Hey Glen,

I am 1 for 7 games so far on the random maps and I love it.
I am working on readjusting my tactics after years of either Rush the
guy or build walls to defend, survive the AI's rush and win through
attrition.
The biggest difference in the game I won was to build up a force of
units (4 infantry and 3 archers) and advance on a resource gathering
point of the enemy.  I was able to keep the pressure on and seriously
slow down the AI's economic advancement.
Of course, I had turned on the Explore option so the map was visible
and set the pop to 100.
I am not too good at maintaining a larger population and the computer
is very good at it.
You can also have the AI assist you in either economic, warfare or both.
Yes, it is a crutch but it is interesting to see how the AI handles it.
Also, don't forget the farms/cows and fishing boats.  They bring in a
ton of resources.

Best of luck :)

Markus
