Every turn I'm fighting the little 3 to 5 units stacks, sometimes multiple, before they join a main army and cause trouble. Unlike me, they can actually recruit everything at every time.
What is not said is that rhun actually starts with quite a few cities with income on the thousands each. And then slowly and methodically beat rhun in a huge campaign. There is a little castle down there that must be taken so I proceed to do that. However all I have currently Is those two cities, and another 2 pathetic villages that will quite literally will not grow until turn 120 or so. I got to make my way south and push as agressively as possible before rhun gets to be an economical power and just stomps everything with top tier units. I got my main city which can only upgrade to wooden walls, and a city that can upgrade fully but with pathetic population and miserable income. Along with design choices that make it very grindy.Ĭase in point.
The AI gets a LOT of cheats and you pretty much have to expertly fight most battles to win. It's a fun experience at least the first times, although it gets a bit grindy and repetitive. I got no experience with divide and conquer, but have played third age. Then divide and conquer is a submod to that one. I'd suggest you try both to get the one more akin to your liking.
