Paratroopers. Unfortunately, simply having a superior unit is not enough. Certain buildings give military upgrades - free experience points upon creation ie; barracks. These will allow you to bolster the ranks of your unit to your needs, be it an increase in City Attack or Increased Movement. You also have the defensive factor of opponents you are attacking. Increased Tile Defense, Fortified Position, and City Defense bonuses also make even the weakest enemy hard to strike at. Your units will also suffer fatigue from battles and decrease in strength. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - The Math of War [MoW] Ok, so you're ready to make your attack, but are you going to kill the enemy or will you die trying to conquer? Let's find out. Chance of Victory (%) = Your Base Strength + Bonuses : Opponent's Strength + Bonuses That is, your total strength in ratio to the opponents total strength in the form of a percentage. Luckily the computer does this for you. To see your percentage of winning the battle hold the right click over top of the enemy. Both totals will be shown along with the percentage you have to win. It is not recommended to attack unless you have atleast a 75% of victory. Note: The higher chance you have of winning the less strength that will be degredated after winning. And on that note, remember that even if you lose a battle the opponent has points from his base strength lowered thus lowering his total strength even more. This is helpful if you are behind in strength but have numbers to wear the enemy down. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - The Typical Strategy [Typ] Units: 2-3 Melee 2-3 Ranged 2 Mounted 2 Siege Objective: Take over 2-3 Cities and convert all of them. The Strategy: For this to work use upgrades to Increase City Attack for your Melee and Increased Damage vs. Melee for your Mounted Units. This leaves Increased City Defense for the Ranged. Siege weapons should go for Increased Damage when Bombarding. Lead with your Melee units and have everything follow onto them but have them split into two even groups. Make it so that you're attacking from both sides of the City when you arrive to it and try to not be attacking across the water or from a hill. On the way to the City use your Mounted units to take over Workers and destroy any Roads connecting important resources to that City, do not destroy the resources themselves. Upon arriving simply Bombard until your units have the ability to take over the town. Leave ONE Ranged to defend the city and repeat this process till you have taken over the Cities that you want. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - The Extermination [Bye] Units: 4-5 Melee 4-5 Ranged 4 Mounted 4 Siege Objective: Eliminate a Civilization while converting atleast half of the Cities to become your own. The Strategy: Set up a mix of Increased Damage vs. [Unit] amongst the group but make sure your Siege Units have Increased Withdrawal. Split the groups so that everything but the Melee is in one group and just the Melee in the other. Attack a City head-on with the non-Melee group and spread the Melee around the City. This makes it so that the opponent cannot squeeze any other units in while you Bombard and take over the City; it still allows for a Melee to attack the City if it has the highest percentage of victory. The most effective way to eliminate an opponent is to only take over the beneficial Cities. The ones closest to your borders are usually weaker Culturally and can be razed (unless it is the original Capital or Holy City). This tactic is one developed in World War II, their it was simply called Island Hopping, this is City Hopping. City Hop to the Capital and take it over, then focus on razing most every other city that isn't along the coast or in a highly rich area. Take the Cities along the Sea out last. _____________________________________________________________________________ /=============================================================================\ |+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++Tips and Hints+++++++++++++++++++++++++++[Tip]| \=============================================================================/ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ - Strike early and show no mercy, taking out an opponent in the first 50-100 turns guarantees superiority easily for a good portion of the game. - Leave atleast 2 Units to defend each City. It helps with your economy and obviously the defense of your City in case 1 Unit is destroyed. - Quests you get that involve the military should be completed as they help immensely in increasing unit strength. - Make good use of Technologies and buildings that reward free Technologies. Using them to get a Technology thats roughly 50 turns out is definitely a time saver and gives you military superiority. - Use Great Generals on fresh Units. Don't make one super Unit, make them all a decent level. - Raze Cities that are going to be a burden, City Hopping is beneficial for disturbing and distracting the opponent. - Most importantly, have a set goal. Know exactly what you want to do. Nit pick and demoralize the enemy for now or completely wipe them off the map. Do not find yourself dragging on a war that you planned to just take a City or two with. _____________________________________________________________________________ /=============================================================================\ |++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++Sample Game+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++[Smp]| \=============================================================================/ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Turns 1-15 Start off by creating your first City in an area with freshwater and some forest, atleast 1 hill within the opening region is considered. The objective here is to use your Scout to reach the edges of the continent so you can build your next city along the water. All the while train Mining and Bronze Working and make the first unit you create a Worker. Be sure to notice the forested areas that you pass by with your Scout. Things to Do ============== -Expand and take note of the opponents' starting positions. