The AI seems to alter strategies depending on units. Once they get to infantry and higher they really start stacking the units. Before that they seem to like 4-5 unit stacks at most. The largest I saw recently was a major tactical error on my part, but required. The game was all but over...

30 minutes on a P4? Something is very wrong with your PC. How much RAM do you have? I am playing on a P4 1.7/512Ram, with a huge map, 8 civs left, all animates turned off and a turn takes like a minute. Maybe another minute longer if the Russian move all their ironclads around. Even on...

That really makes very little sense unless you are on a TINY map, and even then marginal. Your maximum numbers of cities is maybe 4 and even then they will still be touching. I agree, it is all about your borders, but being on a island with little or no contact with the outside world will put...
