Persians aren't one of my normal "go-to" races, but I'd like to learn them better. I do okay with them on maps like Arabia where they follow a pretty standard Scouts or Scouts-into-Knights, or Knights kind of pattern.
But on closed maps like BF I can't seem to get them going -- if I do a big ole 5-TC boom I seem to be too slow off the mark having a decent-sized army. Whereas a 3-TC boom leaves me short resources especially food.
Would love to know...
(a) general pointers
(b) if there are any particularly good recorded games in the library (I can't seem to filter the recorded games by "Persians" or any other civ name without coming up with 0 responses, even though I can filter by map type etc).
Thx!
