Let me first say that this is my first post to the forum and I have benefited greatly from reading all of the intelligent post here for some time. That is why I turn to you now for help. I am getting my @ss whooped on Hill Country Maps – Gigantic – RM. I am loyal Hittite commander and I refused to believe that I can’t win w/ them on this map type. My main problem tends to be my failure to control the map, especially the gold. I find it difficult to wall effectively on this map type also. I guess my question is how and what type of units do I want to use to establish territorial dominance early enough. Any tips? What is the best civ on this type of map?

here is what I like to try to do on hill country. Scout a little more than usual, go tool with 20-22 villagers. Tool rush your nearest neighbor, while keeping up the pressure with the tool rush build more villagers and take the food that is next to that enemy. This way you get any food by you, any food by him, and any food your willing to take from the middle.
