Does anyone play sp endless on fast speed? Cause I´m impressed how impossible it seems. The time it takes to march through three regions is the time the AI takes to advance an era. Roving Clans were getting a tech per turn from turn 5 through turn 45. I conquered one city turn 30 something and it had both T4 extractors (which I couldn´t do anything with since I was T2 forgotten). I wanted to make a forgotten thread, but I seriously doubt I can beat endless like that, and I´m lazy for normal speed now. How can it be done?

Just act quickly. But sometimes i thought that the AI cheats when you are not looking on Endless dificult...they build too fast and don't even build foundries!

Military.



Endless AI wastes a lot of its production bonuses on things like stockpiles, and the military it has, it doesn't use intelligently. If you make two full armies and keep them up-to-date, including strategics, you can get them to level 10 relatively quickly off of the AI's massive experience bonuses and run the table. Don't worry about the science bonus very much. It's only the strategics that count, and the AI isn't good at retrofitting past T2 stuff.



Smart truce proposals will catch you up to all the AI in science.



Expansion plan 3 does a lot to alleviate movement problems, as do flyers or iron necklaces. I've done this with BL, Cult, and WW.
