I am interested to get anyone's thoughts on this starting strategy that I have used for a couple of solo wins.
It's pretty simple but I usually start as an island nation such as Japan or the Philippines, you could probably do Cuba but I haven't done that yet. Essentially right from the beginning of the game I research and build the right building in every possible city to build corvettes. If you are japan this leads to 7 corvettes by day 2ish. Then I just surround smaller countries and just bombard them until they have nothing left. In the meantime, I focus completely on arms industries to build the economy and maybe some infantry to hold the cities after the units are destroyed.
It's a pretty Noobish strategy but so far has worked really really well.
