Just like with this game, you need also to pay $14.99 for the full version of the game. This is a quite not typical for iOS apps that you can download for free. Anyway, just like what most players said, these games are worthy to be paid and we can do nothing about that. Anyway as a players we believe that you don’t care about paying cash for the sake video games entertainment. What we can only do right now is to share to you some tricks and strategy guides that you can follow so you can dominate the game you will not come along into a decision of spending another rounds from your pocket by purchasing in-app premium items. So here comes the key for playing Civilization Revolution 2 effectively:
1. Take advantage from delaying tactics. Think about warring cultures will take you up for your more and resources in return for small moments of peace. There are also some demands that are reasonable enough to comply while some are certainly not. The trick here is if you’re not focusing on military production you need to consider conceding but then since the game’s AI is aiming for violence, using your majority in super culture and technology can keep you off their radar for a time. It is better than any alternative in getting your cities destroyed through civilization advantage. This is not about giving up everything in game it is like playing if someone ask for 3000 of your 3500, you won’t be able to pay off the next attack coming towards you but still delaying can let you buy time for more upgrade and civilization advantage from other players.
2. Tricks in finding Atlantis. It is not only about getting the latest civilization to earn advantage but you can also find it through ancient wonder. In this game, you will earn compensation by finding Atlantis. These belong as natural wonders that when you discovered it, it will provides benefits to your faction. In this game, you might find Atlantis hidden on every map’s ocean as the same for modern theory today. Atlantis is the best discovery in game that will brings out an explosion of finished technology free of charge. So the trick here is use an open-water sea level. From the beginning, you need to keep in your mind that you will find Atlantis so this will makes you rush the improvement with your naval technology. With some other advantage, you can rule the sea that will gives you an advantage over the land-oriented enemies. It is a good investment especially knowing most other wonders are located on island and through high tier water transport you can easily access those area.
3. Balance your military power through early and mid-game. This is the concept of effective gameplay for CivRev 2 especially if you are serious of taking the advantage from the very beginning. Before letting other nations to declare war against you, you must fortify your base by keeping them at bay using the implied power. You must raise a standing army but not to use against with anyone as you can see from our shared first tips, you can do the delaying tactics. Delays conflict and keeps armies from laying siege to cities. You can also consider the trick of having more advanced units so you will get the respect from other nation. For instance, if you have a top tier sea or air vessels, you will see in game that land-only civilizations leave you alone more often.
4. Narrow the competition. Actually the basic concept of the game for every civilization is hide your potential until the right time that you can cast an attack and defense for your interest. Everything goes as number game and any relation basis around it. So here, rather than to wait for the inevitable, you can pick one close or other enticing faction for immediate destruction. By doing this strategy, you are not only gaining a great deal of cities and their resources but also you are able to manage the late-game requirement for bullying other nations.
5. Control the competition. As you narrowed down the competition and earning enough forces to control it. Now it’s your time to cripple it. Aside from the said delaying tactics above and if you believe that war is not the answer to dominate the game from the first phase, you might consider other way to delay military forces. The trick here is to assign one city to the production of one spy for each capital city in the early game and this can let you interfere with opponents’ production speed. Seeing the available production of that specific city can let you slow but the long-term advantage from it is slow-moving opponents that can’t keep up with your rapid development. You can consider using Russia’s spy, Catherine with her 50% bonus to spy production.
6. Plan your path all the way. As you started playing the game, you should plan it all the way including the path you will take. Pick a path from the very beginning so you will have a long run plan on where you want to go. In deciding for a path, you should comply it with your strategy. Just as we mentioned in finding Atlantis, if you really wish to take advantage from natural wonders, you must focus on improving your sea transport and for technological victories, you can work towards the proper search to gain advantage from high technology. You can also consider military victory to consolidate power that you can use for raiding other civilizations.
7. Check the tech tree chart. In the early phase of the game, actually you don’t need to matter what you should choose to research. So for those who are asking what you should research first, actually everything is a must as it has its benefits but you should consider the type of strategy you will use as you make progress from it. After that, or if you already taken first quarter-dozen projects, you need to start thinking of your future and consider that technology become longer and longer to produce and that is the time you need to make a priority list. The trick here is to check the tech tree for late-game options and picking one or two priority. By tapping them, you can check the prerequisites for those projects so you can prepare your gameplay for it. Start working with them as early as possible for the long run and continuous progress.
8. Improve your defense. If you are not fan of war and instead you are focus in improving your resources, there is no way for you to avoid in getting into war as this is the game all about. Actually Civilization Revolution 2 set up with their AI is to demands a conflict and you as a positive bringer of peaceful game play, this will be a big challenge. Well, if you are kind of player with this orientation, our recommendation is to focus building a fortified nation. In game there is a simple two-step combo you can do to defend yourself. First is to put a ranged unit such as archer to hold off the distance as well as wall structured provided with masonry technology. With this fortification, you can now focus with your culture, economy, and research without bothering for any incoming attacks.
9. Ready for battle. In the contrary for defense-based strategy, you can also do a fine bloodshed victory over your opponent. Just keep in mind that you should move as the ever hot-headed war-freak player in game with strategy. Yes, still you need to play the game under reasonable strategy. Actually it is easy to build an army of sword-slinging warriors and deploy them at enemy base. But actually that is a not a healthy ideas on the long run. Yes you can do offensive matters but this is not mean you should not think about defending. For a safer decision, you might use siege weapons such as catapults that can cast an attack from distance.
10. Think ahead. In any strategy based game, you are like playing chess game where you need to think for the reaction after your action. You must think ahead as it is not a good idea to use all your power to tear down opponent while losing your cities on your next turn because they are undefended. Ensure that in thinking ahead, you have always a plan B.
