32. Bronze Working can be researched after you get Alphabet.

37. Once you tech Railroad, Machine Guns should be your primary, if not only, attacking units.
Very nice idea for a thread.Inspired by this thread.
5. Play the One-City Conquest Challenge-No Military Units-Always War Variant against Shaka, Montezuma, Ragnar, and Genghis Khan on a small, cold Pangaea map on Deity with the Aggressive AI option on.
As you said, this can actually be really sound advice. Especially on higher levels and faster speeds.10. Siege engines slow you down, so don't build any of them, especially when attacking fortified longbows (or pikes, or muskets etc.) defending cities on hills. You want to attack them with horseback units and nothing else so that the AI does not have enough time to send in reinforcements.
39. Ten Settler Opening - the strategy of champions. Settle capital and build 10 Settlers in a row. Land is power, right?
40. Isabella is your friend. Your towns are safe with her; If you're in a war, you can leave your border towns undefended and she will take care of them for you!
Actually, since she's a religious fanatic, Izzy is pretty easy to get to a stable (the key word is stable) Friendly, and unguarded borders with most countries are safe when they're at Friendly.
If you're really at war, then you can also switch to Theocracy for an added diplo bonus.
(Am I being too contrary in this thread? And was I understanding the "advice" the wrong way?)
44. Building wonders are hammers well spend. They have huge benefits, and if another civ beats you in building a wonder, you at least get a nice cash return for hammers invested! So, try to build every wonder possible, especially at higher levels!
