Blitzkreig Tactic

[King Bubba Jean]

Alright the Blitzkreig Tactic is where you put like 20 men on the fringe of each of the civ that you want to take over's cities, then when they nag you about putting men in their town just say youll take them out but move them closer to the cities then when the time is right declare war and just bombard their cities!
(this works better early off, or on real small civs.)

the REAL blitzkrieg tactic is

1) using panzers

2) using captured land to get more free movement to drill further into enemy territory

I saw up above you havent gotten to the modern age, but when/if you do, check out the germans. youll be AMAZED how many cities you can take over in 1 turn with a relatively small stack of panzers

i wouldn't call anything in civ3 a blitz--the fact that you cannot use the roads in enemy territory means you aren't going to be moving too fast...

Umm, its very easy to do a blitz. Panzers/MA's have 3 moves. Assuming cities are optimally placed, you will usually have to move 2- squares inside enemy territory to attack a city, sometimes only one square if you use the diagonals. You take the city and gain instant access to the RR, then move on to the next city, repeat, kill the entire civ in one turn. It is too powerful IMO, in fact the only unit you need to build in the modern age is MA's.

From city B (RR's everywhere), what is stopping you from reaching city C and attacking in a single turn? Then you can just keep repeating it.
