[QUOTE="Al, post: 155550, member: 2486"] I usually play Persians. They are a very strong civilization. Firstly, they are Religious. This means not only do Temples and Cathedrals come cheaper (invaluable on higher difficult levels), but the one-turn Anarchy means you can easily swap between 'peace' governments (e.g. Democracy) and 'war'governments (e.g. Communism). Secondly, they are Industrious. This means that Workers work faster, extremely useful in giving you a kickstart to any empire-building, and productivity increases (meaning you can just beat your rivals to building those crucial Wonders, and also boosting general production). Thirdly, their special unit, the Immortals, is not to be underestimated. With four attack strength, they are the conquerors of the Ancient Era: the only slight problems being Hoplites and Legionnaries. This is pivotal: the best way to start any game is to build as many cities and carve out an empire. Then, conquer your weakest nearest rival. Conquer early, civilise later. Or at least that's what I usually do. And it usually works. [/QUOTE]
