It is usually pretty hard to find a (non-expert) zone game with the settings:
1) no reveal map
2) default resources
These are the settings that I practice with.
But if I want to play with humans then usually I have to accept:
1) reveal map (blech)
2) medium or high resources (double blech)
I found that when you get into these kinds of games then the strategies that have been posted here lately tend to break down.
When to tool? How may vils to make during each age? When to bronze? What to do with those extra resources? What attack/defense strategies to use, etc...
