I can win when playing up to level 8 and anything above level 10 blows me away. I've just recently started building a fighter for my first object in order to scout out the surrounding territory to make my army moves more efficient. My first ship build is a destroyer to do the same for overseas scouting. Then I finally start building transports. In the middle game (if there is such a thing) I start building battleships and bombers. I just quit out of a level 10 scenario that seemed to be pretty well stale- mated (why did I quit, frustration and the need to experiment with different initial builds). The bugger had three or four battleships, two carriers and lots of destroyers and a few misc subs. I started infringing on one of his islands and he kept using bombers to destroy the city I just overtook. Quite frustrating. So anyway. What strategies do others use when/if playing SC at higher levels? Thanks in Advance Tony -
