I have seen many play-throughs and read a number of generalized walk-through guides. It is very easy to give the answer 'situational' (and of course, that is the right answer!) but the fact is that certain players seem to favor settling right up close to their capital for quick trade route hookup and financial reasons, and some players favor pushing up to their opponents as quickly as possible. I am playing on monarch now but am looking for strategies to beat emp+.
What do you prefer and why, and what exactly are the signs to look for as to whether you should settle close or far away(unless you do the same thing every time)?
