¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
War has been around since the Dawn of Time and in most cases is inevitable in
a game of Civilization. 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. Taking Workers is beneficial |
| for development and Settlers obviously for the expansive aspect. |
| |
| Lead your Swordsman into battle and let the Catapults trail back ontop of |
| them so that if you get attacked back that the Catapults don't get destroyed|
| From here simply refer to the War Tactics [WAR] on how to eliminate this |
| opponent and take, hopefully, atleast 2 Cities. Another Sea-City would be |
| excellent, but none-the-less one opponent down and expansion has begun. |
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|

¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Things to Make
==============
-Build Forges and Colloseums to increase Productivity
-Construct Military-based Wonders across the Civilization
-Use Great Engineers to Hurry the Wonder in 1 turn
Things to Learn
===============
-Advance Technology to allow production of said Wonders
How to Rule
===========
-Keep Monarchy and change to the Caste System
How to be a Friend
==================
-With owning a good corner of the map, feel free to allow Open Borders to
increase trade
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Turns 200+
With a strong military dominance and expansive start you should be able to
maintain this throughout the course of the game. 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.
