This got nothing to do with this thread, but I have a question: Are you guys playing Earth in Beyond the Sword? I've been away from Civ4 since summer, and haven't tried Beyond the Sword yet. I'm wondering about getting it an play some after my exams are over.

Great strategy......

Build: Worker > Warrior (grow) > Settler > Warrior (grow) > Worker If it's a coastal city with sea resources I usually build workboat instead of second warrior. Tech: Depends on my strategy. If early rush, I go BW > AH > Archery, and chop/whip out an army. But rushing is usually not my...

India is catching up, man.

True, no tech trading in MP. I usually play long games, like earth and "one continent each", so often it goes long beyond banking.

After multiply MP games I have learned one thing - don't ever trust nobody! Last night was it, I had a good lead as Spain on Earth18Civs, then England, Germany and Greece all attacked - two of them being my "allies", because Persia was strongest empire in the game. Because of this I now want to...

Oh, and of course Arabia - they completely dominated the Red Sea and Indian Ocean before the Portuguese came around Africa. I can't remember the name of the galley they used in early times, but it is mentioned by Ibn Battuta, the Arabian Marco Polo, who wrote text about boat journeys down...

It should rather be two UU, and one of them could be naval for naval-based civilizations like Portuguese, Netherlands, Vikings and England. Maybe also Japan, not sure if they actually had a good naval in earlier times, but they sure did in modern times.
