dh_epic... I echo your sentiments here. The Ai forces you to expand to the point of tedium. If you dont claim territory, the AI will settle on it. I find myself following the same basic gameplan in most of my games. Expand like a madman until all the prime real estate is gobbled up, and then...

I always try to get barracks in my cities EARLY... I will build them before temples in most of my core cities. I can build my veteran defensive forces early in the game, and upgrade them as I get new techs. I typically switch to Monarcy early on, and I build 3 veteran spearmen in each core...

Did you give away all your techs at the end of an age in order to get access to their freebies? I assume this is what you meant by buying ther techs during the Age change. The AI must have had a hard time... hard to build 100 shield units in their primitive towns :)
