I'm playing my first game, but I can't seem to find a strategy guide out there, so please point me to it if these questions have already been answered.
I'm trying to figure out how big of a military I should have, versus how much I should spend upgrading my economy. I've seen many people say you should probably be performing one research a day, so I've at least found an answer to my research question.
I'm thinking maybe a good rule of thumb is to have 2 or 3 units per city you control (obviously circumstances will change that)? Otherwise you're spread out too thin? So once you have those units built (and the infrastructure to build better units), you then push the rest to building your economy?
I started my game by putting a lvl 1 arms factory in each of my starting cities, and a lvl 1 local industry , and then bumped my rare resource city up to lvl 3. I haven't done much since because I started to feel like I had too small of an army, then I got into a couple wars. It's now Day 7 and I think I'm behind on resources.
Also, is it worth building arms factories and local industries in occupied cities and territories? I could do the math, but I bet building a lvl 5 factory in a homeland city is better than a lvl 2 in something that's occupied. A 50% or even 25% hit seems too severe to me to make it worth building, but I could be wrong.
