New player here l, just a few basic questions.

  1. Are missiles worth the research if you have nothing else you need to research? They’re so tempting because they look fun but I don’t want to waste materials on them.
  2. What are the best stacks for infantry, armor and artillery. (Both early game and late game)
  3. Is the best anti air defense just other aircraft’s? Or should I invest in more anti-air artiliary?
  4. What are some of the best strategies for invading countries that are relatively equal to you in powed?
  5. What’s are the best things to do early game? Should i just dump a bunch of resources into making troops and try to big-dick everybody early or do i want to take out smaller threats and build up infrastructure?
  6. What should be my top priority for research?
  7. How should i go about annexing cities? It is very useful but it is also incredibly expensive so it would be difficult to annex on a large scale until pretty late in the game. (edit)
  8. Any other tips I should know as a newer player?
