This is my main problem. You need to build the economy to build the army, and its unrealistic to do that with attacks at the inception phase. I never played AOE because I'm a linux user but I felt the same thing. Wars are something that you plan, its not something so sudden like oad currently are. I would not complain if it was a game about street fight but in a game about empires it makes no sense.

https://ibb.co/4J51Bhs At this time I found my opponent before he find me. Which are the best type of rush against his type of civilization? I'm playing as the Seleucid.

Thank you very much for the answers. I clicked in save and quit the game but I didn't find how to open saved games, in most games you can open saved games. How to open saved games? Excuse-me for the newbie questions.

Something that really pissed me off is that the palisade gates don't close automatically to foreigners, and they appear very early even if the map is large size. If there is no way to defend the land from earlier attack it's counter-intuitive, how is we supposed to grow without a territorial base? To found new civic centers, we'll need to send people from an earlier place so if there's no way to defend the land from early attacks growth is hindered... If the city of Rome was founded without walls when it was still a village or town, the Roman Empire would never born because it would be killed during its baby phase.

I do want to play in a competitive fashion but I want to attack to enemies' territory and want to prevent them to attack mine. I watched the video above about how to build the economy, and the importance of how to build many fields and houses, etc. I asked about palisades because I wanted to prevent attacks from sudden neighbors but as I'm learning people can suggest me better strategies.

One thing that I noticed real quick is that it is need to wall the territory as soon as possible but in the initial phase that it is only palisade, there is only walls in the following phase, palisade have no gates if I circle the territory with palisades how the citizens soldiers will move back-and-forth (I may want to send to work rock and wood outside)? If I wait to wall be available I'll be attacked first! Is there a way to upgrade palisade to wall after? PS: Thanks Centurio for your answer.

Are there any civilization that have both catapult and elephant, and have a good navy, good cavalry, and good infantry at the same time?

How to defend myself from attacks? How to attack? Suddenly I receive message that I was attacked by other player. It's not clear in what region of the map it happened and what can I do to prevent this or at least win these battles. I was able to build some buildings but I wasn't able to build a second civic center to expand the territory. How to build many civic centers?

I'm only understood that left click selects and right click orders. How to create new buildings? How to unlock new techs? How to explore the map? How to increase the population? How to make the nation stronger than other nations?
