Any tips for a chieftan?

F1 - Research, Luxury, and Cities, along with finances
F2 - Resources and who you can trade with
F3 - Your military
F4 - Who you know.
F5 - I believe this is the culture one
F6 - Technology
F7 - Wonders
F8 - Victory/Histograph
F9 - Palace?
F10 - Top 5 cities?
F11 - Spaceship?

The last three is because I don't know the order.

F1 - Domestic Advisor.
F2 - Trade Advisor.
F3 - Military Advisor.
F4 - Foreign Advisor.
F5 - Culture Advisor.
F6 - Science Advisor.
F7 - Wonders of the world.
F8 - Victory Conditions and scores.
F9 - Palace.
F10 - Space Ship.
F11 - Top 5 cities and Demographics.
F12 - Nothing.

Not necessarily, I had riflemen when they had pikes, and my military advisor said that we fear their pikemen..

Not exactly. Your military advisor will always fear the enemies most advanced unit. Just as the AI always fears your most advanced unit. And since the AI's most advanced unit was pikemen, that's what he feared.

Since we're on the question on help, I need tips for a Monarch. Yes I'm playing Monarch, but I never seem to even get close to flight, Once I was one tech away and I won, think cultural. Is this because the majority of games I'm playing is on Pangea??? Also, maybe Pangea is the reason that I haven't gotten used to ships yet. Hell, I bet I'd lose in a Continent game on Warlord.

If you have the Domination victory condition on, you may be winning the game by domination before you get to flight. If you just want to try out flight, start a new game and disable domination or, even better, enable only the space race victory condition. That way, the game has to run through the modern techs.

I think I could go pretty far with a industrious/scientific civ, industrious to road terrain for the commerce, which goes to science, and scientific that just speeds up the science. Then I'd need settler factories for the extra towns for extra science.

Looks possible.

(PS - I have never once gone into the modern age, maybe if I play with accelerated production??? Personally I think that's cheating the system, but it's for the experience.)

I think accelerated production is intended for multi-player games. Not generally recommended for playing against the AI. I've never used it, but I suspect putting AP on would just help you beat the AI faster, thus decreasing your chances of getting to the modern ages. You could also consider bumping up the difficulty level. That should slow down your victory a little.

You mean to Emperor? The jump from M to E was the Greatest leap. I gotta spend some time in the War Academy.

It halves the cost of growth and production (you'll need 5 shields for a warrior and 10 food for pop2)

But it will do it for all players (AI too) so you can build 2 times the units in the same amount of turns (even more because you'll have bigger cities faster) but so does the enemy! In the end, you'll just spend your time paying for more upkeep and giving orders to more units.

It will speed up the RL-time spend to multi-player games, because in multi-player games you spend most of the time waiting for your opponents to do their moves. If you can have a sizable army in less turns, it means you spend less RL-time to it.
But in single player, it makes to spend more RL-time. (because you'll have to give orders to more units)

Actually I went to the CivContent menu and tried out Modern Start.

Not as exciting as the first 2 ages.
