The same here. It really is an enjoyable game, though playing on Noble is
even tougher on BtS than it was before.
By the way, in this game I acquired two Great Generals which I settled
in
my military unit-producing city. The first one I settled as a permanent
expert; the second I saved until I could found a military academy there.
The
first GG I got through my wars against Hammurabi and Montezuma, but the
second I got through privateers. Privateers are a great way to acquire
military scores towards GGs without being at war. If you send them out to
blockade a competitor's territorial waters, keep them in group(s) of three
or four and let them take turns attacking any triremes or gallions or
caravels that come near. They'll get lots of promotions, and then take
them
home and keep them in ****t as soon as other civs start to build frigates;
and later on, you can upgrade them into elite destroyers.
What with random events which one needs ready cash to exploit and the
way
one really should upgrade at least some well-promoted units, I think one
should try to save up a bit of money if one can. I'm against the gambit of
always running a budget deficit for research, except if one is in a real
hurry to be the first one to discover something, such as a religion or
liberalism.
It's also nice to keep a few privateers in your own territorial waters.
They can attack any caravels or gallions belonging to your rivals that
come
near, and not only gain scores against getting GGs and promotions but also
take out any spies, Great People or settlers who may be on board those
vessels. If I had stationed a couple of privateers up north, I could
probably have sunk the vessels bringing the Roman and the Indian settler
to
my continent.
