I havent played this game since 2007 and i just recently bought the hd edition and im in love with it. But whenever i get to imperial age (or castle age if im too busy shitting out units) everything goes wrong and some guy with 50 mangudais and 10 battering rams fucks my shit up. I think im good enough leveling up and assigning villagers and i take about 10-15 minutes to get to castle age with 30something villagers to boot(depends on if im chinese or not.) But whenever the war times come whether its land or sea i just cant seem to get it right. Is there some tactic i can use in those ages?

Realize when you can safely wall and boom and when you need to make units. If you just make vils for too long and have no military when the time comes then gg. One of the things I have the most trouble with is making enough military buildings, mostly in imp.

Well i beef up archer skills in feudal and castle age and then throw crossbowman and chu ko nu's at them when they're still in feudal but they still have walls build up for some reason and buildings and units generally too far away, im thinking of approaching with the hand cannoneers but they're locked in most civilizations so.

I think i make enough units but then i send them to attack and my shit gets fucked up, and i dont know how to manage that apart from leaving a scout cavalry somewhere to keep me updated (and guard towers in key positions around town but they're too expensive so)

I hated this game btw. I'd always be running out of resources since I was constantly being attacked.
Of all tyrannies,a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
