This is a walktrough and a collection of advices on how to survive and be competitive in a multiplayer FFA game. It assume you have a good all around knowledge of Civ4 (Warlords 2.08 patch) and I'd say this guide will be useful for anyone who is not an expert but can at least win on Noble and Prince. Make sure you know all game concepts and have had few multiplayer game experience. It may seem complicated at once, but with some practical experience and time you will do all of these instinctively. Especially in the case of city placing, priorities of workers and battles in the field, experience will make an huge difference.
Unless you are extremely familiar with the game already, I would suggest starting a single player game and following the guide chapter by chapter to get a hold of all the concepts and strategies.
