I'm on emperor, normally I play science victory cause it's easy but I got bored and wanted to try domination. Basically, taking early cities is no problem. It gets annoying once the ancient walls come up but I understand how to take them still for the most part. The issue is I always end up going from golden age to dark age and all my cities flip. I get the dude that gives bonus loyalty, I garrison a unit and assign a governor, I change my policy cards, NOTHING WORKS! I'm just wondering if anyone else has this problem and how they deal with it? If you give input please at least have tried this strategy on higher difficulties because it will only make sense if you've experienced it, a lot of basic advice that someone might think would apply in this situation didn't solve it.
