ziegenpeter Those are the the German spearmen and swordmen (win or lose, I'll get all those names down by the time I finish. )? I just teched up to them.

Tollheit I've been building the right kind of MICs but not up the right level. Things moved so slowly through the first decades of the game I focused on economic buildings when I was finally able to afford them. I should have been building up my MICs (outside my capital, none are past the second level).

Time to get back to the game and see if I can turn things around. If I find something that works for me I'll post it here.

Thanks for the help. I'm going to see about some of those regional units...
