@ScratchCat the real fun is when you finally get artillery to easily capture cities using 2 arties and a horse.

Even better is the range upgrade and double attack galleys and frigattes

@GoldenLag

I shall try that, I have never started a war before the industrial ages as otherwise my citizens seem to starve a lot.

back in AOE gold, I'd use the police car cheat, kill all but a few soldiers and then go back home, destroy the police car, build up my civilization, and pave every square on the map and put a maze of walls down leading to those remaining soldiers before i went in for the kill.
