Bah i lost my 2nd game due to the fact i stooped expanding in mid game and didint know how to make an alliance but it is most due to the fact that my army exclusively relied on scouts damn these cheap crap and its fucking gay because its gives u the illusion of power but not against the AI. Wtf i was like 1/12 in the millitary rank until they sent some Battle Axes to reduce me to the last rank. If u have any real advice how to do next time please post.
