Couple of EB gameplay questions/issues

[Alsatia]

I normally disband all boats immediately, and expand rapidly for the first 5-7 turns. after that, i'm fine.


Btw, Maion, I normally keep the tombs intact when I conquered sacked razed Pella to the ground. Is there value to the tombs? I'll think of plundering it someday.

I just sent my starting fleets to destroy the enemy fleets, why disband if you can put them to use? If I win it kills the enemy fleet and lowers my upkeep, plus I have cheap transport. If I lose I have weakened the enemy navy and decreased costs.

Good point. When I play the Romaioi, I send my starting fleet straight for Britain, in order to get my diplomat, who in the meantime has made peace with Aedui and Arverni and forged an alliance with the Swêboz, over there (and back again in the same turn). It's not really a game winning move but it is better than disbanding the fleet, which will get sunk by pirates anyway during the next few turns.

Well, you know, you can't really make a game-winning move when you do that.

Indeed, because the game is already won before you start.
