I would like to see the ability to learn a new tech or two from a captured civ. This could be over a few turns or you automatically receive points towards your research of the tech. Example, I like to preform an early rush and I capture the Civ's only city. Say this civ has AG and i don't, why...

The first warrior follows the coast or a river. I just pick a direction and go. I'm interested in finding a close civ to wipe out. If the first warrior went east, the next warrior goes NE or SW. Once i make contact with a civ I head towards it.

If your economy can't support your new cities and depending on the map, raze the cities and wipe their tiny civ off of your contintent. Then build your new found area up at your pace. However, be aware that the other players may move in and redevelop your new lands. Only exception to razing...

Depending on the map, the civ i'm attacking, where the city is located on the map from my capital, and finally, if the war is almost won, I start with a courthouse to lower cost. Another factor is when in the game the war is taking place. In a late game war I typically destroy the city and try...

TMIT - I usually play on Nobel and typically a four warrior rush to a non-protective civ works well. Sometimes i bring a few extra warriors as you pointed out if the civ is protective or I further away. In case they to decide to produce another defender. Never really thought about attacking with...

I base my game plan off of the map. If I can eliminate a few civs quickly, I go for it with warriors or an early axe rush. Tech wise, it really depends who I start with. Do I need to research a religon, no. I can always let a nearby civ do the work for me and capture the holy city. Now i have a...

I'm a big fan of the early rush. Typically when i play and i find a close civ, I try to build 4 warriors and rush the city. In most cases it works, however, depending on the civ, this may not work. I use to play as Roosevelt, but got tired of him. I started playing random civs and found i...

Well that stinks. Mental note for a future game.

I usually play on noble with a huge map. I can't remember any other settings.

At the start of a game i like to find the closest city and capture it with a couple of warriors. Some cizs are easier to defeat than others. Plus defensive bonuses can add to the challenge. This strategy gives me enough room to expand plus I already have a second city with a worker or two. Once...

Quad games rock! :crazyeye: Look at me... and me... and me... and me!!

I've tried that. I currently started a new game, still very early in the game. Around 900AD no problems yet, however most of the map is still hidden. Any other ideas? Has anyone else encounter this problem?

Hard drive has been Defrag. Buying a desktop is an expensive alternative. Any other ideas?
