Well, duh, they're going to bathe in it.

Swordsman. As I am often Axe rushing, at the point a swordsman would even be useful against my opponents, I'm probably already so much more stronger than them, it won't matter. Curassier, one of those things I seem to skip on the way to better techs. Machine Gunners, I prefer Infantry.

Joao is a notorius backstabber. I'm not surprised at all that this would happen to you. The simple fact that there were a bunch of defensive pacts on the board at once, seriously opened you up to being turned on. I'd say you played it way to safe with your defensive pacts. Joao will gladly...

Terra, 18 civs, marathon, huge map. Select all the warmonger civs as your opponents. Aggressive AI, Raging Barbs, Vassals on, eliminate all victories except for conquest/domination. Choose any dificulty level you'd like. This is challenging for me still.

just set worker built tree's to produce 0 hammers if chopped.

Cyrus is a lot of fun to play, you can expand quickly, and grow your cities, and still have an experienced army. An early immortal rush with Cyrus is brutal.

I always name the cities after myself. So, the first city is like, "Lazarus City" then there is St. Lazarus, and Lazarus Parish and Santa Lazarus, and Lazville, The Great Eye of Lazarus, Port Lazarus... No ego here... seriously.

Early conquest is probably, and this is my opinion, the best strategy in Civ IV. Why is this? One, it's easier to take cities earlier, because, more than likely, your closest rival civs will not have a large or veteran military. Two, taking enemy capitols is better than building your own...

^^ Yeah Native America is still giving the United States -564352345243 for razing their cities.

One trick I learned from some guides in these forums, is about subsidizing resources. That is, if someone needs what you have, you can actually give them money first, then trade them the resource for that amount of money. Giving you a net gain of 0.... that is for 10 turns. At that point, you...

I personally like making instructors, though I used to be a fan of addding a warlord to a unit. I will still add a general to a single super unit if I've got one or two instsructors, and I want a super medic, or another super unit. Some games, I'll only make super units, and have an "elite"...

Programs cannot cheat. They're programmed to not do that. So if you're AI is cheating, then I'm looking out for Terminators and Neo.

I'm going to disagree about organized here. Firstly, having a built in courthouse effect is strong. It means much more rapid expansion, without the loss of scientific output. Adding a courthouse to that, is VERY powerful. It mostly shows when you expand quickly and have a decent sized army...

Well I think he meant "clearly stronger." Since he says, "clearly stronger," not unbalanced. As for arguing semantics, I work a graveyard shift. I have nothing better to do in the middle of the night when all is well and quiet.

Man, facing impeachment huh. I would have just shut down the impeachment by making myself King!
