So I finally got the game, the full version.

My first impressions so far is that it is a time consuming game - in a good way.
It is nothing like other games I've played thus far, and that is a good thing.

However, I do have a question concerning tactics;

What are your starting ''moves'', meaning , what do you built / train the first few moves.

What are good,basic skills to survive the initial stage of the game.

What Civics do you usually choose,and why ?

How do you succesfully attack and destroy enemy villages ( in the early ages ),any tips concerning the sieging of those enemy city's ?

Also. Thanks you Simon for your perfect answers to my questions
