I played Diety. Got my arse handed to me. Expected that.
Played this GotM. I expected to do ok, maybe win. Got my ass handed to me. Got very frustrated. Told myself that I would never play Civ3 again.
Read what J. Sobrado had to say about beating the game in 450AD and realized that I just need to find out how to play this game and try not to play it like Civ2 (which I was just able to beat on Diety before Civ3 came out). Damn you guys (Firaxis) for making the game so frustrating but so replayable!
Slight advantage my ass!

I guess I have a slight advantage as far as experience playing, but here are my saves. Game won: 450AD.
As for advice... building settlers is not the only way to expand. just make sure you pick your battles carefully. ;-)
