Tricks

Offshore Platform Trick:Okay,this ones pretty cool.First go to scenario builder and make a ALL WATER(not DEEP WATER) map.The go into the terrain thing and choose small as a size and then choose grass.Then make a plot of land big enough for a dock to be placed next to.Then place the dock.Then make your brush tiny and choose water(once again,NOT DEEP WATER).Then get rid of the land carfully.Don't get the brush on the dock.Then you have a floating platform.Yah!!!

Death Star:Okay,you need ALOT of resources for this,so best use it in Scenario Builder.First make player one(you) Babylonian.Then make a Town center and build a Siege Workshop,Acadamy,Stable,and Archery Range around it as close to gether as you can without making it impossible for the units to move.Then you put a fortification 5 tiles away from the buildings all around the perimiter.Then put Ballista Towers all around the perimiter of the fortification wall.Only use Archery Units for close enemy units and catapults for slightly far away enemy units.Then it they manage,by some miracle to break through the defenses of your Death Star,you use the Stable and Acadamy Units.Also,before you put the fortifications up you might want to put in a Temple,just in case.And vuala.You have almost invincible fortification which I call The Death Star.
If you have any tricks,post them here.

i got a trick, wen your in the tool age, build a lot of small walls. then build alot of watch towers (about a space imbetween) then keep on advancing and upgrading, then get some archer units, and walla. thats basically invincible also >_>

OKay,I have a new trick.

Knights Templar(Knights of The Temple).
Make sure you have the highest level cavalry(Caphateract I think,it also works with chariots,but not as well).Then build a wonder.Then build 4 temples around it.and put fortifications from temple to temple.Not only does this protect your wonder,but it looks cool.Now,train 2 preists from each temple and put 1 Caphateract next to each group(also works with heavy Horse Archers).

An Improvement upon the floating platform...

-Do the same thing you did with the dock, except use fortifications and guard towers. Landless stronghold!
