"Industrial Age (for beginners):
Sets: SH(Standard High), Very Fast. The best way to win this type of game is
by rushing. You begin with 20 citz. 6 for iron mine, 6 for gold mine, 6 for
wood, the rest to build 1 barrack and 1 stable, 1 granary. Starting this way u
will have enough resources since the beginning. Then build Units as fast as
posible(build diverse types to counter any enemies units), and destroy your
enemy base with no problem by F11 10m. Well, this works if u are not dealing
with a pro." - Silence Sound, Twisted : )
"Never underestimate walls, they are excelent when paired with towers
and AA behind them (Mortar launchers, archers, and siege weapons are also a huge
assistance). Make sure you have have temple, and to a lesser extent,
universities, near important areas of your base to prevent prophets, and priets
wreaking havoc (belive me they will, especially if teliported in groups). It's a
good idea to keep a few towers, and sometimes AA inside your base (another big
help if your enemy likes to teliport). If you have extra food, you should try to
fill up your settlements / town centers / capitols this way, they'll get bonuses
when your citizens deposit food, iron, gold, and/or stone there. ALWAYS
ALWAYS_ALWAYS_ send your troops in groups with other types (and medics in later
epochs) or else it's highly likely you'll see them fall to thier weakness. Siege
weapons are great for attacking someone's defences, buildings, and/or front line
due to thier range, and (usually) explosive fire, but keep them backed up with
other troops, such as infantry, tanks, and mechs, and most of all, anti air, so
that you're attack will be much more effective. If you're playing someone that
likes to use nuke bombers, fighter jets will kick thier A**. But most
importantly, PRATICE!!!!!!!!!!! I've never seen, or heard of a strategy better
then experiance. Oh, and remember it's only a game, if you lose, then play
again, 'else you'll never get any better. =)" - DustmanD
"if you're in an early stage, and need to bring down towers, a handful of
prophets with the casting of earthquakes will do the trick." - peachfrost
"if you are in a space planet map then the only thing important is to ADVANCE
forget about making an army before you reach digital age make lots of citizens
and forget walls or towers because walls or towers are no use to space
planes.once you reach space age build turnets and docks to protect your base
it wont hurt if you build aa inside your town" - Anand (Typhlosion)
