I've found that I learn more from the loading screen quick tips than the manual, so I figured that a handy reference of all the quicktips would be... handy.
Here goes, english and tag-free. Generic (useful) tips start at #300:
1) Animals hunt unprotected settlers! Beware!!
2) Build Settlers to expand your empire with new cities.
3) Use Workers to improve the land around your cities and build roads that help establish trade routes.
4) Build the special Indian Fast Worker to construct roads and railroads and to improve your land. It can move further than regular workers, allowing it to move and carry out an action on the same turn.
5) Build Scouts when you want to explore new territory; they get better results from Tribal Villages. However, they cannot attack other units.
6) Build Explorers to explore uncharted territory more quickly than Scouts can; they get better results from Tribal Villages. They cannot attack other units.
