Anyone else play this?
I was wondering what kind of settings people think are good. I tried playing my first game on epic timing, continents and large map size with lots of civs, but it was just going too slow.
I ended up changing to a small map, continents again and this time just did standard time. This one's been a lot more interesting so far. I'm playing as Alexander against a few other ancient era style factions (like the Egyptians and the Persians). It's pretty cool, I've basically got my own little peninsula which is connected to the rest of the continent by a thin strip of land. On the other side of that strip are the Persians, behind them are the Siamese. There's another little island that is right next door to me that has 3 city states, one of the states wanted me to try and take another city state, which I tried. Turns out it's a lot harder to take cities in this game than I thought. Anyone got any tips? I'm not really a civ noob, I know all of the general mechanics and I played a bit of civ 3 back in the day. I also played the shit out civ revolution on console. I guess I'm just wondering if anyone's got any info or things I should know about civ 5 when playing...
tl: dr Talking about civ 5, give me some pro tips.
