With a lot, you can be grabbing their cities, but also some fat bonuses in the form of Great People. Not only is it a possible route to winning, but you need some culture to prevent your neighbours from converting your cities. Keeping your cultural production up is extremely important. Getting navigation early on will help you find atlantis and the other ancient artifacts that will spew forth a bounty of bonuses. Or, if late in the game one of the AIs is close to winning and you’re closer to an economic victory than a technological, switch your cities from producing science to gold.Įarly game exploration is as important as in easier game modes, with some good money available from villages, natural features, and barbarians. For example, in a city that is working on a Wonder, switch the workers to concentrate on production. But you probably already know that.ĭon’t be afraid to micromanage as much as is possible in this game. You’re going to want one or two production-geared cities that can spam out military units, too. You will probably have mostly science-based cities, and one or two for gold. In a gold-producing city, build a marketplace and then a bank don’t waste time on libraries and universities. So following from that, build cities to specialize in one or the other. The single most important point is that cities cannot produce both gold and science – that toggle in the interface between them is in fact toggling the city’s output (not simply the display of them as I had thought). I lost a game to a Chinese civ that only had four or five cities. You lose two population every time you build a settler (unless you have a Republic), so in many cases you may do better to let your older cities grow and be choosier about new cities. This is much harder to do in Emperor, partly because you’ll need defensive units accompanying every settler and partly because you become acutely aware of the damage settlers do to their originating city. My general civ strategy is to expand early in the game by spamming out settlers. Meanwhile, concentrate your building on improving your cities.
You’re not going to do a lot of attacking in this mode, not until the late game, so avoid wasting resources on too many military units that will just obsolete themselves, and concentrate on good defense. Aim to have an archer army in each city – it’ll hold you until the invention of gunpowder, or thereabouts. The Emperor AI civs will attack you constantly, so research bronze working first and then build archers. So I’ve been researching strategies, and recently tested some out. I’m also happy about Civ Rev’s shortened play time (three or four hours per game) – it’s a godsend for those whose minds Civ tends to conquer like pikemen under Roman tank armies. This is a good thing, as it indicates there’s a lot more strategy to this game than you might guess from its general air of casualization as compared to past Civ games, which were insanely complicated. I’m not getting destroyed per se, but certainly not getting close to winning. So I just stepped up my difficulty level from King (medium) to Emperor (second hardest) and the difference is staggering. I now have this game on three platforms (360, DS, iPhone), which is sort of silly. I’ve been playing a lot of Civilization Revolution lately, partly because there are few new games of interest right now, partly because Civilization has long been a favourite game franchise, and partly because of the new iPhone port.