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Turns 15-50 By now you should have Bronze Working and a Worker. Train a Settler and begin to clear the forest in the surrounding area, building either Mines or Farms depending on the terrain features of the forest. This should significantly help you gain a Settler to create your City on the sea. With your 2nd City begin creating another Worker and clear the forest around that City to speed up his creation. With your Capital create another settler. This time your objective is to pick a good spot for Cultural development while at the same time trying to corner off one of your opponents (such as blocking them off in a penninsula). The reason for this is so that City builds up quickly and depreciates the opponents' total land and leaving them unable to expand past where you have expanded. Things to Make ============== -Make 2 Cities, 1 on the Sea, another for Cultural development -Train 2 more Workers and clear more Forest to speed it up, Mines are amazing Things to Learn =============== -Work towards Animal Husbandry and Fishing first. Archery and Masonry second -By the end of 50 turns you should have the entire first tier of Technologies and Animal Husbandry and Bronze Working at the minimum. How to be a Friend ================== -Do not allow Open Borders with anyone How to Rule =========== -If you haven't yet, adopt Slavery. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Turns 50-100 These turns can make or break you. Have Barracks and Archers in every City (3 being the goal by now) and atleast 3-5 Workers. Mines and Pastures and all Cities connected to the Capital will help significantly. By now your Sea-side town should be building Moai Statues (National Wonder), this will be your warhorse because of the increased production of the City. A Granary in every city is now mandatory. By now opponents will be wanting to Open Borders, deny them so they cannot expand past the borders you have created. Look to create a 4th City, mainly to block of opponent expansion but also to increase production. Keep an eye out for valuable resources like Marble, Iron, and Stone. Mine them as soon as you can as they will yield precious production points as well as give you the ability to create more powerful units like the Swordsman. Your Capital should build Stonehenge, The Great Wall, and the Oracle in that order. Technology should be progressed to Metal Casting so that when the Oracle finishes you may choose Machinery as your free upgrade. Things to Make ============== -Create a 4th City and focus on Barracks and Archers -Use the Capital to create World Wonders -Build Moai Statues to create a production overhaul in your Sea-side City Things to Learn =============== -Work on getting Metal Casting and Iron Working so you may create more powerful units. How to Rule =========== -If you haven't yet, adopt Monarchy. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Turns 100-200 During this time focus on Forges and Colloseum's to increase Commerce and Production. Creating the Chichen Itza and Statue of Zeus World Wonders is also highly recommended. Heroic Epic is a must and is high priority, build it ASAP. Technology wise get through to Literature, Calendar, Construction, and Codes of Law to enable those afore mentioned buildings. _____________________________________________________________________________ /=============================================================================\ |++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++WAR++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++| |-----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Remember that other Civilization that you were planning on cornering off? | | Time to go wipe him off the map and expand your Civilization the bloody way,| | War. | | | | Hopefully, you can create Swordsman and Catapults at this time. Create | | roughly 5 Swordsman and 2 Catapults from your Sea-City and your Capital and | | march them over to the Culture City you created. An opportune time to strike| | is of course when your troops are assembled, you have more in progress, and | | the opponent has Workers or Settlers visible.

If you want to stick to a dominating tactic you and simply take over another neighboring Civilization, just remember to not wage a war on two fronts. This position also leaves you very Culturally developed and you could just kick back and expand till you have Rifleman and Cavalry to wage war again. Either way, maintain the same tactic to have 2-3 Production Cities, a Culturally heavy City and a Resource City. _____________________________________________________________________________ /=============================================================================\ |+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++Units++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++[Unt]| \=============================================================================/ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Listed in Alphabetical Order, these are all of the Units in the game. =============================================================================== / AIR UNITS / [Air] -----------/ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Airship Production Cost : 80 Technology Required : Physics Strength : 4 Movement : 1 Effects : Can See Submarines : +100% when attacking Naval Units ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Bomber Production Cost : 140 Technology Required : Radio and Flight Resource Required : Oil Strength : 16 Movement : 1 Mission Range : 8 Effects : Can cause Collateral Damage Can Bombard Cities (-15%/turn) Can destroy Improvements -50% when attacking naval units ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Fighter Production Cost : 100 Technology Required : Flight Resource Required : Oil Strength : 12 Movement : 1 Mission Range : 6 Special Abilities : Can Intercept Aircraft (40% Chance) Can destroy tile Improvements Can Bombard Cities (-15%/turn) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Gunship Production Cost : 160 Technology Required : Rocketry and Flight Resource Required : Oil Strength : 20 Movement : 4 Special Abilities : +100% Strength when attacking Armored Units Can Withdraw from Combat (25% Chance) Pays 1 mp to enter all land spaces Cannot capture cities Cannot enter sea spaces Receives no defense bonuses for terrain ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jet Fighter Production Cost : 150 Technology Required : Composites and Flight Resource Required : Oil and Aluminum Strength : 24 Movement : 1 Mission Range : 10 Effects : Can Intercept Aircraft (60% Chance) Can destroy tile Improvements Can Bombard enemy cities (-10%/turn) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Stealth Bomber Production Cost : 200 Technology Required : Composites, Flight, and Robotics Resource Required : Oil and Aluminum Strength : 20 Movement : 1 Mission Range : 12 Effects : Can Evade Interception (50% Chance) Causes Collateral Damage -50% when attacking naval units Can destroy Improvements Can Bombard Cities (-20%/turn) =============================================================================== ARCHERY UNITS / [Arc] -------------/ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Archer Production Cost : 25 Technology Required : Archery Strength : 3 Movement : 1 Effects : 1 First Strike +50% City Defense +25% Hills Defense ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Bowman [Unique -
