Okay, I know everyone's trying to create the "best strategy" that will fit in this new game... The AI really rocks in this game and it's hard to win the game at regent difficulty or higher... I posted a thread yesterday in the "Strategy and Tips" Section, I thought I had found a good strategy... But it wasn't 
Now I come with a new one and I need your opinion...
Granaries are useless... I tried to build a strategy based on a city with granary building only settlers/warriors but it was TOO slow (AI was faster), so I needed to find something to put between two settlers that will be shorter than a granary but longer to make that a simple warrior... The key was spearman... Why to make warriors when you will need to disband them later because they suck? Ok, here's what I found:
Research order:
- Bronze Working
- Ceremonial Burial
- What you want
Capital City:
The Capital City should be used to rush Settlers
- Spearman (if you are scientific civ) or Warrior (if you're not) for defense
- Warrior (if you don't have scout) to explore
- Spearman (if scientific) or Warrior (if not) to escort future settler
- Settler (send him with an escort)
- Warrior (another to explore, if you don't have scout and playing on continent)
- Spearman (escort)
- Settler
- Spearman
-Settler
- ETC (Build cities until you can't expand anymore)
1st City:
The 1st City should be used to rush a wonder
- Worker
- Spearman (defense, in addition with other Spearman who was the escort)
- Temple
- Wonder you want (Pyramid and Great Library are good ones)
- After wonder, develop city as you wish...
2nd City:
The 2nd City should be used to rush settlers too
- Worker
- Spearman (to escort future settler, no need for any defense cuz the escort Spearman supposed to be already here)
- Settler (send him with a spearman)
- Spearman (escort)
- Settler
- Spearman
- Settler
- ETC. (keep buidling until you can't expand anymore)
3rd City:
The 3rd city could be used
1. To rush another wonder (rather try) IDEM 1st
2. To be developped (for military purposes or whatever):
- Worker
- Spearman (additionnal Defense)
- Temple
- Do what you want here
I know, it's a complicated strategy, but the game is hard too Now I need some opinion about it... What could be changed, etc?
P.S.: Sorry for any english mistakes, I'm french
