Map size and game speed should be remembered if you start the game from the first screen.

In Civ5 terms, Egypt was a client City State. You can import Food from Maritime City States.

The Carpet of Doom is why you Never Fight a Land War in Asia.

Build a few warriors and spawn a few brutes. This allows quick exploration, important for strategic planning. Steal a couple of workers. On King or Emperor level, you sometimes then have an opportunity for a Brute Rush against a militarily weak wonder-builder, such as Egypt. Be sure to have...

1upt Rocks That doesn't mean it can't be improved. Great Leaders should not count against stacking. Non-combat units should be able to link to a combat unit for convenience. Workers should be able to share space with non-enemy combat units. Pathing should use rally points so that...

As Zydor points out, proper use of terrain to protect ranged units is essential. On open, dry terrain, knights would flank and overrun archers. But on...

Note archers were organized separately, and subject to flanking attack.

Hear, hear!

That's right. You need to destroy the enemy army. The cities will then fall in short order. Sword and catapult or sword and archers are great fun, even if (or because!) they require more attention to detail. Add a scout or horseman, and a spearman or two to protect the flanks, and you have...
