I've been lurking these forums for years. I've played civ3,civ4 and civ5. But nothing drew me in as much as civ4 with its seemingly infinite possibilities for the win and complexity. I've learned a hell of a lot from reading discussions here and from watching absolutezero's videos, but I feel even though I win all the time on noble I'm most likely not doing the most optimal things. (I really only play noble because I dislike the idea of the computer having an unfair advantage, it should be on equal terms, the computer should probably be smarter though.
Anyway, I've seen people upload game saves here... If I upload an end game save, can you guys see from that my every move in the past? I feel I've got a semi good grasp of whipping, optimal tech path etc, but maybe I've got it all wrong.
My other question was on optimal building order. Assuming I have all the tech for important buildings in a new city, also assuming a good food source and a couple hills, what is the best build order? Right now I go monument (if needed), granary, forge, courthouse, library, barracks, stable and in coastal cities, I go monument (if needed), granary, lighthouse, forge, courthouse, harbor, library, barracks, stable
