they dont really cheat.they just get more resources at beginning.Which makes them do things faster,on standard u and comp.get same ammount.

Why? The Britons team bonus is better than the Aztecs one.
And sorry for not updating my civilisation stuff, I've been slightly busy. I will probably try and continue it tomorrow.

I can crush 7 spanish allies with azteks on standart difficulty, very easly, but cannot beat even 2 allies on hardest....
Oh and btw, I doubt it. Aztecs are much more inferior than the Spanish. I'm not saying they're bad or anything, but they aren't as good as the Spanish. You WILL have a challenge when you are trying to verse Spanish when you are Aztecs, and to think that you would be versing about 7 of them would be very hard. Even if it is on Standard difficult, it's still hard to beat 7 Spanish when you use just Aztecs. From what you have written here, you seem to think you are very good, but, no offense, you have much to learn about the game.
If you think you could beat 7 Spanish on Standard difficulty when you use Aztecs, try beating a Human player who are using Spanish when you use Aztecs. You will see how hard it can be to beat them.

Yeah, the defence of the Byzantines is fantastic, as I have said earlier. but when you see a whole army of Conquistadors come over to you, then you better prepare because it will be a tough fight. Conquistadors are one of the strongest units in the game. Like the Janissaries, but n horses, with much better range and attack. A unit to be feared.

believe me William, nothing, I mean, nothing scares me more that an army of 15 Cataphracts coming over the hill. Not even 15 Conquistadors
EDIT: Except those Dreaded Elephants lol

Conquistadors could kill a few Cataphracts before they could even reach them.

No, I have not seen it yet. What did the Conquistadors do? Did they just stand there and keep shooting or did they run away, shoot, and then as soon as the Cataphracts got near then repeating that same technique?
If it was the latter, then that is something I would probably do, even though it may seem cowardish, it will eventually save your army and save you the time of having to build more of them.
That is where Archers are the most weak, because they are never able to outrun an army of Cavalry, whereas conquistadors can, or any archer/cavalry unit actually.

I just played a game with the Byzantines, and I crushingly defeated my enemies.
Map: France (scenario map)
Enemies: 6, all in one alliance
Allies: 1 (Maya)
Difficulty: Standart
crushing victory, because in the end, I was leading in almost every cathegory (expect Buildings Lost and Exploration Percentage lol)
If anyone is interested, here's the recorded version. Feel Free to comment http://www.mediafire.com/?yetimdo2zm3
Note: In the end, when I was defeating my last opponent (Teal, I used a cheat code to kill my ally... I thought it was fun to see them all die  )
wow i can't event take 7 enemies on moderate... (I end up spending too much for defense and i never can advance...)
Its always barracks next to my only gold mine or something of the ilk... not too mention the fact that the TSA's overlap (TSA is town size area... if you build in a TSA of a computer they send all villagers and military units to attack...) In the end i always lose.

well as it gets to online games,tarkans are my favs,but if u play long enough the gold is going to end u will not be able to build expansive units and u end up losing;instead i upgade my simple infantries and make legions of them(build 10 barracks)opponents cavalry will die eventually soon and u go on making more and more while he is bankrupt at gold and has nothing to do but start upgading them too

I don't think that unit spamming involves a lot of strategy...
The time to build ten barracks? I thought RTS-games were fast paced and concerned micro-management!

Actually, building multiple barracks, or any building that has technologies to be researched, is a good way to quickly research them. For example:
I might have have technology for upgrading infantry armour and technology for upgrading cavalry armour in the blacksmith. If I have multiple blacksmiths, then I can research both of them. I wouldn't say that building multiple barracks is unit spamming, since one of the most important aspects of the game is to build an army. That's one of the main points of the game.
If you have the resources, then why not build a few more barracks or any building that can produce units? It will mean that you can build more units in a shorter amount of time.

If you run out of gold then you aren't going to be able to "spam" units, as you say. Gold as required for most units, or at least, most of the good ones.

Beating one enemy on hardest is harder than beating 5 at least a moderate.
But if you go champ spam you should go with the japanese. Damn those guys can swing fast. Castles come down in seconds.
