Ok scratch all that I just posted above. I have finally sat down and read various civ strategies (any GGrayson one and that fire-guy that put the Spanish island one up are my fav ones so far). And they have made me 1000x better in SP. Haven't tried MP yet.

I generally go Domination until I beat down the AI guys to one capital then choose which victory I want. I found a good article on here and pretty much follow the same recipe in my games: 1) Switch initial city to 2 Production to get first warrior out at 3 turns. 2) After warrior out switch it...

I didn't read the entire thread but if you have a unit stacked with a settler, you can establish a new city even tho it has used it's movement points for the turn. When you have a settler unstacked (tsk! tsk!) it won't let you get to his options after his move points are gone. EDIT: Ah poop...

Believe it or not I had never thought of using great builders to do wonders. I got a great leader yesterday playing as monty. that was pretty fun actually.

Thanks folks. I started with Cleo and got Colossus and eventually an economic victory. They put me on a fairly large island so I settled it, focusing on desert tiles, then planted a little city on the main continent close to England but not so close i couldn't build it up a bit. Had a huge tech...

I finished the Greek game,... ran into Indians and English at the end of my continent, pumped my culture up huge and took a couple of cities then got a culture GP and took another one from India. Took last two India cities with artillery while building United Nations. Culture win. Yay. I...

Got it again last night on Emperor. I really think it is because I am pretty slow compared to some of the folks and my games end around 1950AD or so usually. Plus I max out my economy and buy every thing I can, once things are under control.

I tried the Greeks last night. Just turtled up and locked down a few bottlenecks, and grinded to tanks, then smacked the French, and the Russians first. The Russians were actually pretty tough with the Loyalty bonus. I am a bit nervous about the Indians though they were right behind me on tech...

Ok Alexandru already covered it

This is false. Just in case no one else has corrected it yet. Elite units upgrade throughout the entire game.

I am 3-0 on Emperor right now, not quite ready to try Diety. I have won with the Romans (pretty easy), Japan (still pretty easy), and India (i got a lot of breaks). Who should i try next? I was thinking Cleo cuz I never really use her. And I don't ever, ever ever ever ever ever...

I like Kadazzle's post. As far as city specialization what I do is roughly follow one of the guides I saw on here: 1. First two cities = science + libraries (buy them with cash from roaming warriors taking goody huts... or sell Alphabet to rival civs... also make sure you hit that 100 mark for...

I just finished a game on Emperor with Ghandi. Won Space Race but took every other city but Washington. I finished above Winston, but am not sure what exactly I did to do that. I did finish late (2004) because I was screwing around a little bit instead of switching everything to tech when I had...
