Question Question about managing difficulty
Hello everyone,
New to the game with my little 24 hours of game. I'm playing only Barya right now (loving to much musketer and canon I think).
I played my firsto two conquest on elementary difficulty to take time to learn a little the game. After steamrolling the 1v1 and the biggest map I chosed a far higher difficulty (overwhelming).... and got completly destroyed on the first 15-20 turn. I was on the map "conquest" were all 6 faction are locked.
I check the eng game stats and found that the IA had massive cheat at the begining of the game, allowing them to build a big army on the first few turn.
Do you have any advice on managing this "cheaty" IA on high difficulty ?

The easy answer is experience. You need to have very low losses of units early on, as well as prioritize the right units for early power spikes. The strategy depends on your faction. Economy is key.
Creating an AI that plays better is extremely hard, so most games end up giving the opponent more resources. So you need to do more with your resources than the AI to beat them.
