I have this one: if food is abundant in the world, you can try the
following. Trade and then ally (with reds and yellows, no use with
blues). Then you can wander around freely (don't be aggresive). Kill
sheeps that are *out* of towns. Trade (you're not allowed to pick up
inventions in your allied towns, but you can buy them). You can now
get many weapons or boats. When you consider yourself sufficiently
armed, camp in the center of a town. Wait until the people are out of
town, and then attack. Nasty eh ?
If you have many captains, use at least one of them to spy.
