Hope there are som noobs too im immortal SP so i know gamemechanics well but not mp tricks. My mistake is often to follow sp patterns and I get my but kicked especially by evil muff. Thats why I want to play random maps so theres room for building and it not only becomes an all out predictable wargame. For me civ is also about discovering the world and adapt to the situation, managing economy and outgrow rivals, not only about getting a military edge and whip your cities to dust wich is all that matters on some maps.
