Exsanguination
No longer here
I find that if I build 5-10 very good, solid productive cities, and STOP there, I am satisfied for the whole game. I've tried the expand and conquer method, but to me, its just no fun. I prefer to stay isolationist and pacifist, let the AI duel it out and kill itself. With those 5-10 productive cities, I find that often I can build temples/libs/univs in <10 turns, so producing military is a piece of cake. Usually, by the mid-middle ages, if anyone goes to war with me (usually cause they think I'm small and weak) get a little surprise, and I just raze their cities or keep the good ones for fun. This method works best if you're on an isolated island on your own. I find this results in a much more enjoyable game.
