    It all depends on what type of enemy you are facing. You will want to buy archers if hes attacking you and legions if hes not and you just want to wipe him out. Create 3 legion armies and a spy early and you should be able to win. This means

    Bronze working
    Iron working
    Alphabet
    Writing

    And you have enough techs to do this since you get a spy for free too if you research writing first. Now you want one city which has a lot of hills and forests and preferably Iron resources to make a lot of hammers. here you will build a Barracks and spam legions.

    i kind of stumbled upon that method, and now i rush foward quickly to build a city in those regions to pump out legions as soon as my techs are researched.

    sounds good, about how many turns will it take to research for legions?

    10-12 turns usually after you start researching and you have some research gain in your cities. That is if you just run balanced cities.

    Okay i was playing doing awesome had about legion vet armies and a ninja warrior army etc and took over Zimbabwe but i encountered at 22.5 defended Greece that i wanted to take over but they were killin me. How do i beat that just keep attacking or is there a way i can get an army that strong?

    You could send a spy in to weaken their defences before you attack. That usually seems to do the trick!

    or wait until you get knights(engineering)

    The Greeks are strong defensively at first because they get access to pikemen from the beginning of the game.

    you are able to build them once you research writing...they are 25 hammers to build, I believe.

    You can always create a catapult army with barracks. That results in 8*3*1.5 = 32 attack. And use a spy to take away their defend bonus :P

    You are right, I forgot to mention this was on Chieftain level where you get +100%

    what do you need to build catapult and knights?

    *unless your reffering to the knights u can build at the start

  17. You can't build any knights at the start...

    You need Mathematics to build Catapults and Engineering for Knights.

    Actually Cats army with Barracks should be

    4*3=12
    +100% (Chieftan)
    +50% Veteran

    =12 * 2.5 = 30
