Basil is so fun. Domination tends to be kind of tedious, especially when it takes so long to move units, takes so much effort to break walls, and enemy units are annoying to slog through. He completely overturns this. Cavalry are fast, walls melt in a few hits, and killing enemy units is effortless and powers up your army.

When you made peace with Norway, normally you can get a better peace deal by taking the city and making them pay you to return it in the peace deal, plus since it loses pop it makes them slightly weaker for the full invasion later so generally I do that if i can take the city but don't want it yet.

I played Basil🧙♂️ so many times and tried so many ways to play him. Firstly, only crusial part for build is of course the religion for wall breaks and taxes.👼 Secondly, crusade➕ is main priority in the religion. (Of course not because it is just completely broken belief). Even without crusade➕ you still can do pretty well, but with crusade➕ you are immortal. Thirdly, when you evangelize your religion, go for tithe💰. I mean, you can make use of any other belief, (just suddenly having 68 cities and each giving you 1 science or culture), but the only weakest part of your units' spam🏇 is the money💰, you will not be able to trade📃 with the world, and i cannot base my economy on raiding🛒, at least not before the renaissance era, after which you going to use cards☑️ and 3 level horsemen🐴 to pillage🛒 unstoppably. Till then, just in the beggining, the hardest moment for you to go, you gonna need that gold💰. At forth, any religion is okay, both work ethics⚒️ and feed the world🍔, but from my expirience, it is crusial to go for culture from shrines🎶, because rushing tagmas👑 is probably the best way to conquer the world🌍 before it even can research any resistance. Without that culture from holysites🎶 there is a chance that ai opens line infatry🔬 by point you open your tagmas👑, (mainly australia..), so just go for culture🎶. At fifth, it would be a good decision to have pantheon that also gives you culture🎶 via plantations🍌 or pastures🐮, quierries🗿. However, any pantheon will work, river goddess🏘️, +1 prod form strategics🔨, divine spark🌟. However, again, from my exp, the best is healing next to holysite🏥. Probability there is an ai who builds holy sites🏥, imagine waiting 1 turn for healing tagma👑 in return of taking 4 crossbow🏹 shots. At sixth, very good choice for governor would be Pengala👨🏾🎓 for culture🎶, however if you have just +2 horses🐴 per turn, going for Magnus👨🏻🌾 and his 80% discount on strategics will be so sweet, however requires you to build goverment plaza. Victor👮♂️ for free promotion also would be great. Dont be afraid to even use Reyna👸 if you see 2 city states sending routes to one the same of your city. Her gold💰 can save you at the darkest of your periods. At seventh, if you play with secret societies, go for vamps🧛♂️ of course. However they are very slow🐢 to move after your horses🐎. I prefer to play with modded sc knights of solomon🤺 that stacks so well with religious military play. At 8th, great general🚸 of course, at 9th, with heroes and legends go Himiko👰 for bonus strength. So my best build would look like: 1. Crossculture dialog🎶 2. Crusade ➕ 3. +30 healing next to holysite🏥 If you have any possibility to go for horsemen🏇, go for horsemen! 36⚔️combat str horseman🐎 becomes 39⚔️combat str horseman🏇 due to taxes 49⚔️combat str horseman 🎠at the enemy territory 54⚔️combat str horseman🚂 with general🚸!
