Which is better? Economy fisrt, or Military?

I'm trying to find out which is better, economy first, or military first. Both have their advantages and disadvantages, for military you can prepare for any new person to surprise attack you if you get it early but worry about metal later on. If you focus on the Economy first, then you have enough resources, but you won't have that big of an army and will be slowly building your army. Which is better?

My father once said this: “If you don’t know anything, don’t assume you know and don’t say anything you don’t know is true”
I always got annoyed when he said that, but to be honest he’s kinda right if you think about it
Have a good day!

Once one's industry is built the offencive can begin. The Flame tanks are a complication, and that is why it is crutial to base your strategy on the movements of your enemies; there is no Strategy that works for everything.

Why would you want to attack yourself?
Aeroplanes are interesting toys but of no military value.

"Why would you want to attack, yourself?" Bad grammar I think ^^

Sort of a "let's eat grandma" instead of "let's eat, grandma" type of scenario

Or maybe that’s what I want you to think…

The question of whether to prioritize the economy or the military is subjective and depends on the specific goals and challenges a country faces. In general, a balanced approach that considers both aspects is often deemed more effective. A strong economy provides the resources necessary for military capabilities, while a well-equipped and capable military can help ensure national security and stability, which in turn supports economic development. Striking a careful balance between economic strength and military readiness is crucial for a nation's overall well-being and resilience.

I have found that often it depends on the map.

The larger the map, the more gold spenders show up, and you had better be ready to spend it too, or you will get clobbered. The heavy gold spenders show here, because the game goes longer, so they have their new favorite toy last longer, until the next game. Look for them to buy 10 stacks of bombers, 4 or 5 times over early. Look for them to be on fast maps, 10 stacks of medium tanks is not uncommon.

I hate to admit, but I love spending gold when I can, though I usually spend it on defense.

1/3 each industry (including recruiting stations), combat units, and tech, is how I usually spend. I tend to avoid the gold spending, unless I find myself between 3 or more opponents.

I tend to play most often on smaller maps to try to avoid the big spenders. It doesn't always work, but usually I can keep up with them there more often. :D
