I find lots of Micromanagement annoying. You can have a good amount of content and strategic possibility without tons and tons micromanagement. In fact, I believe that less micromanagement allows the player to focus more on grand strategy, which I find cooler and more fun. I found Civ 4 to be...

I'm barely able to play prince, but I might as well challenge myself here. I figure the challenge will help me improve my civ skills. Monarch/epic 575 BC

Prince/Epic 1200 AD

This is pretty much straight up play to win. Other people might want competition, but in an enjoyable way, involving buildup to long wars, diplomacy, etc. Basically a normal style Civ game with other players involved to make it interesting. If it were a strictly competitive match, than...

I don't see how its fun for anyone to get nuked right away. Sometimes what makes you win isn't the strategy that makes the game the most enjoyable

Looks like a great start. I've never tried Mehmed before, but I like the sound of his UU. I'm gonna take a risk, and try Prince. Especially considering the start.

I think it's a pretty tough game for starting out on Prince. You have Rome in the south with a good amount of land, you have Hatty who usually becomes a vassal, and you're Arabia. I've been honing my skills on Prince waiting for the next game so hopefully I'll be better. I haven't been playing...

You should post a save of one of your games around midpoint so people can check it out, see how well you are doing, and give you more tips if there are any other mistakes you are making.

With this game, I decided to just be a cheater and reload an earlier save, as I was in a horrible position

I really liked KOTOR 1. I've played it multiple times. KOTOR 2 is pretty good, but for some reason I lost interest halfway through the game.

You are doing really well. I never wanted to try a specialist economy because it sounded kinda tough, but what you did with it was great!

I've been doing that in a current game someone posted on prince, and it's been really helpful. I already have a decent tech lead, and a 5 cities (about to make more next time I play) at 500 bc with a stable economy.

I'm moving up from Noble to Prince as well, so my advice might not be the best, but I'll try to contribute, and shadow the game. From just looking at the start, my advice would be to chop out 1-3 settlers first (Leave trees for any wonders you want to build of course), than build some military...
