(Dreadnoughts always need engineers, to name one. But on lower difficulty levels this is not the case.)īy turn 90, tier one units are pretty much obsolete except as city garrisons.

(Slightly smaller empires, but those games were on Emperor level AI and those get rather large income/production bonuses, so the player needs more cities to compete. And even with those 30 cities, the stronger AI players had considerably bigger armies than I did. I checked a few of my large/extra large maps that lasted a long time. You can then compare your city count to that of the AI and see how well you're actually doing. :) Pressing ctrl-alt-c and typing 'barentz' lets you see the entire map.

Or alternately, use cheats to see what's happening. You'll note that you're probably WAY behind the AI. Like I suggested on the steam forums: Save the game, surrender and check the graphs you see, particularly those for Domain and Military scores. One issue with learning this game is that you can sometimes think you're doing well, when you're really not. I play on Lord difficulty and win the vast majority of my battles. Usually by turn 90 I have 4 or 5 cities and am churning out mainly t1, t2 and some t3 units. QuoteI'm concerned about the economic and battle success arguments. This has been my favourite game for the past couple of years, so I should have some good tips for you.
