Basic Multiplayer tips wanted
Is there an existing thread? Something less nation specific and more general? I know pretty much everything is situation dependent and diplomacy throws a huge twist on things but there must be some general advice from the veterans.
Assume medium map 15 prov/player (or give an example for small, med, large)
For example?
High prot units worth the resource cost in early expansion to have more leftover troops?
Secure a small/medium border, bulk up and hit with an unbeatable army? Or Keep poking/raiding and then overtax/pillage?
Send mages out early for xp and reduced losses or keep everyone at home for research early?
Mercenaries? worth it with the chance of a wasted bid? Obviously they're worth it short term but is the wasted bid worrisome?
sit tight and bulk or expand quickly and paint yourself as a target?
research site searching spells asap or wait till after either evoc 2-3 or const 2-4?
Play nice early or pick an early target?
Try to form a survivor type alliance or go for the largest alliance you can? Based on geographic or strength? Kill the strongest first or ally with em?
Yup, pretty much all situational... but is there anything that maybe steps outside of nation/age/pretender/dom? Maybe "never do xyz in multiplayer"?
