How do I know who is whose worst enemy and does every AI have one? What kind of trades should I avoid with someone who is disliked by many and loved by few? What are the general trading tips concerning diplomacy?

Ok, so according to the formulas given here you are not likely to become a possible target and are therefore safe, but let`s imagine that someone actually does declare war on you - what do you do? Aren`t you pretty much doomed?

Just wondering - what would you do if someone declared a war on you? You don`t seem that stong in military terms at all...

So generally, this is the kind of a part of an island that you would want to civilize only after settling everything else, right? For instance, there is better terrain to the north. I guess I should head to that direction. (after blocking cyrus, off course)

There are no such maps, normally, where you don`t see tundra + ice tile combinations together with deserts and peaks and what else not, that really is not the most convenient terrain to settle in. Then again, quite often such terrain offers some resources, that are rarely found anywhere else...

Well, goody huts pretty much are my problem. Chasing after them is a pain to the early exploration since they often pop out of the initial circular path around the capital.

What should the early priorities be when exploring the map? I usually find myself exploring large areas very far from the capital that are no use to me. Also, how do I move my warriors and scouts to reveal larger areas in one turn?

I usually get confused by all the options available in the mid/late game, because it seems, that almost all of the techs are simply brilliant. If in the earlier stages of the game it was far easier to choose from techs that simply are no good for you and from techs that are extremely crucial to...

So how many of them do you have during all the game, aproximately?

What is their role in the mid/late game? I usually find myself leaving them to build meaningless road improvements, because they are simply way too many (1.5 for every city) to actually do something worthwhile and at that point of the game, most, if not all, tiles have already been improved. Do...

Those northern blocking cities sure look pathetic, but I guess it`s the best I`ve got. Which should I settle first and how do I develop them with so many desert and mountain tiles?

Ok, I`m ready to found my 3rd city, but I`m unlucky with having few reasonable choices. What are your suggestions? Where to settle my 4th and 5th?

Ok, your suggestions sound nice. assume everyone does either of these things mentioned above and I`m one of the few that has never tried that out, right? Also, higher difficulty levels don`t make my game much more challenging. Yes, I`m behind in research and soldiers and everything else on...

I`m far from being good at Civ, yet still I find the game boring most of the time. I like building and working tiles and so on, but it is way too peaceful for me to enjoy the game. I could just build a stack and attack someone, but then again - it is way too easy. I usually play on the prince...

Yes, but I can`t find any certain walkthrough`s regarding cultural win and the use of cultural traits.
