Nottingham should be taken immediately. At that point, I would play a defensive role unitl the English deplete their current inventory of units. Once your power graph exceeds the English, you need to start taking out the rest of the English's cities. Otherwise, you seem to be doing fine.

Urm, declare peace? Egypt is way stronger than you are... Only Cesear will talk alliance and you do not have anything he wants... So, I would consider building SEALs and placing them in that forrest on your border with Egypt. Fortify 3 or so there. I would take the forrest defense...

I would not worry about having a dominant tech that can take out all civs... I would obtain a tech and take out one of the small fish civs... Alternately, you can take out a civ involved in a war... Sometimes the AI will fight wars. The advantage to not being the tech leader is that the AI...

Artillery has regressed back to civ 2 style. Artillery can destroy land units and capture cities. The use for artillery is to bombard cities hitting the "b" button. Then attack with sacraficial artillery to reduce the unit strength of the stack. Then finish off wounded units with your...

*edit* I opened your saved game. Your power graph looks like you can take on any... There are some changes that I would make. 1. Where are your artillery units? They move slow but save you unit loss. 2. You have heavy garrisons and you do not need such large garrisons. 3. Upgrade units...

I do not know the exact method to calculate power. I do know that power increases if you cash upgrade units or build new units.

I played civ 3 on diety... from time to time but I prefered Monarch which I could enjoy playing more... So, in that context, I play this game on Noble right now. I play to have fun and to get a feel for what the best approach... I would consider chop rushing the pyramids. This allows...

I still have graphis problems. I adjusted my pci latency in my mother board settings. I changed the latency from 60(I think) to 128. This has helped a lot. I still get a crash to desktop if I look at territory outside my own... This hurts for stragetic planning....

As mentioned, those locations are not "the best" locations. The AI seems to place you at a distance of 4 from your capitol. that is 2 diagonal and 1 straight out. I build a worker after all the tiles that yield 3 food unimproved are being worked. This takes a little while but I build...

There is a govenor you can turn on and there is a button to emphasise food. Your city needs 2 food per person to not starve. You need 2 food for each additional person. By irigating grassland or improving food bonsus tiles, you can grow even faster.

I have not got the specialists down yet but I have some opions. First, you want tiles that yeild 3+ food. Second, you need a granary. Third, techs help a lot. The general goal is to have all your cities to have about the same size. cities with mountains or desert are good canidates for...

That should be, In Civ4, there's no corruption displayed. There is corruption in the form on shield production loss. It is not until Communism that corruption is distributed equally. I am unsure about trade. Cash from towns may not be corrupted.

Play the tutorial. That was a good introduction. Read the succesion games under stories & tales. Read the various strategy posts.

download and install the latest patch, start a new game and I will be happy to help. =P Reading the power graph and the score graph is essential.

Having one religion in your country does a few things: 1. you produce culture by having a state religion without buildings. 2. fighting with other civs with that religion causes unhappniess. 3. founding a religion that spreads to other civs cities will allow you to see the trooops moving...
