    How often do you build forts?

    Slightly off topic ik, but i sometimes build ironclads in culture wins to protect seafood in case of frigates :). Also, explorers are pretty helpful anytime there's a new continent in fractal, continents, or terra.

    No Metal

    or alternatively, you could spawn on a rocky low seafood area isolated without deer or fur :D

    Earth 18 CIV Map. Starting in Europe. Having a hard time. Can anyone help? Strategy?

    A lot of these things have been said by people above, but I'll reiterate. If you're Germany, just REX and crush everyone except for Rome, which you can defeat with superior technology. Rome, you have Praetorians. Do you need anything else? Greece, buttraped start. You can pray to destroy Egypt...

    How to defend cities in the early gunpowder age

    if you have cannons, you can attack the enemy positions and inflict a ton of collateral damage. also, build units that could kill the actual units, instead of cannons, which cant actually kill. use pikemen to kill the cuirassiers

    DoW during peace treaty

    if the AI already has enough on their hands and you demand their world map, causing a 10 turn peace treaty, can they still attack you? because that happened to me

    Trade Routes

    also, as a cheap sorta trick, if your on a map with any kind of island, build a city there and get free intercontinental trade routes :)

    The Jump to Monarch

    I had the same problem a while ago, but now i've moved on. On monarch, the AI builds more, expands more, but is still stupid :). Even when you think you are behind in the late game, dont despair. You can usually outbuild it to space or outculture it. Also, on this level, I suggest building a...

    Worst UU

    imo its the jaguar tied with the ballista elephant. the jaguar is weaker than the original unit, as well as being highly situational. the ballista elephant......... well, just look at it...........

    I'm too dependant on floodplains

    well, my advice is to probably mix up your game a little. I used to be addicted to floodplains as well, until i started rushing. then i started experimenting with wonderspam, REX, specialists, etc. Sometimes, you'll surprise yourself with how good you really are.

    Having trouble on Moncarchy

    i cant answer most of your questions, but i'll take a stab at some. for GPs, early in the game, lightbulbing expensive technologies such as philosophy with great scientists is very beneficial, but settling or building academies also works very well. try to figure out the best use for each GP...

    Help

    100% is usually WAYYYY too high. Also, on higher levels, you cant rely on the oracle or stonehenge. try playing a game without wonders for a change to see if you can win without them

    Trade Routes

    To use trade routes effectively, free markets help a LOT, as well as having GLH and intercontinental trade routes with other civs. Used right, trade routes can bring you the equivalent of several towns.
