I have been playing civ4 for a while now, currently holding my grounds at emperor level. I havent tried out the multiplayer option yet, have played with friends, but not against them... So now I am wondering what tips you might have in store for me? I have read through many of the threads here and I know of how to do the CS slingshot and other similair things so there is no need to post that.
What I am interested in hearing is how you normally play your multiplayer games from the start and onwards. Do you prefer an early rush? How do you do it and why? Which leader do you prefer and why? Any must have technologies in the begining that will make it so much easier to beat you opponent? What wonders is good to build? <- pretty important question i think.
When to start building an army, and what this army should consist of?
Building cities or conquering them?
I am not asking you to give up your best strategies here but perhaps give me a hint...
This is how I would start a multiplayer game with my current knowledge of the game: I would research BW as early as possible, but without neglecting to research technologiers so that i could improve the land around my city. First build would be a warrior while my first warrior would go exploring, then a worker. After that I would build a bit more warriors along with another worker and a settler. Would perhaps try the CS slingshot, but somehow i dont think it would work that well in multiplayer... After that i would continue to develop and build up a huge army to conquer my neighbours...
