Thanks alot for all the answers, I've been reading them. I've started a normal or large fractal game and tried some different stuff now. I started on mid-size continent and was able to take down the lucky irish (iron, stone and ivory at fat circle of capital!) with a horde of axes. Then I was attacked by southern neighbors but managed to push him back and take a city or two (I'm trying to capture his last 3 cities now, he keeps getting a city of mine with a big stack though).. anyway! I normally just try to get all resources and use the slider to get more research. This time, I put the slider down and used some specialists.. and tinkered a bit with improvements/worked tiles.. works great! I am behind everyone but my target in tech, but i got to learn something
So here I am with another question. I never seem to be able to get someone to be my vassal or trade the "capitulate" thing. For example, I have around 10? cities now and my target is Charlmagne. He has 3 cities left (I razed 1 and captured 2 of his cities, including his iron and his horse borders a captured city so it's razed. he has ivory but no copper. I guess he's trading resources since he keeps making soldiers though). I have more and better soldiers, I have better culture and better in tech. But vassal (in peace) or capitulate (in war) always says "We are fine on our own" in trade window. Should I treat him good to make him accept it? Becouse if i hammer him more he'll be gone. Well thats my ambition but I'd like to learn about vassalage. *posts reply and heads to guides*
PS: As for guides, I go to "War Academy" section under Civ4 on main page and occasionaly check forum threads. Anywhere else I should be aware of?
