Hints for civ IV-players

[Jokeslayer]

I thought it depended on the relative experience levels of both parties, i.e. an elite defender makes it harder for a fast attacker to withdraw.

The editor has an option to change the retreat chance based only on the experience level (presumably, as this is a percentage, only the experience of the fast unit matters, although it would be more sensible if both counted)

Can someone explain this thread to me?

Are these hints for Civ4 players who want to play Civ3?

 

[MAS]

Yes, These are hints for people new to Civ3 who are used to Civ4. It was meant as a parody on the thread/article for Civ3 players who suck at Civ4.

But It actually provides useful hints for all people new to Civ3...

A hint: lurk in the SG forum, the team discussions there can be very useful in tactics and city management, plus pretty much any other facet of the Civ3 game. Another hint might be download the current GOTM or COTM game, give it your best, and then read the spoilers posted by the elite players, see how they did everything better and faster.
