I built tons of attack stuff and overwhelm them with superior numbers.

But i usually get as much res as possible then destroy with unending swarm of units.

Nehpets' Guide for any combat based RTS
1. Create a gigantic fortress with 3+ resource collectors of every kind
2. Make 3-5 bases for heavy ground troops, aerial units, and vehicles like tanks
3. Laugh as enemies cower beneath your might

I follow the tactics of Alexander the Great, be the first one to attack, defense is not an option.

In TW games I attack with high quality units. In games like Company of Heroes I attack with cheap units early.

Let's say I'm playing CivIV. I immediately go total war and order all of my cities to produce various military units, mostly ground-based. I move them all onto one cell, and mobilize the cell slowly towards city after city. I'm usually technological lightyears ahead of my AI opponents anyway, so I basically send a wave of artillery and mechanized infantry against "warriors" "archers" and the like. If somehow my units run low, I negotiate peace with my enemy until I can rebuild my army, then declare war again.
In other words, I'm terrible at leading a wartime civilization.
SEND EVERYTHING. TOTAL WAR. DROP WHAT YOU'RE DOING AND MAKE TANKS OR YOU'RE A TRAITOR TO MY COUNTRY.

Cheesing the enemy.

[NotKreation]

Battle for Middle-earth II yea.

[Chrono]

Other. I usually lose.

[Man 2]

I amass almost every bit of defense I have in all the cities in my country to go and attack an enemy. Homeland defense means nothing to me.

Take the most metal spots and then spam goliaths until everything is dead

Or what tails does.

I remember one time I had equipped my troops with the best armor available. We were winning in the end, but a few of the enemy slipped past and proceeded to I'll my entire population except the 30 soldiers.
