Early Expansion
It is usually ideal to attack while your enemies are unprepared - before they are reinforced.
Early Expansion is key to a successful empire - being capable of expanding in every direction
- When you spawn you will always be capable of expanding in the direction of your choice
- Expanding Early secures territories and expansion useful in mid to late game
- Early Expansion sets the game in many high level games
If you fail to expand early your empire will be weakened for the remainder of the game
Successful Early Expansion entails securing production for your empire
(The recommended expansion is to take one country at a time - worsen)
This only applies to beginners, higher level games require you to expand in various directions to secure your empires production before war.
