Just building on what BlackMage said, you'll need catapults. The amount you need depends on how well defended the city is. If there are say 6 units defending, I'd use around 4 cats with my other units (you may want more or less depending on your play style or your strategy). I move them adjacent...

I've played Civ II and III, but with Civ IV, I think I've given up with conquests. After capturing several cities, the maintenance rates go up exponentially and start killing my economy (despite having well-developed core cities), so I have to reduce my research rate to 50% or lower, and I fall...

The problem with the Great Library is that unlike Civ2 (where it was obsolete by electricity), it becomes obsolete when you research education, which is only in the middle ages. In my game (where a lot of fighting brought me 3 great leaders and thus 3 wonders), I built the GL after I researched...

Thanks for the input everyone. By stacking infantry/artillery on fortresses I was able to beat their advance (comp kept retreating to friendly territory to heal) into submission. I was even able to take out a few tanks/mech inf. In a few turns I'll be able to build Panzers and then I'll start...
