Re: Only One Way To Play ?

Why are you trying to go age 5 and get all upgrades, if you can win earlier? You should maybe just keep rushing, and play hard/expert AI, instead of medium. Because I like to defend I enjoy that play style. Which is why I made this post asking if I'm trying to fit a square peg into a round hole wit...

Re: Only One Way To Play ?

Perhaps you'd enjoy playing with real players which is going to be more dynamic of course. Otherwise you could try some sort of AI mod to spice things up. In theory I would like to play real players, but as someone earleir mentioned, with my 'skill' I would get smacked down hard and lose in a 10 mi...

Re: Only One Way To Play ?

I apologize for my poor English. I am not able to convey very well my concerns. I appreciate the tips. They will serve me well when I try the next level. Currently I beat medium with ease. Boringly so. Attack early with my 6 archer card and I win going away. As mentioned, I have actually AFKed and c...

Re: Only One Way To Play ?

Keep training settlers constantly until you reach maximum (99 settlers). Then just make sure your settlers are working and not idle while you make the unit of your choice. I don't think you need to be any fancier than that to beat medium AI. I beat medium easily ( as your supposed to), when I rush ...

Re: Only One Way To Play ?

9360 You actually described 2 ways of playing it. How about something in-between? Both economy-oriented and aggressive. Keep making settlers and let them hunt if you have been making mills. Build manors until 10min. Build a barracks, train units and ATTAAAACK! You'll eventually reach the Private ra...

Re: Only One Way To Play ?

You sound like a troll, because I can't believe that someone can't beat the AI at medium difficulty, but I'll answer as if you weren't lol. No there is not only one way to play, and going for an agressive strat against the AI isn't even the best way to beat it. PS: How did you find this forum? I ca...

Only One Way To Play ?

So I have been building up the level for Britain. Playing medium difficulty. It seems to me there is only one way to play. Get the card for 6 archers. Rush their area, and kill and harass their villagers. = Cheese. I can go afk and come back to the game and maybe find the AI has quit. If I stay at h...

Steam

Is it possible to get a non steam version of the game? I prefer to play directly from my PC rather than have to be online with steam.

Thanks

Re: n00b Questions

TAD is a better game even when you just play European civs. Not just balancing changes and new features, but also just because almost nobody plays the Vanilla game online. If you are new and need any help or wanna find a member to play with, also check out our Discord. Appreciate it. I used to play...

Thanks, I was using Vanilla. Didn't realize I should use AD even when playing a Civ like Britain. Learned something new !

Re: n00b Questions

Your UI options are different than mine. I don't have that option.

When you use that option, you can no longer snap to your hero/explorer?

Thanks, I will check out the beginner guide you listed.
