    Don't forget the unit sizes. What I mean is that on huge unit sizes, a unit will be more effective at maintaining order than on large unit sizes, because it has more troops.

    It is extremely difficult to maintain order on anything less than large unit sizes.

    There is 1144 turns in the game, just take your time. It's a lot more enjoyable that way. Take a city build it up, take another build it up, take two and build them up, the money from your built up cities allow you to take more and build them both up at the same time so its not like you can only build one up at a time.

    Not true. The unit size has no effect on order, as it takes the max number of soldiers in a unit into account for this purpose. Try a game on tiny and you'll see that those 30 guys keep order as well as 240 do on huge.

    Having problems getting EB2 to run? Try these solutions.

    I do NOT answer PM requests for help with EB. Ask in a new help thread in the tech help forum.

    True. The only advantage that huge has is that it can deplete the population quicker, giving you a smaller city to retain.

    Heh. Well, I'm gonna hunt down that guy who told me that, gather a rabble, and lynch him.

    Anyways, I fully support ACIN's post on taking your time. Furthermore, I advise you add some roleplaying elements to this. Take your time. I can't force you to do this, but I can tell you from my own experience, it is more fun than blitzing everything.
