Re: I need some guides... help me heh? Pretenders
The biggest thing that I think blows away new players is the default setting on the natives. Turn that up to 6 or 7 and you will have a much better game. Yes expansion is slower but the AI does much better against weak natives than you do so at 2 or 3 you will always get rushed.
As to pretenders, they all have their pros and cons so they can be as personal a choice to your style as the nation is. Some people make great use of high magics, or flying, or high hit points, or stealth, or diplomacy, or the fact that the pretender tosses out its own units each turn.
