Through The Ages Strategy
Through the Ages — Walkthrough. The strategy seems simple: eschew any culture producing buildings and go for industry, military, and end game scoring cards. But in the first challenge you only double your end points, and you can get some culture through buildings but only at 2/3s. If you focus too hard in any one direction you will.

You are probably right with regards to the errata. I will double check and change. I’ve played so many versions of TtA, I sometimes forget what’s current and am too lazy to look it up.Glad you liked it. Yes, I don’t build arenas because I can get happy faces elsewhere, and I find the increase to Military to not be a big enough enticement to research and build another line of buildings. That said, if I just can’t get the military cards I need/want, they might be the only option for bumping up your military strength and not being easy pickings.Another downside of Military Strength that doesn’t come from actual military units is the inability to use that strength for colonization.
Arenas can boost your military strength, but you can’t use them to sacrifice units and claim juicy colonies. I confess, I skimmed some of this. All those words, and nothing on managing corruption!I like the game at all player counts, but at 2p people need to understand there is no shame in resigning. “Playing it out to see what happens” isn’t helping anyone once they already learned not to lose 40 culture in one warI agree about avoiding arenas unless you are desperate for happiness. Unlike the old TTA, you can’t just ignore culture until age 3, then make up the difference with wars. So every bit of culture you get from temples and age A wonders makes a pretty big difference.
Losing that for Bread and Circuses doesn’t seem to pan out.As for the age A military leaders, I’m a big fan of Caesar in 2p games, as the extra MA helps control the event deck through age 1. The lack of military cards leads me to not love Hammurabi, despite the AI loving him.
Though I’ve recently found the joy of Hammurabi into an early Monarchy revolution. Js619:Military seems more important in this one than in the lastMilitary is actually easier to come by in the new rules. One of the knocks against the early version was in regards to Tactics. If you didn’t draw a Tactics card that worked for you (or didn’t draw one at all) and your opponent did, they had a huge advantage. The new rules allow for anyone to use any Tactics card for 2 military actions, thus only giving the person who played the Tactics card a military advantage for one turn.To your point, however, they did up the amount of Aggressions/Wars as time goes on. There used to be multiple war types in Age III, now there is only War Against Culture and a lot of them, making it much more likely that a War gets played late in the game. Military is less important than before, but still really important.
Since you can discard non-defence cards in the new story, aggressions are not as effective. If an aggression has a reasonable possibility of failing, warlords are more likely to test the event deck.Basically TTA is all about building the best culture engine possible while maintaining military parity with the other players. Try not to be the lowest though, and learn to abuse the tiebreak rule when deciding whether to play an event.
