Build barracks in your military hub city. Immediately research Bronze Working so that you can build Barracks in this city. Barracks automatically upgrade all new army units to Veteran Status, increasing their combat skill, and allowing you to build Archers.

Build roads to all cities. As soon as your cities have started producing enough gold, build roads leading from your military hub city to the other cities for quick disbursement of military units. Remember, just because you have a city devoted to building battle units, your other cities still need protection of their own.

Develop units into armies. Once you have three units of the same type, you will have the option to develop an army of that unit, which is more powerful. Always use armies, not individual units, when engaging your opponent in order to increase your likelihood of victory.

Choose your battles wisely. Always engage units in battles against inferior opposing units. This is the key to winning wars. Horsemen are more likely to be defeated by archers. Catapults and riflemen will usually take the most damage from horsemen armies, but are more successful with individual projectile units, such as archers, especially when supported by other units. Fighter jets are most susceptible to rifleman attacks, where bomber wings are practically immune to defeat against any land unit. Battleships are the ultimate warship, while submarines tend to have a weaker defense. Tank and Artillery units are the ultimate projectile units can usually conquer a city without the support of other units.
