A cool website
Need some tips? Here are some from the EE page. I usually wait until I get to seige weapons before I try large attacks, they are very necessary, until then send out raiding parties and such too irritate the enemy and take up their precious time, defense in early epochs. Someone will try to attack you early, its inevitable, it is easier to defend in early epochs, when the attack values of units isn't very high, you have house and settlement/capitol bonuses to help with morale and defense, they have primitive attacking units. Seige means just that, time to 'seige'!! My Opinion though! I would like to see what some of the forums readers like to do to their civs. I her its depends on what you like to do, I like to use all and change it up often so my friends(enemies) cannot figure me out. Right now I am experimenting with the Camo-Cloaking-Bundeswher civ. All special race picks. It confuses the hell out of the computer, and hopefully will do that to humans. The only draw back seems to be getting enough citizens to upgrade your tc into capitols( only Caps can cloak)they will cloak for about 20seconds, and still fire at enemy even AA, then it takes about 35+ seconds(by my counting no stopwatch numbers YET)before you can cloak again,COOL. The camo allows units in scout mode to stand still undetected right in front of the enemy. the enemy moves towards your wall past your camo units and POW you can attack them from both sides at the same time. Camo does not work for citizes,prophets, and I think ships don't camo either, still checking this out. Combine this with the cloak, and the enemy justs spins in circles getting killed. Also you can cloak your farmlands, when they are attacked, change them all to partisans(about 1/2 marine strength) and start shooting at the enemy before the cloak even stops, they don't know what the hell happened until the cloak stops, and your now have 3 farms worth of citzens(24people) now partisians kicking their butts.What a headache for anyone. Double, triple, and quadruple layers of Towers are very nasty for an attacker to deal with. The problem comes in being able to build such defenses while being under attack. You usually have to have both a defensive AND offensive strategy in Empire Earth. If you concentrate on just one or the other, you'll get clobbered. Remember also that if both units have exactly the same stats (140 HP for both), the unit that attacks first will win in a battle. So you always want to be the one who attacks first and can cause the most damage while being able to absorb the most punishment. How do you do that? A strong economy and upgrades helps a lot. If you have the resources AND the edge (upgrades give the edge really) then you can do more than someone who doesn't. Malaria doesn't kill but Plague can. Also Plague can spread so if it gets to a bunch of units and those units come in contact... Plague is good against large enemy groupings (especially when they come into your camp AWAY from THEIR Temples). One thing I need are rank requirements. If you have them plz send them 2 me. My AIM screen name is IM buddy 92. Thanks One more thing. All of the tips aren't mine. I got them of of the EE website.
