Read this thread thinking I was playing with a normal bot starting out.
In the early stages of the game I had to quit and restart since my mentality was not used to something new but after giving it go multiple times, its manageable now.
- Sandbox: Getting the gist of how things work.
- Very Easy: Become familiar with build order.
- Medium: Crude gameplay need improvement.
- Hard: Where I'm at, currently doing fine but I'm still 10 pop a minute.
When I'm comfortable with Very Hard difficulty then I'll transition to Petra expecting steep challenge.
Just now I checked that, the default bot was Petra??? Whelp... its a fine AI, medium difficulty is similar to how playing a normal campaign in my many-many RTS journey.
Its normal for it to be difficult when one start something new~
Have a great day/night.
I think a Wonder should reflect the cultural highpoint of the civilization. I am not sure the destruction of a structure of another civilization is a highpoint. The Grove of Fetters would be a more appropriate candidate.
Imagine, the player spends 3500 resources and places the wonder in the most defensible location of the city, only to get the smoking ruins of a camp...
