u all f*ing wierd....

My rules are:
-Attack the AI once u have an advantege.
-Fight in da bushes if ur Barbarian and the enemy is Civilized
-Fight on the uphill.
-Attack the AI armies when they are sepparate.
-Assult cities when u have an advantege.
-Try to never autocalc.
-Send familily members to rule rioting cities.
-Attack with Captains , Generals, it don't matter. There arent enough familily members anyways by the Mid-Game.

Its VH/VH the AI is stronger than u, get more $$ than u, and they gang-up against u. So u need all advantages u can get.

....maybe if I play VH/M I could apply some of the rulz u guys have.
